PROJECTOR AND METHOD OF CORRECTING PROJECTED IMAGE DISTORTION

A projector has a distortion correcting circuit for correcting a distorted quadrangular projected image, which is projected onto a projection surface along a projection optical axis inclined in at least one of leftward, rightward, upward, and downward directions, into a rectangular corrected image, such that one of the vertexes B, D on the opposite ends of either one of two diagonal lines of the rectangular corrected image is positioned on one side La of the outer edge of a projection range of the projected image and the other vertex on another side Lb that is positioned adjacent to the one side La.
