Abstract
A color combining optical system according to this invention aims at reducing the size of an optical system and suppressing the occurrence of color unevenness. According to this invention, there is provided a color combining optical system for combining color light reflected by a dichroic film and color light transmitted through the dichroic film. The optical thickness of the dichroic film increases or decreases from one end side to the other end side in the inclining direction of the dichroic film with respect to the incident optical axis of the color light reflected by the dichroic film.
