    Abstract: A polarizing conversion device in accordance with the invention includes a first optical element for condensing an incident beam and forming a plurality of intermediate beams spatially separated from one another, and a second optical element for spatially separating each intermediate beam into two polarized beams and aligning the polarization directions of the polarized beams, thereby obtaining the same type of polarized beams. In the second optical element, a shading plate is placed to prevent light from directly entering a section corresponding to a reflecting plane of a polarizing separation unit array. Since the ability of separating the intermediate beam into two polarized beams is thereby enhanced, it is possible to perform conversion into the same type of polarized beams polarized in the same direction, with high efficiency.

    Abstract: A projection type display apparatus 1 is roughly composed of a polarized light beam illumination device 100, a polarization beam splitter 200, a reflection type liquid crystal device 300, and a projection optical system 500. The polarized light beam illumination device 100 includes a light source unit 110, a first optical element 120 and a second optical element 130, and the light beams emerging from the light source unit 110 are divided into a plurality of intermediate light beams by the first optical element 120 and thereafter converted into polarized light beams having approximately one kind of a polarization direction by the second optical element 130. The polarized light beams are reflected at the polarization beam splitter 200 and modulated by the reflection type liquid crystal device 300 and thereafter projected to a projection surface 600 through the projection optical system 500. According to the projection type display apparatus arranged as described above, the length of a light path is shortened to thereby prevent light loss as well as uneven brightness to a region to be illuminated, by which a projected image having uniform brightness and good quality can be obtained.

    Abstract: A projector which is small in size and excellent in light utilization efficiency while keeping the advantage of a spatially-pixel-arrangement type is provided. The luminous flux emitted from a light source is separated by a color separation system into a plurality of kinds of colors of light different in exit direction. These separated colors of light are modulated by a light valve, to form first optical images. The light valve has a plurality of sub-pixels provided corresponding to the colors of light and micro-lenses to focus the colors of light corresponding to the sub-pixels. The sub-pixels are structured in a size nearly equal to a size of a color of light to be focused on the relevant sub-pixel by micro-lenses. Accordingly, the first optical image is in a form non-analogous with the actual projection image. The first optical images are converted into second optical images having a desired aspect ratio by an anamorphic projection system, and then projected.

    Abstract: A cold head is disposed in an insulating container and cooled by a refrigerator. A superconductor is disposed in the insulating container, contacting the cold head, and is cooled to its superconduction transition temperature or lower by heat conduction. A magnetizing coil is disposed outside the insulating container for applying a magnetic field to the superconductor. Control is performed so that a magnetic field determined considering the magnetic field to be captured by the superconductor is applied. A pulsed magnetic field is applied to the superconductor a plurality of times. Each pulsed magnetic field is applied when the temperature of the superconductor is a predetermined temperature or lower. A maximum pulsed magnetic field is applied at least once in an initial or intermediate stage of the repeated application of pulsed magnetic fields. After that, a pulsed magnetic field equal to or less than the maximum pulsed magnetic field is applied. Pulsed magnetic fields are repeatedly applied while the temperature of the superconductor is lowered. A pulsed magnetic field is applied when the temperature T0 of a central portion of the superconductor is the superconduction transition temperature or lower and the temperature of a peripheral portion is higher than T0. The temperature of the entire superconductor is brought close to T0 to apply another pulsed magnetic field. The magnetizing coil faces at least one of two opposite sides of the superconductor to apply pulsed magnetic fields to the superconductor in its magnetization direction.
