Disclosed is a reflecting wavelength plate that deflects and reflects a light path and adds a phase difference with respect to plural incident light having different wavelengths. The reflecting wavelength plate includes a substrate; a reflecting film laminated on the substrate; and a sub-wavelength concavo-convex structure that is laminated on the reflecting film and has a pitch less than or equal to the shortest wavelength of the plural incident light. The filling factor and the groove depth of the sub-wavelength concavo-convex structure are determined so as to add the phase difference obtained by (kπ)/8, where k is an integer, to the plural incident light having the different wavelengths.
