Abstract

A dichroic prism according to the present invention comprises first to fourth right angle prisms and respectively having first side faces and , and second side faces and , the side faces being arranged perpendicular to each other. A second bonded face and a fourth bonded face , each having a dichroic film for a second color light, are arranged on the same plane. The first bonded face and a third bonded face , each having the dichroic film for a first color light, are deviated by a predetermined distance. The distance of this deviation is adjusted so that an image formed by the light having reference image information corresponds to the image of the reference image information. The light is made incident on and reflected by the first bonded face and the third bonded face. Therefore, an appropriate image quality can be obtained without depending on a right angle precision.
