Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal projector comprising: a light source for irradiating white light; means for separating the white light into beams of a plurality of colors; a liquid crystal panel having a plurality of pixels; means for polarizing the beams of the plurality of colors disposed before an incident side of the liquid crystal panel, wherein the means for polarizing comprises a plurality of units and each of the units corresponds to the respective pixels of the liquid crystal panel; optical means for converting the beams of the plurality of the colors into parallel beams and for introducing the beams of the plurality of colors, for the respective colors individually, to each of the pixels of the liquid crystal panel through the respective units of the means for polarizing; means for projecting beams of the plurality of colors that have been modulated by the liquid crystal panel; and a light absorption layer provided between adjacent ones of the plurality of units, wherein each of the units comprises first and second polarizing beam splitters and one half-wave plate.
