A projector that can be easily carried and can simply project an image even in an environment where there is no table or a base for placing the projector. The projector (1) has an image projection section (2) and a support leg (3) for supporting the image projection section (2). The projector (1) with the support leg (3) projects a image from the image projection section (2) toward a screen with the support leg (3) set in an upstanding position. The support leg (3) has a support section that allows a change of the projection direction of an image projected from the image projection section (2). The angle of elevation of projection light (7) projected from the image projection section (2) can be changed by pivoting the image projection section (2) about the support section.
