[Prior Art] In recent years, there has been considerable progress in the case of reflecting a reflective liquid crystal panel in which a reflective electrode is provided in each pixel to increase the number of apertures, and a projection type liquid crystal projector using the reflective liquid crystal panel is used. Has entered the market. This reflective liquid crystal panel can achieve a high number of apertures compared to the prior art transmission type liquid crystal panel, so that a compact/high-efficiency projection apparatus (projector) can be realized. Fig. 3 is a structural view showing an example of a projection apparatus using a conventional (conventional) reflective liquid crystal element. As shown in the figure, the reflective projection apparatus 10 of the projection apparatus is roughly composed of a light source η, a polarization beam splitter (PBS: Polarization Beam Splitter) 12, a color separation 稜鏡 14, and a reflective liquid crystal panel 16R, 16G, 16B (R). It is red, G is green, B is blue), and is composed of a projection lens 17 and the like. In the above configuration, the light beam emitted (ejected) from the light source 11 is extracted by the polarization separation 稜鏡1 2 while being linearly polarized, and is incident on the color separation 稜鏡 14 by the bending traveling direction of 90°. Further, the light incident on the dichroic prism 14 is separated into red, green, and blue (RGB) primary light beams, and 1292501 (2) in each of the reflective liquid crystal panels corresponding to the primary color light. After 1 6 G, 1 6 B is reflected, 'the second light beam (polarized light) is separated by the same optical path. In this case, in the light in which the respective reflective liquid crystal panels 16R, 16G, and 16B are modulated by the image, the reflected light in the region in which the liquid crystal is in the ON state is rotated, and the polarization (polarized) light direction is rotated. Reflected at 90°, the polarized light separating prism 12 is transmitted and projected from the projection lens 17 toward a shadow screen (not shown) to form an image. In the above-described conventional reflection type projection apparatus 10, since the polarization separation 稜鏡1 2 using expensive optical parts is used, there is a problem that the cost of the reflection type projection apparatus 1 is increased. Further, when polarized light (hereinafter referred to as polarized light or polarized light) is separated from the 稜鏡1 2 to separate the polarized light, the light of the light source 1 1 is broadened (for example, the width of ±12 degrees is widened), and it is difficult to form a good light. The problem of separating the polar light.

爲了解決該問題爲目的,而提案揭示了採用令不使 用偏極光分離棱鏡 (PBS)之光形成爲傾斜方向入射的反 射型液晶元件的投影裝置(日本國專利特開2000- 1 998 83 號公報)。圖3 3係顯示依據該提案之投影裝置的結構圖 。於同圖中,爲投影裝置之先前反射型投影裝置20,從 光源21所出射的光會由反射器22來反射成略爲平行光之 同時,會直接入射於第1偏光板2 3,且在此作成直線偏極 光(S偏極光或P偏極光)之後,入射於彩色分離/彩色 合成手段(分色稜鏡或分色鏡)。而彩色分離/彩色合 成手段(在此爲分色稜鏡24 ),將會分離白色光爲RGB (3) 1292501 之三原色,並入射於反射型液晶面板26R,26G,26B。 而倘若作爲反射型液晶面板2 6 R,2 6 G,2 6 B使用了垂 直配向型的液晶面板時,又在未施加電壓於反射型液晶 面板且液晶分子形成垂直配向(取向)之狀態時,入射 光的偏光狀態會不變且維持該狀態來在反射型液晶面板 26R,26G,26B被反射。而該時,所反射之光再通過分色 稜鏡24後,由於會在對於第1偏光板23以正交偏光關係來 設置於投影透鏡2 7前的第2偏光板2 5所吸收,因而不會投 影於投影透鏡2 7。亦就是會實現黑色顯示。 另一方面,當施加電壓於反射型液晶面板26R,2 6G ,2 6B而使液晶分子形成爲卧倒爲水平狀態時,入射光之 偏光狀態會有變化,且入射光會在反射型液晶面板2 6 R, 26G,26B被反射。該時,所反射的光會再度通過分色稜 鏡2 4後,通過第2偏光板2 5且藉由透影透鏡2 7來投影。亦 即,會實現白色顯示。 彩色分離/彩色合成手段的分色稜鏡24具有可令來自 光源21之入射光進行彩色分離爲三原色且令各個入射於 反射型液晶面板2 6 R,2 6 G,2 6 B的功能,且具有進行彩色 合成從反射型液晶面板2 6 R,2 6 G,2 6 B所反射之光的功態 。而所入射之光的主軸必需對於反射型液晶面板2 6 R,2 6 G ,2 6 B之反射面以S波或P波的狀態來入射。 亦即,以除此之外的狀態來入射時,由於分色棱鏡24之 反射特性的不同,而在反射型液晶面板2 6 R,2 6 G,2 6 B反 射且通過分色稜鏡兩次之光的偏光狀態,將不會成直線偏極 1292501 * (4) 光,以致無法可獲得良好之黑色顯示。 又液晶分子的配向,需要一定能形成略爲垂直配向。於 本投影裝置,當以S波(P波)所入射之光入射於成垂直配 向的反射型液晶面板26R,26G,26B時,其偏光狀態並不 會產生變化。亦即,所入射的直線偏極光之偏光方向因對於 垂直配向的液晶分之光學軸成爲垂直或平行,因而並不會產 生擾亂偏光狀態,而可維持原來狀態來到達於第2偏極光板 25,並被其吸收且實現黑色顯示。 又作爲光學系彩色化之例,如圖34之投影裝置係從以 往被所周知。同圖(A)爲反射型投影裝置30的平面圖,同 圖(B)爲反射型投影裝置30之側面圖。該先前(習知)之 投影裝置的反射型投影裝置30係由:生成照射光用的光源 21;會令照明光略成平行光反射之反射器22;對於照射光賦 予所定偏光特性(例如極光)用的偏光板3 1;具備由偏光 而反射特性成不同特性之分色正交稜鏡32;具有生成入射於 分色正交稜鏡32的光用之彩色生成功能的偏極光控制元件 33;及將配置於分色正交稜鏡32近旁之反射型顯示元件34R ,34G,34B所構成(而光源21、反射器22、偏光板31及偏 極光控制元件33,將構成爲照明系)。又反射型投影裝置 30乃具有投影透鏡36。 在於該反射型投影裝置30,將令從光源21出射之光以 偏光板31來作成直線偏極光後,因會通過彩色分離,合成系 ,而會由在此所產生的雙折射而在輸出生成不均勻,且又所 獲得之對比也爲低。又使用於反射型投影元件34R,3 4G, 1292501 (5) 3 4 B的液晶元件,雖會要求液晶分子的配向方向大致爲垂 直,但施加電場時,會令液晶分子的傾斜方向成爲混亂 而產生配向狀態不連續,使得具有所謂在映射細微影像 時,會使雜訊顯露之缺點。又具有所謂由分色正交棱鏡32 和反射型顯示元件34R,34G,34B的影響,而顯露干擾條紋 於所投影之圖像的缺點。 又在日本國專利特開2001 -5 1 270號公報,也提案揭示有 不使用昂貴(高價位)的PBS,而可實現低成本且具有良好 之反差比(對比度係數)的投影裝置爲其目的之如圖35所 示的投影裝置4 0。於圖3 5中,從光源4 1所出射之略平行 光L1乃由會聚透鏡42而成爲會聚光L2,且通過板43及多 層雙折射元件4 4來從傾斜方向入射於顯示元件4 5。 而在顯示元件4 5,則入射光會響應於圖像資訊而調變 偏光方向,且予以反射。至於所反射之光乃再一次通過 多層雙折射元件及偏光板43,且透射透鏡46來到達於影 幕(未圖示),並映射圖像。 於該投影裝置4 0係揭示由於予以對準最靠近於雙折 射元件的進相軸和液晶之配向方向合爲一,因而會成爲 並不需要對於來自傾斜方向進行雙折射補償用的雙折射 元件之技術。於該投影裝置4 0雖未具體性地揭示彩色圖 像的製成方法,但可思爲令通過彩色分離系之光,以通 過偏光、檢光(分析)手段來入射於彩色合成系的構造 。以此一點言,確與前述先前之反射型投影裝置3 0有所 相異’且形成爲不具有在彩色分離合成系之雙折射影響 -9- 1292501 (6) 的光學系。然而,在該先前之投影裝置40仍具如下之問 題處。 由於用於偏光或檢光光用的手段爲同一者,因而並 無法避免來自顯示元件4 5反射面之影響,而會顯出干擾條 紋於投影畫面上。又多層雙折射元件44乃在廣#之光波長, 嚴格地要求著要產生λ /4波長的相位差,倘若構成多層雙折 射元件44之任一的特性產生故障(不按照其特性進行)時, 會從該條件產生偏差,因而當照射投影機等之光而使光增強 時,會令特性迅速地變爲不良。尤其,近年來,元件的小型 化有所進步,以致光源4 1之利用效率有所提高時,會令在照 射面的照(明)度提高。而如此之問題,尤其在先前的投 影裝置40會成爲顯著。 在於圖35所示之特開200 1 -5 1270號公報所記載的習知裝 置40 ’雙折射元件(相位差板)44,雖爲λ Μ波長之板,但 除此之外,也從以往提案揭示有使用具有成傾斜光學軸的雙 折射光學材料之投影顯示裝置(日本國特開平9-197397號 公報,特開2000-321576公報)。 又也有許多之揭示了放入相位差板於光學系中來竟 圖改善可見角度特性等之文獻。例如在於上述之特開平 9-197397號公報所記載之先前投影裝置乃使用著具有成 傾斜之軸的相位差板。該裝置並非爲反射型液晶面板, 而是使用透射型液晶面板者,在於具有偏光手段和檢光 手段於液晶元件(cell)兩側之前述透射型液晶面板,予 以配備相位差板的光學補償薄板於液晶元件和偏光手段 -10- 1292501 (7) ’或液晶兀件和檢光手段之間,或者在液晶元件和偏光 手段’檢光手段雙方之間者。於該習知裝置,乃揭示了 不會降低從正面觀看時的對比下,能改善從左右,上下 等之傾斜方向觀看時的對比之情事。 然而,該習知裝置之對比爲100左右之極低者,並未 討論到在投影機所要求之5 00 : 1以上之對比的情事。又液 晶面板爲透射型者,因而對於液晶元件僅能透射一次, 完全未考慮到透射液晶層2次時所產生之特性偏差,或基 板所反射之影響等。 又在特開2000-321576號公報,揭示有以使用向列液 晶之反射型主動矩陣元件,重疊成傾斜之相位差板的顯 示裝置。由於使用反射型液晶元件,以致能顯示高亮度且 明亮,又可顯示高精細的圖像,因此,較前述之特開平9-1 97 3 97號公報所記載之習知裝置更優異。然而,會進入 於元件的光因通過同一相位差板,因此,所能獲得之對 比在於1 〇以下,完全不在於投影機元件所能使用的位準 〇 又有提案揭示在彩色分離合成系之前分離光徑的結構之 光學系文獻 1 ( Journal of the SID 9/3 ’ 2001 p213; Matthew Bone, Front-projection optical design for reflective LCOS technology )。依據該光學系,從燈泡所出射的光,由彩色 分離光學系分離成RGB之後,以偏光器(偏振器)來整理偏 光來入射於反射型液晶元件,而所反射的光因在彩色合成 系之前進行檢光 (analyze ),因此,被稱爲可獲得 -11 - 1292501 (8) 3 0 0〜5 00:1的對比。然而,於上述文獻1所記載之光學系,當 使用了垂直配向反射型液晶元件時,並不會增進所預想程 度的對比,又具有在投影畫面上由對比之位置而產的差異之 問題。 又有提案各種揭示有在未施加電壓時,液晶會在基板大 致形成之型式的電介質向異性乃使用正之向列液晶的反射型 之液晶模態者。例如特開平1 0-9073 1號公報乃揭示自補償型 扭曲 (扭轉)向歹[J (SCTN: Self-Compensated TwistedIn order to solve the problem, the proposal discloses a projection device that uses a reflective liquid crystal element that is formed to be incident in an oblique direction without using a polarized light separation prism (PBS) (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2000- 1 998 83) ). Fig. 3 is a structural view showing a projection apparatus according to the proposal. In the same figure, the front reflective projection device 20 of the projection device, the light emitted from the light source 21 is reflected by the reflector 22 into a slightly parallel light, and is directly incident on the first polarizing plate 23, and After linearly polarized light (S-polarized light or P-polarized light) is formed here, it is incident on a color separation/color synthesis means (separation or dichroic mirror). The color separation/color synthesis means (here, the color separation 稜鏡 24) separates the white light into three primary colors of RGB (3) 1292501 and is incident on the reflective liquid crystal panels 26R, 26G, and 26B. On the other hand, when a vertical alignment type liquid crystal panel is used as the reflective liquid crystal panel 2 6 R, 2 6 G, and 2 6 B, when a voltage is not applied to the reflective liquid crystal panel and liquid crystal molecules are vertically aligned (orientated), The polarization state of the incident light is constant and the state is maintained to be reflected by the reflective liquid crystal panels 26R, 26G, and 26B. At this time, the reflected light passes through the color separation 稜鏡 24, and is absorbed by the second polarizing plate 25 which is disposed in front of the projection lens 27 in the orthogonal polarization relationship with respect to the first polarizing plate 23. It is not projected onto the projection lens 27. That is, the black display will be realized. On the other hand, when a voltage is applied to the reflective liquid crystal panels 26R, 26G, and 26B to form the liquid crystal molecules in a horizontal state, the polarization state of the incident light changes, and the incident light is incident on the reflective liquid crystal panel. 2 6 R, 26G, 26B are reflected. At this time, the reflected light passes through the dichroic mirror 24 again, passes through the second polarizing plate 25, and is projected by the through lens 27. That is, a white display will be achieved. The color separation 稜鏡 24 of the color separation/color synthesis means has a function of allowing the incident light from the light source 21 to be color-separated into three primary colors and causing each to be incident on the reflective liquid crystal panel 2 6 R, 2 6 G, 2 6 B, and There is a work state in which light reflected from the reflective liquid crystal panels 2 6 R, 2 6 G, and 2 6 B is color-synthesized. The principal axis of the incident light must be incident on the reflective surface of the reflective liquid crystal panel 2 6 R, 2 6 G , and 2 6 B in the state of S wave or P wave. That is, when incident in other states, due to the difference in the reflection characteristics of the dichroic prism 24, the reflective liquid crystal panel 2 6 R, 2 6 G, 2 6 B reflects and passes through the color separation. The polarized state of the secondary light will not be linearly polarized to 12125501 * (4) light, so that a good black display cannot be obtained. Also, the alignment of the liquid crystal molecules needs to be formed to form a slightly vertical alignment. In the present projection apparatus, when the light incident on the S wave (P wave) is incident on the vertically aligned reflective liquid crystal panels 26R, 26G, and 26B, the polarization state thereof does not change. That is, the direction of polarization of the incident linearly polarized light is perpendicular or parallel to the optical axis of the liquid crystal which is vertically aligned, so that the polarization state is not disturbed, and the original state is maintained to reach the second polarizing plate 25 And is absorbed by it and realizes black display. Further, as an example of colorization of an optical system, the projection apparatus of Fig. 34 has been known from the past. The same figure (A) is a plan view of the reflection type projection device 30, and Fig. (B) is a side view of the reflection type projection device 30. The reflective projection device 30 of the conventional (preferred) projection device is composed of a light source 21 for generating illumination light, a reflector 22 for causing illumination light to be reflected by parallel light, and a predetermined polarization characteristic for illumination light (for example, aurora). a polarizing plate 31 for use; a color separation orthogonal 稜鏡 32 having different characteristics of reflection characteristics by polarization; and a polarization detecting element 33 for generating a color generating function for light incident on the color separation orthogonal 稜鏡 32 And the reflective display elements 34R, 34G, and 34B disposed in the vicinity of the color separation orthogonal 稜鏡 32 (the light source 21, the reflector 22, the polarizing plate 31, and the polarization detecting element 33 are configured as an illumination system) . Further, the reflection type projection device 30 has a projection lens 36. In the reflection type projection device 30, after the light emitted from the light source 21 is linearly polarized by the polarizing plate 31, the light is separated by color, and the system is combined, and the birefringence generated here is generated in the output. Uniform, and the contrast obtained is also low. Further, in the liquid crystal element of the reflective projection element 34R, 3 4G, 1292501 (5) 3 4 B, the alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecules is required to be substantially vertical, but when an electric field is applied, the tilt direction of the liquid crystal molecules is confused. The generation of the alignment state is discontinuous, so that there is a disadvantage that the noise is revealed when the fine image is mapped. Further, there is a disadvantage that the effect of the interference fringes on the projected image is exhibited by the influence of the color separation cross prism 32 and the reflective display elements 34R, 34G, 34B. In Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2001-51-270, it is also proposed to disclose a projection apparatus having a high contrast ratio (contrast coefficient) at a low cost without using an expensive (high-priced) PBS. The projection device 40 shown in Fig. 35. In Fig. 35, the slightly parallel light L1 emitted from the light source 41 is condensed light L2 by the condensing lens 42, and is incident on the display element 45 from the oblique direction by the plate 43 and the multi-layer birefringent element 44. On the display element 45, the incident light modulates the polarization direction in response to the image information and reflects it. As for the reflected light, it passes through the multilayer birefringent element and the polarizing plate 43 again, and transmits the lens 46 to reach a shadow (not shown), and maps the image. In the projection device 40, it is revealed that since the alignment direction of the phase-input axis closest to the birefringent element and the alignment direction of the liquid crystal are combined, it is not necessary to perform birefringence element for birefringence compensation from the oblique direction. Technology. Although the projection apparatus 40 does not specifically disclose a method of producing a color image, it is conceivable that the light of the color separation system is incident on the color synthesis system by means of polarization and light detection (analysis) means. . In this case, it is true that it is different from the aforementioned conventional reflection type projection device 30 and is formed as an optical system which does not have the birefringence effect of the color separation and synthesis system -9- 1292501 (6). However, the prior projection device 40 still has the following problems. Since the means for polarizing or detecting light is the same, the influence from the reflecting surface of the display element 45 cannot be avoided, and the interference pattern is displayed on the projected picture. Further, the multilayer birefringent element 44 is in the wavelength of light of the wide wavelength, and strictly requires a phase difference of λ /4 wavelength to be generated, provided that the characteristics constituting any of the multilayer birefringent elements 44 cause a failure (not according to its characteristics). There is a deviation from this condition, and when the light is amplified by the illumination of the projector or the like, the characteristics are quickly deteriorated. In particular, in recent years, the miniaturization of components has progressed, so that when the utilization efficiency of the light source 41 is improved, the illumination on the illumination surface is improved. Such a problem, especially in the prior projection device 40, can become significant. The conventional device 40' birefringent element (phase difference plate) 44 described in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. JP-A No. 2001-5-1702 is a plate of λ Μ wavelength, but other than The proposal discloses a projection display device using a birefringent optical material having an inclined optical axis (Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 9-197397, JP-A-2000-321576). There are also many publications that incorporate phase difference plates in the optical system to improve the viewing angle characteristics and the like. For example, the prior art projection apparatus disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 9-197397 uses a phase difference plate having a tilted axis. The device is not a reflective liquid crystal panel, but a transmissive liquid crystal panel. The transmissive liquid crystal panel having polarizing means and a light detecting means on both sides of a liquid crystal cell is provided with an optical compensation sheet equipped with a phase difference plate. It is between the liquid crystal element and the polarizing means-10-1292501 (7)' or between the liquid crystal element and the light detecting means, or between the liquid crystal element and the polarizing means 'light detecting means. In the conventional device, it is revealed that the contrast when viewed from the front, the upper and lower sides, and the like can be improved without lowering the contrast when viewed from the front. However, the comparison of the conventional devices is extremely low at around 100, and the comparison of the 50,000:1 required by the projector is not discussed. Further, since the liquid crystal panel is of a transmissive type, the liquid crystal element can be transmitted only once, and the characteristic deviation caused by the transmission of the liquid crystal layer twice or the influence of the reflection of the substrate is not considered at all. Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2000-321576 discloses a display device in which a reflective phase active plate element using nematic liquid crystals is superposed on a tilted retardation plate. Since a reflective liquid crystal element is used, it is possible to display high-intensity and brightness, and it is possible to display a high-definition image. Therefore, it is superior to the conventional device described in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 9-1 97 3 97. However, the light that enters the component passes through the same phase difference plate, so the contrast that can be obtained is less than 1 ,, which is not at all the level that can be used by the projector component. It is also proposed to disclose before the color separation synthesis system. Optical system 1 (Journal of the SID 9/3 '2001 p213; Matthew Bone, Front-projection optical design for reflective LCOS technology). According to this optical system, the light emitted from the bulb is separated into RGB by the color separation optical system, and then the polarized light is polarized (polarizer) to be incident on the reflective liquid crystal element, and the reflected light is in the color synthesis system. Before the detection (analyze), it is called to obtain a comparison of -11 - 1292501 (8) 3 0 0~5 00:1. However, in the optical system described in the above-mentioned Document 1, when the vertical alignment-reflective liquid crystal element is used, there is no problem in that the contrast of the intended degree is improved, and there is a problem that the difference is produced by the position of the contrast on the projection screen. There are also proposals for a liquid crystal mode in which a dielectric type which is formed by a liquid crystal which is substantially formed on a substrate when a voltage is not applied is a reflection type liquid crystal which uses a positive nematic liquid crystal.

