Abstract: The rear side outer peripheral edge of a propeller fan rotated and driven by a motor, of a propeller fan drive unit, is surrounded by a bell mouth. An upper plate, a lower plate, a side plate, and a machine room plate constitute an air duct at the suction side, outside the radial direction of the propeller fan. The cross-section of the bell mouth, at a first position in the vicinity where a blade of the propeller fan is closest, and where the distance between the propeller fan and the plate constituting the air duct outside the radial direction is relatively narrow, is made to be such that an expansion angle ?1 of the bell mouth suction side is made small. The overlapped height Hb of the propeller fan and the bell mouth is made large against a cross-section at a second position where the distance between the propeller fan and a plate is relatively large. The shape of the cross-section of the bell mouth is made to change gradually between the first position and the second position.

A driver of a liquid crystal display element includes a sub-frame data generator configuring all the sub-frames with step bit pulses and generating sub-frame data by using a drive gradation table in which the last sub-frame reaches a drive state when a drive gradation is “1” and the number of sub-frames reaching the drive state is increased one by one toward ahead of a sub-frame which has already reached the drive state, every time the drive gradation is increased by one. The liquid crystal display element is driven by the driver. An illumination optical system causes illumination light to enter into the liquid crystal display element. A projection lens projects modulated light emitted from the liquid crystal display element.
