摘要:
A polarizer optical device for receiving and transmitting light is provided. The polarizer optical device includes a light separating section for separating the light into two polarization components which are othogonal with respect to one another. Further, the optical device is provided with a polarization rotating section for rotating the two polarization components so that a phase difference between the two polarization components othogonal to each other is 1/2.lambda.. Finally, a light combining section is provided for combining the light into a outputted light beam. The light combining section may be formed with a combination of birefringent prisms and isotropic mediums interfacing one another. In these configurations, the refractive index of each prism or medium is selected so that an angle formed with two unparallel incident lights differs from an angle formed with two output or transmitted lights. The two unparallel incident lights and the two output lights travel on a plane surface which is vertical with respect to the interface surface between the two prisms.

A projector includes an illumination optical system, a light modulation element, and a projection optical system. The illumination optical system includes a first light source section, a plurality of second light source sections, and an optical axis conversion element. The optical axis conversion element emits the light beam, which is input from the first light source section, so that an exit optical axis of the light beam approximately matches with an illumination optical axis, and emits the light beams, which are respectively input from the plurality of second light source sections, so that exit optical axes of the light beams intersect the exit optical axis of the light beam from the first light source section between the optical axis conversion element and the light modulation element.

A polarizing conversion device in accordance with the invention includes a first optical element for condensing an incident beam and forming a plurality of intermediate beams spatially separated from one another, and a second optical element for spatially separating each intermediate beam into two polarized beams and aligning the polarization directions of the polarized beams, thereby obtaining the same type of polarized beams. In the second optical element, a shading plate is placed to prevent light from directly entering a section corresponding to a reflecting plane of a polarizing separation unit array. Since the ability of separating the intermediate beam into two polarized beams is thereby enhanced, it is possible to perform conversion into the same type of polarized beams polarized in the same direction, with high efficiency.

A projection type display apparatus 1 is roughly composed of a polarized light beam illumination device 100, a polarization beam splitter 200, a reflection type liquid crystal device 300, and a projection optical system 500. The polarized light beam illumination device 100 includes a light source unit 110, a first optical element 120 and a second optical element 130, and the light beams emerging from the light source unit 110 are divided into a plurality of intermediate light beams by the first optical element 120 and thereafter converted into polarized light beams having approximately one kind of a polarization direction by the second optical element 130. The polarized light beams are reflected at the polarization beam splitter 200 and modulated by the reflection type liquid crystal device 300 and thereafter projected to a projection surface 600 through the projection optical system 500. According to the projection type display apparatus arranged as described above, the length of a light path is shortened to thereby prevent light loss as well as uneven brightness to a region to be illuminated, by which a projected image having uniform brightness and good quality can be obtained.

In a second lens array, minute lenses arranged on the same column include three different types of minute lenses having optical axes at different positions. Each row of the minute lenses consists of one of the three types of minute lenses.
