FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the structure of a dichroic prism according to the present invention. 2 which sandwiches the right angle of the first right angle prism 1
A first wavelength selective reflection layer 5 and a second wavelength selective reflection layer 6 are formed on each of the two surfaces by vapor deposition or sputtering. The wavelength selective reflection layer is formed of a dielectric multilayer film, and the wavelength selective reflection layer characteristics are obtained by alternately laminating several tens of TiO 2 and SiO 2 thin films. The same applies to MgF 2 and Z R O. FIG. 2 shows an example of the wavelength selective reflection characteristics. The dotted line shows the characteristic of the first wavelength selective reflection layer 5, and the solid line shows the characteristic of the second wavelength selective reflection layer 6. The first wavelength selective reflection layer 5 reflects red light at a position where the transmittance is 50% is approximately 590 [nm]. The second wavelength selective reflection layer 6 has a transmittance
The 50% position reflects blue light at around 500 [nm]. The remaining green light (generally between 500 [nm] and 590 [nm]) is transmitted, and is used for color separation into the three primary colors and color synthesis. Incidentally, the wavelength selection characteristics can be subjected to various color separation and color combination by changing the setting at the time of vapor deposition.

These four rectangular prisms are bonded together in the direction shown in FIG. 1 so that the wavelength selective reflection layers are orthogonal to each other. For bonding, an epoxy-based thermosetting or UV-curing type optical adhesive or the like is used to optically bond. The refractive index of the optical adhesive may be the same as that of the prism, but since the refractive index is not the same, the dichroic prism configured as shown in FIG. 5 reflects without passing through the adhesive layer. There is light that is emitted and light that is reflected after passing through the adhesive layer, which causes a color difference. In addition, since the optical path lengths are different, in a projection optical system using a lens, a focus shift or the like occurs. However, with the configuration shown in FIG. 1, any incident light is either reflected without passing through the adhesive layer or reflected after passing through the adhesive layer. Therefore, the above-mentioned problems do not occur at all. In addition, bright coatings with high transmittance can be created by applying AR coating to the slopes at right angles.
