An illuminating system and method for improving asymmetric projection includes a light source producing a light beam to form a light path, a projection lens disposed in the light path, a light valve inserted in the light path between the light source and the projection lens, and at least one anamorphic surface unit placed in the light path between the light source and the light valve. The anamorphic surface unit offsets a distortion of a light spot resulted from obliquely incidence on the light valve, thus an asymmetric light spot can be improved as a more symmetric one to increase illuminating collection efficiency and uniformity.
