Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain a color synthesis and a color separation with the arbitrary combinations of colors by providing light-transmissive type light valves adjacent to the three among the four outer sides of a cube prism having four rectabgular prisms. CONSTITUTION:A white light emitted from a light source 40 is collimated by a condenser lens 41, made incidect on the first cub prism 42, and separated into three colors of red, blue, and green. These decomposed beams of color light are deflected by a mirror 43 and made incident on a light-transmissive type light valves 44. The light valves are arranged on such a position where an image is formed by a projection lens 46, and all three of them 44 have such light-transmissivity corresponding respectively to each image of red, blue, and green light. The color light beams are synthesized by a second cube prism 45 by additive mixture so that a display image is synthesized on the screen, and are projected by the projection lens 46.
