A projector includes: an optical modulator including a liquid crystal cell, a first optical element formed of an optical material having positive uniaxiality, a second optical element formed of an optical material having positive uniaxiality, a third optical element that includes at least one optical film formed of an optical material having a refractive index anisotropy, and a pair of polarization elements; an adjustment mechanism that makes it possible to adjust an optical azimuth of a first group, which has at least one of the first optical element, the second optical element, and at least one optical film included in the third optical element, with respect to a fixed optical azimuth of a second group as a remainder excluding the element included in the first group among the first to third optical elements; a light source that generates light for illuminating the optical modulator; and a projection optical system that projects the light that has passed through the optical modulator.
