ABSTRACT:
An almost parallel white beam enters a color filter, and is thereby color-separated into primary colors of R, G and B. The color-separated parallel beam enters a PBS after the beam diameter thereof is converted at a magnification of f.sub.2 /f.sub.1 by a relay optical system. The polarizing beam splitter (PBS) allows p-polarized components to transmit therethrough and to enter a liquid crystal display device. Images of filter elements for R, G, and B in the color filter are reduced and formed on corresponding pixel electrodes in the liquid crystal display device, and then, reflected. The p-polarized components that are incident on the liquid crystal display device are modulated according to image signal voltages applied to the pixel electrodes (the polarization direction is changed). Then, s-polarized components generated by this modulation are reflected by the PBS, and projected in an increased size onto a screen through a projection lens.
