摘要 |
The invention provides an illumination optical system and a projector that can efficiently utilize light from a light source by causing light from the light source reflected by an elliptic reflector to pass through the corresponding cell lenses of first and second lens arrays. The illumination optical system causes at least light beams in a center portion around a light-source optical axis, of reflected light reflected by an elliptic reflector, to pass on the optical paths extending slightly outward relative to the optical path parallel to the light-source optical axis, like the light beams, so that the light beams pass through the corresponding cell lenses of a first lens array and a second lens array.
