ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a display apparatus, comprising: a light source or light sources for emitting a luminous flux or luminous fluxes having a plurality of colors; a spatial light modulator for modulating the luminous flux(es) having a plurality of colors incoming from the light sources; and controller for processing video image input data, which is input, and controlling the light source(s) and the spatial light modulator, wherein the controller generates a plurality of video image signals of colors constituting a video image based on the video image input data, and controls the light source(s) so as to cause the light source(s) having at least two colors, from among the light source(s) having a plurality of colors, to perform pulse emission in sequence and modulate the pulse emission during a period shorter than a modulation period controlled under the spatial light modulator is with the video image signal of one color from among the video image signals.
