Patent ID: 8226248

Claim:
A projection display device comprising: an imager for modulating light from a light source based on an image signal; a projection optical system for enlarging and projecting the light modulated by the imager onto a projection plane; and a shift mechanism for displacing the imager in a direction intersecting with an optical axis of the projection optical system, wherein the projection optical system and the shift mechanism are co-mounted on a base member, wherein the shift mechanism includes a fixing portion on which the imager is fixed, and a guide portion provided between the fixing portion and the base member, and for guiding the fixing portion in such a direction as to intersect with the optical axis of the projection optical system, wherein the base member has a wall-shaped support portion extending perpendicular to the optical axis, and the fixing portion is displaceably mounted on a first side surface of the support portion through the guide portion, and the projection optical system is fixed to a side second surface of the support portion opposite to the first side surface, wherein the fixing portion includes a plate portion parallel to the first side surface, and a placement portion extending from the plate portion in a direction opposite to the first side surface, and for placing the imager thereon, and the fixing portion further comprises a first reinforcing rib for preventing deformation of the placement portion.
