Abstract
A projector, a method for controlling the same, and a projection system which can improve the resolution more efficiently by pixel shifting are disclosed. The projector controls the degree of modulation in a plurality of optical modulation devices and generates a plurality of optical images. To the plurality of optical images, the projector applies first pixel shifting according to the period and second pixel shifting regardless of the period, and projects a resulting image. The first pixel shifting and the second pixel shifting are different from each other, either in the amount of pixel shifting or the direction of pixel shifting.
