Abstract:
A projector includes a light source device and a cooling device. The light source device includes a first light source having a plurality of first light emitting elements, a second light source having a plurality of second light emitting elements, and a light combining member adapted to combine light. The cooling device includes a first cooling section adapted to cool the first light emitting elements with a liquid refrigerant so that a first temperature difference increases in a first direction, and a second cooling section adapted to cool the second light emitting elements with a liquid refrigerant so that a second temperature difference increases in a second direction. The first and second light sources are arranged so that an illuminance distribution caused by the first temperature difference and an illuminance distribution caused by the second temperature difference are canceled out in the light combining member.
