Abstract
A color splitting/combining prism splits apart illumination light from a projector and combines together projection light from the projector. A part of the illumination light that is not used as the projection light passes through the color splitting/combining prism as OFF-light via an image display element in a direction different from the projection light. The color splitting/combining prism includes a dichroic film of which a cutoff wavelength, at which the dichroic film exhibits a transmittance of 50% when splitting two different colors between reflection and transmission, is provided in a wavelength range in which wavelength separation is possible for all of the illumination light, the projection light, and the OFF-light that are incident at different incidence angles respectively.
