A projection image display device includes: a light source that emits a blue illumination light; a phosphor that produces, in a region irradiated by the blue illumination light, a yellow illumination light including a component in a red band and a component in a green band from a portion of the blue illumination light and that reflects the blue illumination light and the yellow illumination light; and a filter that reflects a portion of the blue illumination light reflected by the phosphor toward the phosphor. The filter reflects the portion of the blue illumination light so as to be imaged at a position displaced from a region on a phosphor surface irradiated by the blue illumination light, and the phosphor produces a yellow illumination light also from the blue illumination light reflected by the filter.
