Abstract
A projector apparatus includes: a case; a light source which is provided in the case and emits light by supply of power; an opening provided in the case; an image projection unit that generates image projection light from light of the light source and emits the image projection light through the opening in order to project an image onto a screen; a shutter which is moved to a block position at which the opening provided in the case is blocked or to an open position at which the opening is opened; and a light leakage section which provides notification that the power is being supplied to the light source by allowing some light beams of the light source or some light beams of the image projection unit to leak to the outside of the case in a state where the shutter is located at the block position.
