Abstract

Light emitted from a single light source is split into beams of bidirectional parallel light which are orthogonal to each other. Beams of the parallel light in each direction are reflected by a reflection optical system in such a direction that they become orthogonal to each other. A dichroic mirror is disposed at a point of intersection thereof and liquid crystal panels are provided between each individual reflection optical system and the dichroic mirror resulting in a low cost device which can be structurally miniaturized and which requires less process steps in fabrication.
