Projection display device having an operation section for displacing a lens

1. A projection display device comprising:

a projection lens section to which light modulated by a light modulating element is entered;

a mirror section which receives light emitted from the projection lens section and reflects the received light to a projection plane that is external from the projection display device and on which an image is projected;

a main body cabinet that houses the projection lens section and the mirror section, the main body cabinet including a V-shaped concave groove that is concave toward an interior of the main body cabinet, the V-shaped concave groove including a first sloped portion and a second sloped portion that slopes in a direction of the light reflected by the mirror section;

a projection port provided in the main body cabinet through which the light reflected by the mirror section passes to the projection plane, the projection port being provided in the first sloped portion of the V-shaped concave groove in the main body cabinet; and

an operation section which displaces a lens in the projection lens section,

wherein an optical path of the light reflected by the mirror section through the projection port is directed to pass over a portion of the main body cabinet that houses the projection lens section, and

wherein the operation section is disposed in a side of the main body cabinet, other than a side of the main body cabinet in which the projection port is disposed, and the operation section is disposed so that the operation section does not hinder an optical path of the light that has been reflected by the mirror section through the projection port provided in the main body cabinet.

2. The projection display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the operation section is disposed in a side face region other than a side face region at the projection port side occupied by the optical path of the light that has been passed through the projection port, of a side face region on the main body cabinet, when the main body cabinet is viewed from the projection port side.

3. The projection display device according to claim 2 , wherein

the operation section is externally exposed from a left side face of the main body cabinet or a right side face of the main body cabinet when the main body cabinet is viewed from the projection port side.

4. The projection display device according to claim 3 , wherein the operation section includes:

a knob section touched by a user at manipulation; and

an accommodation section depressed from the side face of the main body cabinet and provided in the left side face of the main body cabinet or the right side face of the main body cabinet, and

the knob section is accommodated in the accommodation section so that the knob section may not project from the side face of the main body cabinet.
