Abstract

A projection apparatus comprises: a first laser beam source configured to output a visible laser beam; a second laser beam source configured to output an invisible laser beam; a scan unit configured to project an image by scanning a projection surface using the visible laser beam output from the first laser beam source and the invisible laser beam output from the second laser beam source; and a control unit configured to control a timing at which the first laser beam source outputs the visible laser beam and a timing at which the second laser beam source outputs the invisible laser beam so that, in a period corresponding to a target pixel in the image, the visible laser beam is output in a first period and the invisible laser beam is output in a second period different from the first period.
