Abstract
A light diffuser containing light diffusing elements is arranged in the most appropriate position between a spatial light modulator and an illumination optical system. Thereby, particles as light diffusing elements diffuse rays of light emitted from a laser light source. Accordingly, indefinite numbers of speckle pattern are formed so that, for example, a speckle noise which occurs on an image projected to a screen is reduced. As a result, loss of light amount after light diffusion is suppressed to small amount, and thereby a laser image display apparatus capable of displaying a bright and high-quality image having no luminosity irregularity is provided.
