Abstract: A polarizing prism is shaped in the form of a hexahedron. A polarizing beam splitter film (PBS film) is arranged approximately in a diagonal direction of the hexahedron. The polarizing prism holds a relationship of A<B when the dimension thereof in an outgoing direction (Y direction) of a light beam to a screen is A and the dimension thereof in an incident direction (X direction) of a light beam from a light source is B. For example, the polarizing prism is shaped in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped. At a plane on which the light beam is launched from a scanning mirror, one end of the PBS film is placed so as to intersect with the incident plane at an angle of approximately 45° at a position deviated inside by a difference between the dimensions A and B from the end of the incident plane.
