Abstract
A projection optical system for use in an image projection apparatus illuminating a lightbulb forming an image in accordance with a modulating signal with illumination light from a light source is disclosed. The projection optical system includes first and second optical systems arranged along an optical path defining an upstream-downstream direction in the order described from upstream to downstream on the downstream side of the lightbulb. The first optical system includes at least one dioptric system and has positive power. The second optical system includes at least one reflecting surface having power and has positive power. The image formed by the lightbulb is formed as an intermediate image in the optical path, and the intermediate image is magnified and projected.

35. A magnification projection apparatus that:
- displays an image on an image display panel;
illuminates the image display panel with light from a light source;and by a magnification projection optical system, guides a light beam from the image display panel to a screen in an upstream-downstream direction, projects the light beam from a direction inclined to a normal of the screen, and forms on the screen a magnified version of the image displayed on the image display panel, wherein; a position and a shape of an intermediate image of the image display panel formed with negative magnification by light beams traveling from the image display panel to the screen are substantially identical to a position and a shape, respectively, of an intermediate image of the screen formed with negative magnification by light beams traveling from the screen to the image display panel.

36. A projection optical system, comprising:
-
a first optical system including at least one dioptric system and having positive power; and a second optical system including one or more reflecting surfaces having power, the second optical system having positive power as a whole, wherein the first and second optical systems are arranged along an optical path defining an upstream-downstream direction in an order described from upstream to downstream on a downstream side of an object surface; an object image is temporarily formed as an intermediate image, and thereafter, is formed as a final image; and with respect to an optical axis of an optical element positioned at a furthest upstream end of the first optical system and having refractive power, at least one of other optical elements is shifted or tilted. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
