Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A light source device includes a light source, a first dichroic mirror, and a light emitting member. The light source is configured to emit blue light substantially polarized in a first direction. The first dichroic mirror is configured to reflect not less than 80% and not more than 90% of the blue light polarized in the first direction, and to transmit more than 10% and less than 20% of the blue light polarized in the first direction, in a wavelength band of blue light. The light emitting member is configured to emit light upon being excited by the blue light reflected by the first dichroic mirror.

First claim
