The present invention provides a display system capable of efficiently calibrating image content even when the image is displayed and thereby capable of reducing the time and cost required for calibration, and also provides a computer-readable recording medium. The control device thereof processes an image to be displayed on a display section beforehand so as to be usable for calibration. While the image is actually being displayed on the display section, the control device captures an image displayed on the display section using a capturing device at the timing at which a calibration image is displayed, compares the luminance or color in the calibration image with the luminance or color in the image obtained by capturing the calibration image, and creates correction information for correcting an image signal to be output to the display section on the basis of the result of the comparison.

A method and an apparatus for displaying 3D images are disclosed. 2D images are projected from multiple points to a surface with narrow diffusion characteristics, thus it is possible to get a 3D light field with arbitrary angular dependence. According to the invention, the projectors (10) do not target particular screen (12) points. The projectors (10) are directed to the screen (12) with no special positioning, however from the bunch of light beams present, pertaining to the large number of pixels in the projected images, it is possible to select and define a pixel-wise precise 3D light-field through a calibration process. A novel calibration method and device are also described for calibrating 3D display systems, the device being equipped with proper image sensor(s) and a control system.

A current control apparatus for an electric load can prevent burnout at a short-circuit accident with high control precision. A switching element is interrupted by an overcurrent detection circuit upon occurrence of a load short circuit, but is transitionally limited in current by a current detection resistor. A differential amplifier amplifies a difference voltage between voltages at opposite ends of the current detection resistor to generate a monitored voltage Ef corresponding to a load current. A microprocessor controls the energization rate of the switching element so as to make an estimated load current Ime calculated from the monitored voltage Ef coincide with a target load current Is, and it calculates, upon calibration operation, calibration constants and estimates, during actual operation, a load current Ime from the monitored voltage Ef using the calibration constants.
