Abstract

A display device, such as a reflecting type liquid crystal projector, in which dust is prevented from becoming attached to a reflecting type light valve, such as a liquid crystal panel, and an improvement in cooling effect are attained. The device has a structure having a partition wall for forming an enclosed space including at least an incidence/emission optical system of the reflecting type light valve. The reflecting type light valve is provided in the partition wall such that a light incidence/emission surface of the light valve faces into the side of the enclosed space. A part opposite to the light incidence/emission surface of the reflecting type light valve faces outside the enclosed space. In a structure where a cooling arrangement or a thermal conductive partition wall is connected to the part opposite to the light incidence emission surface, the cooling effect is further improved.