Phys· Left. 68 ,p.1 45 5 ( 1 996)]也揭示有MTN模態。 該等之模態,將使用在於未施加電壓,或施加臨限値程 度的電壓時會顯示白色,而予以充分地施加電壓時就會顯示 黑色的通常(正常)爲白色型之反射型扭轉向列液晶顯示 模態(NW模態)。 然而,在於該等模態,施加足夠之電壓時,雖能使液晶 成爲垂直而顯示黑色,但即使予以施加多少之電壓也會使液 晶分子成爲接近於水平的配向,以致會產生延遲而該情況會 形成具有所謂使黑色位準變爲不佳之問題。又要充分地施加 電壓時,需要提高主動矩陣驅動電壓,爲此,電晶體會變爲 大’使得會損害到所謂能以高密度來作成圖素之反射型液 •12- 1292501 (9) 晶元件的優點。又加上也具有所謂可見角度會變爲不良之 問題。 如以上所說明,使用上述各種液晶顯示元件的先前投 影裝置均具有一長一短。且仍未提案揭示未使用PBS,而 使用可獲得5 0 0 ·· 1以上對比,並幾乎不會產生干擾條紋或 左右不均勻之反射型液晶顯示元件的投影裝置。 本發明係鑑於以上之點而發明者,其目的係擬提供一 種使用了可獲得作爲投影裝置所需要的高對比(5 00:1以 上)之反射型液晶元件的投影裝置者。 又本發明之另一目的,係擬提供一種未使用PBS,且 使用了幾乎不產生干擾條紋或左右不均勻之反射型液晶 元件的投影裝置。 再者’本發明之再另一目的,係擬提供一種在MTN模 態或SCTN模態,使用了能由低驅動電壓來獲得充足之對 比,且可見角度也良好的反射型液晶元件之投影裝置者 〇 本發明爲了達成上述目的,乃一種投影裝置,係使用 了將由彩色分離手段對從光源所出射之光實施彩色分離所 獲得的三原色光透射偏光手段,而入射於由夾持液晶層於透 明基板和反射基板之間所形成的反射型液晶元件,並在前 述反射型液晶元件,以對應於圖像資料所調變之來自前述 反射型液晶元件的反射光,由與前述偏光手段配置成正交 偏光之關係的檢光手段來檢光,且由投影透鏡放大投影該 由檢光手段所檢光之光的斜投影光學系之反射型液晶元件 -13- 1292501 (10) 者,其特徵爲:在於前述偏光手段和前述反射型液晶元件 之間,或在前述反射型液晶元件和前述檢光手段之間,具 備有具有單軸向異性,且其光學軸對於膜面朝斜方向成傾斜 插入的相位差板,而該相位差板之光學軸係設定成正交於相 鄰接於前述相位差板的偏光手段或檢光手段之透射軸。 於本發明係插入具有單軸向異性,且其光學軸對於膜面 朝斜方向傾斜的相位差板於偏光手段和反射型液晶元件或 反射型液晶元件和檢光手段之間,且該相差板的光學軸係 設定成正交於相鄰接於相位差板的偏光手段或檢光手段之透 射軸,使得可由反射型液晶元件來反射,且可減低由檢光 手段所吸收的反射光之黑色位準。又能不使用偏光射束分裂 器(PBS)下,可由偏光手段和檢光手段來僅檢光(分析) 預定之P偏極光或S偏極光。 而上述之反射型液晶元件係令電介質向異性爲負的向 列液晶作成爲預傾角度爲80〜89度,且對於入射偏極光設定 成方位角度爲(45 + 90n)度[但η爲整數之角度],而相位 差板之光學軸係設定成平行於所入射的Ρ偏極光之振動面。 又上述之偏光手段乃設定成能通過S偏極光的特性,相 位差板係配設於偏光手段和反射型液晶元件之間,而反射 型液晶元件係令電介質向異性爲負的向列液晶作成爲預傾 斜角之角度大致爲80〜8 9度,且對於入射偏極光設定成方 位角度爲 (45 + 9〇η)度[但η爲整數之角度],至於相位 差板之光學軸係設定成平行於成垂直於所入射的S偏極光 振動面之面。 -14- (11) 1292501 又上述之相位差板也可構成爲具有碟狀液晶作爲基 本的負之單軸向異性,且碟狀液晶之傾斜會在膜的上下 大致成爲相同,而其預傾斜角度爲40度〜80度,又在具有 碟狀液晶作爲基本的負之單軸向異性,在膜的上下碟狀 液晶之傾斜有變化時,也可構成爲令碟狀液晶傾斜爲大 的一方成相對向配置於靠近於偏光手段或檢光手段側。 又本發明乃讓上述相位差板構成爲與靠近之偏光手段 或檢光手段成一體固定,而消除多餘的表面反射,使得 可增進透射率。 又本發明乃讓上述相位差板構成爲黏著於形成有反射 防止層於表面之玻璃板背面。由而,可減低多餘之界面 反射。 而作爲本發明其他形態,與採用NW模態的反射型液 晶元件時,入射光就使用S偏極光,而插入光學軸對於膜 面朝斜方向傾斜之相位差板於偏光手段和前述反射型液 晶元件之間,或在前述反射型液晶元件和檢光手段之間 ,且該相位差板的光學軸設定成平行於相鄰接於前述相 位差板之偏光手段或檢光手段的透射軸,就可降低由檢 光手段所吸收之反射光的黑色位準。又能在不使用偏光 射束分裂器(PBS)之狀態下,由前述偏光手段和檢光手 段來獲得足夠之對比。 上述NW模態的反射型液晶元件係令向列的液晶作成 預傾斜角度爲2度〜5度,液晶層之扭轉角度爲80度〜90度 ,且透明基板側之液晶配向方位角度爲190度至200度或 -15-

· 5 5以上,0.6 5以下之S C TN模態 【實施方式】 以下,將參照所附上之圖式來說明使用了本發明的一 實施形態之反射型液晶元件的投影裝置。圖1 (A)係顯示 使用了本發明一實施形態之反射型液晶元件的投影裝置第 1實施形態之方塊圖,圖1 (B)係顯示使用了本發明一實施 形態的反射型液晶元件之投影裝置第2實施形態的方塊圖 。於圖1 (A)中,從光源A1所出射之光,將透射透鏡群A2 且藉由會彩色分離成RGB的三原色光的彩色分離光學系3A 來進行彩色分離後,透射各偏光手段A4及相位差板A5, 而入射於夾持液晶層於透明基板與主動矩陣反射基板之間 所形成之反射型液晶元件A6。 而在於該反射型液晶元件A 6,以對應於圖像資料所 調變之光,將入射於偏光手段A4成正交尼科科耳關係配置 的檢光手段A7來檢光。並在由顯示圖像資料而驅動反射 型液晶元件A6之液晶層成爲接通時,檢光手段A7會透射 -16- (13) 1292501 入射光,而在未驅動液晶層的斷路時,檢光手段A 7會吸收 入射光並不會通過。至於通過檢光手段A7之光,會在彩色 合成光學系A8進行彩色合成後,將由投透鏡A9來放大投 影於未圖示的影幕上。 再者,有需要配備偏光手段A4於彩色分離光學系A3 之後,且配備檢光手段A7於彩色合成光學系A8之前。從 設計光學系的關係言,主要之偏光調整功能雖可設置於彩 色分離光學系A3之前,但在彩色分離光學系A3後’ 一定 需要配備能使在彩色分離光學系A3成劣化狀態之直線偏 極光狀態成爲良好的偏光手段A4。 於斜投影光學系[軸外(off-axis )],配設於偏光 手段A4與反射型液晶元件A6之間的相位差板A5係具有單 軸向異性,且其光學軸對於膜面朝斜方向傾斜,又其光學 軸係與相鄰於相位差板A5的偏光手段A4之透射軸設定成 正交。由而,能在不使用PB S之下,以廉價來實現明亮的 光學系。 其次,將使用圖1 (B)之方塊圖來說明本發明的第2實 施手段。於圖1 (B)中,對於與圖1 (A)爲相同結構部分, 將附上相同符號並省略其說明。於該第2實施形態,其特徵 爲:在上述之斜投影光學系(軸外),插入了具有單軸向 異性,且其光學軸對於膜面朝斜方向傾斜,又其光學軸係與 檢光手段7的透射軸成正交的相位差板B 1之處。由而,能在 不使用PBS之下,以廉價地實現明亮的光學系。 (14) 1292501 (實施例) 接著,說明有有關本發明之各實施例。圖2 (A) , (B) 係有關使用了本發明的一實施形態之反射型液晶元件的投 影裝置之第1實施形態,乃顯示第1及第2的實施例之黑色顯 示時及白色顯示時的結構圖。於圖2 (A) 、 (B)中,使用 了本發明第1實施例的反射型液晶元件之投影裝置50,係在 對於反射型液晶元件的入射光徑上予以配設從入射光取出 直線偏極光用之第1偏光(偏極光)板52a,及具有軸方向爲 傾斜構造的相位差板5 3,又在來自反射型液晶元件5 1之反 射光光徑上,配設有第2偏光板(檢光鏡)52b。 反射型液晶元件5 1乃具有成相對向配置之透明基板54 和反射基板55 ’並具有夾持液晶層56於該等之間。再者,雖 未圖示,在於透明基板54的對向表面,形成有共同電極之透 明電極,而在反射基板55的對向表面,則成複數個矩陣狀來 形成有形成於每一圖素之MOS電晶體,或TFT等的驅動電路 ,及反射電極。作爲圖素大小乃形成有例如ΙΟμπίχΙΟμιη四, 方左右的微小圖素。 而作爲成液晶層56之液晶分子係具有垂直配向型的負之 電介向異性的向列液晶。在於接觸於液晶層56之透明基板54 及反射基板55的表面,形成有例如實施摩擦處理之由聚醯亞 胺膜所形成的配向膜(未圖示),且對於初始狀態之液晶 分子賦予例如約80〜89度的傾斜角度及對於偏光板之偏光軸 賦予約45度的面方位角度。 又圖2 (Α)係在不施加電場於各圖素電極之狀態(初始 -18- 1292501 (15) 狀態,顯示會顯示黑色的正常黑色(NB)模態,而液晶層 爲斷路狀態。而同圖(B)係會顯示白色之模態,乃顯示液 晶層56被驅動成接通時之狀態。 接著,說明有關本實施例之動作,於圖2 (A) , (B) ,從未圖示之光源出射之光,首先會由第1偏光板52a僅取出 P偏極光,然後由軸方向爲傾斜的相位差板53來調變,並入 射於反射型液晶元件5 1。而軸方向爲傾斜之相差板53的光 軸,將整理排列P偏極光所振動之面內。具有傾斜軸的相位 差板53,將使用例如排列揭示於日本國專利特開平9- 1 97397 號公報或特開2000-321576號公報之碟狀(圓形狀)液晶於 基板上者等。 入射於反射型液晶元件51之光,將通過液晶層56且由 反射基板上的反射電極而被反射,進而通過液晶層56及透明 基板54出射來入射於第2偏光板[檢光鏡或檢光(振)器] 52b ° 在此,倘若未施加電場於各圖素電極而液晶層56爲斷路 時,入射光之偏光狀態會維持不變以原狀來在反射基板55被 反射。該時,所反射的光因在設置於投影透鏡5 7前面之第2 偏光板(檢光器)52b所吸收,因而會成爲如圖2 (A)所 示,並不會入射至投影透鏡5 7。亦即,會實現黑色顯示。 而在另一方面,當施加電場於各圖素電極來驅動液晶層 5 6成爲接通時,反射型液晶元件5 1的入射光偏光狀態會 被旋轉並在反射板5 5被反射。該時,所反射之光係形成 如圖2 (B)所示,會通過第2偏光板(檢光器)52b且經由 -19- 1292501 (16) 投影透鏡57來放大投影於未圖示的影幕上。 將以液晶層5 6之預傾斜角爲8 5度時爲例來加以說明 。而作爲具有傾斜軸的相位差板5 3之特性,將使用例如 基板側的角度爲4度,表面側角度爲80度者。僅讓該具有 傾斜軸之相位差板5 3以插入於成正交偏光狀態安置第1偏 光板52a和第2偏光板(檢光鏡)52b的光學系所測定之透 射率變化予以顯示於圖3。同圖中,縱軸顯示透射率,橫 軸顯示極角度。如同圖所示,透射率特性在極角度爲 -60度附近顯示最大,而在35度附近顯示最小。 而使用該相位差板5 3的實際系統系,以模擬所獲得 之可見角度特性係如圖4所示,在方位角9 0度時,可察明 極角度爲15〜20度附近的黑色位準變爲小。[圖4中,虛 線之圓爲極角度20度單位,而最小直徑的圓乃顯示極角 度爲20度:(以下之可見角度特性圖也以同樣來顯示)]。 讓入射至液晶層5 6的光之角度爲約1 2度,投影透鏡 的F値爲2 · 4 (該狀態時之取進透鏡的角度因約爲1 2度,因 而,在可見角度言,能取進極角度0〜24度,方位角 2 5 8〜2 7 2度之範圍的光)來投影於影幕時,對比爲約6 5 0 : 1 且也無左右的對比傾斜(左右不均勻),而能形成均勻 之顯示。又也未觀察到伴隨著表面或(境)界面內部所 引起的干擾現象。 接著,說明有關本發明之第2實施例。本實施例的結 構雖與圖2所示之第1實施例相同,但作爲具有傾斜軸的相 位差板5 3,使用了例如基板側之角度爲1 〇度,表面側之角 -20- 1292501 (17) 度爲70度者之處,有相異。本實施例的可見角度特性係如 圖5所示,可察明在方位角90度方向有擴廣極角度10度附 近的黑色位準之方位角方向的可見角度。且在投影於影 幕上時之對比爲約600:1,並也無左右之對比傾斜而成爲 均勻,又也未觀察到伴隨表面或(境)界面內部之反射 所引起的干擾現象。 將未插入軸方向爲傾斜的相位差板5 3時作爲第1比較 例,並說明有關該第1比較例和本第2實施例之相異處。再 者,該第1比較例的結構係除了無相位差板53之外,其他結 構係與圖2的結構相同。於該第1比較例時,會在實際投影之 晝面可看到左右方向黑色位準的傾斜現象。對比爲高之處雖 爲700:1,但在對比低之處則爲300:1。又也觀察到伴隨表面 或界面內部反射而引起的干擾現象。 將顯示該第1比較例的可見角度特性於圖6。圖6之可見 角度特性係顯示在未施加電壓於液晶的黑色顯示時,倘具有 液晶之預傾斜角(度),就會令可獲得對比之位置在於中 心部,雖會在偏光方向和正交於偏光方向的方向對比爲高, 但尤其來自對於偏光方向爲45度之斜方向光的入射角時,光 會迅速地漏洩,以致提高黑色位準,且會降低對比。 又從光入射之方位角90° (相當於從斜上方觀察來自斜 下方所入射且反射的光之狀態)部分來觀看時,可察明極 角度變小時(成傾斜地入射光時),會令對應於方位角位 而所能獲得的黑位準有產生變化。該情況乃意味在所投影之 畫面上,具有朝左右方向的黑色位準傾斜,以致會在左右具 -21 - (18) 1292501 有對比的傾斜。該現象,將會在彩色合成時被觀察爲三枚之 反射型液晶面板特性因並不一致而產生之彩色不均勻, 且成爲極爲顯著。 再者,圖7係顯示可見角度特性的重點。如同圖所示, 通常(軸上:on axis )係成垂直入射光且成垂直出射,因而 圓之中央部分的特性極爲重要,但在軸外時,因成斜向來入 射光,使得該部分之特性成爲具有重要性。通常,入射光理 想爲並行光,但無論怎樣會以會聚光來照射,以致光成爲 (反)圓錐狀來照射。圓錐之擴大角度被稱爲圓錐角,且該 角度之光的範圍特性成爲具有重要性。 例如在圓錐角1 5度之光而在於上述軸外時,光之中心因 在極角度0度(剛好在中央),因此,倘若包括圓錐角,就 會使極角度15度(半徑15)之圓內會成爲重要部分。倘若考 慮例如從方位角270°方向,以極角度16度(從垂直傾斜16度 )來入射光之狀態時,所反射之光會成爲以方位角90度,極 角度16度爲中心的圖7所示之橢圓內的範圍。以該觀點來觀 看時,可察明在本實施形態,該部分之黑色成爲良好。 如上述,依據上述第2實施例,因不使用PBS而成爲明 亮,且可實現廉價的光學系,又雖有需要成斜向來入射光至 元件,但由於僅在該入射角度周圍處能調整爲最適當的狀況 ,使得可獲得極爲高之對比。再者,依據上述第2實施例, 偏光板條件並不嚴格,且偏光手段(第1偏光板52a)和起因 於來自反射型液晶元件的表面或界面等之反射的檢光手段 (第2偏光板52b),因具有獨立之正交偏光關係,因此,並 -22- 1292501 (19) 不會形成投影干擾條紋於畫面之情事。又在彩色分離後,具 有偏光手段和檢光手段,且在檢光後才進行彩色合成,因而 ,並不具有由在彩色分離,彩色合成系的雙折射而降低偏光 純度之問題,使得具有對於熱等爲穩定的特長。 然而,在上述之第1及第2的實施例,因令具有朝傾斜向 傾斜之單軸向異性的相位差板53與入射P偏極光振動面成平 行,以致相位差板5 3之延遲(折射率差和膜厚的乘積)範圍 變爲狹窄,又所能獲得之可見角度特性成爲狹窄。爲此,在 以下將說明之第3實施例,將所入射之偏極光作爲S偏極光, 並令具有朝斜向傾斜的單軸向異性之相位差板成爲與入射S 偏極光振動面形成正交面形成平行。 以下,將參照圖8來說明有關本發明之第3實施例。圖8 (A) , (B)係顯示使用本發明之一實施形態的反射型液晶 元件之投影裝置的第3實施例在黑色顯示時及白色顯示時之 結構圖。於圖8 (A) , (B),使用有關本發明第3實施例的 反射型液晶元件之投影裝置60,乃在對於反射型液晶元件 61的入射光光徑上,配設從入射光取出直線偏極光之第1偏 光板62a及具有軸方向爲傾斜之構造的相位差板63,又在來 自反射型液晶元件6 1之反射光光徑上,配設第2偏光板(檢 光鏡)62b。 反射型液晶元件61,其構造具有成對向配置的透明基 板6 4及反射基板6 5 ’且在該等間夾持有概晶層ό 6。再者’ 雖未圖示,在透明基板64之對向表面,形成有共用電極的 透明電極,而在反射極板65之對向表面則形成有形成於 -23- 1292501 (20) 每一圖素的MO S電晶體,或TFT等的驅動電路,及反射電 極成爲複數個之矩陣狀。而作爲圖素大小乃形成有例如 ΙΟμιηχΙΟμιη略四方形的微小圖素。 而作爲構成液晶層66之液晶分子,使用了具有垂直配向 型的負之電介質向異性的向列液晶。在於會接觸於液晶層66 之透明基板64及反射基板65的表面,爲了賦予配向於液晶分 子而形成有例如以汽相澱積配向之由氧化矽所形成的配向膜 (未圖示),且賦予例如約80〜89度的傾斜角及對於偏光板之 偏極光軸約45度的兩方位角。圖8 (Α)係顯示在未施加電場 於各圖素電極之狀態下會顯示黑色的正常黑色(ΝΒ)模態 。圖8(B)係顯示會顯示白色的模態。 其次,將說明有關第3實施例之動作。於圖8 (Α), (Β),從未圖示之光源所出射的光,首先由未圖示之彩色分 離光學系來分離成RGB的三原色光後,藉由第1偏光板62a僅 取出S偏極光,然後由軸方向成傾斜之相位差板63來調變, 而入射於反射型液晶元件6 1。軸方向爲傾斜的相位差板63 之光軸係排列整理於所入射的S偏極光所振動之面內。具有 傾斜軸的相位差板63係使用揭示於例如日本國專利特開平9-1 97397號公報或特開2000-32 1576號公報之排列碟狀液晶於 基板上者等。該相位差板63的理想形態係如下。 (1) 相位差板63係由透明基板(透明支承體)及配設 於基上之具有碟狀構造單位的化合物所形成之光學向異性層 所形成。 (2) 光學各自異性層之碟狀構造單位的圓盤面乃對於 -24- 1292501 (21) 透明支承體面成傾斜,且該碟狀構造單位之圓盤面與透明支 承體面所形成的角度,會在光學向異性層產生變化。 (3)由②式所代表之光學補償片所有延遲的合計絕 對値Rel ,和由③式所代表之液晶層的延遲之絕對値Re2 係可滿足下述①式(公式)的關係: 0.4xRe2^ Rel ^ 1.0xRe2 Φ [但上述光學補償片之延遲,係由下式來定義, {nl- (n2+n3) /2}xd ② (上式中,nl,n2及n3係表示上述光學補償片的三軸 方向折射率,各以該順序具有小的折射率,d係表示上述光 學補償片之n m換算厚度),而上述液晶層的延遲,係由下 式來定義, { m3- (m 1+m2) /2 } xd’ ③ (上式中,ml,m2及m3係表示上述液晶之三軸方向折射 率,而各別依序具有小的折射率,d '表示上述液晶層之 nm換算厚度)]。 再度回到圖8來說明時,入射於反射型液晶元件6 1之光 ,將通過液晶層66而由反射基板65上的反射電極被反射,進 而通過液晶層66及透明基板64來出射,並入射於第2偏光板 (檢光鏡)62b。 -25- 1292501 (22) 而在未施加電場於各圖素電極,液晶層66爲斷路時,入 射光之偏光狀會維持不變按原來狀態在反射基板65被反射。 該時所反射的光因會在配設於投影透鏡67前面側之第2偏光 板(檢光器)62b被吸收,因此,以如圖8 (A)所不,不會入 射於投影透鏡6 7。亦就是實現黑色顯示。另一方面,當施 電場於各圖素電極來驅動液晶層66成爲接通時,反射型 液晶元件6 1入射光的偏光狀態會被旋轉且在反射基板65 被反射。該時,所反射之光,將如圖8 (B)所示,會通過 第2偏光板(檢光器)6 2 b,並經由投影透鏡6 7來放大投影 於未圖示的影幕上。 將以液晶層66之傾斜角爲85度時爲例來加以說明。作 爲具有傾斜軸相位差板63的特性,將使用基板側角度爲4度 ,表面側角度爲80度,膜面方向之延遲爲約107nm者。將對 於僅包括具有該傾斜軸的相位差板之軸方向的面角度之透射 率變化顯示於圖9。同圖中,縱軸顯示透射率,橫軸顯示極 角度。如同圖所示,極角度爲-55度附近會具有顯示透射率 爲最大的特性。S偏極光係從基板側來入射。 在於使用該相位差板63的實際之系統系,以模擬所獲得 的可見角度特性係如圖10所示,可察明在方位角90°而極角 度15〜20度附近的黑色位準變小。而以對於液晶層66之光入 射角度爲約12度,投影透鏡的F値爲2.4 (該時取入於透鏡的 角度因約爲12度,以致可取進在可見角度時,極角度爲0〜24 度,方位角78〜102度之範圍的光),來投影於影幕時之對比 成爲1000:1,且也不具有左右的對比傾斜,而可成爲均勻之 -26- 1292501 (23) 顯示。又也未觀察到伴隨著表面或界面內部的反射所引起的 干擾現象。 再者,垂直配向具有負之電界質向異性的液晶時之液晶 的傾斜方向,當對於入射偏極光設定爲方位角(45 + 90xn) [但η爲整數角度]時,會令施加電壓於液晶時之亮度成爲最 明亮。但較設定成45度和135度時,設定爲45度和225度,或 45度和3 15度時,黑色位準會降低,因此,更爲理想。 上述光學補償片之延遲係由前述②來定義,而其延遲 Re 1爲107nm。至於上述液晶層的延遲乃由前述③式來定義 ,該時,Re2爲 267nm。Rel 爲 Re2之 0.40倍。 於圖11 (A)〜(G),將顯示Rel/Re2 = 0.13〜0.8時的可 見角度特性圖,該比率値倘若小時,就不具有效果,但過 寺由於反而會變爲不佳,因而,理想爲0.2〜0.5之範圍。又 作成昌之預傾斜角度爲8 5度,液晶之方位角度爲4 5度時, 液晶遲的延遲Re2爲267nm。而在該條件下,具有負的光 學單軸向異性之相位差板的延遲Rel的最適當値爲86nm。 入射光爲P偏極光。 其次,於該第3實施例,將未插入軸方向爲傾斜之相 位差板63時,作爲表示第2的比較例。而其他之光學性配 置係與前述第3實施例及前述第1比較例相同。在於實際地 投影之畫面,觀察到左右方向黑色位準的傾斜現象。而在 對比爲高之處,雖爲7 0 0 : 1,但在對比爲低處則3 0 0 : 1。然 而未觀察到伴隨著表面或界面內部之反射所引起的干擾。 將顯示該第2比較例之可見角度特性於圖1 2。從圖1 2 -27- 1292501 (24) 所示的可見角度特性可察明,當未加電壓於液晶的黑色顯 示時,倘若具有液晶之傾斜角度時,可獲得對比的位置在 於中心部,雖在偏光方向和與其正交方向會有高之對比, 但對於偏光方向,尤其從45度之斜方向來的入射角度之光 ,會使光迅速地洩漏而提高黑色位準,且降低對比。 又在方位角度90度(相當於從斜下方位角270度入射 時)來觀看時,倘若極角度變小時(令光朝斜向入射時) ,可察明對應於方位角之變位而變化黑色位準。該狀況乃 意味著在所投影的畫面上,朝左右方向具有黑色位準的傾 斜。而該現象係在彩色合成時,因三枚之反射型液晶面板 特性不會成一致,使得觀察爲彩色不均勻,且極爲顯著。 而對於該狀態,在於本第3實施例乃使用S偏極光作爲入 射光,在光學上具有負之單軸向異性,且令其朝斜向傾斜的 相位差板63與正交於入射S偏極光之振動方的面成爲平行, 就形成如在圖10之可見角度特性所示,會降低黑色位準,且 提高對比,使得可擴大能獲得對比之角度範圍。 接著,將參照圖13來說明有關本發明之第4實施例。圖 13 (A) , (B)係顯示使用有關本發明之一實施形態的反射 型B?之投影裝置第2實施形態的第4實施例在黑色顯示及白 色顯示時之結構圖。於圖13 (A) , (B),使用本發明第4 實施例的反射型液晶元件之投影裝置70乃配設了從入射光 取出直線偏極光的偏光板72a於入射於反射型液晶元件7 1之 入射光光徑上,又在來自反射型液晶元件7 1的反射光光徑 上,配設了具有軸方向成傾斜構造之相位差板73和第2偏光 -28- 1292501 ' (25) 板(檢光鏡72b。 反射型液晶元件7 1具有成相對向配置的透明基板74和 反射基板75,並具有夾持液晶層76於該等之間。再者,雖未 圖不’在透明基板74對向表面形成有共用電極之透明電極, 而在反射基板75對向表面則形成有對於每一圖素所形成之 MOS電晶體,或TFT等的驅動電路,及反射電極使之成爲複 數個矩陣狀。作爲圖素大小乃形成了例如約ΙΟμιηχΙΟμιη方形 之微小圖素。 作爲構成液晶層76的液晶分子,將使用具有垂直配向型 之負的電介質向異性的向列液晶。而在接觸於液晶層76之透 明基板74及反射基板75之表面,爲了賦予配向於液晶分子而 形成有例如汽相澱積配向之由氧化矽物所形成的配向膜( 未圖示),且對於初始狀態之液晶分子賦予例如傾斜角度 約80〜89度及對於偏光板的偏極光軸爲約45度之兩方位角。 圖13 (Α)係顯示在未施加電場於各圖素電極的狀態下(初 始狀態)會顯示正常黑色(ΝΒ)模態。圖13 (Β)係顯示白 色之模態。 其次,將說明有關本4第實施例之。於圖13 (A) , (Β) ,從未圖示的光源所出射之光,首先由未圖示的彩色分離光 學系分離成RGB之三原色光後,藉由第1偏光板72a來僅取出 P偏極光,而入射於反射型液晶元件7 1。而入射於反射型液 晶元件71的光,將通過液晶層76並由反射基板75上之反射 電極所反射,進而再通過液晶層7 6及透明基板74來出射後 ,藉由軸方向爲傾斜的相位差板73予以調變。而軸方向爲傾 -29- (26) 1292501 斜之相位差板73的光軸,將整理排列所入射之P偏極光會振 動的面內。具有傾斜軸之相位差板73,將使用例如排列在日 本國專利特開平9- 197397號公報或特開2000-32 1576號公報所 揭示的碟狀液晶於基板上者等。 通過該相位差板73之P偏極光會入射於第2偏光板(檢光 器)72b。倘若此時,未施加電場於各圖素電極而液晶層76 爲斷路時,入射光的偏光狀態會維持不變之狀態被反射極板 7 5所反射。該時,所反射之光因會在設置於投影透鏡77前的 第2偏光板(檢光器)72b所吸收,以致形成如圖13(A)所示 ,並不會入射於投影透鏡77。亦即實現黑色顯示。另一方面 ,當施加電場於各圖素電極而使液晶層76驅動成接通時,反 射型液晶元件7 1之入射光的偏光狀態會旋轉並在反射極板 75被反射。該時,所反射之光係如圖13 (B)所示,會通 過第2偏光板(檢光器)72b並通過投影透鏡77來放大投影於 未圖示的影幕上。 將以液晶層76之預傾斜角度85度時的狀態爲例來加以說 明。作爲具有傾斜軸之相位差板73的特性,將使用例如基板 側角度爲4度,表面側角度爲80度,膜面方向之延遲爲約 142nm,方位角爲270度者。而入射於相位差板73的光,將從 傾斜角度爲大一側來入射。 圖14 (A)係顯示從在本發明第4實施例之相位差板73的 光學軸I和反射型液晶元件7 1之液晶配向方向Π的平面方向 所看之關係,同圖(D)係顯示從反射型液晶元件7 1及相位 差板73等之剖面方向看第4實施例的結構和入射光振動方向 -30- (27) 1292501 及液晶配向方向等之關係,而同圖(B)係顯示同圖(D) 中的相位差板73之詳結結構。於圖14 (D),所入射於第1偏 光板72a之光,將取出在與紙面成平行之振動面ΙΠ所振動的P 偏極光,而入射於液晶配向方向(液晶方位角45度)Π之 反射型液晶元件7 1。 而在該反射型液晶元件7 1所反射之光,將入射於相位 差板73。該相位差板73係如放大圖示於圖14 (B),當由碟 狀液晶的圓盤狀液晶分子所構成時,該液晶分子係配置成如 7 8所示,又光學軸乃配置成朝箭標記77所示之方向。透射相 位差板73的偏極光,由第2偏光板72b而透射朝與紙面垂直方 向振動之S偏極光。 在於使用該相位差板73的實際的系統系,以模擬所獲得 之可見角度特性系如圖14C所示,可察明會在方位角90度極 角度15〜20度附近的黑色位準變爲小。而以入射至液晶層76 之光的入射角度約12度,投影透鏡之F値2.4 (該時之透鏡取 進角因約爲12度,因而會取進在可見角度極角度爲〇〜24度, 方位角78〜102度範圍之光)來投影於影幕時的對比成爲約 1000:1且可顯示無左右之對比傾斜的均勻顯示。又也未觀察 到伴隨著表面或界面內部之反射所引起的干擾現象。 接著,將參照圖1 5來說明有關本發明第5實施例。圖 1 5 (D)係顯示使用本發明一實施形態之反射型液晶元件的 投影裝置之第5實施例的主要部分結構圖。同圖 (D)中 ,與圖13及圖14 (D)之同一結構部分,將附上同一符號 並省略其說明。圖15 (D)所示的實施例,若與第4實施例 -31 - (28) 1292501 相比較時,配設軸成傾斜之相位差板8 1於來自液晶方位角 45度的反射型液晶元件71之反射光至第2偏光板72b的光徑 上處係相同。但相位差板8 1的光學軸在圖1 5 (A)以I顯示 ,且其構造爲如同圖(B)以82所示,光學軸從表面側朝 向基板側方向之處,及如碟狀液晶的圓盤狀液晶分子8 3的 排列方式具有相異之處,則與第4實施例有所不同。 在此,將以液晶層76之預傾斜角度爲8 5度時爲例來加 以說明。而作爲具有傾斜軸的相位差板8 1之特性,將使用 例如光出射側角度爲8 0,光入射側角度爲4度,膜面方向 的延遲爲約10 7nm者。於本實施例,入射於相位差板81之 光係從傾斜爲小一側來入射。 而使用該相位差板8 1的實際之系統系中,以模擬所獲 得的可見角度特性係如圖15 (C)所示,在方位角90度極角 度15〜2 0度附近之對比可看到有增進若干,而投影於影幕 時的對比爲約650: 1,且未看到左右不均勻或干擾條紋。 接著,將參照圖1 6來說明有關本發明之第6實施例。 圖16(C)係顯示使用本發明一實施形態之反射型液晶元件 之投影裝置之第6實施例的主要部分結構圖。同圖(C)中 ’對於與圖8 (A) , (B)爲相同結構部分,將附上相同 符號並省略其說明。圖16 (C)所示之第6實施例,其特徵 爲:代在第2實施形態之實施例的配設於從前述第3實施例

2b係如圖16 (C)所示,僅讓振動方向爲平行於紙面方 向的P偏極光通過。 反射型液晶元件6 1之液晶配向方向係在圖1 6 (A)以 VI所示之方位角度225度,而相位差板86的光軸係在同圖 (A)以I來顯示。至於軸爲傾斜之相位差板8 6係令光學軸 如在圖1 6 (C)以8 7所示,從表面側朝向基板側方向,而 作爲其特性,將使用例如光出射側角度爲4度,光入射側 角度爲80度,膜面方向的延遲爲約l〇7nm者。 而在使用該相位差板8 6之實際的系統系中,由模擬所 獲得之可見角度特性係如圖1 6 (B)所示,完全未看到增 進在方位角度90度角度15〜20度附近的對比,而投影於影 幕時之對比爲約2 0 : 1。但並未看到左右不均勻或干擾條紋 〇 接著,將參照圖1 7來說明有關本發明之第7實施例。 圖1 7 (C)係顯示使用本發明一實施形態之反射型液晶元件 的投影裝置第7實施例的主要部分結構圖。同圖(C)中, 對於與圖1 6 (C)爲相同結構部分,將附上相同符號並省 略其說明。圖17 (C)所示之第7實施例,若與前述第6實 施例相比較時,有關配設軸爲傾斜的相位差板9 1於來自液 晶方位角225度之反射型液晶元件61的反射光至第2偏光板 6 2b之光徑上之處爲相同,但排列在圖17 (A)以V所示之 -33- (30) 1292501 相位差板的相位差板9 1之光學軸,及該如碟狀液晶之圓盤 狀液晶分子的方式,則與第6實施例有所不同。 在此,軸爲傾斜之相位差板9 1係令光學軸成如在圖1 7 (C)以92所示,從表面側朝向基板側方向,又作爲其特性 ,有關使用例如光出射側角度爲4度,光入射側角度爲8 0 度,膜面方向的延遲爲約107 nm之處,則與第6實施例相位 板86相同,但對相位差板86之方位角爲270度,而在本相位 差板91的方位角爲90度之處有所相差異。 而在使用該相位差板9 1的實際之系統系中,由模擬所獲 得的可見角度特性係如圖17 (B)所示,在方位角90度極角 度15〜20度附近的對比幾乎看不到有所增進,而投影於影幕 時之對比雖爲約5 :1,但並未看到左右的不均勻或干擾條紋 〇 接著,將參照圖18來說明有關本發明之第8實施例。圖 1 8 (C)係顯示使用本發明一實施形態之反射型液晶元件的 投影裝置之第8實施例的主要部分結構圖。同圖 (C)中 ,對於與圖1 4 (D)爲相同結構部分,將附上相同符號並 省略其說明。圖18 (C)所示的第8實施例,其特徵爲:替 代在有關第2實施形態之實施例的圖14所示之第4實施例的 相位差板73,而配設相位差板95之處。該相位差板95係令 光學軸如在圖18 (C)所以96所示,從表面側(光入射側) 朝向基板側(光出射側),又作爲其特性係使用例如基板 側角度爲80度,表面側角度爲4度,膜面方向的延遲爲約 1 0 7 n m者’而入射至相位差板9 5之光係與相位差板7 3有所 -34- 1292501 (31) 不同’而是從傾斜角度爲小之一側來入射。 圖18 (A)係顯示相位差板95之光學軸I和反射型液晶 元件7 1的液晶配向方向Π之關係。在使用該相位差板95的 實際之系統系中,由模擬所獲得的可見角度特性係如圖1 8 (B)所示,在方位角90度極角度15〜20度附近可見到有增 進對比,而投影於影幕時之對比爲約600:1,且未看到左右 之不均勻或干擾條紋。 接著,將參照圖19來說明有關本發明之第9實施例。圖 1 9 (C)係顯示使用本發明一實施形態之反射型液晶元件的 投影裝之第9實施例的主要部分結構圖。同圖 (〇中, 對於與圖1 8 (C)爲相同結構部分,將附上相同符號並省 略其說明。圖19 (C)所示之第9實施例,若與有關第2實 施形態的實施例之圖1 8所示的第8實施例相比較時,其特 徵爲:替代在第8實施例所使用之反射型液晶元件7 1,而 使用反射型液晶元件6 1之處。除此之外的結係與第8實施 例相同。 圖1 9 (A)係顯示該第9實施例的連接器95之光學軸I和 反射型液晶元件6 1的液晶配向方向VI之關係。而在使用 該相位差板95的實際之系統系中,由模擬所獲得的可見角 度特性係如圖1 9 (B)所示,可看到有增進在方位角度9 0 度極角度15〜20度附近之對比,至於投影於影幕時的對比 係與第8實施例相同之約600:1,且未看到左右之不均勻或 干擾條紋。 將以上之第1至第9實施例和第1比較例的各特性及所 -35- (32) 1292501 獲得之性能予以聚集在一起顯示於圖2 0。於同圖中,C R 爲反差比 (Contrast Ratio :對比度係數),亦即,表示 白色顯不和黑色顯不的売度比率。又偏光板角度係令反射 型液晶元件之入射平面作爲X軸和Y軸的平面時,且以水 平方向之X軸作爲基準朝反時針方向旋轉作爲正的角度, 並使入射光爲直線偏極光時,在元件面上從X方向計算包 括該振動方向之面元件所形成之角的角度者。因此,從 方位角270度方向(從斜下方)所入射之P偏極光時,因 光會與入射面成平行振動,因而與X軸所形成之角度,亦 就是偏極光面角度會成爲90°。 圖2 1係顯示軸爲傾斜的相位差板和偏光板及入射光之 各例子。圖21 (A)〜(E)中,相位差板101係顯示前述的 第1〜第9實施例之相位差板53,63,73,81,86,91,95 的任何之一,而以模式性地顯示令碟狀液晶分子在膜面 厚度方向成逐漸傾斜的分子排列。 亦即,相位差板 1 〇 1 (5 3,6 3,7 3,8 1,8 6,91,9 5) 係其光學軸在圖1成平行於紙面,而對於其膜面光學軸成 傾斜,且對應於從膜面算起之厚度,令光學軸的傾斜角 度成爲逐漸變化。再者,偏光板102,104,105,106係相 當於前述之第1偏光板62a或第2偏光板62b,72b。 圖2 1 (A)係顯示配設具有可透射S偏極光特性的偏光 板1 02於相位差板1 0 1之光入射側或光出射側,且光如以 1 0 3所不’形成能以完整地橫過相位差板1 〇 1之碟狀液晶分 子的角度來入射之例子。