Abstract

A projector according to the present disclosure includes: an illumination optical system; a separator; a first light valve; a second light valve; and a projection optical system. The illumination optical system generates illumination light. The separator separates the illumination light from the illumination optical system into first illumination light and second illumination light. The first light valve is illuminated with the first illumination light separated by the separator and generates first image light. The second light valve is illuminated with the second illumination light separated by the separator and generates second image light. The first image light generated by the first light valve and the second image light generated by the second light valve enter the projection optical system through the separator. The projection optical system projects the first image light that has entered the projection optical system toward a first display region and projects the second image light that has entered the projection optical system toward a second display region.
