Apparatus and method, both for controlling spatial light modulator

摘要

An image display apparatus includes: an illumination light source controlled by an illumination light control unit for projecting a first illumination light and a second illumination light; a first SLM for modulating a first illumination light; a second SLM for modulating a second illumination light; and an SLM control unit for controlling the first and second SLMs, wherein the SLM control unit controls the second SLM in accordance with a control process performed by the illumination light control unit during a period when the SLM control unit receives and applies a video image signal for controlling a modulation of the first SLM.
