Projector

A projector comprising:

• a light source having a placement surface on which a plurality of light emitters are placed, the light emitters including a first light emitter, a second light emitter, a third light emitter, a fourth light emitter, and a plurality of fifth light emitters;
• and
• a light modulator having a rectangular display region that modulates light outputted from the light source in accordance with image information,
• wherein
• the first through fourth light emitters define a placement region where the fifth light emitters are placed,
• in a plan view viewed in a direction of a normal to the placement surface, the placement region is a rectangular region defined by
• a first side that connects a first center of the first light emitter to a second center of the second light emitter,
• a second side that connects the second center to a third center of the third light emitter,
• a third side that connects the third center to a fourth center of the fourth light emitter, and
• a fourth side that connects the fourth center to the first center,
• the fifth emitters include:
• a sixth light emitter placed in a position closest to a middle point of the first side, the sixth light emitter outputting light with intensity smaller than intensity of light outputted from the first light emitter and smaller than intensity of light outputted from the second light emitter,
• first portion light emitters arranged in a first direction extending from the center of the first light emitter toward the middle point of the first side, the first portion light emitters between the first light emitter and the sixth light emitter outputting light of less intensity with distance in the first direction, and
• second portion light emitters arranged in a second direction extending from the center of the second light emitter toward the middle point of the first side, the second portion light emitters between the second light emitter and the sixth light emitter outputting light of less intensity with distance in the second direction.
