Abstract:
1. A light emitting element including an active layer for generating light, the light emitting element comprising: a first reflection layer that allows the light generated at said active layer to reflect at a reflection section in which reflection members are periodically provided, and to exit from an exiting section between the reflection members; a polarization beam splitter layer that transmits a polarized light oriented in a first direction and diffracts a polarized light oriented in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction among the light exited from said exiting section; a wave plate layer that allows the light transmitted through said polarization beam splitter layer and the light diffracted at said polarization beam splitter layer to enter, and to exit as light having a same polarization state; and a second reflection layer that reflects the light reflected at said first reflection layer.
