Abstract
An image projection apparatus includes a light source unit including a plurality of laser light sources, a light modulation element configured to modulate illumination light generated using a laser beam from the light source unit and to generate image light projected onto a projection surface, and a controller configured to control driving of the plurality of laser light sources. The controller controls a luminance of the illumination light by selecting a first laser light source that emits the laser beam and a second laser light source that does not emit the laser beam among the plurality of laser light sources.