該第1例係能獲得最理想的反差 -36- (33) 1292501 比(對比度係數)之例子,相當於前述之第3實施例及第4 實施例。又該時之相位差板光學軸係成平行於紙面,而具 有僅能透射S偏極光特的偏光板1 02之透射軸係垂直於紙 面,兩者係互成正交(垂直相交)。 圖21 (B)顯示配設具有可透射S偏極光特性的偏光板 1 04於相位差板1 0 1之光入射側或光出射側,且光如以1 03 所示,形成能以完整地橫過相位差板1 〇 1的碟狀液晶分子 之角度來入射的例子。但在本例係配置偏光板1 04於相位 差板1 〇 1之碟狀液晶分子對於表面大致排列成平行一側之 處,與圖21 (A)所示的第1例有所不同,該第2例係可獲 得理想反差比之例子,相當於前述之第5,第8,第9的實 施例。 又圖21 (C)係顯示配設具有可透射P偏極光特性的偏 光板1 〇 5於相位差板1 0 1之光入射側或光出射側,且光如以 1 03所示,形成能以完整地橫過相位差板1 0 1的碟狀液晶分 子之角度來入射的例子,該第3例係無法獲得充分之反差 比的非理想之例子,相當於前述之第6實施例。 再者,圖21 (D)係顯示配設具有可透射S偏極光或P偏 極光特性的偏光板106於相位差板101之光入射側或光出射側 ,且光以如107所示,形成以無法完整地橫過相位差板101的 碟狀液晶分子之角度來入射的例子。該第4例子爲最不能獲 得反差比之最不理想的例子,相當於前述之第7實施例。 2 1 (E)係顯示配設具有可透射P偏極光特性的偏光板 105於相位差板101之光入射側,且光以如103所示,形成能 -37- (34) 1292501 以完整地橫過相位差板101的碟狀液晶分子之角度來入射的 例子。該第5例係能獲得理想之反差比的例子,相當於前述 之第1,第2的實施例。 如上述,在於上述之第3,第4,第5,第8及第9之實施 例,乃對於相位差板的入射光使用S偏極光,且令在光學性 具有負之單軸向異性並使其成斜向傾斜的相位差板1 0 1 (63 ,73,81,95),作成爲與入射偏極光振動方向成正交之面 形成平行,因而,能使黑色位準降低,且增進對比,使得可 擴大可充分地獲得反差比的角度範圍。 而在以上之實施例,僅記述有關具有傾斜軸的相位差板 結構係在光之入射側和出射側具有不同傾斜角之狀態。但以 下之第10〜第29的實施例,相位差板之結構即使在光的入射 側和出射側形成相同之傾斜角也會顯示良好的狀態。又包括 限制液晶之預傾斜角來聚集第10〜第29的實施例時,就成爲 如圖22所示。再者,爲了比較,甚至對於前述之第2比較例 和第3實施例及第4實施例也表示於圖22。 圖22的第10〜第12實施例係藉由用於彩色分離RGB之三 原色光用的彩色分離手段予以彩色分離光源所出射之光,而 透射第1偏光板來照射於夾持液晶於透明基板和主動矩陣基 板(反射基板)之間所構成的反射型液晶元件。接著,將 對應所要顯示之圖像資料在該反射型液晶元件所調變的光 ,藉由與第1偏光板成正交偏光關係所配置之第2偏光板予以 檢光光後,由投影透鏡來放大投影的具有斜投影光學系( 軸外:〇ff-ax1S)之投影裝置的結構例。具有單軸向異性且其 -38- 1292501 (35) 光學軸朝斜向傾斜之相位差板係插入於反射型液晶元件和 第2偏光板之間,而反射型液晶元件的液晶層預傾斜角度爲 85度,液晶方位角爲45度。至於具有對於反射型液晶元件 會入射P偏極光,第2偏光板能透射S偏極光的結構之處係共 同。各實施例的上述之具有傾斜軸的相位差板特性,雖基板 側(光出射側)之角度,和表面側(光入射側)的角度爲 相同,但構成爲在每一實施例具有不同角度者(50度,40度 或30度)。但有關相位差板之方位角度均作爲270度。 又第13,第14之實施例係相位差板的基板側(光出射側 )和表面側(光入射側)之角度,各成爲10度和70度,或形 成70度和10度之處,與第10〜第12的實施例有所不同。而在 該等第10~第14之實施例均未具有左右的對比傾斜,可顯示 均勻之顯示,也未觀察到干擾條紋。 又如圖22所示,第15〜第26的實施例,在具有上述之斜 投影光學系(軸外)之投影裝置,插入具有單軸向異性而 其光學軸爲朝斜向傾斜的相位差板於第1偏光板和反射型液 晶元件之間,而反射型液晶元件的液晶層之預傾斜角度爲 85度,液晶方位角度爲225度,且入射S偏極光於反射型 液晶元件,第2偏光板雖能透射P偏極光的結構爲共同, 但相位差板之入射側預傾斜角度,延遲及出射側的預傾斜 爲相異。 亦即,於第1 5〜第1 8之實施例,相位差板的入射側預 枓角度和出射側預傾斜角度雖均爲5 0度,但延遲爲互相 相異。又第1 9〜第26之實施例的相位差板的入射側預傾斜 -39- 1292501 · (36) 角度和出射側預傾斜角度雖在各個例子爲相同,但其角 度會在每一實施例具有每10度之不同直至80度爲止。 再者,於第27〜第29的實施例,相位差板之入射側預 傾斜角和出射側預傾斜角均爲7 0度成相同,但反射型液 晶元件的液晶層預傾斜角度,在第2 7實施例爲8 0度,在第 28實施例爲83度,在第29實施例爲89度而形成各不同。 而該等狀態之結果,察明當反射型液晶元件的液晶 層預傾斜角度大於89度時,就會在施加電場於圖素電極 時’液晶分子之傾斜方向成爲散亂不同,以致容易產生 圖像缺陷,又在反射型液晶元件的液晶層之預傾斜角度 爲8 3度以下時,即使藉由具有傾斜軸的相位差板來補償, 也不能獲得對比,同時也會產生對比之左右偏差(不均 勻)之情事。因此,反射型液晶元件的液晶層預傾斜角 度理想爲在於83度至89度。 接著,將參照圖2 3來說明有關本發明之第3實施形態 。圖23 (A) , (B)及(C)各顯示本發明第3實施形態的 主要部分之正面圖,縱向剖面圖,側方剖面圖。於同圖 (A)〜(C ),相位差板1 1 1 —方之面乃藉由黏接層1 1 2來黏 住於偏光板1 1 3,而相位差板1 1 1的另一方之面則藉由黏接 層1 1 4來黏住於玻璃層1 1 5背面。而在玻璃層1 1 5表面則形 成有反射防止層1 1 6。又相位差板1 1 1具有碟狀液晶作爲基 本的負之單軸向異性,而其光學軸係如在圖23 (B)成模 示性顯示對於模面成傾斜,且成平行於紙面方向,至於偏 光板1 1 3之透射軸係如圖2 3 (A)所示,作成爲朝圖中的上 -40- 1292501 (37) 下方向,亦即,作成爲對於相位差板1 11之光學軸成正交 〇 依據第3實施形態,由於相位差板1 1 1構成爲與偏光板 1 1 3成,以致不具有多餘的表面反射,因此,具有所謂可 增進透射率之特長。再者,該時,偏光板1 1 3和相位差板 的接合方向能成意義明確地來決定。又在相位差板1 1 1上 下,碟狀液晶之預傾斜角度有相異時,就令傾斜角度大 的一方朝偏光板1 1 3 —方來黏著。再者,理想爲偏光板 1 1 3之透射軸和相位差板1 1 1的光學軸能在於同一面。 又如圖23所示,相位差板1 1 1因其表面藉由實施反射防 止處理之玻璃層115和黏接層114來黏著,因而可減低多餘的 界面反射,其結果,可達成明亮的投影。又可抑制由表面凹 度所引起之折射面而產生不鮮明,歪曲(失真)的像。 圖24(A) , (B)係顯示使用本發明之一實施形態的反 射型液晶元件之投影裝置的第4實施形態在黑色顯示及白色

反射型液晶元件351具有成相對向配置之透明基板354 和反射基板355,並在該等間夾持著液晶層356的結構。再者 -41 - (38) 1292501 ,雖未圖示,在於透明基板354之對向表面,形成有共用電 極的透明電極,而在反射基板3 5 5之對向表面,則形成有在 每一圖素所形成的MOS電晶體,或由TFT等所形成之驅動電 路,及反射電極成爲複數個的矩陣狀。而作爲圖素大小,形 成有例如ΙΟμπιχΙΟμπι四方左右之細微圖素。 而作爲構成液晶層356之反射型液晶元件(晶粒),將 向列液晶作成爲預傾斜角度爲2度〜5度,液晶層的扭轉角度 爲80度〜90度,又透明基板354側之液晶配向方位角度具有在 於190度至200度或280度至290度的範圍內者。再者,於本第 4實施形態,將使用液晶層356之波長規格化延遲爲0.35以上 0.55以下者。 又在接觸於液晶層356之透明基板354及反射基板355的 表面,乃爲了賦予配向於液晶分子而形成有例如摩擦塗敷有 聚醯亞胺樹脂表面之配向膜(未圖示),而賦予初始狀態 的液晶分子有例如約2度〜5度之傾斜角度及對於偏光板的偏 光軸賦予約190度〜200度,或280度〜290度之面方位角。液晶 的扭轉角度係控制爲80度〜90度。 又圖24 (Α)係顯示施加電場於各圖素電極而在液晶層 356驅動成接通時可顯示黑色的狀態’同圖(Β)則在實質 地未施加電場於各圖素電場之狀態(初始狀態)下會顯示 白色的正常白色(MW)之模態,而液晶層356爲斷路。 接著,將參照與圖25—齊來說明有關本第4實施形態。 圖25 (Β)係與相位差板353之光學軸一齊顯示圖24 (Α), (Β)的結構,而與圖24 (A) ’ (Β)爲相同結構部分則附上 -42- 1292501 (39) 同一符號。在圖24 (A) , (B)及圖25 (B),從未圖示之 光源所出射的光,首先,由第1偏光板352a來僅取出p偏極光 而入射於反射型液晶元件351。圖25 (A)之I係顯示由第1偏 光板352a來取出而入射於反射型液晶元件351的P偏極光之 振動方向。 而反射型液晶元件351係令液晶層356的液晶分子配向 方向作成在光入射側爲在圖25 (A)以Π所示之方向,而在 反射面側則作成在圖25 (A)以m所示的方向。入射於反 射型液晶元件351之光,將通過液晶層356且由反射基板 355上的反射電極被反射,並再一次通過液晶層3 56及透明 基板354而出射,且入射於軸方向成傾斜之相位差板35 3。 至於軸方向成傾斜的相位差板353係如在圖25 (A)以 IV所示,整理成與入射之P偏極光所振動的方向成平行於 面內對齊。即,相位差板353之光學軸係設定成與第1偏光 板352a的透射軸形成正交。至於由具有在圖25 (B)以359 所示之光學軸的軸方向爲傾斜之相位差板3 5 3所調變的光 ,會入射於第2偏光板(檢光器)352b。該第2偏光板(檢光 器)352b之檢光方向係在圖25 (A)以V來表示。 當在對於各圖素電極不施加電場,或施加臨限値電壓 的液晶層356形成斷路(OFF)時,所入射之直線偏極光會 在反射型液晶元件35 1被調變,偏光狀態會被旋轉來出射 ’且如圖24 (B)所不’通過第2偏光板(檢光器)352b並經 由透鏡357來放大投影於未圖示的影幕上。另一方面,當 在施加充分之電場於各圖素電極來驅動液晶層356來接通 -43- (40) 1292501 時,入射光的偏光狀態會維持不變而保持原狀下被反射基 板3 5 5所反射。該時,所反射之光會在設置於投影透鏡357 前的第2偏光板(檢光器)352b所吸收,因而,形成如圖24 (A)所示,並不會入射於投影透鏡3 5 7。亦即會顯示黑色 〇 接著,將更詳細地說明有關具有傾斜軸之相位差板353 ,具有傾斜軸的相位差板353係使用例如揭示於美國專利 54 10422號說明書之負的雙折射補償板,或二軸延伸聚合物 薄膜,或揭示於日本國特開平9- 1 97379號公報或特開2000-32 1576號公報的排列碟狀液晶於基板上者等。該相位差板 353之理想形態係如下。 (1) 相位差板353係由透明基板(透明支承體)及配設 於其上面的由具有碟狀構造單位之化合物所形成的光學向異 性層所構成。 (2) 而光學向異性層之碟狀構造單位的圓盤面乃對於 透明支承體面成傾斜,且該碟狀構造單位之圓盤面和透明支 承體面所形成的角度乃朝光學向異性層深度方向成爲有變化 〇 (3) 以⑤式表示之光學補償片的所有延遲的合計絕對 値Re 1,和以⑥式表示之液晶層的延遲絕對値Re2,能滿足 下述④式之關係 0.15xRe2^ Rel ^ 0.6xRe2 ④ -44- (41) 1292501 [但上述光學補償片的延遲係定義爲如下, [nl-(n2+n3)/2] xd ⑤ (上式中,nl,n2,n3係表示上述光學補償片之三軸方向 折射率,且各別依該順序具有小折射率,而d係表示上述 光學補償片的nm換算厚度),至於上述液晶層之延遲係 定義爲如下, {m3- (ml+m2) /2}xd" ⑥ (上式中,ml,m2,m3係表示上述液晶層之三軸方向折射 率,且各別依該順序具有小折射率,而d /係表示上述液晶 層的nm換算厚度)]。 又作爲具有傾斜軸之相位差板353的特性,將使用例如 基板側角度爲4度,表面側角度爲80度,膜面方向的延遲爲 約107nm者。而入射於相位差板353之光係從傾斜角爲大一 側來入射。 在於使用該相位差板3 5 3的實際之系統系,由模擬所 獲得的可見角度特性係如圖25 (C)所示,從方位角90度 方向觀察時,由於黑色有下沈(黑色顯示時之光強度極少 ),因而從極角度10度〜3 0度來觀察(觀看從斜方向入射 光而反射的光)之特性,可察明極佳。於此,爲了顯示黑 色,對於各圖素電極施加5V。再者,於圖25 (C)中,以 -45 - 1292501 (42) 虛線(點線)所畫的圓係極角度爲20度單位之圓,而最小 直徑的圓爲20度(其他之可見角度特圖也爲同樣地來表示 )° 又在本實施形態,在方位角70度〜110度,極角度0度 〜20度的光強度,當施加5V電壓於各圖素電極時,就成爲 如在圖26以VI所示,而在該角度範圍,黑色位準極爲良好 ,且確認由於成斜向來入射光,使得甚至爲斜光學系也可 獲得高的對比。又以入射於液晶層3 5 6之光入射角爲約12 度,投影透鏡3 5 7的F値爲2.4 (該時之透鏡取進角度爲約12 度,因而成爲可取進極角度0度〜24度,方位角78〜102度之 範圍的光)來投影於影幕時之對比爲約900:1,雖有少許 的左右對比之傾斜但均在於實用範圍,且未觀察到伴隨著 表面或界面內部的反射所引起之干擾條紋。 接著,予以去除本第4實施形態的相位差板3 5 3,而其 他光學配置構成爲與圖24之實施形態相同之結構作爲第3 比較例來加以說明。於該第3比較例的實際所投影之畫面 ,雖未觀到伴隨著表面或界面內部的反射引起之干擾現象 , 但可看到左右方向黑色位準的傾斜現象。而形成高的 對比處雖成5 00:1,但低對比處則成爲100:1。 又可見角度特性係形成如圖27所示,即使在充分地施 加電壓於圖素電極之黑色顯示時,基板近旁的液晶分子因 由配向膜之影響而保持成朝水平方向,致使特定方向之對 比變爲不佳。在該第3比較例’因反射側基板係設定成15 度,而透明電極側極板係設定爲11 〇度,因而可察明在方 -46- 1292501 (43) 位角〇〜90度和180度至270度的範圍,黑色位準成爲不佳 〇 又在該第3比較例之方位角70度〜110度,極角度0度 〜2 5度的黑色顯示之光強度係如圖2 8所示’在於極角度爲 小時(成爲非太傾斜時),黑色位準雖爲良好,但隨著 極角度變爲大,尤其在方位角從90度偏轉時(該時,假 定成從270度方向入射光之狀態),使光強度迅速地變大 ,亦即表示雖在進行黑色顯示,但仍然無法獲得良好的黑 色位準。該狀況乃意味著會在所投影之畫面上,具有黑 色位準之傾斜於左右方向,以致成爲在左右具有對比的 傾斜。而該現象,當進行彩色合成時,由於三枚之反射 型液晶面板特性並不能成爲一致,會被觀察爲彩色不均 勻且成爲極爲顯著。 而在本第4實施形態,因如前述插入了相位差板3 5 3於 MTN模態之反射型液晶元件351和第2偏光板3 5 2b之間,使 得較該第3比較例,甚至在於斜光學系時,左右的對比傾 斜雖有少許之情況,但均在實用範圍內,且具有所謂未觀 察到伴隨著表面或界面內部的反射所引起之干擾現象的 特長。 接著,說明有關本發明之第5實施形態。第5實施形態 係與圖24 (A) , (B)爲同樣的光學配置,但作爲反射型 液晶元件351使用了 SCTN模態之反射型液晶元件之處,與 第4實施形態有相異。亦即,作爲液晶層3 5 6的液晶分子, 由向列液晶所構成,而使其預傾斜角度作爲2度〜5度,而 -47- 1292501 (44) 液晶層3 5 6之扭轉角度大致作爲60度。且設定透明基板354 側和反射基板3 5 5側的液晶配向方位角度爲約1 5 0度,約 2 1 0度的任何之一,或形成約3 3 0度和約3 0度。再者,液晶 層3 5 6的波長規格化延遲爲〇·55以上0.65以下。而在接觸於 昌層3 5 6之透明基板3 5 4及反射基板3 5 5的表面,爲了賦予 配向於液晶分子乃形成有摩擦例如塗敷了聚醯亞胺樹脂表 面之配向膜(未圖示)。 於該第5實施形態的實際系統,由模擬所獲得之可見 角度特性係如圖29所示’從方位角90度方向觀察時,因黑 色有下沈(黑色顯示時之光強度極小),而從極角度15度 〜20度方向觀察(觀看從斜向入射光而反射的光)之特性 ,可察明極爲佳。在此’爲了黑色顯示對於各圖素電極施 加了 5 V。 又在本5第實施形態,對於各圖素電極施加5 V時,在 方位角70度〜1 10度,極角度爲〇度〜25度時之光強度係形成 如圖3 0以W所示,且確認在該角度範圍黑色位準極爲良好 ,且由於成傾斜來入射光’因而即使爲斜光學系也可獲得 極高對比。又以入射於反射型液晶元件的光之入射角度爲 約1 2度,投影透鏡3 5 7的F値爲2.4 (該時之透鏡取進角因約 爲12度,使得成爲可取進在可見角度,極角度爲〇〜24度, 方位角爲7 8〜1 0 2度之範圍的光)來投影時的對比爲1 〇 〇 〇 : 1 ,且未具有左右之對比傾斜而極爲佳。又也未觀察到伴隨 著表面或界面內部的反射所引起之千擾現象。 再者,S C TN模態的液晶配向方向係對於入射側偏光 -48- 1292501 (45) 板(圖24之3 5 2a)或出射側偏光板(圖24的3 5 2b),因配 置液晶單元之上下方向成對稱,因而即使相同之扭轉狀態 時,可想到8個方式的配置,但在扭轉角爲60度時,理想 爲設定透明基板側和反射基板側之液晶配向方位角度爲約 1 5 0度,約2 1 0度的任何之一,或形成爲約3 3 0度和約3 0度 。