Abstract

In a projection-type display apparatus, a polarization converter, a light-incident-side polarizer, a first liquid crystal device, a first light-exiting-side polarizer, and a retardation film are arranged along the optical path from a light source section to a projection system. The light-incident-side polarizer is a wire grid polarizer including a wire grid integrally provided on the light exiting surface of the polarization converter, and the light-incident-side polarizer and the polarization converter form a single optical part. The first light-exiting-side polarizer is a wire grid polarizer including a wire grid integrally provided on the light exiting surface of the first liquid crystal device, and the first light-exiting-side polarizer and the first liquid crystal device form a single optical part.
