Abstract

A mirror Fresnel lens (12) is disposed on a base (11), on which a liquid crystal display (18) is mounted. The liquid crystal display (18) is provided with a polarization plate (24) only in the mirror Fresnel lens (12) side. Light from a light source (15) passes through the liquid crystal display (18), is reflected by the mirror Fresnel lens (12), again passes through the liquid crystal display (18), is converged by a projection lens 16 and reflected by the mirror (17) and eventually arrives at a screen (20). A separated polarization plate (25) is provided in a manner to overlap with the projection lens 16. The separated polarization plate (25) is paired with the polarization plate (24).
