Abstract

See full text

A projection optical system which, when projecting an image of an optical modulator onto a projection surface on an enlarged scale, differs the aspect ratio of the image of the optical modulator and the aspect ratio of the image projected onto the projection surface, and includes, in order from the projection surface, a first group which is an enlargement optical system; a second group includes an adjustment optical component with a surface rotationally asymmetrical to an optical axis, when defining at least one direction of the vertical direction and the horizontal direction of the optical modulator as an adjustment direction in which conversion adjustment using compression or extension is performed, the adjustment optical component having at least one optical system which differs in power between the adjustment direction and another direction; and a third group which has a correction optical component with a surface rotationally symmetrical to the optical axis.
