らを発生させるからである。A first problem is that uneven illuminance occurs on a screen in the prior art. The reason is that, when the temperature fluctuation of the liquid crystal panel surface occurs due to the fluctuation of the amount of cooling air, the transmittance of the liquid crystal panel changes according to the temperature fluctuation, which causes uneven illuminance on the screen.

2. Description of the Related Art In a liquid crystal projector including a fan for cooling a liquid crystal panel, a film for averaging the temperature is formed on a surface of the liquid crystal panel where cooling air is applied. This film is a transparent material that does not disturb the polarization, and for example, an optically isotropic film is suitable.

ぎは低減する。If such a film is adhered to the surface of the air blow side of the liquid crystal panel, even if the temperature fluctuates due to the fluctuation of the cooling air on the film surface, heat is diffused before reaching the liquid crystal panel surface through the film. Fluctuations are reduced.

1, a liquid crystal panel 7 having a second polarizing plate 52, a projection optical system, a liquid crystal panel 7, and a cooling fan 1.
In the liquid crystal projector composed of 1, a heat diffusion film 6 having optical isotropy is attached to the incident light side surface of the liquid crystal panel 7, that is, the ventilation side surface.

きる。The light 9 generated from the lamp 2 is first changed in direction by a lens 31 and becomes parallel light. Next, the parallel light enters the polarizing plate 51 supported by the glass 4, and the polarized light enters the liquid crystal panel 7 through the heat diffusion film 6 (for example, a retardation film). The light image-modulated by the liquid crystal panel 7 is transmitted through the second polarizing plate 52, and then a few lenses 3
2 is projected on a screen 8. The liquid crystal panel 7 with the heat diffusion film 6 is provided with a fan 11, and the cooling air 10 generated by the fan 11 is applied to the heat diffusion film 6 to indirectly cool the liquid crystal panel 7. Generally, the amount of the cooling air 10 fluctuates, so that a portion of the surface of the heat diffusion film 6 where the temperature is locally high remains. FIG. 2 illustrates this. Referring to FIG. 2, the heat of the locally high temperature portion 13 on the surface of the heat diffusion film is transmitted while diffusing inside the film 6 (hatched portion in FIG. 2), and the liquid crystal panel 7 is reached. Therefore, the temperature on the surface of the liquid crystal panel 7 can be reduced more than the temperature fluctuation on the surface of the film 6.

する。Also in the present embodiment, even if the cooling air 10 fluctuates and the temperature fluctuation on the surface of the heat diffusion film occurs, the temperature fluctuation on the surface of the liquid crystal panel 7 is reduced by the heat diffusion film.

ことによって温度ゆらぎが軽減するからでる。The first effect is that the temperature fluctuation on the liquid crystal panel surface is reduced. This makes it possible to suppress illuminance unevenness on the screen. The reason is that even if the temperature of the heat diffusion film surface optically fluctuates due to the fluctuation of the cooling air, the temperature fluctuation is reduced by the heat diffusion in the film on the liquid crystal panel surface.
