By making the beam polarization state in a cross prism having a dichroic function for an incident beam on a reflection type liquid crystal panel the same as that for a reflected ON beam, a small-sized, low cost projection type projector apparatus is provided. A Faraday rotator having a Faraday rotation angle of 45 degrees is disposed on an optical path between a PBS and a cross prism. A half-wave plate having such a polarization axis as to rotate a polarization angle of linearly polarized light by 45 or 135 degrees is disposed on an optical immediately before or behind the Faraday rotator.

A projection apparatus includes a polarizing converter which converts a light beam from a light source to a polarized beam; a color separator which separates the polarized beam into color beams based on wavelength; first through third optical path modifiers each of which modifies an optical path associated with a corresponding one of the color beams; first through third polarized light separators, each of which receives a corresponding one of the first through third color beams from the optical path modifiers; first through third reflective image display elements, each of which receives a corresponding one of the first through third color beams from the corresponding polarized light separator and provides a reflected beam to the corresponding polarized light separator; a color combiner which combines the reflected beams from the reflective image display elements of the polarized light separator; and a projection lens which projects a color image.

In an illumination optical system and a color combining optical system of a projection apparatus using three image display elements, the object of the present invention is to reduce misconvergence of enlarged images displayed on a screen. The present invention provides a projection apparatus including light-detecting elements provided outside of an effective screen display area. An active region of image display elements for each color beam is controlled respectively based on results of the light-detecting elements in order to adjust display position of each color beam on the screen.

An image display technique which projects R, G, and B light rays on a display device to form an image with an increased utilization ratio of light and an increased screen brightness. R, G, and B light rays as a result of color separation are reflected by plural reflective surfaces on the inner side, etc. of a rotary polyhedral reflector, so that, as the reflector rotates around a central axis and its reflection plane sequentially changes from one reflective surface to a next one, the reflected light rays are projected on a display device surface in different positions and scroll in a prescribed direction.

A technique is provided that improves the usage ratio of light in the illumination optical system of an image display apparatus, in which the cross-sectional size or shape of the flux of light that has formed a light source image of an LED-based light-emitting section is converted by anamorphic optics, such as collimator lens, into a size or shape appropriate for an aperture in the portion that permits the flux of the light source image to pass through, in an optical system leading to an image display element(s), and thus the quantity of fluxes of light passed through the aperture is increased.
