ABSTRACT:
A rear projector for performing image projection includes: a screen and a projection optical system. The screen has a rotationally symmetric Fresnel lens. The projection optical system has at least one reflection surface formed of a rotationally asymmetric free curved surface. The projection optical system is nonaxisymmetric and makes a central principle ray incident obliquely on the screen in the image projection. The Fresnel lens has aberration that cancels out pupil aberration of the projection optical system so that principal rays of beams exiting from the Fresnel lens become substantially parallel to each other.
