Abstract
A light source device with high use efficiency is provided. By using a laser light source of a single polarization, uniformization of light quantity and uniformization of polarization are simultaneously realized, in a two-dimensional planar illumination utilizing reflection and collimating. Thus, it is possible to realize the two-dimensional planar illumination with polarization aligned, and therefore the use efficiency of light can be significantly improved, when combined with switching utilizing the polarization of a liquid crystal panel, etc.
