Abstract
A light-transmitting film that has a predetermined polarization split function, in addition to a light-collecting function is provided. The index of refraction nx in a prism extension direction and the index of refraction in a prism alignment direction differ from each other. By generating a difference in the indices of refraction in the prism extension direction and the prism alignment direction orthogonal thereto, for the light incident on the light-transmitting film, the polarization component Lx oscillating in the prism extension direction and the polarization component Ly oscillating in the prism alignment direction can have different transmission characteristics. For example, by setting the index of refraction in the prism extension direction greater than the index of refraction in the prism alignment direction (nx>ny), among the light incident on the light-transmitting film, the amount of return light of the polarization component Lx oscillating in the prism extension direction is greater than that of the polarization component Ly oscillating in the prism alignment direction. In this way, not only a light-collecting function, but also a predetermined polarization split function is obtained.
