ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to an image projection apparatus. The apparatus comprises a light source having first and second high-luminance light-emitting portions along an optical axis, a reflecting mirror, arranged behind the light source, for reflecting light beams from the first and second light-emitting portions to direct the light beam from the first light-emitting portion toward a central portion of an image and direct the light from the second light-emitting portion toward a peripheral portion of the image, a projection optical system for projecting the image on a plane, and focusing means, arranged to be adjacent to the image and having a larger focusing effect at a peripheral portion than at a central portion, for causing the light beams from the first and second light-emitting portions to be incident on the projection optical system.
