Abstract

An image projection device includes: a panel unit configured to emit light rays; a projection optical system configured to receive the light rays emitted from the panel unit and to refract the light rays; a reflection unit having a reflection surface for receiving the light rays refracted by the projection optical system and reflecting the light rays; and a screen unit configured to display an image upon receiving the light rays reflected from the reflection surface. The panel unit, the projection optical system, the reflection unit, and the screen unit are arranged such that a distance of a shortest path among paths extending from the panel unit to the reflection unit through the projection optical system along a predetermined linear axis is longer than a distance of a longest path among paths extending from the reflection unit to the screen unit along the predetermined linear axis.
