A clear color image having a high contrast ratio without particular coloration is displayed on a screen by improved display apparatus. Such display apparatus is comprised of a spatial light modulator including a photo-conductive layer, a photo-modulator layer and a dielectric mirror, a device for writing color images of different colors onto the spatial light modulator time-divisionally in a sequence of the different colors, a reading device for producing reading lights having different colors in synchronism with time-divisional writing of the color images, and for projecting the reading lights to the spatial light modulator, a driving device for supplying the spatial light modulator with different voltages and frequencies correspondingly with the reading light of different colors and in synchronism with time-divisional projections of the reading lights, and a device for projecting the color images read out from the spatial light modulator on the display device.The dielectric mirror may have a light absorbance characteristic controlled to be wavelength-selective to absorb a color of light to which the photo-conductive layer is most sensitive, so that lights having different colors leaked into the photo-conductive layer through the dielectric mirror are controlled to cause a uniform impedance of the photo-conductive layer.

A color filter which, in a reflection type color picture projector using a polarized light component as a projection light, improve the utilization factor of light and a color picture display device using the same color filter are provided. The color filter 3 using a transmission type hologram diffracts and spectroscopically separates P polarized light components related to respective primary colors and condenses them to pixel electrodes 13r, 13g, and 13b on the side of an LCD panel 1. A reflection light which is modulated by an optical modulator 16 on the side of the LCD panel 1 and becomes S polarized light component is incident on the color filter 3. The color filter 3 transmits the S polarized light component and uses it as the projection light. Since the color filter 3 can diffract a P polarized light component at diffraction efficiency of about 100% while restricting the diffraction efficiency of S polarized light component to about 3%, which is substantially advantageous compared with diffraction of S polarized light component, the utilization factor of light can be improved

This specification discloses an image projector for projecting a tri-color composite optical image on a screen as a magnified optical image. A reading light beam emitted from a light source is separated into three color beams, e.g., Red, Green and Blue color beams through a tri-color separation and composition optical system. The separated color beams are irradiated on image forming devices provided correspondingly with Red, Green and Blue color images to read out color images respectively therefrom. Each of the reflected light beams from the image forming device carrying color image information impinges again on the tri-color separation and composition optical system to compose a composite image beam. The composite image beam is projected on the screen through an optical lens system comprising a first lens group, a second lens group and a third lens group disposed along an optical axis in order. The first lens group forms a composite color image on the second lens group by focusing the composite image beam from the tri-color separation and composition optical system. The second lens group converges the composite image beam therefrom to the third lens group. The third lens group projects the composite image beam on the screen as a magnified image. A focal length of the lens system is arranged shorter than a back-focal length defined as a distance between the front surface of the first lens group and a object focal point thereof.

A drive apparatus for an optical element array includes a counter counting clock pulses and being periodically reset at a horizontal scanning period. The counter outputs first and second counter signals out of phase with each other. A latch holds a pixel-corresponding segment of an input image signal. One of clock signals out of phase with each other is selected in response to the pixel-corresponding input-signal segment held by the latch. A first comparator compares the first counter signal and the pixel-corresponding input-signal segment held by the latch, and outputs a first identity signal when the first counter signal and the pixel-corresponding input-signal segment are equal to each other. A second comparator compares the second counter signal and the pixel-corresponding input-signal segment held by the latch, and outputs a second identity signal when the second counter signal and the pixel-corresponding input-signal segment are equal to each other. A drive pulse is generated which starts in synchronism with a start of a horizontal scanning period and which ends in response to the selected clock signal and in response to the first and second identity signals. An optical element in the array is driven in response to the drive pulse.
