    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.

    摘要: A light source device includes a light source, a plurality of wavelength conversion units, and a plurality of optical systems. The plurality of wavelength conversion units each includes a wavelength conversion region configured to receive light emitted from the light source and emit light with a wavelength different from a wavelength of the received light. The plurality of optical systems are configured to form images of wavelength conversion regions of the plurality of wavelength conversion units. The light source is configured to irradiate the wavelength conversion units with light at a same timing. The plurality of optical systems are configured to cause the images of the wavelength conversion regions of the plurality of wavelength conversion units to be adjacent to or superimposed on each other.

    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, an image projection apparatus, and a display device. The light-source device includes a light source to emit light, an optical element having a lens array on one side or both sides of which a plurality of lenses are arrayed with distance from each other, the distance between a pair of vertices of an adjacent pair of the plurality of lenses of the optical element being equal to or less than one-quarter of width of light flux of the light incident on the optical element and a wavelength conversion element to convert a wavelength of the light emitted from the light source and passed through the optical element. An image projection apparatus includes the light-source device, a light mixing element to mix the light emitted from the light-source device to uniformize the light and an illumination optical system to emit the light uniformized by the light mixing element.

    摘要: A light-source device includes an excitation light source to emit first color light; an optical member having a reflecting surface to reflect the first color light; a wavelength conversion unit including a wavelength conversion member on which the first color light reflected by the optical member is incident, the wavelength conversion member to convert at least part of the first color light into second color light having a wavelength different from a wavelength of the first color light and emit the second color light; and a light condensing element to condense the first color light emitted from the wavelength conversion unit. A straight line including a first optical path from a center of a flux of light rays emitted from the excitation light source, to the center of the first color light on the reflecting surface does not intersect with a light flux condensed by the light condensing element.
