Abstract

Assuming that a normal line of an image display surface of a DMD is a normal line Ax of the image display surface, that a direction in which a light beam specularly reflected by a mirror is outputted is a specular reflection direction R, and that an angle that the specular reflection direction R forms with respect to the normal line Ax of the image display surface is denoted by γ, an image projection apparatus satisfies the following conditional expression: β≧2·γ−β≧β, where βand βrepresent a diffraction angle of an odd-order diffracted light, and βrepresents a diffraction angle of an even-order diffracted light.
