Description

一方、射出側に設けた第2偏光板25hは、入出射面の法線がそれぞれシステム光軸SA、すなわちZ軸に平行になっている。第2偏光板25hは、これに組み込んだ樹脂製その他の偏光素子によってY方向に沿った第2偏光方向のS偏光のみを通過させ、P偏光(非変調光)を吸収等により排除する。つまり、第2偏光板25hの偏光軸又は透過軸はY方向に延びており、偏光板25hの吸収軸はX方向に延びている。
On the other hand, in the second polarizing plate 25h provided on the exit side, the normal lines of the entrance and exit surfaces are respectively parallel to the system optical axis SA, that is, the Z axis. The second polarizing plate 25h allows only S-polarized light in the second polarization direction along the Y direction to pass through by other resin-made polarizing elements incorporated therein, and excludes P-polarized light (unmodulated light) by absorption or the like. That is, the polarization axis or transmission axis of the second polarizing plate 25h extends in the Y direction, and the absorption axis of the polarizing plate 25h extends in the X direction.

入射側防塵板74aは、これを形成する水晶の光学軸がY軸方向に延びるように切り出されたものである。つまり、入射側防塵板74aの光学軸は、偏光板25eの吸収軸に対して平行な状態になっている。また、水晶製の入射側防塵板74aの熱伝導率は、5W/mK以上となっており、石英ガラス等に比較して高い値となっている。このように、入射側防塵板74aを水晶板とすることで、液晶パネル26aの冷却効果を高めることができる。そのため、液晶パネル26aに高輝度の照明光を入射させる場合であっても、液晶パネル26aの温度上昇を抑えることができ、液晶パネル26aの変調特性を高精度に維持することができる。さらに、第1偏光板25eの吸収軸の方向と、水晶製の入射側防塵板74aの光学軸の方向とが平行であるので、システム光軸SAに平行な状態で入射する光束だけでなく、システム光軸SAに対して傾斜した状態で入射する光束も、第1偏光板25eや入射側防塵板74aの通過に際して入射側防塵板74a等で複屈折作用を受けにくくなると考えられ、入射側防塵板74aに起因するコントラスト低下や視野角特性の劣化を防止できる。
The incident-side dustproof plate 74a is cut out so that the optical axis of the crystal forming the plate extends in the Y-axis direction. That is, the optical axis of the incident-side dustproof plate 74a is parallel to the absorption axis of the polarizing plate 25e. Moreover, the thermal conductivity of the incident-side dustproof plate 74a made of quartz is 5 W / mK or higher, which is a higher value than quartz glass or the like. Thus, the cooling effect of the liquid crystal panel 26a can be enhanced by using the incident-side dustproof plate 74a as a quartz plate. Therefore, even when high-intensity illumination light is incident on the liquid crystal panel 26a, the temperature rise of the liquid crystal panel 26a can be suppressed, and the modulation characteristics of the liquid crystal panel 26a can be maintained with high accuracy. Further, since the direction of the absorption axis of the first polarizing plate 25e and the direction of the optical axis of the incident-side dustproof plate 74a made of quartz are parallel, not only the light beam incident in a state parallel to the system optical axis SA, It is considered that a light beam incident in a state inclined with respect to the system optical axis SA is less likely to be subjected to birefringence by the incident side dustproof plate 74a or the like when passing through the first polarizing plate 25e or the incident side dustproof plate 74a. It is possible to prevent a decrease in contrast and deterioration in viewing angle characteristics due to the plate 74a.

上記プロジェクター10によれば、入射側防塵板74aに熱伝導率の高い複屈折材料、具体的には水晶を用いることにより、液晶デバイス80の冷却効果を高めることができる。一方、射出側防塵板74bに等方性の屈折材料、具体的には石英ガラスやネオセラムを用いることにより、射出側防塵板74bを通過する光束に対してその偏光状態が変化するような位相作用を与えてコントラストの低下を招いてしまうことを防止できる。さらに、入射側防塵板74aを通過する光は、液晶デバイス80及び補償素子OCを通過する前の入射側防塵板74aの光学軸に垂直な偏光軸を有する直線偏光であるため、入射側防塵板74aを通過する際に当該直線偏光に位相差が与えられることがない。したがって、全黒の画像を表示する際に、偏光板25eからの直線偏光は、その偏光軸に垂直な光学軸を有する入射側防塵板74aを、偏光状態が略変わることなく通過し、液晶デバイス80のプレチルトに起因する液晶リタデーションは補償素子OCで補償される。つまり、補償素子OCが入射側防塵板74aの入射側に配置された構成であれば、全黒の画像を表示する際に、補償素子OCにより位相差が与えられ、射出側防塵板74bの光学軸に平行または垂直である偏光軸を有する直線偏光以外の光について射出側防塵板74bで偏光状態が変化することによる表示画像のコントラストの低下を招くが、本実施形態のような配置をとれば、コントラストの低下を抑えることができる。
According to the projector 10, the cooling effect of the liquid crystal device 80 can be enhanced by using a birefringent material having high thermal conductivity, specifically, quartz, for the incident-side dustproof plate 74a. On the other hand, by using an isotropic refracting material, specifically, quartz glass or neoceram, for the exit-side dust-proof plate 74b, a phase action that changes the polarization state with respect to the light beam passing through the exit-side dust-proof plate 74b. Can be prevented from lowering the contrast. Furthermore, since the light passing through the incident-side dustproof plate 74a is linearly polarized light having a polarization axis perpendicular to the optical axis of the incident-side dustproof plate 74a before passing through the liquid crystal device 80 and the compensation element OC, the incident-side dustproof plate When passing through 74a, no phase difference is given to the linearly polarized light. Accordingly, when displaying an all-black image, the linearly polarized light from the polarizing plate 25e passes through the incident-side dustproof plate 74a having an optical axis perpendicular to the polarization axis without substantially changing the polarization state. The liquid crystal retardation caused by the 80 pretilt is compensated by the compensation element OC. That is, if the compensation element OC is arranged on the incident side of the incident-side dustproof plate 74a, a phase difference is given by the compensation element OC when displaying an all-black image, and the optical characteristics of the emission-side dustproof plate 74b . For light other than linearly polarized light having a polarization axis that is parallel or perpendicular to the axis, the polarization state of the exit-side dustproof plate 74b changes, resulting in a decrease in contrast of the display image. , The reduction in contrast can be suppressed.

第4実施形態のプロジェクターによれば、射出側防塵板374bに熱伝導率の高い複屈折材料を用いることにより、液晶デバイスの冷却効果を高めることができる。さらに、光学補償板OCを液晶デバイス80と射出側防塵板374bとで挟む配置とすることにより、液晶デバイス80で変調された光束を射出側防塵板374bの通過の前に光学補償板OCに入射させることができる。つまり、液晶デバイス80に対する光学補償板OCの補償作用が射出側防塵板374bによって妨げられることを防止できる。これにより、表示画像のコントラストの低下を抑えることができる。
According to the projector of the fourth embodiment, the cooling effect of the liquid crystal device can be enhanced by using a birefringent material having high thermal conductivity for the emission-side dustproof plate 374b. Further, by arranging the optical compensation plate OC between the liquid crystal device 80 and the emission-side dustproof plate 374b, the light beam modulated by the liquid crystal device 80 enters the optical compensation plate OC before passing through the emission-side dustproof plate 374b. Can be made. That is, it is possible to prevent the compensation operation of the optical compensation plate OC for the liquid crystal device 80 from being hindered by the emission side dustproof plate 374b . Thereby, a reduction in contrast of the display image can be suppressed.
