A rear projection display, not requiring a dichroic prism, and capable of rendering a generation system of each image light in color independent of the other generation systems so as to optimally construct and improve easiness of assembly of, and so on, each generation system, is provided. Each unit for projecting image-light is formed of an LED array, a rod integrator, a liquid crystal display panel, and a projection lens. A projection optical axis of the projection lens of each unit for projecting image-light is parallel each other. A unit for projecting image light in red is provided with an LED array for emitting light of a wavelength band in red, a unit for projecting image light in green is provided with an LED array for emitting light of a wavelength band in green, and a unit for projecting image light in blue is provided with an LED array for emitting light of a wavelength band in blue. Each image light in color obtained as a result of passing through the liquid crystal display panel is projected by the projection lens, and displayed on a screen. As a result, each image light in color is superposed on the screen, and an image in full color is displayed.
