摘要:
The invention provides a plate-shaped polarized light separation device that has a repetitive structure of polarized light separation film surfaces and reflective film surfaces arranged alternately at a fine pitch, along with a projection display apparatus that uses this polarized light separation device. In the process of manufacturing the polarized light separation device, first a glass block is formed by alternately pasting together plate glass with a polarized light separation film made up of a multi-layer thin film of inorganic material upon its surface and plate glass with a reflecting film upon its surface, and this glass block is cut obliquely to the pasted surfaces. A projection that is usable at the time of the positioning of the polarization beam splitter may be provided on at least one side of this plate-shaped block that is thus cut out. By providing a &lgr;/2 phase plate on portions of the light exit surface of this polarized light separation device, one obtains a polarized light separation device that takes light from a light source and emits it as a light flux having only one direction of polarization, either S-polarized light or P-polarized light. Such a polarized light separation device can be used in a projection display apparatus.

A red-reflecting film and a blue-reflecting film are formed in a substantially X shape on joint surfaces defined by the respective side faces of four columnar prisms or right-angle prisms. The red-reflecting film is continuously formed without separating at an intersection of the two reflecting films. The blue-reflecting film is, on the other hand, divided into two pieces by the red-reflecting film and an adhesive. It is preferable that that four columnar prisms are obtained from one block of sheet glass. This arrangement ensures an improvement in properties of a resulting light-selective prism.

A projection-type display apparatus in accordance with the invention reduces the margin formed around the image forming range of the light valves, and forms a bright projected image. Emitted light from a light source lamp unit of a projection-type display apparatus illuminates liquid crystal light valves of each color via an integrator optical system. First and second lens plates of an integrator optical system that serves as a uniform illuminating optical system are disposed such that the attachment position thereof is capable of fine adjustment in a direction vertical to the optical axis. By performing fine adjustment of the attachment position of these, the forming position of the illumination range B can be adjusted to include the image forming range A of the liquid crystal light valves. Accordingly, there is no need to provide a wide margin around the image forming range A, taking shifting of the forming position of the illumination range B into consideration. Thus, efficient usage of the illumination light can be increased, thereby improving the brightness of the projected image.

The invention provides a dichroic prism capable of reducing displacements of projection pixels of colors caused by chromatic aberration of magnification. A dichroic prism is formed in the shape of a quadrangular prism as a whole by joining four rectangular prisms together. A red reflecting dichroic plane and a blue reflecting dichroic plane intersect to form substantially an X shape along junction surfaces of the prisms. The red reflecting dichroic plane is convex-shaped by partly changing the thickness of an adhesive layer for connecting the rectangular prisms together. Accordingly, since a red beam can be guided to a projection optical system while being enlarged, it is possible to reduce a projection image of the red beam to be projected onto a projection plane via the projection optical system. This makes it possible to reduce relative displacements of projection pixels of color beams caused by chromatic aberration of magnification.

An output light from an a light source lamp unit 8 in a projection-type display apparatus projector illuminates liquid-crystal light valves 925R, 925G and 925B for three colors via an integrator optical system 923. A superimposing lens 930 that is a component of the integrator optical system 923 as a uniform illumination optical system is arranged such that the mounting position of the superimposing lens 930 is fine-adjustable in a direction orthogonal to an optical axis 1a. By fine-adjusting the mounting position of the superimposing lens 930, the position of an illumination area B is adjusted such that the illumination area includes the image forming area A of the liquid-crystal light valve. It is not necessary to assure a wide margin around the image forming area A to cover the offset of the position of the illumination area B. As a result, the utilization of illumination light is heightened and a bright projected image results.

摘要:
The structure of the present invention makes dark lines due to a central axis of a cross dichroic prism sufficiently inconspicuous. A stepped reflecting mirror is interposed between a second lens array and a condenser. The stepped reflecting mirror has the function of deviating the optical path of part of the partial light fluxes among a plurality of partial light fluxes passing through a plurality of small lenses aligned on the same column in lens arrays from the optical path of the other partial light fluxes. A planar transparent member may be used in place of the stepped reflecting mirror for the purpose of deviating the optical path. Another technique shifts part of rows in the lens arrays and to deviate the optical path of part of the partial light fluxes.
摘要:
A polarizing illumination device and a projection display device using the polarizing illumination device improve light utilization efficiency. Polarizing conversion elements are placed so that one of polarizing separation films of a first polarizing conversion element and one of polarizing separation films of a second polarizing conversion element are close to each other and so that effective incident areas and ineffective incident areas are alternately arranged in the x direction. The width WP in the x direction of the effective incident areas and the ineffective incident areas is set to be larger than half of the width WL in the x direction of small lenses in a second lens array. The optical axes of each of small lenses are offset from the lens centers thereof so that partial beams emerging from the small lenses in a first lens array optimally enter the effective incident areas where the partial beams should enter.
