A projection display includes an image display device that displays an image, a projection unit that projects the image displayed by the image display device to a projection surface, a light irradiator that irradiates the projection surface with linear light at an incident angle shallower than an incident angle of projection light, in which the linear light extends along a first direction within the projection surface, an imaging unit that has an optical axis different from an optical axis of the light irradiator, and performs capturing of the projection surface, and a signal processor that performs signal processing on an imaging signal outputted from the imaging unit. The imaging unit performs capturing of the linear light with which the projection surface is irradiated, and the signal processor corrects, on a basis of a captured image of the linear light, a distortion of the projected image.
