Next, a projection-type display device will be described with reference to FIG. 16 as an example of an electronic apparatus according to this exemplary embodiment, to which the liquid crystal device is applied. FIG. 16 is a schematic view illustrating a configuration of the projection-type display device as an electronic apparatus according to the third exemplary embodiment.
As illustrated in FIG. 16, the projection-type display device 1000 as an electronic apparatus according to this exemplary embodiment includes a polarized light illumination device 1100 disposed along a system optical axis Ls, two dichroic mirrors 1104 and 1105 as light separation elements, three reflection mirrors 1106, 1107, and 1108, five relay lenses 1201, 1202, 1203, 1204, and 1205, three transmission-type liquid crystal light valves 1210, 1220, and 1230 as light modulation units, across dichroic prism 1206 as a light synthesizing element, and a projection lens 1207.
The polarized light illumination device 1100 schematically includes a lamp unit 1101 as a light source including a white light source such as an extra-high pressure mercury lamp or a halogen lamp, an integrator lens 1102, and a polarization conversion element 1103.
The dichroic mirror 1104 reflects red light (R) of a polarized light flux emitted from the polarized light illumination device 1100 and transmits green light (G) and blue light (B). The other dichroic mirror 1105 reflects the green light (G) transmitted by the dichroic mirror 1104 and transmits the blue light (B).
