Abstract

A projection lens system has a first lens to a sixth lens which are serially arranged in this order from a screen side. The first lens has a meniscus configuration in which a convex surface is directed toward the screen side and the power of the lens changes from positive to negative from the optical axis toward a peripheral portion of the lens. The first lens has two aspherical surfaces. The second lens has a positive power meniscus configuration in which a convex surface is directed toward the screen side. Both surfaces of the second lens are aspherical. The third lens has a positive power meniscus configuration in which a convex surface is directed toward the screen side. The fourth lens is disposed close to the third lens and has two convex surfaces. The fifth lens has a positive power meniscus configuration in which a concave surface is directed toward the screen side. Both surfaces of the fifth lens are aspherical. The sixth lens has a concave surface which has a large curvature directed toward the screen side. The surface of the sixth lens on the screen side is aspherical.
