The red light R reflected by the first dichroic mirror 1 is sent to a first total reflection mirror 5, where it is reflected, and then reflected by a red condensing lens 10R, an incident side polarizing plate 8R, and a liquid crystal cell. The light is sent to the third dichroic mirror 3 through the 7R and the exit-side polarizing plate 9R. On the other hand, the second dichroic mirror 2 transmits only the green light G, and of the green light G and the blue light B transmitted through the first dichroic mirror 1, the green light transmitted through the second dichroic mirror G is sent to the second total reflection mirror 6 through the condensing lens 10G for green, the incident side polarizing plate 8G, the liquid crystal cell 7G, and the emitting side polarizing plate 9G. The blue light B reflected by the second dichroic mirror 2 passes through the blue condensing lens 10B, the incident side polarizing plate 8B, the liquid crystal cell 7B and the emitting side polarizing plate 9B, and passes through the third dichroic mirror 3 Sent to. The third dichroic mirror 3 transmits only the red light R. The third dichroic mirror 3 transmits the red condensing lens 10R, the incident side polarizing plate 8R, the liquid crystal cell 7R, and the emission side polarizing plate 9R from the first total reflection mirror 5 to the red. The red light R having passed therethrough passes through the third dichroic mirror 3 as it is, and passes from the second dichroic mirror 2 to the blue condensing lens 10B and the incident side polarizing plate 8

The fourth dichroic mirror 4 transmits only the red light R and the blue light B. The red light R and the blue light B from the third dichroic mirror 3 transmit the light as it is, and the second total reflection. The green light G from the mirror 6 is reflected here and sent to the magnifying projection lens 16 respectively.

When the above-described dichroic dyes are adsorbed and oriented on the polyvinyl alcohol-based film, any one of the dichroic dyes may be used, or two or more dichroic dyes may be used in combination.

In order to cause such a dichroic dye to be adsorbed and oriented on a polyvinyl alcohol-based film, for example, a method of stretching a polyvinyl alcohol-based film and immersing it in an aqueous solution of a dichroic dye can be employed. The aqueous solution used for dyeing is usually a solution in which a dichroic dye is dissolved in an amount of about 0.0001 to 1 part by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of water. A dyeing aid may be added to this aqueous solution. For example, when using Glauber's salt as a dyeing aid, the amount used is about 0.1 to 10 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of water. The temperature of this aqueous solution is, for example, 50 to 75.
C., and more preferably about 60 to 75.degree. If the dyeing temperature is too high, the film dissolves, and there is an upper limit temperature at which continuous processing is possible. The dyeing time is, for example, 5 to 300
Seconds are appropriate.

The polyvinyl alcohol-based film is preferably subjected to a dipping treatment in warm water before the above-mentioned dyeing treatment. When such a hot water treatment is adopted, the treatment temperature is about 40 to 65 ° C., and the treatment time is 10 to 3 hours.
About 00 seconds is appropriate.

The stretching of the polyvinyl alcohol-based film may be performed before the immersion treatment of the dichroic dye in the aqueous solution, may be performed during the immersion treatment, or may be performed after the immersion treatment. Stretching is usually performed by uniaxial stretching. The method of uniaxial stretching is not particularly limited, and may be any of wet stretching and dry stretching. Stretching ratio is usually 4 times or more,
Preferably it is 8 times or less. In order to uniaxially stretch a polyvinyl alcohol-based film in a dry manner, in the same manner as usual, for example, a method in which a rearward tension is applied to the film and the film is brought into contact with a driving heating roll to orientate the film uniaxially in a longitudinal direction. A method of passing and compressing and stretching is used. The temperature of the heating roll is equal to or higher than the glass transition temperature of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin, and is generally equal to or lower than 160 ° C.,
Preferably it is about 80 to 130 ° C.

