Optical member unit and projection type display

摘要

An optical member unit includes a light transmitting member guiding light emitted by a light source to an imaging optics system by folding the light. The light transmitting member has a refractive index that achieves total reflection of a part of light entering the imaging optics system, the incident angle of the part of light is within the maximum effective incident angle of the light to the imaging optics system. The maximum effective incident angle is determined by the imaging optics system and the refractive index of an incident-side medium that is a medium provided between the imaging optics system and the optical member unit.
