A display apparatus displaying an image includes a light source, a light valve, a light cross-section converter and a light scanning mechanism. The light valve has a screen formed of a plurality of pixels. The light cross-section converter converts light emitted from the light source into illumination light having a cross section enough to illuminate at least one pixel at a time. The light scanning mechanism controls a direction of travel of the illumination light in such a way that the illumination light scans the plurality of pixels. The light scanning mechanism controls at least one of sequence, speed, and number of times of scanning where the illumination light scans the plurality of pixels, so that a desired profile of distribution of illuminance is obtained over an entire surface of the screen for a time period not longer than one frame time of an image.

A video-displaying apparatus uses a rod integrator that converts light emitted from a light source into uniform light. The apparatus includes a rod integrator, a holding member, and a flat spring. The rod integrator has a first surface, a second surface that opposes the first surface, a third surface, and a fourth surface that opposes the third surface. The holding member has a first contact surface which abuts the second surface, and a second contact surface which abuts the fourth surface. The first and second contact surfaces have smaller areas than the second and fourth surfaces, respectively. The rod integrator is fixedly mounted to the holding member such that the rod integrator is sandwiched between the holding member and the flat spring mounted to the holding member. Only the projections formed in the spring abut the first and third surfaces.

There is provided an optical device comprising an illuminant for emitting light; light condensing means composed of a reflecting mirror whose shape of reflecting plane is of rotational secondary curved surface and a condenser lens for converging approximately parallel fluxes; a mixing rod whose section is quadrangle, first lens means composed of at least one lens; and a reflecting optical element which is disposed in the vicinity of the position where a plurality of tertiary illuminants are formed and which reflects light in a desired direction. This optical device allows a distribution of illuminance whose intensity is excellently uniformed to be obtained even when a light flux is inputted from a direction inclined from the normal direction of the plane-to-be-illuminated by illuminating the optical device disposed out of an optical axis of the illuminator.

An illumination optical system comprises a light source lamp (1), a light mixing element (3) for mixing light emitted from the light source lamp (1), a DMD element (5) having a plurality of pixels, a transmission optical system (4) for bringing a light-exit surface (3a) of the light mixing element (3) into optical conjugation with a to-be-illuminated surface (5S) of the DMD element (5), and a field lens (6) located in front of the DMD element (5). The focal length of the field lens (6) can be changed so that an illuminance distribution that varies according to the application of the illumination optical system can be achieved on the to-be-illuminated surface (5S).

A UV-absorbing filter absorbs a UV component of incoming light to reduce an amount of the UV component of transmitted light. The UV-absorbing filter comprises a transparent UV-absorbing glass plate which contains a UV-absorbing substance; a transparent first and second heat-resistant glass plates which face respective surfaces of the UV-absorbing glass plate; a first and second distance pieces which are made of heat-resistant resin and which are respectively interposed between the UV-absorbing glass plate and the first and second heat-resistant glass plates, in the vicinity of an outer edge of the UV-absorbing glass plate, so as to form a space between them.

In a light source apparatus for use with a projection type display, at least one light source is provided for emitting light. A reflector is provided correspondingly to the light source in order to gather the light emitted from the light source into a small area to form a converged luminous flux. A light guide has at least one light input section into which the luminous flux is coupled. The light input section is provided correspondingly to the light source. The light guide combines the luminous flux received through the light input sections into a single beam of luminous flux. The light-guide has at least one light output section from which said luminous flux is output. The light source apparatus may also include light-refracting element provided between the reflector and the light-guide. The light-refracting element receives the converged luminous flux from the reflector to refract the converged luminous flux so as to couple the converged luminous flux, as a uniform luminous flux, into the light-guide.

A projection type display apparatus includes a light source, color separator, half-wave plate, a plurality of light valves, color synthesizer, and projection lens. The light source emits a substantially parallel illumination flux. The color separator separates the light emitted from the light source into light of three colors including red, green, and blue. The light of the respective color passes through the corresponding half-wave plate which is placed in the light path of the light and causes the plane of vibration of the light to rotate through a predetermined angle. Then, the light of each color exiting the half-wave plate passe through the corresponding light valve, being modulated into a color image. The color synthesizer synthesizes the color images into a single full-color image and the projection lens enlarges and projects the single full-color image formed.

An illumination apparatus and a projection type display apparatus of lower cost are provided, in which extra-axial aberrations, especially distortion and lateral aberration, are favorably corrected, and the dimensional margin of illumination is suppressed to enhance the utilization factor of light. The illumination apparatus includes a first group of lenses which includes a meniscus lens having a positive refracting power, a second group of lenses which includes first lens means having a negative refracting power and second lens means having a positive refracting power, and lens means whose surface immediately before a surface to-be-illuminated is a plane surface, whereby an illuminating light beam is caused to exit in a telecentric state.

A light-source device comprising: a rod integrator having an injection end and an emitting end; a lens unit for collecting a luminous flux emitted from the emitting end; and, a diaphragm. The rod integrator forms a plurality of imaginary light-source points, each of which virtually emits the luminous flux toward the emitting end. The diaphragm is disposed in the vicinity of a plane on which the lens unit forms the images of the imaginary light-source points, and selectively blocks luminous flux emitted from each of the images of the imaginary light-source points.