The polyvinyl alcohol-based film on which the dichroic dye is adsorbed and oriented as described above is usually subjected to a boric acid treatment. The boric acid treatment is performed by immersing the film in a boric acid-containing aqueous solution, and the boric acid concentration in the aqueous solution is not particularly limited.
An aqueous solution in which boric acid is dissolved in an amount of about 2 to 15 parts by weight, preferably about 5 to 12 parts by weight, per 00 parts by weight is used. The temperature of the boric acid-containing aqueous solution is usually from 60 to
It is about 85 ° C, preferably about 65 to 80 ° C. Although the processing time is not particularly limited, it is usually 100 to 1,200.
Seconds, preferably about 150 to 600 seconds. After the boric acid treatment, by washing and drying as usual, a polarizing film having a dichroic dye adsorbed and oriented can be obtained.

Usually, this polarizing film is laminated with a protective plate on one or both sides to form a polarizing plate. As the protective plate, the same as those used for ordinary polarizing films,
For example, a cellulose acetate film, an acrylic film, a polyester film, a cyclic polyolefin film having a norbornene structure, a polyolefin film, a polycarbonate film, a polyarylate film, a polyethersulfone film, or the like can be used. . Examples of the cellulose acetate-based film include a triacetyl cellulose film and a diacetyl cellulose film. The thickness of the protective plate is not particularly limited, but is usually about 40 to 200 μm. These protective plates may contain an ultraviolet absorber or the like, and commercially available products can be used as such protective plates. Examples of commercially available protective plates include, for example, "Konica KC80UVSF" and "Konica KC80UVN" (all manufactured by Konica Corporation), which are triacetyl cellulose films.

Various optical functional treatments may be applied to the surface of the polarizing plate, and for example, an antireflection treatment can be applied. The antireflection treatment is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a method of forming an antireflection layer by laminating two or more layers made of a substance selected from inorganic substances and organic substances such as metals and metal oxides on the surface. Can be Examples of the metal used in this case include silver.
As the metal oxide, for example, titanium oxide, silicon oxide,
Examples include indium oxide, aluminum oxide, cesium oxide, tin oxide, zirconium oxide, yttrium oxide, and tantalum oxide. Examples of the inorganic substance other than these metals and metal oxides include magnesium fluoride. Examples of the organic substance include a fluorine-based resin. Examples of a method for laminating these substances include a vapor deposition, a sputtering, an ion plating method and the like, and a coating method such as a roll coating method, a gravure coating method and a spray coating method. Further, in order to increase the adhesion between the antireflection layer and the protective plate, it is preferable that the surface of the protective plate is subjected to a hard coat treatment, a corona treatment, a chemical cleaning or the like. Such an antireflection treatment may be performed on one surface of the polarizing plate, or may be performed on both surfaces.

The polarizing film of the present invention or the polarizing plate having a protective plate bonded thereto can be used for a liquid crystal display device. Specifically, the polarizing film is disposed on at least one surface of a liquid crystal cell, and Display device. More specifically, for example, it can be applied to one or more of the liquid crystal cells corresponding to each of the three primary colors constituting the liquid crystal projector, and can be arranged on at least one surface side. Above all, of the three liquid crystal panels constituting the liquid crystal projector, the polarizing plate of the liquid crystal panel corresponding to the blue light having high light energy, that is, the incident side polarized light adjacent to the liquid crystal cell 7B for blue light shown in FIG. Although it is effective to use it for the plate 8B and the emission-side polarizing plate 9B, it is needless to say that it can be used for a liquid crystal panel corresponding to green light or red light.

In order to arrange the polarizing plate on both sides or one side of the liquid crystal cell, the polarizing plate may be bonded to the liquid crystal cell using a transparent adhesive. In this case, the polarizing plate is bonded via another optical element. May be combined. Further, in order to avoid the influence of heat generated from the polarizing film, it is preferable to arrange the liquid crystal cell at an interval. In the case of disposing at an interval from the liquid crystal cell as described above, the incident-side polarizing plates 8R, 8G, 8B shown in FIG.
And the exit side polarizing plates 9R, 9G, 9B, for example, and the above-mentioned polarizing film or polarizing plate is bonded to a non-reflection-treated surface of glass that has been subjected to non-reflection treatment on one side. For example, an appropriate mode is selected.
