  • Publication number: 20240361681
    Abstract: A projection device including an imaging module, a freeform-surface reflective mirror, and a projection lens assembly is provided. The imaging module is configured to provide imaging beams and includes a display panel and a light-source module. The imaging beams are transmitted toward the projection lens assembly by the freeform-surface reflective mirror. The projection lens assembly includes a first optical axis and a second optical axis. The first optical axis passes through the projection lens assembly. The imaging beams emitted by the projection device form an imaging-beam region, in which the first optical axis does not pass through a geometric center of the imaging-beam region, and the second optical axis passes through a geometric center region of the display panel. The geometric center region is a region having a distance less than or equal to 40% of a minimum width of the display panel from a geometric center of the display panel.
