A projection image display apparatus including a detachably attachable light source unit includes: a storage means provided to the light source unit and having previously stored therein information that the light source unit is a genuine product; a determination means making a comparison with the information in the storage means to determine whether the light source unit is the genuine product; and a light source control means controlling an output of the light source unit in accordance with a result from the determination means.

Projection display apparatus having stored information for authenticating light source

A gamma correction device for a liquid crystal display device including LCD panels. The gamma correction device includes a storage device for storing gamma correction data corresponding to chiral directions of LCD panels. A chiral direction data acquisition circuit acquires chirality data on the chiral direction of a LCD panel arranged in the liquid crystal display device. A control circuit sets a gamma correction datum adapted to the chiral directions of the LCD panel arranged in the liquid crystal display device selectively from the stored gamma correction data based on the acquired chirality data. A gamma correction circuit performs a gamma correction process on image signals provided to the LCD panel using the set gamma correction datum.
