- the reflector manufactured by the method of manufacturing the reflector according to the first embodiment and / or the front-type projector that projects a projection image from a side to observe a projected image Illustrates a case where a lighting device having an auxiliary mirror manufactured by the method for manufacturing an auxiliary mirror according to 2 is applied, but the present invention provides a method of projecting from a side opposite to a side on which a projected image is observed. It can also be applied to projectors of the key type.
- a projector using three liquid crystal devices 300 R, 300 G, and 300 B has been described as an example. However, one, two, or four projectors are used.
- the present invention is also applicable to a projector using the above liquid crystal device.
- the illumination device of the present invention is applied to a transmissive projector.
- the present invention can be applied to a reflective projector.
- the “transmissive type” means that the electro-optical modulator as light modulating means is a type that transmits light, such as a transmissive liquid crystal device, and the “reflective type”. This means that an electro-optic modulator as a light modulator, such as a reflection type liquid crystal device, reflects light. Even when the present invention is applied to a reflection type projector, it is possible to obtain substantially the same effect as that of a transmission type projector.
- the liquid crystal devices 300 R, 300 G, and 300 B are used as the electro-optic modulator, but the present invention is not limited to this.
- incident light is used as an electro-optic modulator. Any device may be used as long as it modulates light according to image information, and a micromirror-type light modulation device or the like may be used.
