Abstract
An image projection apparatus includes laser light sources that each emit laser light; a beam combiner combining the laser lights; a beam deflector periodically changing a traveling direction of the combined laser lights and directing the laser lights to a screen; and a controller controlling a drive current supplied to the laser light sources based on a relationship between the drive current and a total light intensity outputted from the laser light sources, in which the total light intensity comprises three ranges, the controller supplies the drive current to the laser light sources when the laser lights are emitted in the total light intensity included in either the first or the third range, and the controller supplies the drive current to at least one or some of the laser light sources when the combined laser lights are emitted in the total light intensity included in the second range.
