Abstract

A tilt servo apparatus which can correct a tilt error at a high speed and with high precision irrespective of a magnitude of the tilt error even if a response speed of a liquid crystal device decreases is provided. An amount of change and an increase/decrease of a signal intensity are detected by changing a correction value of a tilt error correcting arrangement by a first correction width, and a correction width of the correction value and a correcting direction are determined on the basis of the detection result. When the amount of change of the signal intensity is smaller than a predetermined amount of change, the correction width is changed to a second correction width which is smaller than a first correction width. When it is larger than the predetermined amount of change, the correction width is changed to a third correction width larger than the first correction width. The correction width is also determined in accordance with a change in environmental temperature.
