A projector includes: a main body section including a light source, a display surface irradiated with light from the light source, and an emission optical system capable of emitting the light from the display surface, and once converting the light from the display surface into light forming an image plane of the display surface tilted with respect to the display surface; and a projection unit projecting the light from the display surface, emitted from the emission optical system, toward an irradiated surface, and having an angle-widening mirror with a concave surface having positive power and reflecting and widening light forming an image plane of the display surface tilted with respect to the display surface. The main body section or the projection unit includes a variable power optical system varying magnification of the image forming the image plane of the display surface tilted with respect to the display surface.
