Abstract
The present invention provides a projection image display technology capable of correcting astigmatism due to use of a polarized-beam splitter, thus ensuring high-resolution projection images. A wire-grid polarized-beam splitter (or the like) of a flat-plate-like structure is used as a polarized-beam splitter, and an astigmatism correction element, such as a cylindrical lens, is provided between the polarized-beam splitter and a projection lens unit.
