Abstract
An optical module includes a light modulator that modulates light and includes a plurality of pixels, and a pixel shift mechanism. The pixels of the light modulator each include a first sub-pixel on which a first color light flux is incident, a second sub-pixel on which a second color light flux is incident, a third sub-pixel on which a third color light flux is incident, and a fourth sub-pixel on which one of the first color light flux, the second color light flux, and third color light flux is incident. The pixel shift mechanism includes a first state, a second state, and a third state. The first color light flux is incident on the fourth sub-pixel in the first state. The second color light flux is incident on the fourth sub-pixel in the second state. The third color light flux is incident on the fourth sub-pixel in the third state.
