Abstract

A projection apparatus and a control method thereof are provided. The projection apparatus includes a light source, an optical engine, a first sensor, and a processor. The light source provides a light beam to the optical engine. The optical engine converts the light beam into an image beam and projects the same out of the projection apparatus. The first sensor senses an ambient temperature. The processor is coupled to the optical engine, the light source, and the first sensor, records a projection time of the optical engine, selects a selected temperature range in which the ambient temperature is included from multiple temperature ranges according to the ambient temperature, and selects a selected driving program from multiple driving programs corresponding to the temperature ranges according to the selected temperature range to control the light source. A brightness of light beam is negatively related to the projection time.
