Abstract
A projector includes a projection unit to project an image on a screen; an angle detector to detect shaking of the projection unit; and a trapezoidal distortion correction unit to conduct automatic trapezoidal distortion correction of the image displayed on the screen based on an inclination angle of the projection unit detected by the angle detector, and to enable manual trapezoidal distortion correction of the image displayed on the screen. When the manual trapezoidal distortion correction is conducted after the automatic trapezoidal distortion correction, the trapezoidal distortion correction unit determines whether an angle deviation of the inclination angle exceeds for a given threshold angle for a given time period. When the trapezoidal distortion correction unit determines that the angle deviation exceeds the given threshold angle, the automatic trapezoidal distortion correction is conducted again.
