Projector

A projector comprising:

• a light source device configured to periodically emit illumination light including a first light and a second light;
• a light modulation device configured to modulate the illumination light emitted from the light source device in accordance with image information;
• and
• a projection optical system configured to project image light emitted from the light modulation device, wherein
• the light source device has a light emitting element configured to emit the first light and the second light,
• the light modulation device has
• a first liquid crystal element configured to form an image by converting the first light incident thereon into a first image light in accordance with the image information input thereto and
• a second liquid crystal element configured to form an image by converting the second light incident thereon into a second image light in accordance with the image information input thereto,
• an irradiation cycle of the first light irradiated from the light source device and irradiated on the first liquid crystal element and an image forming cycle of the first liquid crystal element are synchronized with each other,
• an irradiation cycle of the second light irradiated from the light source device and irradiated on the second liquid crystal element and an image forming cycle of the second liquid crystal element are synchronized with each other,
• the image forming cycle of the first liquid crystal element and the image forming cycle of the second liquid crystal element are shifted from each other, and
• a wavelength of the first light incident on the first liquid crystal element and a wavelength of the second light incident on the second liquid crystal element are different from each other.
