Liquid crystal projector

A liquid crystal projector comprising:

• a light source;
• separating means for separating light from the light source into three light components;
• liquid crystal panel units disposed in respective optical paths for the three light components separated by the light separating means, each of the liquid crystal panel units to modulate the light component in accordance with image data, each of the liquid crystal panel units including
• a) a liquid crystal panel disposed as inclined at a predetermined angle with a plane perpendicular to an optical path in accordance with a preference angle of field,
• b) a condenser lens, and
• c) an incident-side polarizing plate, said incident-side polarizing plate is arranged perpendicular to the optical path;
• and
• optically composing means for optically composing the three light components as transmitted through the liquid crystal panel units.
