Abstract: A liquid crystal display apparatus and liquid crystal projection display apparatus, which employ a hologram color filter, and which are designed so that the illuminating light utilization efficiency is improved to a considerable extent, and that a color image can be faithfully displayed with excellent color reproducibility without uneven color or other similar problem. A color liquid crystal display apparatus (11) has a hologram (5), which diffractively disperses incident light so as to emanate light rays in different wavelength regions at a predetermined spatial period, as a color filter, and a liquid crystal display device (6). The display apparatus (11) is illuminated by white parallel back light (3) from an illuminator (14). A displayed image which is modulated in the color liquid crystal display apparatus (11) is passed through a field lens, which is disposed in the vicinity of the display apparatus (11), and formed as an enlarged image on a screen (19) for display through a projection lens (18).

Abstract: A transmission hologram allowing an illuminating light source for holographic reconstruction to be placed behind the hologram, i.e. on the side opposite to the viewing side, and permitting reconstruction of an image that is bright and clear and has low chromatic dispersion, which is the feature of the reflection type volume hologram. A transmissively viewable reflection hologram has a semitransparent reflecting mirror or a semitransparent reflecting layer placed at either side of a reflection type volume hologram member. The semitransparent reflecting mirror or the semitransparent reflecting layer is integral with or separate from the reflection type volume hologram member.

Abstract: The invention provides a diffusing plate with the angle of diffusion controllable within a desired range by use of a hologram, which is capable of presenting bright displays so that it is applicable to, for instance, a backlighting diffusing plate for liquid crystal display device. A diffusing plate 2 having an angle of diffusion &thgr; is brought into close contact with a hologram photosensitive material 1. Then, parallel light 3 is obliquely at an angle of incidence &agr; on the photosensitive material 1 while parallel light 4 is vertically incident on the diffusing plate 2. Thereupon, parallel light 4 is converted into diffused light 5 having an angle of diffraction &thgr; upon passing through the diffusing plate 2. Diffused light 5 interferes with obliquely incident parallel light 3 from the opposite direction in photosensitive material 1 to produce interference fringes, thereby forming a reflection type hologram.

Abstract: A holographic optical element or other similar molded article using glass as a substrate is improved in the adhesion between the glass substrate and a resin layer formed thereon so that neither peeling nor change of properties will occur. A holographic optical element (4) is adapted to generate interference fringes of the same pitch as that of tracks formed on a magnetic recording disk or repeated patterns formed on an encoder by interference between two light beams emerging from two different holographic lens regions. The holographic optical element (4) includes a glass substrate (3), a radiation-cured resin layer (2) having a hologram relief pattern on the surface thereof, and a silane coupling agent layer (5) provided between the glass substrate (3) and the radiation-cured resin layer (2).
