    摘要: A light-source device includes an excitation light source; a wavelength conversion unit to convert at least some of first color light into second color light; a light mixing element including a rod integrator to mix at least one of the first color light and the second color light from the conversion unit; and an optical element on an optical path of the first color light and having a reflecting surface. A center of the first color light on the reflecting surface intersects with only one of a first light flux of the first color light incident on and a second light flux of the first color light emitted from the conversion unit. An angle formed by a projection straight line of the first color light incident on an incident aperture of the integrator and a predetermined axial line of the incident aperture of the integrator is smaller than 40°.

    摘要: A light source device includes: multiple light source units each including a light source to emit a first color light beam, each of the multiple light source units configured to: convert at least part of the first color light beam into a second color light beam emitted from an emitting region; and emit the second color light beam to form a conjugate image; and a light combiner to combine the conjugate images formed by the multiple light source units to form a combined image, in which the conjugate images partially overlap each other, on a plane of an entrance surface of a light uniformizing element along a central axis of the light uniformizing element. A conditional expression below is satisfied: 1.3>SC/SI>0.7 where SC is an area of the combined image, and SI is an area of the entrance surface of the light uniformizing element.
