Abstract
A projection display apparatus is provided which forms an optical image corresponding to image information by optically processing a light beam emitted from a light source lamp and projects this optical image with a projection lens unit on a projection screen under magnification. The projection display apparatus may include a lighting count detector that detects a lighting count of the light source lamp, and a replacement warning unit that outputs a warning signal, which urges a user to replace the light source lamp, in case where the lighting count detected by the lighting count detector reaches a predetermined value, making it possible to more accurately determine the lifetime of the light source lamp by detecting the lighting count which affects the lifetime of the light source lamp.
