Abstract
Image projection and display devices include a plurality of projectors, a projection screen forming a focusing plane for the projected images from the plurality of projectors, mutually overlapping regions existing between the images, a test image storing section for storing prescribed test images, and an image capturing section for acquiring projected test images in which a prescribed test image is projected. The devices further include a correction data calculating section for calculating correction data for correcting the input images for the respective projectors, on the basis of the acquired test images, in such a manner that a uniform or continuous brightness is achieved across the whole projection area including the overlapping regions, a correction data storing section for storing the correction data thus calculated, and an image correcting section for correcting the images input to the respective projectors, by using the correction data.
