Original Abstract Submitted

A projection system includes a first optical system and a second optical system sequentially arranged from the reduction side toward the enlargement side, the first optical system formed of a plurality of lenses. The first reflective optical system has a first reflection surface having a concave aspherical shape. The second reflective optical system has a second reflection surface having a concave shape or a planar shape. The third reflective optical system has a third reflection surface having a convex aspherical shape. At least two of the first, second, and third reflection surfaces each have an aspherical shape. The projection system satisfies Conditional Expression (1) below
