Abstract: A stereoscopic picture is viewable from all directions with high reproducibility without complicating a stereoscopic display mechanism, compared to related art. A cylindrical rotation section 104 rotating around a rotation shaft as a rotation center, a two-dimensional light-emitting element array 101 mounted in the rotation section and having a light-emission surface formed of a plurality of light-emitting elements arranged in a matrix, and a slit 102 arranged in a circumferential surface of the rotation section in a position facing the light-emission surface are included. As the two-dimensional light-emitting element array 101, a two-dimensional light-emitting element array including a curved portion with a concave surface which is formed as a light-emission surface is used. The plurality of light-emitting elements emit light, which corresponds to orientation of the light-emission surface, to outside of the rotation section through the slit 102.

Abstract: A polarized light color filter for producing R, G and B primary lights from inputted white light in time division. The filter is small in size and strong against mechanical vibration. The projections of the R, G and B lights can be arbitrarily varied in one period. The varying speed is high, and the ratio of utilization of the quantity of light from the light source is high. Elements 36(1), 38(1), 40(1), 38(2), 40(2), 38(3), 40(3), 38(4) and 36(2) are in order stacked and bonded between glass substrates (30, 32). The elements 38(1) to 38(4) are polarized light converting elements for selecting either a mode in which the inputted light is outputted as it is by applied voltage control or a mode in which the inputted light is converted from one polarized light to the other and outputted. The elements 40(1) to 40(3) are narrow-band polarization spectroscopic elements reflecting only the S-polarized components of the R, G and B lights and transmitting the other components.
