Projection display apparatus having a correlation table that stores the correlation between an external condition and the value of power supplied to a light source

摘要

A projection display apparatus of the present invention includes: a lamp power controller 13 changing the value of power supplied to super-high pressure mercury lamp 21; atmospheric pressure sensor 61 detecting the atmospheric pressure around where projection display apparatus 1 is installed; and correlation table storage 53 in which information on power supplied to the light source, set up corresponding to atmospheric pressure is stored. Lamp power controller 13, based on the previously stored information on power supplied to super-high pressure mercury lamp 21, set up corresponding to the atmospheric pressure, controls the power supplied to super-high pressure mercury lamp 21 in accordance with the atmospheric pressure detected by atmospheric pressure sensor 61.
