    摘要: The present invention relates to an optical modulation device that maintains good contrast despite changes in temperature and is capable of performing stable display. A polarizer, a first and second modulator and an analyzer are provided. Each modulator is a chiral smectic liquid crystal layer held between two opposite substrates which have different orientation determining abilities. The chiral smectic liquid crystal layers have at least two stable alignment states and substantially the same temperature dependency and tilt angle. The molecular axis of the first modulator at one of the two stable alignment states is substantially parallel to a transmitting modulation axis of said polarizer and is substantially perpendicular to a transmitting polarizing axis of said analyzer, and a molecular axis at one of the two stable alignment states of said second modulator is substantially parallel to a transmitting polarization axis of said analyzer.

    摘要: A polarization conversion unit is disclosed. In the unit, a definitely polarized light emitted from a light source is divided into a pair of lights differing in polarized state and are caused to be incident on the optical components including the polarizing beam splitter. The plane of polarization of one of the paired polarized light is rotated to be coincident with the plane of polarization of the other light by the optical components, so that the paired lights with the same plane of polarization are caused to be separately emitted. The optical component has a plano-convex lens which has a positive power and which is arranged at an exit side where the paired lights are separately emitted. The lens has a focal point at a position further than the position of the surface to be illuminated.