其理由係設定成如此時,可擴廣可見角度之緣故。 再者,在於去除相位差板3 5 3,而其他光學配置構成 爲與第5實施形態相同之第4比較例,實際地投影的畫面乃 成爲在高對比處爲5 0 : 1,但在低對比處則成爲3 0 : 1。 在上述所陳述的第4、第5之實施形態,也可謂與在圖 21 (A)〜(E)所示者相同。但在圖31 (A)〜(E),相位差 板1 〇 1表示前述的相位差板3 5 3,而以模式來顯示碟狀液晶 分子在膜面之厚度方向作成爲逐漸成傾斜之分子排列。 亦即,相位差板10 1 (353)係其光學軸在圖31形成平行 於紙面,光學軸雖對於相位差板膜面成爲傾斜,但以對應於 從膜面起之厚度來使光學軸的傾斜角度形成爲逐漸變化。再 者,偏光板102,104,105,106係相當於前述之第2偏光板 352b ° 以如上述,對於入射於相位差板的入射光使用S偏極光 ,且令在光學性具有負之單軸方向異性而其朝斜向傾斜的相 位差板1 0 1 (353)作成爲與相鄰接之偏光板102,104,105的 透射軸平行,就可降低黑色位準,且增高對比,並可擴廣能 充足獲取反差比(對比度係數)之角度範圍。 再者,本發明並非限定於以上的第4,第5之實施形態者 -49- 1292501 ^ (46) ,也可例如插入光學軸朝斜向傾斜的相位差板於第1偏光板 3 52a和反射型液晶元件351之間。該時,相位差板的光軸係 設定爲與相鄰接的第1偏光板352a之透射軸成正交。又光的 入射方向雖也顯示在實施形態從下面朝上面反射時,亦即, 從方位角270度入射而朝方位角90度方向出射之狀態,但即 使從90度方向照射,或從其他方向照射,只要予以按排液晶 的配向方向和相位差板之光學配置,也可獲得完全同樣的效 果。 〔發明之效果〕 如以上所說明,依據本發明乃具有如下之種種特長者 (1) 將具有單軸向異性而使該光學軸對於膜面朝斜 向傾斜的相位差板插入於偏光手段和反射型液晶元件之間 ,或反射型液晶元件和檢光(分析)手段之間,且設定該 相位差板的光學軸成爲與相鄰接於相位差板之偏光手段或 檢光手段的透射軸,就能令黑色位準降低,因此,可獲得 反差比(對比度係數)爲高之投影圖像(影像),又可擴 廣能獲得充足對比的角度範圍。 (2) 可在不使用偏光射束分裂(PBS)下,因可由偏 光手段和檢光手段來僅分析所預定的P偏極光(偏振光)或 S偏極光,因而較具有PBS之光學系能以廉價來實現明亮的 光學系。 (3) 由於不使用PBS,因而雖需要朝斜向來入射光於 -50- (47) 1292501 反射型液晶元件,但因僅在該入射角度周圍處就可調整爲 最適當,因此,可獲得極爲高之反差比。 (4) 由於構成偏光手段用的偏光板之條件並不嚴格( 寬大),因而可適用各種的偏光板。 (5) 偏光手段和檢光手段係各成獨立,且具有尼科耳 關係,因此,並不會產生投影干擾條紋於畫面,又在彩色分 離後,具有偏光手段和檢光手段,使得並不具有如檢光後, 才進行彩色合成的裝置之在彩色分離和合成系的雙折射或降 低偏極光純度之問題,因此,對於熱等具有穩定性。 (6) 令相位差板與會靠近的偏光手段或檢光手段予 以構成爲固定成一體,以致可消除多餘的表面反射,使 可增進透射率。 (7) 將相位差板構成爲黏住於形成有防止反射層於 表面之背面之構造,以致可減低多餘的界面反射,使得 可實施明亮之投影,又可抑制由表面的凹凸所引起之折射 而產生圖像之模糊不清,歪曲(失真)。 (8) 由於使用了 NW模態的反射型液晶元件時,就對 於入射光使用S偏極光,而插入在光學性具有負的單軸向 異性且光學軸對於膜面朝斜向傾斜之相位差板於偏光手段和 反射型液晶元件之間,或反射型液晶元件和檢光手段之間 ,且設定該相位差板的光學軸與相鄰接於相位差板之偏光手 段或檢光手段的透射軸成正交,以致可降低黑色位準,因此 ,可獲得反差比爲高之投影圖像,又可擴寬能充足地獲取對 比的角度範圍。 -51 - 1292501 (48) (9)因能在低電壓實施可獲得對比之驅動,因而,能 使驅動電晶體變小,且可成爲高析像度。 (1 0)由於色度之電壓依賴性小,以致較低電壓的驅動 成爲可行,且優異於高速響應性,因此,當使用本發明之顯 示元件時,可順暢地進行投影型液晶顯示裝置的動態圖像之 顯示。 (11)本發明的液晶顯示元件,因可使用穩定的液晶配 向製程來生產,因此,能以廉價來供應液晶顯示元件及投影 裝置。 【圖式簡單說明】 圖1 (A) , (B)係本發明之第1及第2的實施形態的方 塊圖。 圖2 (A) , (B)係顯示本發明第1及第2之實施例的投 影裝置之結構圖。 圖3係顯示對於僅包括有圖2所示之具有傾斜軸的相位差

also reveals the MTN mode. These modes are used to display white when no voltage is applied, or when a voltage of a threshold is applied, and a normal (normal) white type of reflective torsion is displayed when a voltage is sufficiently applied. Column liquid crystal display mode (NW mode). However, in these modes, when a sufficient voltage is applied, although the liquid crystal is made vertical and black is displayed, even if a voltage is applied, the liquid crystal molecules are brought close to the horizontal alignment, so that a delay occurs. There is a problem that the so-called black level becomes poor. In order to fully apply the voltage, it is necessary to increase the driving voltage of the active matrix. For this reason, the transistor will become large, which will damage the so-called reflective liquid which can be used as a pixel at a high density. 12-126291 (9) Crystal The advantages of the components. Also added is the problem that the so-called visible angle becomes bad. As explained above, the prior projection devices using the various liquid crystal display elements described above have a length and a length. Further, it has not been proposed to disclose a projection apparatus which can obtain a reflection type liquid crystal display element which is less than 500 Å··1 or more and which hardly causes interference fringes or left and right unevenness, without using PBS. The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object thereof is to provide a projection apparatus using a high contrast (500:1 or more) reflective liquid crystal element which is required as a projection apparatus. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a projection apparatus which does not use PBS and which uses a reflective liquid crystal element which hardly generates interference fringes or left and right unevenness. Furthermore, another object of the present invention is to provide a projection apparatus using a reflective liquid crystal element which can obtain sufficient contrast from a low driving voltage and has a good visible angle in an MTN mode or an SCTN mode. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a projection apparatus that uses a three primary color light transmitting polarizing means obtained by color separating light emitted from a light source by a color separating means, and is incident on a transparent liquid crystal layer. a reflective liquid crystal element formed between the substrate and the reflective substrate, wherein the reflective liquid crystal element is configured to be reflected by the polarizing means in response to the reflected light from the reflective liquid crystal element that is modulated in accordance with image data. A reflective liquid crystal element-13-1292501 (10) of an oblique projection optical system in which a light is detected by a light-detecting means for projecting a light detected by a light-detecting means by a projection lens, and is characterized in that Between the polarizing means and the reflective liquid crystal element, or between the reflective liquid crystal element and the photodetecting means, a uniaxial anisotropy, and an optical axis of the phase difference plate inserted obliquely to the oblique direction of the film surface, and the optical axis of the phase difference plate is set to be orthogonal to the polarizing means adjacent to the phase difference plate or to detect The transmission axis of the light means. In the present invention, a phase difference plate having a uniaxial anisotropy and an optical axis inclined toward an oblique direction of the film surface is interposed between the polarizing means and the reflective liquid crystal element or the reflective liquid crystal element and the photodetecting means, and the phase difference plate is inserted The optical axis is set to be orthogonal to the transmission axis of the polarizing means or the light detecting means adjacent to the phase difference plate, so that it can be reflected by the reflective liquid crystal element, and the black of the reflected light absorbed by the light detecting means can be reduced. Level. Further, it is possible to detect (analyze) a predetermined P-polarized light or S-polarized light by a polarizing means and a light detecting means without using a polarizing beam splitter (PBS). In the above-described reflective liquid crystal device, the neotropic liquid crystal having a negative dielectric polarity has a pretilt angle of 80 to 89 degrees, and the incident polarized light is set to have an azimuth angle of (45 + 90 n) degrees [but η is an integer.

The opposite directions are arranged close to the polarizing means or the light detecting means side. Further, in the present invention, the phase difference plate is configured to be integrally fixed to the polarizing means or the light detecting means which are close to each other, thereby eliminating unnecessary surface reflection, so that the transmittance can be improved. Further, in the present invention, the phase difference plate is formed to adhere to the back surface of the glass plate on which the reflection preventing layer is formed. As a result, redundant interface reflections can be reduced. Further, in another aspect of the present invention, when a reflective liquid crystal element having an NW mode is used, S-polarized light is used for incident light, and a phase difference plate in which an optical axis is inclined toward an oblique direction of the film surface is applied to the polarizing means and the reflective liquid crystal.

