Abstract
A display apparatus includes a light source, an optical phase modulator, a drive circuit, and a controller. The optical phase modulator includes a plurality of pixels, and modulates a phase of light from the light source for each of the pixels by displaying a phase distribution pattern indicated by phase distribution data. The drive circuit performs voltage application to the optical phase modulator based on the phase distribution data. The controller divides a pixel region in the optical phase modulator into a plurality of division regions. The controller causes the drive circuit to perform voltage application based on adjustment data to perform display in at least one division region of the plurality of division regions. The adjustment data is for determining an amount of voltage application performed by the drive circuit. The amount of voltage application corresponds to the phase distribution data. The display is based on the adjustment data.
