Abstract
A method for evaluating the quality of a lens comprising illuminating imaging light on a screen through the lens to form a projected image, where the imaging light having a test-pattern image is generated using a test sheet on which a test pattern for measuring a resolution of the lens is formed to evaluate the resolution of the lens; detecting a brightness of the test-pattern image displayed on the screen by an image-capturing device using an imaging sensor; calculating an input level on the basis of the detected brightness of the test-pattern image; and calculating an evaluated value of resolution. The method, further comprises adjusting a position of the test sheet to a position corresponding to a focus of the lens by detecting the test-pattern image while moving the test sheet back and forth in the direction along an optical axis of the lens.
