Abstract
In a projector comprising three image forming devices, disposed between a separation optical section and a combination optical section, for processing a red, a green, and a blue light beams, at least one of the three image forming devices comprises a polarization direction converting means, such as a halfwave plate for converting polarization direction for one of the red, the green, and the blue image light beams so that one of a color combining dichroic mirrors has a cutoff wavelength of spectral characteristic which shifts toward outside for one of the red, the green, and the blue central wavelengths from that of one of a color separating dichroic mirrors. The halfwave plate may be disposed in a light-leaving side of at least one of the three image forming devices.
