Abstract
In a projection type image display apparatus, for enlarging an image on a image display apparatusby means of a projection lens, thereby projecting the enlarged image onto a screen, obliquely, being inclined thereto, between the projection lensand a rear-surface mirror, there are disposed free shaped surface mirrorsand, each having a free shaped surface for compensating a trapezoidal distortion due to oblique projection of the enlarged image. The surface configuration of the free shaped surface mirror is so shaped as to satisfy a following equation:|1−2|>1.4·if assuming that a distance for a light beam of an upper end of the enlarged image to reach the screen after being reflected upon a free shaped surface is 'L1', a distance for a light beam of a lower end of the enlarged image to reach the screen after being reflected upon the free shaped surface is 'L2', and a distance from an upper end of an image on the screen to a lower end thereof is “Dv”.