[Embodiment] Hereinafter, a projection apparatus using a reflection type liquid crystal element according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1(A) is a block diagram showing a first embodiment of a projection apparatus using a reflection type liquid crystal element according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1(B) is a view showing a reflection type liquid crystal element according to an embodiment of the present invention. A block diagram of a projection apparatus according to a second embodiment. In FIG. 1(A), the light emitted from the light source A1 is color-separated by the color separation optical system 3A which transmits the lens group A2 and is separated into RGB three primary colors by color, and then transmits the polarization means A4 and The phase difference plate A5 is incident on the reflective liquid crystal element A6 formed between the transparent substrate and the active matrix reflective substrate sandwiching the liquid crystal layer. On the other hand, in the reflective liquid crystal element A 6, the light-receiving means A7, which is placed in the crossed Nicols relationship, is incident on the polarizing means A4 in accordance with the light modulated by the image data. When the liquid crystal layer of the reflective liquid crystal element A6 is driven to be turned on by the display image data, the photodetecting means A7 transmits -16 - (13) 1292501 incident light, and when the liquid crystal layer is not driven, the light is detected. Means A 7 will absorb incident light and will not pass. The light passing through the light detecting means A7 is color-synthesized by the color synthesizing optical system A8, and then projected by the projection lens A9 onto a shadow screen (not shown). Further, it is necessary to provide the polarizing means A4 after the color separation optical system A3, and to provide the photodetecting means A7 before the color synthesizing optical system A8. From the relationship of the design optical system, the main polarization adjustment function can be set before the color separation optical system A3, but after the color separation optical system A3, it is necessary to be equipped with a linear deviation that can degrade the color separation optical system A3. The auroral state becomes a good polarizing means A4. In the oblique projection optical system [off-axis], the phase difference plate A5 disposed between the polarizing means A4 and the reflective liquid crystal element A6 has a uniaxial anisotropy, and the optical axis thereof is inclined toward the film surface. The direction is inclined, and the optical axis is orthogonal to the transmission axis of the polarizing means A4 adjacent to the phase difference plate A5. Thus, a bright optical system can be realized at a low cost without using PB S. Next, the second embodiment of the present invention will be described using the block diagram of Fig. 1(B). In FIG. 1(B), the same components as those in FIG. 1(A) are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted. In the second embodiment, the oblique projection optical system (outside the shaft) is inserted with uniaxial anisotropy, and the optical axis thereof is inclined toward the film surface in the oblique direction, and the optical axis is checked. The transmission axis of the optical means 7 is at the position of the orthogonal phase difference plate B1. Therefore, a bright optical system can be realized at low cost without using PBS. (14) 1292501 (Embodiment) Next, various embodiments related to the present invention will be described. 2(A) and 2(B) show a first embodiment of a projection apparatus using a reflective liquid crystal element according to an embodiment of the present invention, and display black display and white display in the first and second embodiments. The structure of the time. In the projection device 50 of the reflective liquid crystal device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the projection optical path of the reflective liquid crystal element is arranged to take a straight line from the incident light in FIGS. 2(A) and 2(B). The first polarized light (polar polarized light) plate 52a for polarized light and the phase difference plate 53 having an inclined structure in the axial direction, and the second polarized light is disposed on the reflected light path from the reflective liquid crystal element 51 Plate (light detector) 52b. The reflective liquid crystal element 51 has a transparent substrate 54 and a reflective substrate 55' disposed opposite each other and has a liquid crystal layer 56 interposed therebetween. Further, although not shown, a transparent electrode having a common electrode is formed on the opposite surface of the transparent substrate 54, and a plurality of matrix forms are formed on the opposite surface of the reflective substrate 55 to form each pixel. The MOS transistor, or a driving circuit such as a TFT, and a reflective electrode. As the pixel size, a small pixel such as ΙΟμπίχΙΟμιη is formed. Further, the liquid crystal molecules which are the liquid crystal layer 56 have a negative alignment type negative dielectric anisotropic nematic liquid crystal. In the surface of the transparent substrate 54 and the reflective substrate 55 which are in contact with the liquid crystal layer 56, an alignment film (not shown) formed of a polyimide film, for example, which is subjected to a rubbing treatment, is formed, and for example, liquid crystal molecules in an initial state are given, for example. An angle of inclination of about 80 to 89 degrees and an azimuth angle of about 45 degrees are given to the polarization axis of the polarizing plate. Further, Fig. 2 (Α) is in a state where no electric field is applied to each of the pixel electrodes (initial-18-1292501 (15) state, the display shows a black normal black (NB) mode, and the liquid crystal layer is in an open state. The same figure (B) shows a white mode, which shows the state in which the liquid crystal layer 56 is driven to be turned on. Next, the action related to the present embodiment will be described in Fig. 2 (A), (B), never First, the light emitted from the light source shown in the figure is first taken out by the first polarizing plate 52a, and then modulated by the phase difference plate 53 whose axis direction is inclined, and is incident on the reflective liquid crystal element 51. The optical axis of the slanted phase difference plate 53 is arranged in the plane in which the P-polarized light is oscillated. The phase difference plate 53 having the slanting axis is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 9-119397 or The disk-shaped (circular) liquid crystal of the publication No. 2000-321576 is placed on a substrate, etc. The light incident on the reflective liquid crystal element 51 passes through the liquid crystal layer 56 and is reflected by the reflective electrode on the reflective substrate, and further passes through the liquid crystal. The layer 56 and the transparent substrate 54 are emitted and incident on the second polarizing plate. [Detector or Photodetector] 52b ° Here, if the liquid crystal layer 56 is disconnected without applying an electric field to each of the pixel electrodes, the polarized state of the incident light remains unchanged as it is on the reflective substrate 55. It is reflected. At this time, the reflected light is absorbed by the second polarizing plate (photodetector) 52b disposed in front of the projection lens 57, and thus becomes as shown in Fig. 2(A), and is not incident on the light. The projection lens 57. That is, the black display is realized. On the other hand, when an electric field is applied to each of the pixel electrodes to drive the liquid crystal layer 56 to be turned on, the incident light of the reflective liquid crystal element 51 is polarized. It is rotated and reflected on the reflecting plate 55. At this time, the reflected light is formed as shown in Fig. 2(B), and passes through the second polarizing plate (photodetector) 52b and via -19-1292501 (16). The projection lens 57 is enlarged and projected onto a shadow screen (not shown). The pre-tilt angle of the liquid crystal layer 56 is exemplified as an example. As a characteristic of the phase difference plate 53 having an inclined axis, For example, the angle on the substrate side is 4 degrees, and the surface side angle is 80 degrees. Only this has a tilt axis. The change in transmittance measured by the optical system in which the phase difference plate 53 is inserted in the orthogonally polarized state in which the first polarizing plate 52a and the second polarizing plate (lighting mirror) 52b are placed is shown in Fig. 3. The axis shows the transmittance, and the horizontal axis shows the polar angle. As shown in the figure, the transmittance characteristic shows the maximum near the pole angle of -60 degrees and the smallest at around 35 degrees. The actual system system using the phase difference plate 5 3 The visible angle characteristic obtained by the simulation is as shown in Fig. 4. At the azimuth angle of 90 degrees, it can be seen that the black level near the pole angle of 15 to 20 degrees becomes small. [Fig. 4, the dotted line The circle is a 20 degree unit with a polar angle, and the circle with the smallest diameter shows a pole angle of 20 degrees: (the visible angle characteristic map below is also shown in the same). Let the angle of the light incident on the liquid crystal layer 56 be about 12 degrees, and the F 値 of the projection lens be 2 · 4 (the angle of the lens taken in this state is about 12 degrees, and thus, in the visible angle, Can be taken into the polar angle 0 to 24 degrees, the azimuth angle of 2 5 8~2 7 2 degrees of light) to project on the screen, the contrast is about 6 5 0 : 1 and there is no left and right contrast tilt (left and right uneven ), and can form a uniform display. No interference phenomena accompanying the inside of the surface or (interface) interface were observed. Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The structure of the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in Fig. 2. However, as the phase difference plate 53 having the tilt axis, for example, the angle of the substrate side is 1 〇, and the angle of the surface side is -20 - 1292501. (17) Where the degree is 70 degrees, there are differences. The visible angle characteristic of this embodiment is as shown in Fig. 5, and the visible angle of the azimuth direction of the black level near the angle of 10 degrees in the azimuth angle of 90 degrees can be observed. And when the projection is on the screen, the contrast is about 600:1, and there is no contrast between the left and right sides to become uniform, and no interference phenomenon caused by the reflection inside the surface or the (interface) interface is observed. When the phase difference plate 53 which is inclined in the axial direction is not inserted, the first comparative example will be described, and the difference between the first comparative example and the second embodiment will be described. Further, the structure of the first comparative example is the same as that of Fig. 2 except that the phase difference plate 53 is not provided. In the first comparative example, the tilt phenomenon of the black level in the left-right direction can be seen on the surface of the actual projection. The contrast is 700:1, but the contrast is 300:1. Interference phenomena accompanying surface or internal reflections of the interface were also observed. The visible angle characteristics of this first comparative example will be shown in Fig. 6. The visible angle characteristic of Fig. 6 shows that when the black display of the liquid crystal is not applied, if the pretilt angle (degree) of the liquid crystal is present, the position at which the contrast can be obtained lies in the center portion, although it is in the polarization direction and orthogonal. The contrast in the direction of the polarization direction is high, but especially from the incident angle of the oblique direction light of 45 degrees in the polarization direction, the light leaks rapidly, so that the black level is raised and the contrast is lowered. When viewing from the portion where the azimuth angle of light incidence is 90° (corresponding to the state of light incident from the obliquely oblique direction and reflected from the obliquely upward direction), it can be observed that the polar angle becomes small (when incident light is obliquely), The black level that can be obtained corresponding to the azimuthal position has a change. This means that on the projected picture, there is a black level tilt in the left-right direction, so that there is a contrasting tilt on the left and right sides -21 - (18) 1292501. This phenomenon is observed in the case of color synthesis, and the characteristics of the reflective liquid crystal panel are inconsistent due to inconsistencies in color, and are extremely remarkable. Furthermore, Figure 7 shows the focus of the visible angle characteristics. As shown in the figure, usually (on-axis: on axis) is perpendicular to incident light and is emitted vertically, so the characteristics of the central portion of the circle are extremely important, but when it is off-axis, the light is incident obliquely, so that the portion Features become important. Generally, the incident light is supposed to be parallel light, but in any case it is irradiated with concentrated light so that the light is irradiated in a (reverse) conical shape. The angle of enlargement of the cone is referred to as the cone angle, and the range characteristics of the light of the angle become of importance. For example, when the cone angle is 15 degrees and the outside of the axis is outside, the center of the light is at a pole angle of 0 degrees (just at the center). Therefore, if the cone angle is included, the pole angle is 15 degrees (radius 15). It will become an important part of the circle. Considering, for example, the state of incident light at a polar angle of 16 degrees (16 degrees from vertical) from the azimuth angle of 270°, the reflected light will be centered at 90 degrees azimuth and 16 degrees from the polar angle. The range within the ellipse shown. From this point of view, it can be seen that in the present embodiment, the black portion of the portion is good. As described above, according to the second embodiment described above, since the optical system is bright without using the PBS, an inexpensive optical system can be realized, and although it is necessary to obliquely incident light to the element, it can be adjusted only around the incident angle. The most appropriate situation allows for extremely high contrast. Further, according to the second embodiment, the polarizing plate conditions are not critical, and the polarizing means (first polarizing plate 52a) and the light detecting means (second polarized light) resulting from reflection from the surface or the interface of the reflective liquid crystal element The board 52b) has an independent orthogonal polarization relationship, and therefore, -22- 1292501 (19) does not form a projection interference fringe on the screen. Further, after the color separation, there is a polarizing means and a light detecting means, and color synthesis is performed after the light detection. Therefore, there is no problem of reducing the purity of the polarized light by the birefringence in color separation and color synthesis, so that Heat is a stable feature. However, in the first and second embodiments described above, the phase difference plate 53 having the uniaxial anisotropy which is inclined obliquely is parallel to the incident P-polar vibration surface, so that the retardation plate 53 is delayed ( The range of the product of the refractive index difference and the film thickness becomes narrow, and the visible angle characteristic which can be obtained becomes narrow. Therefore, in the third embodiment to be described below, the incident polarized light is used as the S-polarized light, and the phase difference plate having the uniaxial anisotropy inclined in the oblique direction is formed to be positive with the incident S-polar vibrating surface. The intersection faces form a parallel. Hereinafter, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 8 . Figs. 8(A) and 8(B) are views showing the configuration of a third embodiment of a projection apparatus for a reflective liquid crystal device according to an embodiment of the present invention in black display and white display. 8(A) and (B), a projection device 60 using a reflection type liquid crystal element according to a third embodiment of the present invention is disposed on the incident light path of the reflective liquid crystal element 61, and is disposed from the incident light. The first polarizing plate 62a having a linearly polarized light and the phase difference plate 63 having a structure in which the axial direction is inclined is further provided with a second polarizing plate (light detecting mirror) on the optical path of the reflected light from the reflective liquid crystal element 61. 62b. The reflective liquid crystal element 61 has a structure in which a transparent substrate 64 and a reflective substrate 6 5 ' are disposed opposite each other with a thin layer ό 6 interposed therebetween. Further, although not shown, a transparent electrode having a common electrode is formed on the opposite surface of the transparent substrate 64, and a pattern formed on the opposite surface of the reflective plate 65 is formed in -23 - 1292501 (20). The MO S transistor, or a driving circuit such as a TFT, and the reflective electrode have a plurality of matrix shapes. As the pixel size, a small pixel such as ΙΟμιηχΙΟμιη is formed in a square shape. Further, as the liquid crystal molecules constituting the liquid crystal layer 66, a negative dielectric anisotropic nematic liquid crystal having a vertical alignment type is used. In order to contact the surface of the transparent substrate 64 and the reflective substrate 65 of the liquid crystal layer 66, an alignment film (not shown) formed of ruthenium oxide, for example, by vapor phase deposition, is formed in order to impart alignment to the liquid crystal molecules, and For example, a tilt angle of about 80 to 89 degrees and azimuth angle of about 45 degrees with respect to the polarization axis of the polarizing plate are given. Fig. 8 (Α) shows a normal black (ΝΒ) mode in which black is displayed in a state where an electric field is not applied to each of the pixel electrodes. Fig. 8(B) shows a mode in which white is displayed. Next, the operation of the third embodiment will be explained. In Fig. 8 (Α), (Β), light emitted from a light source (not shown) is first separated into RGB three primary colors by a color separation optical system (not shown), and then taken out by the first polarizing plate 62a. The S-polarized light is then modulated by the phase difference plate 63 which is inclined in the axial direction, and is incident on the reflective liquid crystal element 61. The optical axis of the phase difference plate 63 whose axis direction is inclined is arranged in the plane in which the incident S-polar light is vibrated. The phase difference plate 63 having the slanting axis is used, for example, in the arrangement of the disc-shaped liquid crystal on the substrate, which is disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 9-1 97397 or JP-A No. 2000-32 1576. The ideal form of the phase difference plate 63 is as follows. (1) The phase difference plate 63 is formed of an optically anisotropic layer formed of a transparent substrate (transparent support) and a compound having a dish-like structural unit disposed on the substrate. (2) The disc surface of the disc-shaped structural unit of the optically opposite layer is inclined to the surface of the -242-1292501 (21) transparent support, and the angle formed by the disc surface of the disc-shaped structural unit and the transparent support surface, Will change in the optically opposite layer. (3) The total 所有Rel of all delays of the optical compensation sheet represented by the formula 2, and the absolute 値Re2 of the retardation of the liquid crystal layer represented by the equation 3 can satisfy the relationship of the following formula (formula): 4xRe2^ Rel ^ 1. 0xRe2 Φ [However, the delay of the above optical compensation sheet is defined by the following equation: {nl-(n2+n3) /2}xd 2 (in the above formula, nl, n2 and n3 represent the three axes of the optical compensation sheet described above) The refractive index in the direction, each having a small refractive index in this order, d is the thickness in terms of nm of the optical compensation sheet, and the retardation of the liquid crystal layer is defined by the following formula, { m3 (m 1+m2) /2 } xd' 3 (In the above formula, ml, m2 and m3 represent the refractive index in the triaxial direction of the liquid crystal, and each has a small refractive index in each order, and d ' indicates the thickness in nm of the liquid crystal layer)] . Returning to FIG. 8 again, the light incident on the reflective liquid crystal element 61 is reflected by the reflective electrode on the reflective substrate 65 through the liquid crystal layer 66, and is further emitted through the liquid crystal layer 66 and the transparent substrate 64, and It is incident on the second polarizing plate (light detector) 62b. -25- 1292501 (22) When the liquid crystal layer 66 is disconnected without applying an electric field to each of the pixel electrodes, the polarization of the incident light remains unchanged and is reflected on the reflective substrate 65 in the original state. Since the light reflected at this time is absorbed by the second polarizing plate (photodetector) 62b disposed on the front side of the projection lens 67, it is not incident on the projection lens 6 as shown in FIG. 8(A). 7. That is to achieve a black display. On the other hand, when an electric field is applied to each of the pixel electrodes to drive the liquid crystal layer 66 to be turned on, the polarization state of the incident light of the reflective liquid crystal element 61 is rotated and reflected on the reflective substrate 65. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8(B), the reflected light passes through the second polarizing plate (photodetector) 6 2 b and is enlarged and projected onto the screen (not shown) via the projection lens 67. . The case where the inclination angle of the liquid crystal layer 66 is 85 degrees will be described as an example. As the characteristic having the tilt axis phase difference plate 63, the substrate side angle was 4 degrees, the surface side angle was 80 degrees, and the film surface direction retardation was about 107 nm. The change in transmittance for the plane angle including only the axial direction of the phase difference plate having the tilt axis is shown in Fig. 9. In the same figure, the vertical axis shows the transmittance and the horizontal axis shows the polar angle. As shown in the figure, the polar angle is around -55 degrees and has the characteristic of showing the highest transmittance. The S-polarized light system is incident from the substrate side. In the actual system system using the phase difference plate 63, the visible angle characteristics obtained by the simulation are as shown in FIG. 10, and it can be seen that the black level near the azimuth angle of 90° and the polar angle of 15 to 20 degrees becomes small. . The angle of incidence of light to the liquid crystal layer 66 is about 12 degrees, and the F 値 of the projection lens is 2. 4 (At this time, the angle taken into the lens is about 12 degrees, so that the light can be taken at a visible angle, the polar angle is 0 to 24 degrees, and the azimuth is in the range of 78 to 102 degrees) to be projected on the screen. The contrast is 1000:1, and it does not have the left and right contrast tilt, but can be evenly displayed as -26- 1292501 (23). No interference caused by reflections on the surface or inside the interface was observed. Furthermore, the vertical direction of the liquid crystal tilt direction having a negative electrical boundary isotropic liquid crystal, when the incident polarized light is set to an azimuth angle (45 + 90xn) [but η is an integer angle], the voltage is applied to the liquid crystal The brightness is the brightest. However, when set to 45 degrees and 135 degrees, when set to 45 degrees and 225 degrees, or 45 degrees and 3 15 degrees, the black level will be lowered, so it is more desirable. The retardation of the above optical compensation sheet is defined by the above 2, and the retardation Re 1 is 107 nm. The retardation of the above liquid crystal layer is defined by the above formula 3, and at this time, Re2 is 267 nm. Rel is 0 for Re2. 40 times. In Figure 11 (A) ~ (G), it will show Rel / Re2 = 0. 13~0. At 8 o'clock, the angle characteristic map, if the hour is small, has no effect, but the temple will become poor because of the opposite, so the ideal is 0. 2~0. The scope of 5. When the pretilt angle of Chengchang is 85 degrees and the azimuth angle of the liquid crystal is 45 degrees, the retardation Re2 of the liquid crystal is 267 nm. Under this condition, the most suitable 値 of the retardation Rel of the phase difference plate having a negative optical uniaxial anisotropy is 86 nm. The incident light is P-polarized light. In the third embodiment, when the phase difference plate 63 whose axis direction is inclined is not inserted, the second comparative example is shown. The other optical configurations are the same as those of the third embodiment and the first comparative example described above. In the actual projection screen, the tilt of the black level in the left and right direction is observed. In the case where the contrast is high, it is 7 0 0 : 1, but in the lower case, it is 3 0 0 : 1. However, interference caused by reflections on the surface or inside the interface was not observed. The visible angle characteristic of this second comparative example will be shown in Fig. 12. From the visible angle characteristics shown in Fig. 1 2 -27- 1292501 (24), it can be seen that when the voltage is not applied to the black display of the liquid crystal, if the tilt angle of the liquid crystal is obtained, the position at which the contrast can be obtained lies in the center portion, although There is a high contrast between the direction of polarization and the direction orthogonal to it, but for the direction of polarization, especially at an angle of incidence from an oblique angle of 45 degrees, the light is quickly leaked to increase the black level and reduce contrast. Also, when the azimuth angle is 90 degrees (corresponding to the incident from the oblique lower azimuth angle of 270 degrees), if the polar angle becomes small (when the light is incident obliquely), it can be seen that the change corresponding to the azimuth angle changes. Black level. This condition means that there is a black level tilt in the left-right direction on the projected screen. This phenomenon is caused by the fact that the characteristics of the three reflective liquid crystal panels do not coincide when the color is synthesized, so that the color unevenness is observed and is extremely remarkable. On the other hand, in the third embodiment, S-polarized light is used as incident light, and optically has a negative uniaxial anisotropy, and the phase difference plate 63 which is inclined obliquely is orthogonal to the incident S. The faces of the vibrating sides of the aurora become parallel, and as shown by the visible angular characteristics in Fig. 10, the black level is lowered, and the contrast is increased, so that the angle range in which the contrast can be obtained can be expanded. Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Figs. 13(A) and (B) are views showing the configuration of a fourth embodiment of the second embodiment of the projection apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention in the case of black display and white display. 13(A) and (B), a projection device 70 using a reflective liquid crystal element according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention is provided with a polarizing plate 72a for taking out linearly polarized light from incident light, and is incident on the reflective liquid crystal element 7. In the incident light path of the first light, a phase difference plate 73 having a tilted structure in the axial direction and a second polarized light -28-1292501 ' (25) are disposed on the reflected light path from the reflective liquid crystal element 71. Plate (light-receiving mirror 72b. The reflective liquid crystal element 71 has a transparent substrate 74 and a reflective substrate 75 disposed opposite each other, and has a liquid crystal layer 76 interposed therebetween. Further, although not illustrated, it is transparent. A transparent electrode having a common electrode is formed on the opposite surface of the substrate 74, and a MOS transistor formed for each pixel or a driving circuit such as a TFT is formed on the opposite surface of the reflective substrate 75, and the reflective electrode is made plural. As a pixel size, a small pixel of, for example, about ΙΟμιηχΙΟμιη square is formed. As a liquid crystal molecule constituting the liquid crystal layer 76, a negative alignment dielectric having a vertical alignment type is used, and in contact with The surface of the transparent substrate 74 and the reflective substrate 75 of the crystal layer 76 is formed with an alignment film (not shown) formed of a ruthenium oxide, for example, in a vapor phase deposition direction, in order to impart alignment to the liquid crystal molecules, and is in an initial state. The liquid crystal molecules impart, for example, an inclination angle of about 80 to 89 degrees and an azimuth angle of about 45 degrees with respect to the polarization axis of the polarizing plate. Fig. 13 (Α) shows a state in which an electric field is not applied to each of the pixel electrodes (initial state) The normal black (ΝΒ) mode will be displayed. Figure 13 (Β) shows the white mode. Secondly, the fourth embodiment will be explained. Figure 13 (A), (Β), never shown The light emitted from the light source is first separated into three primary color lights of RGB by a color separation optical system (not shown), and then only the P polarized light is taken out by the first polarizing plate 72a, and is incident on the reflective liquid crystal element 71. The light incident on the reflective liquid crystal element 71 passes through the liquid crystal layer 76 and is reflected by the reflective electrode on the reflective substrate 75, and then passes through the liquid crystal layer 76 and the transparent substrate 74, and is then inclined by the axial direction. The difference plate 73 is modulated. In order to tilt the optical axis of the oblique phase difference plate 73, the optical axis of the inclined phase difference plate 73 will be arranged in the plane in which the incident P-polar light will vibrate. The phase difference plate 73 having the tilt axis will be used, for example, in the country of Japan. The disc-shaped liquid crystal disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 9-197397 or JP-A-2000-32 1576 is placed on a substrate. P-polarized light passing through the retardation plate 73 is incident on the second polarizing plate (detector) 72b. If, at this time, no electric field is applied to each of the pixel electrodes and the liquid crystal layer 76 is open, the state in which the polarization state of the incident light remains unchanged is reflected by the reflective plate 75. At this time, the reflected light Since it is absorbed by the second polarizing plate (photodetector) 72b provided before the projection lens 77, it is formed so as not to be incident on the projection lens 77 as shown in Fig. 13(A). That is, black display is achieved. On the other hand, when an electric field is applied to each of the pixel electrodes to cause the liquid crystal layer 76 to be turned on, the polarization state of the incident light of the reflective liquid crystal element 71 is rotated and reflected by the reflective plate 75. At this time, the reflected light is enlarged and projected onto the shadow screen (not shown) by the second polarizing plate (photodetector) 72b and by the projection lens 77 as shown in Fig. 13(B). A state in which the liquid crystal layer 76 has a pretilt angle of 85 degrees will be described as an example. As the characteristics of the phase difference plate 73 having the tilt axis, for example, the substrate side angle is 4 degrees, the surface side angle is 80 degrees, the film surface direction retardation is about 142 nm, and the azimuth angle is 270 degrees. On the other hand, the light incident on the phase difference plate 73 is incident from the side where the inclination angle is large. Fig. 14 (A) shows the relationship between the optical axis I of the phase difference plate 73 of the fourth embodiment of the present invention and the liquid crystal alignment direction 反射 of the reflective liquid crystal element 71, as shown in the same figure (D). The relationship between the structure of the fourth embodiment and the incident light vibration direction -30-(27) 1292501 and the liquid crystal alignment direction are shown in the cross-sectional direction of the reflective liquid crystal element 71 and the phase difference plate 73, and the like, and the same figure (B) The detailed structure of the phase difference plate 73 in the same figure (D) is shown. In Fig. 14(D), the light incident on the first polarizing plate 72a picks up the P-polarized light that is vibrated in the vibrating surface parallel to the plane of the paper, and enters the liquid crystal alignment direction (the liquid crystal azimuth angle is 45 degrees). Reflective liquid crystal element 71. The light reflected by the reflective liquid crystal element 71 is incident on the phase difference plate 73. The phase difference plate 73 is shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 14(B). When the disk-shaped liquid crystal molecules are composed of disc-shaped liquid crystal molecules, the liquid crystal molecules are arranged as shown in FIG. Point the arrow as indicated by 77. The polarized light of the transmission phase difference plate 73 is transmitted by the second polarizing plate 72b to the S-polarized light that vibrates in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the paper. In the actual system using the phase difference plate 73, the visible angle characteristics obtained by the simulation are as shown in Fig. 14C, and it can be seen that the black level near the azimuth angle of 90 degrees is 15 to 20 degrees. small. The incident angle of the light incident on the liquid crystal layer 76 is about 12 degrees, and the projection lens is F値2. 4 (At this time, the lens take-up angle is about 12 degrees, so it will take the light at the visible angle of the angle 〇~24 degrees, the azimuth angle of 78~102 degrees) to contrast when projected on the screen. 1000:1 and can display a uniform display without contrasting left and right. No interference caused by reflections on the surface or inside the interface was observed. Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 15.

