Abstract

A projection type image display device includes a LED light source, a polarizing plate, a crossdichroic mirror, three reflective spatial light modulation elements and a projection lens. The LED light source emits lights with three wavelengths. The polarizing plate transmits a first linear polarized light therethrough and reflects a second linear polarized light. The crossdichroic mirror separates the first linear polarized light into three separated lights according to the wavelengths and emits as three separated linear polarized lights, and combines lights entering and emits from an entering direction of the first linear polarized light. The crossdichroic mirror includes two color separation filters arranged so as to be inclined at about 45 degrees with respect to light entering. The two color separation filters meet a condition that a phase difference between a p-polarized light component and an s-polarized light component is equal to or less than 15 degrees in the wavelengths of the three separated linear polarized lights.
