Abstract

A projector includes a light source, a Fresnel lens group parallelizing the beam output from the light source, a light-incident-side polarizer transmitting the beam having exited out of the Fresnel lens group, a light modulator modulating the beam having passed through the light-incident-side polarizer to form a projection image, a light-exiting-side polarizer transmitting the beam modulated by the light modulator, and a projection lens projecting the beam having passed through the light-exiting-side polarizer. The Fresnel lens group includes a first Fresnel lens having positive power and disposed at a position closest to the light source in the Fresnel lens group, and a second Fresnel lens having positive power and disposed at a position shifted from the first Fresnel lens toward the light modulator. The light incident surface of the first Fresnel lens has a Fresnel surface. The light exiting surface of the first Fresnel lens has no Fresnel surface.
