A projection-type display apparatus includes a light source; a color separating/synthesizing device arranged to divide light from the light source into three different color light rays; and three reflection-type display devices arranged to reflect the three different color light rays, respectively. The color separating/synthesizing device is further arranged to synthesize the three different color light rays respectively reflected by the three reflection display devices. The color separating/synthesizing device has transmittance of substantially 50% for each of a s-polarized light ray having a first wavelength and a p-polarized light ray having a second wavelength. A difference between the first wavelength of the s-polarized light ray and the second wavelength of the p-polarized light ray is equal to or less than 40 nm.

A projection type image display apparatus of the present invention includes: a light source; a polarization selective reflection element having a function of reflecting or transmitting a light beam from the light source in accordance with a polarization direction thereof; and an element for modulating a polarization plane of an incident light beam in accordance with an image to be displayed. The polarization selective reflection element is film-like and has an optical transmission axis and an optical reflection axis. The polarization selective reflection element transmits a first linearly polarized light beam, and reflects a second linearly polarized light beam having a polarization plane orthogonal to a polarization plane of the first linearly polarized light beam, regardless of a direction of incidence of a light beam with respect to the polarization selective reflection element.

A projection type image display apparatus which includes an arc lamp for emitting light rays by arc discharge, a reflecting mirror for reflecting the light from the arc lamp, the light rays being made parallel by an optical means such as a condenser lens, and projected into a transmissive display panel. The parallel rays are focused by the microlens array in the respective picture elements. The light rays through the transmissive display panel are projected onto a screen. The arc of the arc lamp is directed perpendicularly to the optical axis of an optical system so that the light rays are made parallel with the optical axis by the optical means.

A microlens array is provided on a light-outgoing side of a monochromic LCD element having a plurality of pixels each corresponding to any one of the three colors R, G, and B. Microlenses of the microlens array respectively correspond to pixel groups each of which is composed of three pixels corresponding to the three colors R, G, and B, respectively. Light fluxes having passed through the microlens array are converged at an entrance pupil position of a projection lens by a field lens and form pixel enlarged images corresponding to the colors R, G, and B. At the entrance pupil position, there is provided a color filter having color regions which respectively correspond to the colors to which the pixel enlarged images correspond. With this arrangement, it is possible to make a diverging angle smaller, at which light passing through the LCD element and the microlens array and being converged on the projection lens by the field lens is diverged. Therefore, there is no need to make the projection lens have a great diameter. As a result, it is possible to provide a projection-type color LCD device having a single-panel arrangement which can be produced at lower costs.

A method of concealing a bright defect in a transmission display device which displays by selectively transmitting plural beams different wavelength bands shed onto corresponding pixels of a transmission display element through a microlens according to a voltage applied to each pixel is arranged such that only a beam of a wavelength area shed onto a defective luminance point pixel is selectively blocked. On the other hand, the beam shed onto normal pixels surrounding the defective pixel, wherein a bright defect is not generated would be transmitted through the liquid crystal display panel without being blocked. Therefore, the method enables only the defective luminance point pixel to be concealed without affecting the normal pixels, thereby improving a display quality of the transmission display device.
