Abstract: A light source apparatus and the like capable of improving the manufacturing yield are provided. The light source apparatus includes a light source, a collimator which is arranged to face the light source and includes a reflection portion for adjusting a focal length of light incident from the light source to the collimator, and a light guide arranged on an emission side of the collimator. The reflection portion of the collimator includes a normal focus area in which the light emitted from the light source and incident to the collimator is converted into substantially parallel light, a long focus area in which the light incident to the collimator is converted into slightly divergent light in comparison with the substantially parallel light, and a short focus area in which the light incident to the collimator is converted into slightly convergent light in comparison with the substantially parallel light.

Abstract: An information display device that displays image information as a virtual image on a projection surface, the device including: an opening portion at a part of the housing, image light generating means for generating image light, image light processing means for performing a predetermined optical process on the image light, and image projecting means for projecting the image light such that a viewer can recognize the image information as the virtual image in front of the projection surface, and an optical element in which a reflective polarizing plate is fixed to a substrate having a transmissive property with an adhesive agent or with a pressure-sensitive adhesive agent is provided in a part of an optical path inside the housing, as means for selectively reflecting a P-polarized light component of light in a visible light region, and a moisture-proof film is provided on a surface of the reflective polarizing plate.
