  • Publication number: 20150163468
    Abstract: In at least one embodiment, a projector includes a light source device, an optical modulation device, a projection optical device, and an operation button. The optical modulation device modulates a luminous flux emitted from the light source device in accordance with an image data to form an image. The projection optical device includes a reflecting mirror that projects the image from the optical modulation device toward a projection surface. An image opening allows the image projected from the projection optical device to pass through. The image opening is defined in a tilted surface of the projector exterior housing. The tilted surface is obliquely inclined relative to the projection surface. An operation button is disposed on another surface of the projector exterior housing. The other surface overlaps the reflecting mirror in plan view.
