In a projector device, a plurality of light source each including a lamp
and a reflection mirror are arranged in parallel in an opposing relation
to each other with optical axes thereof being offset such that light
fluxes from the light sources are compressed in the offset direction,
respectively. The compressed light fluxes are reflected at right angles by
orthogonal reflecting surfaces of a reflection member including reflection
mirrors or reflection prisms to form a plurality of parallel emitting
lights in one direction. The projector device includes a condenser portion
for condensing the parallel emitting lights to a single emitting light
flux. The light fluxes from the light sources are passed through a
polarizer portion before the incidence on the reflection member or after
the emission from the reflection member such that the light fluxes become
linear polarized lights having polarizing directions coincident with
polarizing directions of liquid crystal panels. The single emitting light
flux is decomposed to a red, green and blue color lights by an image
forming portion and the red, green and blue color lights pass through the
liquid crystal panels to spatially modulate the red, green and blue color
lights to thereby form red, green and blue image lights. The red, green
and blue image lights are synthesized to form a color image light, which
is projected onto a screen by a projection lens.
