    Abstract: The light source device and the projection display apparatus include a solid-state light source unit, a dichroic mirror, a fluorescent plate, a first wave plate, and a multi-reflection mirror. The solid-state light source unit emits first and second linearly polarized light rays at a predetermined ratio, the first and the second linearly polarized light rays being orthogonal to each other. The dichroic mirror separates the first and the second linearly polarized light rays, and combines blue light with yellow light. The fluorescent plate emits the yellow light to the dichroic mirror when the fluorescent plate is excited by the first linearly polarized light ray separated by the dichroic mirror. The first wave plate converts the second linearly polarized light ray separated by the dichroic mirror, into circularly polarized light. The multi-reflection mirror reflects the circularly polarized light to the dichroic mirror as the blue light.

    Abstract: A light source device has a blue solid-state light source, a red solid-state light source, a first retardation plate, a dichroic mirror, a phosphor plate, a second retardation plate, and a reflector. The first retardation plate causes light from the blue solid-state light source to have a phase difference. The dichroic mirror provides the light from the blue solid-state light source with polarization separation, receiving the light from the blue solid-state light source and light from the red solid-state light source in an identical direction. The phosphor plate emits fluorescence light, excited by one light, separated by the dichroic mirror. The second retardation plate converts, into circular polarization, polarization of the light from the red solid-state light source and other light, separated by the dichroic mirror. The reflector reflects light converted into circular polarization by being passed through the second retardation plate.
