ABSTRACT:
A projection lens system that projects projection light from a light modulator onto a screen and which is telecentric on an input side is provided. The projection lens system comprises a first meniscus lens that is disposed closest to the screen, is convex on a screen side, and has negative refractive power; and a second meniscus lens that is disposed next closest to the screen, is convex on a screen side, and has negative refractive power. The first meniscus lens is made of plastic and at least one out of two curved surfaces thereof is aspherical, and a refractive power of the first meniscus lens is lower than a refractive power of the second meniscus lens. In the projection lens system, far superior aberration-correcting performance can be achieved and a drop in aberration-correcting performance due to thermal deformation can be prevented.
