摘要:
This invention provides a projector capable of effectively utilizing the light from the light source and significantly reducing the light illuminating the outside of the area to be illuminated, thereby attaining an excellent efficiency of light utilization. In the illuminating system of the present invention provided with a light source and a reflector, there is further provided a circular reflector of a spherical surface, for returning the light, which emerges from the light source to the outside of the area to be illuminated, without being reflected on the reflector, to the light source. Also there is provided a flat mirror or a substantially spherical sub reflector for returning the light, which proceeds to the outside of the area to be illuminated, after being reflected on the reflector, to the light source. The sub reflector may be provided in the vicinity of the light source.

A polarizing conversion unit is disclosed. The unit is provided with a polarizing beam splitter for separating light from a light source into first and second polarized lights differing in polarized state from each other, polarizing conversion means for varying the polarized state of the first polarized light and making it substantially coincident with the polarized state of the second polarized light, and reflecting means for reflecting the first or second polarized light, at least a portion of that surface of the outer peripheral portion of the polarizing conversion unit which is parallel to the optical path of the light functioning as a reflection surface.

An optical modulating device comprises a polarizer, an analyzer and liquid crystals positioned between the polarizer and the analyzer. The device controls the birefringence of the liquid crystals by applying an electric field to the liquid crystals so as to change the polarization of light of the device. The device further comprises a rotatable halfwave plate which is positioned between the liquid crystals and the analyzer or between the liquid crystals and the polarizer in such a manner that the optical axis of the halfwave plate will be rotated around the optical axis of light coming into the optical modulating device. The device varies the rotational angle of the halfwave plate in accordance with the temperature of the liquid crystals or the environment thereof.

The present invention relates to an optical modulation device that maintains good contrast despite changes in temperature and is capable of performing stable display. A polarizer, a first and second modulator and an analyzer are provided. Each modulator is a chiral smectic liquid crystal layer held between two opposite substrates which have different orientation determining abilities. The chiral smectic liquid crystal layers have at least two stable alignment states and substantially the same temperature dependency and tilt angle. The molecular axis of the first modulator at one of the two stable alignment states is substantially parallel to a transmitting modulation axis of said polarizer and is substantially perpendicular to a transmitting polarizing axis of said analyzer, and a molecular axis at one of the two stable alignment states of said second modulator is substantially parallel to a transmitting polarization axis of said analyzer.
