Abstract

In a projection display device having an illumination optical system which converts the light emitted from a point light source into a substantially parallel luminous flux, a light valve which modulates the light flux, and an optical projection system which projects images on the light valve onto a screen, the illumination optical system converts the light into a substantially parallel luminous flux having a cross section of substantially the same size and shape, e.g., rectangular shape, as the shape of the frame of the light valve.
