Abstract

A mirror comprises a transparent glass substrate and a dielectric multilayer film laminated on one surface (entrance surface) of the glass substrate. The dielectric multilayer film is formed by layers made of a high refractive index material and layers made of a low refractive index material which are alternately laminated, and is applied to a projection type display apparatus. The material and thickness of each layer are set so as to yield a polarization characteristic for causing reflected light to approach linearly polarized light.
