Abstract

A projection-type image display device includes an image light generator configured to generate image light, a projection optics configured to project the image light onto a screen. The projection optics includes a reflection mirror configured to reflect the image light toward the screen, the image light outputted from the image light generator. A projection-type image display device includes a protective cover provided on an optical path of the image light reflected by the reflection mirror. The protective cover has a transmissive region transmitting the image light reflected by the reflection mirror.

Claims (19)

1. A projection-type image display device comprising:

an image light generator configured to generate image light;

a projection optics configured to project the image light onto a screen; and

a protective cover configured to protect the projection optics, and provided on an optical path of the image light reflected by a reflection mirror,

wherein

the image light generator includes an optical modulator configured to modulate light based on an image signal,

the projection optics includes, a projection lens configured to project the image light outputted from the image light generator, and the reflection mirror having curved mirror surface configured to reflect the image light outputted from the projection lens toward the screen,

an effective display region of the optical modulator is provided opposite side of the reflection mirror relative to an optical axis of the projection lens,

the protective cover has a transmissive region transmitting the image light reflected by the reflection mirror,

the reflection mirror is a concave mirror, and

the transmissive region is disposed in the vicinity of a position where the image light is condensed by the reflection mirror.

2. The projection-type image display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the image light generator includes an UHP lamp as a light source, and

light emitted from the UHP lamp is separated in an order of a blue light, a green light and a red light, and is guided to the optical modulator.

3. The projection-type image display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the image light generator includes a solid light source as a light source.

4. A projection-type image display system comprising:

the projection-type image display device according to claim 1 , and

a screen on which the image light projected.
