A stereoscopic image apparatus that is capable of minimizing loss of optical energy and improving quality of a stereoscopic image is disclosed. The stereoscopic image apparatus includes a polarizing beam splitter to reflect or transmit incident light based on polarization components of the light to split the light in at least three different directions, a reflective member to reflect the light reflected by the polarizing beam splitter to a screen, at least one modulator to modulate the light reflected by the reflective member and the light transmitted through the polarizing beam splitter, and a refractive member disposed in an advancing direction of light to be incident upon the polarizing beam splitter to refract the light to be incident upon the polarizing beam splitter.

A stereoscopic image projection apparatus, comprising:
The stereoscopic image projection apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the polarization state transforming assembly comprises a half wave retarder, wherein the half wave retarder is disposed across the light paths of the first reflective light beam and second reflective light beam and in front of or after the light path adjustment assembly, or disposed at any location between the light beam size adjustment assembly and the light modulator, or disposed at any location between the light beam size adjustment assembly and the quarter wave retarder.
The stereoscopic image projection apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the light path direction adjustment assembly comprises two reflective mirrors respectively disposed on light paths of the first reflective light beam and the second reflective light beam.
A stereoscopic image projection system, comprising a projector, a screen, and a stereoscopic image projection apparatus;
