An object of the present invention is to suppress an influence due to temperature change and various aberrations. It is a
projection lens which projects an image on a surface of a screen (magnified side). A first group I having a negative refractive power and a second
group II having a positive refractive power are arranged in order from a magnified side toward a reduced side. The first group I is configured to arrange a first lens and a second lens in order from the magnified side, and the second
group II is configured to arrange a third lens to a seventh lens. The first and second lenses are a negative
meniscus lens whose both surfaces are formed by the aspherical surface in which an area near an
optical axis of the surface on the magnified side is a
concave surface. The third lens is a cemented lens in which a bi-concave lens is cemented to the surface on the reduced side of a bi-convex lens. The fourth lens is a positive
meniscus lens whose both surfaces are formed by the aspherical surface, and a convex surface of the positive
meniscus lens faces toward the reduced side. The fifth lens is the cemented lens in which the bi-concave lens is cemented to the surface on the reduced side of the bi-convex lens. The sixth lens is a positive lens whose strong convex surface faces toward the reduced side. The seventh lens is the positive lens whose both surfaces are a convex surface.