The reflected light of the element 71 is the same as the optical path of the second polarizing plate 72b. However, the optical axis of the phase difference plate 8 1 is shown by I in Fig. 15 (A), and is configured as shown by 82 in Fig. (B), where the optical axis is from the surface side toward the substrate side, and as a dish. The arrangement of the discotic liquid crystal molecules 8 3 of the liquid crystal is different from that of the fourth embodiment. Here, the case where the pretilt angle of the liquid crystal layer 76 is 85 degrees will be described as an example. Further, as the characteristics of the phase difference plate 81 having the tilt axis, for example, the light exit side angle is 80, the light incident side angle is 4 degrees, and the film surface direction retardation is about 107 nm.

Fig. 17 (C) is a view showing a configuration of a main part of a seventh embodiment of a projection apparatus using a reflection type liquid crystal element according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the same figure (C), the same components as those in Fig. 16 (C) will be denoted by the same reference numerals and their description will be omitted. In the seventh embodiment shown in Fig. 17 (C), when compared with the sixth embodiment, the phase difference plate 91 which is inclined with respect to the arrangement axis is used for the reflection type liquid crystal element 61 from the liquid crystal azimuth angle of 225 degrees. The reflected light is the same on the optical path of the second polarizing plate 62b, but is arranged in the optical axis of the phase difference plate 91 of the phase difference plate of -33-(30) 1292501 shown by V in Fig. 17(A). The manner of the discotic liquid crystal molecules such as the discotic liquid crystal is different from that of the sixth embodiment.

In the actual system system using the phase difference plate 91, the visible angle characteristics obtained by the simulation are as shown in Fig. 17(B), and the comparison in the vicinity of the azimuth angle of 90 degrees is 15 to 20 degrees. Although there is no improvement, the contrast when projected on the screen is about 5:1, but the left and right unevenness or interference fringes are not seen. Next, the eighth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. . Fig. 18 (C) is a view showing a configuration of a main part of an eighth embodiment of a projection apparatus using a reflection type liquid crystal element according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the same figure (C), the same components as those in Fig. 14 (D) will be denoted by the same reference numerals and their description will be omitted. The eighth embodiment shown in Fig. 18(C) is characterized in that a phase difference plate 95 is provided instead of the phase difference plate 73 of the fourth embodiment shown in Fig. 14 of the second embodiment. Where. The retardation plate 95 is such that the optical axis is as shown in FIG. 18(C), 96, from the front side (light incident side) toward the substrate side (light exit side), and as its characteristic, for example, the substrate side angle is 80. Degree, the surface side angle is 4 degrees, the film surface direction retardation is about 107 nm 'the light phase incident on the phase difference plate 9.5 is different from the phase difference plate 7 3 -34 - 1292501 (31) different' Instead, it is incident from one side of the tilt angle. Fig. 18(A) shows the relationship between the optical axis I of the phase difference plate 95 and the liquid crystal alignment direction 反射 of the reflective liquid crystal element 71. In the actual system system using the phase difference plate 95, the visible angle characteristic obtained by the simulation is as shown in Fig. 18 (B), and an improvement contrast can be seen in the vicinity of the azimuth angle of 90 degrees and the angle of 15 to 20 degrees. The contrast when projected on the screen is about 600:1, and no unevenness or interference fringes are seen. Next, a ninth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Fig. 19 (C) is a view showing the configuration of a main part of a ninth embodiment of a projection apparatus using a reflective liquid crystal element according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the same figure, the same components as those in Fig. 18 (C) will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. The ninth embodiment shown in Fig. 19(C) is related to the second embodiment. In comparison with the eighth embodiment shown in Fig. 18 of the embodiment, it is characterized in that instead of the reflective liquid crystal element 171 used in the eighth embodiment, the reflective liquid crystal element 61 is used. The other structure is the same as that of the eighth embodiment. Fig. 1 (A) shows the relationship between the optical axis I of the connector 95 of the ninth embodiment and the liquid crystal alignment direction VI of the reflective liquid crystal element 61. In the actual system system using the phase difference plate 95, the visible angle characteristic obtained by the simulation is as shown in Fig. 19 (B), and it can be seen that there is an improvement in the azimuth angle of 90 degrees near the pole angle of 15 to 20 degrees. In contrast, the contrast when projected on the screen is about 600:1 as in the eighth embodiment, and the left and right unevenness or interference fringes are not seen. The first to ninth embodiments are compared with the first one. The characteristics of the example and the performance obtained by -35- (32) 1292501 are grouped together and shown in Figure 20. In the same figure, CR The contrast ratio (Contrast Ratio), that is, the ratio of the whiteness indicating the difference between the white color and the black color. When the angle of the polarizing plate is such that the incident plane of the reflective liquid crystal element is the plane of the X-axis and the Y-axis, And when the X-axis in the horizontal direction is used as a reference to rotate in a counterclockwise direction as a positive angle, and the incident light is linearly polarized, the angle of the angle formed by the surface element including the vibration direction is calculated from the X direction on the element surface. Therefore, when P-polarized light is incident from the azimuth angle of 270 degrees (from obliquely downward), the light will vibrate in parallel with the incident surface, so that the angle formed by the X-axis, that is, the angle of the polarized surface will become Fig. 2 is an example of a phase difference plate, a polarizing plate, and incident light in which the axis is inclined. In Figs. 21(A) to (E), the phase difference plate 101 displays the first to ninth embodiments described above. In any one of the phase difference plates 53, 63, 73, 81, 86, 91, 95, the molecular arrangement is such that the discotic liquid crystal molecules are gradually inclined in the thickness direction of the film surface. Poor board 1 〇1 (5 3,6 3,7 3,8 1,8 6,91,9 5) The optical axis is parallel to the paper surface in Fig. 1, and is inclined to the optical axis of the film surface, and corresponds to the thickness from the film surface, so that the tilt angle of the optical axis becomes Further, the polarizing plates 102, 104, 105, 106 correspond to the first polarizing plate 62a or the second polarizing plates 62b, 72b. Fig. 2 1 (A) shows that the display has a transmissive S-polar light. The characteristic polarizing plate 102 is on the light incident side or the light exiting side of the phase difference plate 110, and the light does not form a dished liquid crystal molecule which can completely traverse the phase difference plate 1 〇1. The angle to the incident example. The first example is an example in which the optimum contrast -36-(33) 1292501 ratio (contrast factor) can be obtained, which corresponds to the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment described above. Further, the phase difference plate optical axis is parallel to the paper surface, and the transmission axis of the polarizing plate 102 having only the S-polarized light is perpendicular to the paper surface, and the two are orthogonal to each other (vertically intersecting). 21(B) shows a polarizing plate 104 having a transmissive S-polar light characteristic disposed on a light incident side or a light exit side of the phase difference plate 110, and the light is formed as shown in FIG. An example in which the liquid crystal molecules of the retardation plate 1 〇 1 are incident at an angle. However, in this example, the arrangement of the polarizing plate 104 on the phase difference plate 1 〇1 is substantially parallel to the surface, and is different from the first example shown in FIG. 21(A). The second example is an example in which an ideal contrast ratio can be obtained, and corresponds to the fifth, eighth, and ninth embodiments described above. Further, Fig. 21(C) shows that the polarizing plate 1 〇 5 having the P-polarizing light transmitting property is disposed on the light incident side or the light exiting side of the phase difference plate 110, and the light is formed as shown by 1300. The third example is a non-ideal example in which a sufficient contrast ratio cannot be obtained by incident across the angle of the liquid crystal molecules of the phase difference plate 110, and corresponds to the sixth embodiment described above. In addition, FIG. 21(D) shows that the polarizing plate 106 having the S-polarized light or the P-polarized light characteristic is disposed on the light incident side or the light exiting side of the phase difference plate 101, and the light is formed as shown by 107. An example in which the incident is not possible across the angle of the liquid crystal molecules of the phase difference plate 101. This fourth example is the least desirable example of the most incompatible contrast ratio, and corresponds to the seventh embodiment described above. 2 1 (E) shows that the polarizing plate 105 having the P-polarizing light-transmitting property is disposed on the light incident side of the phase difference plate 101, and the light is formed as shown in 103 to form -37-(34) 1292501 to complete An example of incidence across the angle of the liquid crystal molecules of the phase difference plate 101. The fifth example is an example in which an ideal contrast ratio can be obtained, and corresponds to the first and second embodiments described above. As described above, in the third, fourth, fifth, eighth, and ninth embodiments described above, S-polarized light is used for the incident light of the phase difference plate, and the uniaxial anisotropy is negative in optical properties. The phase difference plate 10 1 (63, 73, 81, 95) which is inclined obliquely is formed to be parallel to the surface orthogonal to the direction of the incident polarization of the polarized light, thereby reducing the black level and enhancing Contrast makes it possible to expand the range of angles at which the contrast ratio can be sufficiently obtained. On the other hand, in the above embodiments, only the phase difference plate structure having the tilt axis is in a state in which the light incident side and the exit side have different inclination angles. However, in the following tenth to twenty-ninth embodiments, the structure of the phase difference plate exhibits a good state even when the same oblique angle is formed on the incident side and the outgoing side of the light. Further, when the tenth to twenty-ththth embodiments are limited by limiting the pretilt angle of the liquid crystal, they are as shown in Fig. 22. Further, for comparison, the second comparative example, the third embodiment, and the fourth embodiment are also shown in Fig. 22. In the tenth to twelfth embodiments of FIG. 22, the light emitted from the light source is separated by the color separation means for color separating the three primary colors of RGB, and the first polarizing plate is transmitted to illuminate the liquid crystal on the transparent substrate. A reflective liquid crystal element formed between the active matrix substrate (reflective substrate). Then, the light modulated by the reflective liquid crystal element corresponding to the image data to be displayed is detected by the second polarizing plate arranged in a polarization relationship with the first polarizing plate, and then the projection lens is used. A configuration example of a projection apparatus having an oblique projection optical system (off-axis: 〇ff-ax1S) for enlarging projection. A phase difference plate having a uniaxial anisotropy and a -38 - 1292501 (35) optical axis inclined obliquely is interposed between the reflective liquid crystal element and the second polarizing plate, and the liquid crystal layer pretilt angle of the reflective liquid crystal element At 85 degrees, the liquid crystal azimuth is 45 degrees. The structure in which the P-polarized light is incident on the reflective liquid crystal element and the S-polarized light can be transmitted through the second polarizing plate is common. In the above-described embodiment, the phase difference plate characteristic having the tilt axis has the same angle as the substrate side (light exit side) and the surface side (light incident side), but is configured to have different angles in each embodiment. (50 degrees, 40 degrees or 30 degrees). However, the azimuth angle of the phase difference plate is taken as 270 degrees. Further, in the thirteenth and fourteenth embodiments, the angles of the substrate side (light exit side) and the surface side (light incident side) of the phase difference plate are 10 degrees and 70 degrees, or 70 degrees and 10 degrees, respectively. It is different from the tenth to twelfth embodiments. In the tenth to fourteenth embodiments, the left and right contrast tilts are not displayed, and a uniform display can be displayed, and no interference fringes are observed. Further, as shown in Fig. 22, in the fifteenth to twenty-sixth embodiments, in the projection apparatus having the above-described oblique projection optical system (off-axis), a phase difference having a uniaxial anisotropy and an optical axis inclined obliquely is inserted. The plate is between the first polarizing plate and the reflective liquid crystal element, and the liquid crystal layer of the reflective liquid crystal element has a pretilt angle of 85 degrees, the liquid crystal azimuth angle is 225 degrees, and the incident S is polarized to the reflective liquid crystal element, the second Although the structure in which the polarizing plate can transmit the P-polarized light is common, the pre-tilt angle of the incident side of the phase difference plate, the retardation and the pre-tilt on the exit side are different. That is, in the fifteenth to eighteenth embodiments, the incident side pre-twist angle and the exit side pre-tilt angle of the phase difference plate are both 50 degrees, but the retardations are different from each other. Further, the incident side pretilt of the phase difference plate of the nineteenth to twenty-sixth embodiments is -39 - 1292501. (36) The angle and the exit side pretilt angle are the same in each example, but the angle is in each embodiment. It has a difference of every 10 degrees up to 80 degrees. Further, in the twenty-seventh to twenty-ninth embodiments, the incident side pretilt angle and the exit side pretilt angle of the phase difference plate are all the same at 70 degrees, but the liquid crystal layer pretilt angle of the reflective liquid crystal element is 2 7 The embodiment is 80 degrees, 83 degrees in the 28th embodiment, and 89 degrees in the 29th embodiment. As a result of these states, it is ascertained that when the liquid crystal layer pretilt angle of the reflective liquid crystal element is greater than 89 degrees, the tilt direction of the liquid crystal molecules becomes different when an electric field is applied to the pixel electrode, so that the image is easily generated. Like the defect, when the pretilt angle of the liquid crystal layer of the reflective liquid crystal element is 83 degrees or less, even if it is compensated by the phase difference plate having the tilt axis, the contrast cannot be obtained, and the left and right deviation of the contrast is also generated ( Uneven). Therefore, the liquid crystal layer pretilt angle of the reflective liquid crystal element is desirably 83 to 89 degrees. Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 23. 23(A), (B) and (C) are front elevational views, longitudinal cross-sectional views, and side cross-sectional views, respectively, of a main portion showing a third embodiment of the present invention. In the same figure (A) to (C), the surface of the phase difference plate 1 1 1 is adhered to the polarizing plate 1 1 3 by the adhesive layer 1 1 2, and the other side of the phase difference plate 1 1 1 The surface is adhered to the back surface of the glass layer 1 1 5 by the adhesive layer 1 14 . On the surface of the glass layer 115, an anti-reflection layer 1 16 is formed. Further, the phase difference plate 1 1 1 has a disc-like liquid crystal as a basic negative uniaxial anisotropy, and its optical axis is slanted as shown in FIG. 23(B) to be inclined to the die face and parallel to the paper surface direction. As for the transmission axis of the polarizing plate 113, as shown in Fig. 23 (A), it is formed in the downward direction of the upper -40 - 1292501 (37) in the figure, that is, as the phase difference plate 1 11 The optical axis is orthogonal to each other. According to the third embodiment, since the phase difference plate 11 1 is formed so as to be in contact with the polarizing plate 1 1 3 so as not to have excessive surface reflection, it has a characteristic that the transmittance can be improved. Further, at this time, the joining direction of the polarizing plate 1 13 and the phase difference plate can be determined in a clear manner. Further, when the pre-tilt angles of the disc-shaped liquid crystals are different between the retardation plates 1 1 1 , the one having a large inclination angle is adhered to the polarizing plate 1 1 3 . Further, it is preferable that the transmission axis of the polarizing plate 1 1 3 and the optical axis of the phase difference plate 1 1 1 are on the same surface. Further, as shown in Fig. 23, the phase difference plate 11 is adhered to the surface by the glass layer 115 and the adhesion layer 114 which are subjected to the reflection preventing treatment, so that unnecessary interface reflection can be reduced, and as a result, a bright projection can be achieved. . Further, it is possible to suppress an unsharp, distorted (distorted) image caused by the refractive surface caused by the surface concavity. Figs. 24(A) and (B) are views showing the configuration of a fourth embodiment of a projection apparatus using a reflective liquid crystal device according to an embodiment of the present invention in black display and white display.

