  • Publication number: 20210333696
    Abstract: A first holding barrel, a first mirror bending a first optical axis of the first holding barrel at 90°, a second holding barrel, a second mirror bending a second optical axis of the second holding barrel at 90°, and a third holding barrel are disposed on an optical axis from a screen side to an image forming panel. A first connection member connects the first holding barrel including the first mirror to the second holding barrel to be rotationally movable in increments of 90°. A second connection member connects the second holding barrel and the second mirror to the third holding barrel to be rotationally movable in increments of 90°. An orientation of a display image of the image forming panel is changed based on rotational movement states of an optical axis of a first sensor and an optical axis of a second sensor to make an orientation of a projection image on the screen match an original image.

    Abstract: The imaging optical system consists of first and second optical systems in order from a magnified side. The second optical system forms an image on an image display surface as an intermediate image. The first optical system forms the intermediate image on a magnified-side conjugate plane. A height H of a principal ray of light having a maximum angle of view becomes maximum on a lens surface of the whole system (having focal length f) on the most magnified side, among heights of principal rays of light having a maximum angle of view on respective lens surfaces, satisfying predetermined Conditional Expressions (1) and (2): 0.03<H×|f|/(L×I)<0.09??(1) 0.35<I/dl??(2) Where L is an optical axis distance between lens surfaces on the most magnified and reduced sides, I is a reduced side maximum image height, and dl is a maximum air spacing on the optical axis within the system.
