Abstract

The present invention relates to a projection type display apparatus which utilizes a polarizing beam splitter and/or a color separating/combining optical system, each being constituted by an optically transparent material block having a specific characteristic, thereby being capable of securing optically stable performances against influences of various thermal and external stresses and suppressing image quality deterioration to a low level. In particular, in this projection type display apparatus, the polarizing beam splitter used for a polarized light separating optical system and analyzing optical system, and/or an optical member servicing as a color separating/combining optical system are constituted by an optically transparent material block in which a wavelength where the absolute value of a photoelastic constant becomes a minimum level exists in a wavelength range of a blue light component.
