Abstract

A light source device includes: blue, green, and red laser light sources; a first retardation plate that controls polarization of blue laser light emitted from the blue laser light source; a polarizing beam splitter that separates the blue laser light whose polarization is controlled by the first retardation plate into a first blue laser light and a second laser light; a second retardation plate that controls polarization of the second blue laser light separated by the polarizing beam splitter; a fluorescent plate that is excited by the first blue laser light separated by the polarizing beam splitter and emits fluorescent light including a green component and a red component; a first dichroic mirror that combines the second blue laser light whose polarization is controlled by the second retardation plate and light emitted from the green and red laser light sources, to generate combined laser light; a dynamic diffuser plate that diffuses the combined laser light combined by the first dichroic mirror to generate diffused laser light; and a second dichroic mirror that combines the diffused laser light diffused by the dynamic diffuser plate and the fluorescent light emitted from the fluorescent plate.
