A light modulation device side lens group has different powers in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of a liquid crystal panel. Therefore, as the entire system of the optical projection system, the light modulation device side lens group has different magnification in the longitudinal and lateral directions. Therefore, it is possible to make the aspect ratio of an image of the liquid crystal panel different from the aspect ratio of an image projected on a screen. That is, conversion can be performed on an aspect ratio. At this time, a distance p between each focus or a diaphragm and the screen SC side end surface of the light modulation device side lens group satisfies the conditional expressions, so it is possible to achieve a predetermined or higher telecentricity in both states, that is, a first operating state and a second operating state.
