Abstract

A light source apparatus includes a light source section that outputs first light, a first polarization separator that separates the first light in terms of polarization, a second polarization separator that reflects in the second direction a portion of the first light polarized in the first polarization direction and transmits the other portion of the first light polarized in the first polarization direction, a diffusion element that diffuses the first light incident from the first polarization separator, a first wavelength converter that converts in terms of wavelength the portion of the first light incident from the second polarization separator and emits second light, and a second wavelength converter that converts in terms of wavelength the other portion of the first light incident from the second polarization separator and emits third light.
