Abstract

An illumination system and a projection device having good uniformity are provided. The illumination system includes at least one light source, a depolarizing element, and a light homogenizing element. The at least one light source is configured to provide multiple beams. The depolarizing element is disposed on a transmission path of the beams. The depolarizing element includes a first optical element, which is wedge-shaped and has a first optical axis. A direction of any one of the beams incident onto the first optical element is parallel to the first optical axis. The beams respectively become multiple linearly polarized beams with different polarization directions after passing through the first optical element. The light homogenizing element is configured to allow the linearly polarized beams to pass through to form an illumination beam. The depolarizing element is located between the at least one light source and the light homogenizing element.
