<p>A plate-like polarized light separator of a structure in which polarized light separating film surfaces and reflecting film surfaces are arranged alternately at fine pitches, and a projection display using such a polarized light separator. In the process for manufacturing such a polarized light separator, a glass block consisting of glass plates each having a polarized light separating multilayer film of an inorganic material, and glass plates each having a light reflecting surface are stuck alternately, is cut obliquely with respect to the stuck surfaces. At least one of the sides of the plate-like block thus cut off may be provided with a projecting used for the positioning of the polarized light separator. When a μ/2 phase plate is joined to a part of the light-outgoing surface of this polarized light separator, the polarized light separator which outputs either of s polarized component or p polarized component of light emitted from a light source is obtained. Such a polarized light separator can be utilized for a projection display.</p> |
