An object of the present invention is to provide a projection type image display apparatus in which an imaging lens can be replaced according to a focal length of a projection lens. In order to achieve the above object, a projection type image display apparatus includes: a light source; a lighting optical system configured to guide light from the light source to a display element; a projection lens mounting portion in which a projection lens configured to project the light transmitting through or being reflected by the display element is mountable, and that is configured to allow one replaceable projection lens of a plurality of replaceable projection lenses to be selectively mounted in the projection type image display apparatus; and an imaging lens mounting portion configured to allow one imaging lens of a plurality of replaceable imaging lenses to be selectively mounted in the projection type image display apparatus.

Projection type video display device

A projection video display apparatus includes an input unit to input a video signal; a display to display the inputted video signal; a plurality of light sources to generate light; an illumination optical system to guide the generated light to the display; a projection optical system to project light via the display; and a controller to control the light sources, a lighting ratio and a current value per time for each light source. The controller has a black display control mode, for each light source, which makes a relative rate of a lighting ratio for a light source with a specific color smaller than the other light sources, and reduces the current value of the other light sources to be less than a current value of the light source with the specific color when compared with a case where the input video signal is a white signal.

Projection video display apparatus

In an image display system including a pen and a projection-type image display device having an interactive function, attributes such as a color and a thickness of a line or a figure to be drawn can be more flexibly switched at a lower cost. According to a typical embodiment, a pen-shaped pointing tool has a light emitting portion which emits non-visible light with a predetermined wavelength. The projection-type image display device has an interactive function unit which, from image data captured by a sensor performing image-capturing based on reflection light of the non-visible light with the predetermined wavelength reflected on the screen, recognizes a position of and a content of a light emitting pattern emitted from the pointing tool onto the screen, and executes process contents which are different from one another, based on the recognized position of and content of the light emitting pattern.