On the incident light path of the element 351, a phase difference plate 353 having a tilted structure in the axial direction and a second polarizing plate (photodetector) 352b are disposed on the reflected light path from the reflective liquid crystal element 351. . The second polarizing plate 352b is disposed to have a relationship of orthogonal polarization to the one polarizing plate 352a. The reflective liquid crystal element 351 has a transparent substrate 354 and a reflective substrate 355 which are disposed to face each other, and has a liquid crystal layer 356 interposed therebetween. Further, -41 - (38) 1292501, although not shown, a transparent electrode in which a common electrode is formed on the opposite surface of the transparent substrate 354, and a surface on the opposite surface of the reflective substrate 355 is formed in each The MOS transistor formed by the pixel or the driving circuit formed of the TFT or the like and the reflective electrode have a plurality of matrix shapes. As the pixel size, a fine pixel such as ΙΟμπιχΙΟμπι is formed. On the other hand, as the reflective liquid crystal element (die) constituting the liquid crystal layer 356, the nematic liquid crystal has a pretilt angle of 2 to 5 degrees, and the liquid crystal layer has a torsion angle of 80 to 90 degrees, and the transparent substrate 354 side. The liquid crystal alignment azimuth angle has a range of 190 degrees to 200 degrees or 280 degrees to 290 degrees. Further, in the fourth embodiment, the wavelength normalization delay of the liquid crystal layer 356 is set to 0. 35 or more 0. 55 or less. Further, the surface of the transparent substrate 354 and the reflective substrate 355 which are in contact with the liquid crystal layer 356 are provided with an alignment film (not shown) which is formed by rubbing the surface of the polyimide film, for example, to impart alignment to the liquid crystal molecules. The liquid crystal molecules in the initial state have an inclination angle of, for example, about 2 to 5 degrees and a plane azimuth of about 190 to 200 degrees, or 280 to 290 degrees, with respect to the polarization axis of the polarizing plate. The twist angle of the liquid crystal is controlled to be 80 to 90 degrees. Further, Fig. 24 (Α) shows a state in which an electric field is applied to each of the pixel electrodes to display black when the liquid crystal layer 356 is turned on. The same figure (Β) is in a state where an electric field is not applied to each of the pixel electric fields. In the (initial state), a white normal white (MW) mode is displayed, and the liquid crystal layer 356 is open. Next, the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 25. Fig. 25 (Β) shows the structure of Fig. 24 (Α), (Β) together with the optical axis of the phase difference plate 353, and the same structure as Fig. 24 (A) '(Β) is attached -42- 1292501 (39) The same symbol. In FIGS. 24(A), (B) and FIG. 25(B), the light emitted from a light source (not shown) is first incident on the reflective liquid crystal element 351 by taking only the p-polarized light from the first polarizing plate 352a. . In the case of Fig. 25(A), the direction of vibration of the P-polarized light incident on the reflective liquid crystal element 351 by the first polarizing plate 352a is shown. On the other hand, in the reflective liquid crystal element 351, the alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer 356 is made to be in the direction indicated by Π in Fig. 25(A) on the light incident side, and is m in Fig. 25(A) on the side of the reflective surface. The direction shown. The light incident on the reflective liquid crystal element 351 passes through the liquid crystal layer 356 and is reflected by the reflective electrode on the reflective substrate 355, and is again emitted through the liquid crystal layer 3 56 and the transparent substrate 354, and is incident on the axis direction to be inclined. Phase difference plate 35 3 . The phase difference plate 353 which is inclined in the axial direction is arranged so as to be parallel to the in-plane alignment with the direction in which the incident P-polarized light vibrates as shown by IV in Fig. 25(A). That is, the optical axis of the phase difference plate 353 is set to be orthogonal to the transmission axis of the first polarizing plate 352a. The light modulated by the phase difference plate 3 5 3 having the inclination of the optical axis indicated by 359 shown in Fig. 25 (B) is incident on the second polarizing plate (photodetector) 352b. The light detecting direction of the second polarizing plate (photodetector) 352b is indicated by V in Fig. 25(A). When an electric field is not applied to each of the pixel electrodes, or a liquid crystal layer 356 of a threshold voltage is applied to form an OFF (OFF), the incident linear polarized light is modulated in the reflective liquid crystal element 35 1 , and the polarized state is It is rotated and emitted 'and does not pass through the second polarizing plate (photodetector) 352b through the second polarizing plate (photodetector) 352b, and is enlarged and projected onto a shadow screen (not shown). On the other hand, when a sufficient electric field is applied to each of the pixel electrodes to drive the liquid crystal layer 356 to turn on -43-(40) 1292501, the polarization state of the incident light remains unchanged while maintaining the original reflective substrate 35. 5 reflections. At this time, the reflected light is absorbed by the second polarizing plate (photodetector) 352b disposed before the projection lens 357, and thus is formed as shown in FIG. 24(A) and is not incident on the projection lens 35. 7. That is, black 〇 will be displayed. Next, the phase difference plate 353 having the slanting axis will be described in more detail. The phase difference plate 353 having the slanting axis is a negative birefringent compensation plate, for example, disclosed in the specification of US Pat. No. 5,410,422. Or a biaxially-stretched polymer film, or the arrangement of the discotic liquid crystal on the substrate, or the like, which is disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 9-119799 or JP-A No. 2000-32 1576. The ideal form of the phase difference plate 353 is as follows. (1) The phase difference plate 353 is composed of a transparent substrate (transparent support) and an optically anisotropic layer formed of a compound having a dish structure unit disposed thereon. (2) The disc surface of the disc-shaped structural unit of the optically anisotropic layer is inclined with respect to the transparent support surface, and the angle formed by the disc surface of the disc-shaped structural unit and the transparent support surface is toward the depth of the optically anisotropic layer The direction becomes a change 〇(3) The total absolute 値Re 1 of all the retardations of the optical compensation sheet expressed by the formula 5 and the absolute 値Re2 of the liquid crystal layer represented by the formula 6 can satisfy the relationship of the following four equations. 15xRe2^ Rel ^ 0. 6xRe2 4 - 44- (41) 1292501 [But the delay of the above optical compensation sheet is defined as follows, [nl - (n2 + n3) / 2] xd 5 (in the above formula, nl, n2, n3 represents the above optical compensation The refractive index in the three-axis direction of the sheet, and each having a small refractive index in this order, and d is the thickness in nm of the optical compensation sheet), and the retardation of the liquid crystal layer is defined as follows, {m3- (ml+ M2) /2}xd" 6 (in the above formula, ml, m2, m3 represent the refractive index in the triaxial direction of the above liquid crystal layer, and each has a small refractive index in this order, and d / represents the liquid crystal layer Nm conversion thickness)]. Further, as a characteristic of the phase difference plate 353 having the tilt axis, for example, the substrate side angle is 4 degrees, the front side angle is 80 degrees, and the retardation in the film surface direction is about 107 nm. On the other hand, the light incident on the phase difference plate 353 is incident from the larger side of the inclination angle. In the actual system system using the phase difference plate 3 5 3 , the visible angle characteristic obtained by the simulation is as shown in Fig. 25 (C), and the black is sunken when viewed from the azimuth angle of 90 degrees (black display) When the intensity of the light is extremely small, it is excellent in observing the characteristics of the light reflected from the oblique angle of 10 degrees to 30 degrees (the light reflected from the oblique direction). Here, in order to display black color, 5 V was applied to each of the pixel electrodes. Furthermore, in Fig. 25(C), the circle angle drawn by the dotted line (dotted line) of -45 - 1292501 (42) is a circle of 20 degrees, and the circle of the smallest diameter is 20 degrees (others are visible) In the present embodiment, the light intensity of the azimuth angle of 70 to 110 degrees and the polar angle of 0 to 20 degrees is applied to each of the pixel electrodes when a voltage of 5 V is applied to each of the pixel electrodes. As shown by VI in Fig. 26, the black level is extremely good in this angular range, and it is confirmed that light is incident due to the oblique direction, so that a high contrast can be obtained even for the oblique optical system. Further, the incident angle of the light incident on the liquid crystal layer 3 6 6 is about 12 degrees, and the F 投影 of the projection lens 3 5 7 is 2. 4 (At this time, the lens take-in angle is about 12 degrees, so it becomes light with an entrance angle of 0 degrees to 24 degrees and azimuth angle of 78 to 102 degrees). The contrast when projected on the screen is about 900:1. Although there is a slight tilt of the left and right contrasts, they are all in the practical range, and no interference fringes caused by reflections on the surface or the inside of the interface are observed. Next, the phase difference plate 3 5 3 of the fourth embodiment is removed, and the other optical arrangement is the same as that of the embodiment of Fig. 24 as a third comparative example. In the actual projected screen of the third comparative example, the interference phenomenon caused by the reflection on the surface or the inside of the interface was not observed, but the tilt phenomenon of the black level in the left-right direction was observed. The high contrast is 5 00:1, but the low contrast is 100:1. It can be seen that the angular characteristic is formed as shown in FIG. 27, even when the voltage is sufficiently applied to the black display of the pixel electrode, the liquid crystal molecules in the vicinity of the substrate are maintained in the horizontal direction due to the influence of the alignment film, so that the contrast in a specific direction is changed. Not good. In the third comparative example, the reflection-side substrate is set to 15 degrees, and the transparent electrode-side plate is set to 11 degrees, so that it can be observed at a square of -46 - 1292501 (43) and an angle of 〇 to 90 degrees and In the range of 180 degrees to 270 degrees, the black level becomes poor, and the azimuth angle of the third comparative example is 70 degrees to 110 degrees, and the intensity of the black display of the polar angle of 0 degrees to 2 5 degrees is as shown in FIG. The 'shows that the pole angle is small (when it is not too tilted), the black level is good, but as the pole angle becomes larger, especially when the azimuth angle is deflected from 90 degrees (in that case, it is assumed to be from 270 degrees) In the state of the incident light, the light intensity is rapidly increased, that is, although the black display is performed, a good black level cannot be obtained. This condition means that the black level is inclined to the left and right direction on the projected picture, so that it has a contrast on the left and right. On the other hand, in the case of color synthesis, since the characteristics of the three reflective liquid crystal panels are not uniform, it is observed that the color is uneven and extremely remarkable. In the fourth embodiment, the phase difference plate 353 is interposed between the reflective liquid crystal element 351 and the second polarizing plate 3 5 2b in the MTN mode, so that even in the third comparative example, In the oblique optical system, although there are a few cases in which the left and right contrasts are inclined, they are all within the practical range, and have the characteristic that no interference phenomenon due to reflection on the surface or the inside of the interface is observed. Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The fifth embodiment is the same optical arrangement as that of Figs. 24(A) and (B). However, the reflective liquid crystal element 351 uses a SCTN mode reflective liquid crystal element, which is different from the fourth embodiment. That is, the liquid crystal molecules as the liquid crystal layer 365 are composed of nematic liquid crystals, and the pretilt angle is 2 degrees to 5 degrees, and the twist angle of the liquid crystal layer 3 5 6 is approximately -47 - 1292501 (44) As 60 degrees. Further, the liquid crystal alignment azimuth angle of the transparent substrate 354 side and the reflective substrate 35 5 side is set to be about 150 degrees, about any one of about 210 degrees, or about 340 degrees and about 30 degrees. Further, the wavelength normalization delay of the liquid crystal layer 365 is 〇·55 or more and 0. 65 or less. On the surface of the transparent substrate 3 5 4 and the reflective substrate 35 5 which are in contact with the Chang layer 3 5 6 , an alignment film coated with a surface of the polyimide film is applied to impart alignment to the liquid crystal molecules (not shown). Show). In the actual system of the fifth embodiment, the visible angle characteristic obtained by the simulation is as shown in FIG. 29 'when viewed from the azimuth angle of 90 degrees, the black color sinks (the light intensity in black display is extremely small), and Observing the characteristics of the light reflected from the oblique incident light from the polar angle of 15 to 20 degrees is extremely excellent. Here, '5 V is applied to each pixel electrode for black display. Further, in the fifth embodiment, when 5 V is applied to each of the pixel electrodes, the light intensity is formed at an azimuth angle of 70 to 110 degrees, and the polar angle is from twentieth to 25 degrees, as shown in FIG. It is confirmed that the black level is extremely good in this angular range, and since the light is incident due to the inclination, an extremely high contrast can be obtained even in the oblique optical system. Further, the incident angle of the light incident on the reflective liquid crystal element is about 12 degrees, and the F 投影 of the projection lens 3 5 7 is 2. 4 (At this time, the lens take-up angle is about 12 degrees, so that it can be taken into the visible angle, the polar angle is 〇~24 degrees, and the azimuth is in the range of 7 8~1 0 2 degrees). The contrast is 1 〇〇〇: 1 and it is excellent without the contrast of the left and right. No disturbances accompanying reflections on the surface or inside the interface were observed. Furthermore, the liquid crystal alignment direction of the SC TN mode is for the incident side polarized light -48-1292501 (45) plate (Fig. 24, 3 5 2a) or the exit side polarizing plate (Fig. 24, 3 5 2b) due to the configuration of the liquid crystal cell. Since the upper and lower directions are symmetrical, even in the same twist state, eight modes are conceivable. However, when the twist angle is 60 degrees, it is desirable to set the liquid crystal alignment azimuth angle of the transparent substrate side and the reflective substrate side to about 15 0 degrees, any one of about 2 1 0 degrees, or formed to be about 3 3 0 degrees and about 30 degrees. The reason is set to be such that the visible angle can be widened. In addition, the phase difference plate 3 5 3 is removed, and the other optical arrangement is the same as the fourth comparative example of the fifth embodiment, and the actual projected picture is 5 0 : 1 at a high contrast, but at a low level. The contrast is 3 0 : 1. The fourth and fifth embodiments described above can also be said to be the same as those shown in Figs. 21(A) to (E). 31(A) to (E), the phase difference plate 1 〇1 indicates the phase difference plate 3 5 3 described above, and the mode indicates that the liquid crystal molecules are gradually inclined in the thickness direction of the film surface. arrangement. That is, the phase difference plate 10 1 (353) has its optical axis formed parallel to the paper surface in FIG. 31, and the optical axis is inclined with respect to the phase difference plate film surface, but the optical axis is made corresponding to the thickness from the film surface. The tilt angle is formed to gradually change. Further, the polarizing plates 102, 104, 105, 106 correspond to the second polarizing plate 352b° as described above, and use S-polarized light for incident light incident on the phase difference plate, and have a negative optical property. The phase difference plate 1 0 1 (353) which is inclined in the axial direction and which is inclined obliquely is made parallel to the transmission axis of the adjacent polarizing plates 102, 104, 105, thereby lowering the black level and increasing the contrast, and The wide range of angles (contrast coefficients) can be obtained with sufficient expansion. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described fourth and fifth embodiments -49-1292501^(46), and for example, a phase difference plate whose optical axis is inclined obliquely may be inserted into the first polarizing plate 3 52a and Between the reflective liquid crystal elements 351. At this time, the optical axis of the phase difference plate is set to be orthogonal to the transmission axis of the adjacent first polarizing plate 352a. Further, although the incident direction of the light is also reflected when the embodiment is reflected from the lower surface toward the upper surface, that is, the state is emitted from the azimuth angle of 270 degrees and is emitted toward the azimuth angle of 90 degrees, the light is emitted from the 90-degree direction or the other direction. Irradiation, as long as the alignment direction of the liquid crystals and the optical arrangement of the phase difference plates are performed, the same effect can be obtained. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to insert a phase difference plate having a uniaxial anisotropy and tilting the optical axis toward the film surface obliquely in a polarizing means and Between the reflective liquid crystal elements or between the reflective liquid crystal element and the light detecting (analysis) means, the optical axis of the phase difference plate is set to be a transmission axis of the polarizing means or the light detecting means adjacent to the phase difference plate. The black level can be lowered, so that a projection image (image) with a high contrast ratio (contrast ratio) can be obtained, and an angular range in which sufficient contrast can be obtained can be expanded. (2) It is possible to analyze only the predetermined P-polarized light (polarized light) or S-polarized light by polarizing means and light detecting means without using polarized beam splitting (PBS), and thus has optical system capability of PBS. A bright optical system is realized at a low cost. (3) Since the PBS is not used, it is necessary to incident light in the oblique direction to the -50-(47) 1292501 reflective liquid crystal element, but it can be adjusted to be most appropriate only around the incident angle, so that it is extremely High contrast ratio. (4) Since the conditions of the polarizing plate for constituting the polarizing means are not strict (wide), various polarizing plates can be applied. (5) The polarizing means and the light detecting means are independent and have a Nicole relationship. Therefore, projection interference fringes are not generated on the screen, and after color separation, there are polarizing means and light detecting means, so that There is a problem in the color separation and the birefringence of the color separation and the reduction of the purity of the polarized light of the device which performs color synthesis after the light detection, and therefore, it is stable to heat or the like. (6) The phase difference plate and the light-receiving means or the light-detecting means which are close to each other are configured to be integrally fixed so that unnecessary surface reflection can be eliminated, and the transmittance can be improved. (7) The phase difference plate is configured to adhere to the structure in which the anti-reflection layer is formed on the back surface of the surface, so that unnecessary interface reflection can be reduced, so that bright projection can be performed, and refraction caused by unevenness of the surface can be suppressed. The resulting image is blurred and distorted (distorted). (8) When a reflective liquid crystal element of the NW mode is used, S-polarized light is used for incident light, and a phase difference of optically negative uniaxial anisotropy and optical axis tilting obliquely toward the film surface is inserted. The plate is disposed between the polarizing means and the reflective liquid crystal element, or between the reflective liquid crystal element and the light detecting means, and sets the optical axis of the phase difference plate and the transmission of the polarizing means or the light detecting means adjacent to the phase difference plate The axes are orthogonal so that the black level can be lowered, so that a projection image with a high contrast ratio can be obtained, and an angular range that can sufficiently obtain contrast can be widened. -51 - 1292501 (48) (9) Since the drive can be compared at a low voltage, the drive transistor can be made small and high resolution can be achieved. (10) Since the voltage dependency of the chromaticity is small, the driving of the lower voltage becomes feasible, and the high-speed responsiveness is excellent, and therefore, when the display element of the present invention is used, the projection type liquid crystal display device can be smoothly performed. Display of dynamic images. (11) Since the liquid crystal display element of the present invention can be produced by using a stable liquid crystal alignment process, the liquid crystal display element and the projection device can be supplied at low cost.
