Abstract

A video projector which can obtain high brightness of a projected image, high color purity and low color shading and which can be downsized and reduce the manufacturing cost is provided. The video projector has: an optical source 1; a color selection scanning device 21 for selectively filter a color of a light from the optical source 1 to generate a light flux having a specific color in synchronism with a supplied video signal; a video displaying device 4 for modulating an intensity of the light flux in synchronism with the video signal pixel by pixel to form a modulated image responsive to the video image; an imaging lens 72 disposed between the color selection scanning device 21 and the video displaying device 4, for imaging an intensity distribution and a color distribution of the light flux outgoing from the color selection scanning device 21 on a surface of the video displaying device 4; and a projecting lens 5 for projecting the modulated image formed by the video displaying device 4.
