ABSTRACT:
A projector includes an illumination system including a light source having an ellipsoidal reflector and an arc tube having a luminescence center in the vicinity of a first focus of the ellipsoidal reflector, and an integrator rod having a light incidence plane in the vicinity of a second focus of the ellipsoidal reflector and converting light from the light source to light having a more even intensity distribution; a relay optical system that guides the light from the illumination system to a region being illuminated; a micromirror modulator that modulates the light from the relay optical system in accordance with image information; and a projection optical system that projects the light modulated by the micromirror modulator. The arc tube includes an auxiliary mirror that reflects the light radiated from the arc tube toward the region being illuminated into a direction of the ellipsoidal reflector.
