The control section is configured to turn on a first subset of the pixels in a first partial area based on first coordinate information, and to turn on a second subset of the pixels in a second partial area based on second coordinate information different from the first coordinate information. A first tilt of the first partial pixel area differs from a second tilt of the second partial pixel area.
