Disclosed is a projector, the projector including a light source, an illumination unit illuminating light incident from the light source, and a display device enabling to realize an image by receiving the light irradiated from the illumination unit, and whose center is positioned at an axis different from an optical axis of the illumination unit.

An image processing apparatus generates image data for projection by applying a deformation process to obtained image data based on an input parameter related to the deformation process. The image processing apparatus prohibits execution of the deformation process if it is determined that a magnification related to the deformation process based on the input parameter with respect to the obtained image data is out of a predetermined range.

A lens unit includes a correction lens that corrects movement of a focus position of an optical system, a holding frame that holds the lens, a stationary tube that movably supports the frame along a direction of an optical axis, a movement guide portion that is provided between the tube and the frame in a radial direction of the tube and limits rotation of the frame in a direction intersecting with a plane orthogonal to the optical axis and guides movement of the frame in the direction of the optical axis, bimetals that are provided between the tube and the frame in the direction of the optical axis and change a distance between the frame and the tube along the direction of the optical axis, and a first biasing means that relatively biases the frame against the tube via the movement guide portion in the radial direction of the tube.

A projection lens has a lens barrel holding a lens. In a case where an image forming panel is disposed to be shifted with respect to an optical axis of the projection lens, in a second part on a side to which the image forming panel is shifted with respect to the optical axis of the projection lens, there is a great increase in temperature, and in a first part on the opposite side, there is a small increase in temperature. A lens barrel heating optical section has a first mirror, condensing lenses, and a second mirror. The lens barrel heating optical section emits the redundant light, which is reflected by the color wheel, toward the first part of the lens barrel. By heating the first part through redundant light, temperature distribution in the circumferential direction becomes uniform, and deterioration in performance of the projected image is suppressed.

The selection unit allows selection of one of a plurality of controlled objects located in correspondence with vertices of a contour of an image based on image information and sides of the contour. The correction unit allows movement of the controlled object selected by using the selection unit within the image based on the input operation and corrects the contour of the image based on the moved controlled object.

A magnification optical system forms an enlarged image of an object. It includes a refractive optical system including a plurality of lens groups; and a mirror train including a curved mirror, arranged in this order from an object side, a first focus structure configured to move the respective lens groups of the refractive optical system by different amounts along a normal line of a conjugate surface on the object side, and a second focus structure configured to move the respective lens groups along the normal line of the conjugate surface on the object side by different amounts from those of the first focus structure.
