It is an object to prevent deterioration of reflectance of a reflection layer composed of silver or a silver alloy, resulting from heat-caused migration of silver. The reflector for projection type display apparatuses which display image light beams emitted and reflected by a light source, modulated for light intensity by a display device and magnified by a projection lens, wherein the reflector is provided, on the reflection surface side, with a reflection layer composed at least of silver or a silver alloy, and a layer comprising inorganic particles and a binder composed of a silicon compound; and a light source and image display device which use the reflector. |
