Projector

Abstract

A projector including a light source device configured to emit light, a light modulator configured to modulate the light emitted from the light source device in accordance with an image signal, a projection optical device configured to project the light modulated by the light modulator, and a cooler configured to cool a cooling target based on transformation of a refrigerant into a gas. The cooler includes a refrigerant generator configured to generate the refrigerant and a refrigerant sender configured to send the generated refrigerant toward the cooling target. The refrigerant generator includes a flow passage section through which the refrigerant flows. A portion of the inner surface of the flow passage section that is the portion facing the lower side in the gravity direction inclines with respect to the horizontal plane perpendicular to the gravity direction.
