A video display device is provided with a light source, a display element, and an eyepiece optical system (14). The light source emits light which has at least one emission peak wavelength and has a wavelength width including one emission peak wavelength. The display element modulates the light emitted from the light source and displays video. The eye-piece optical system (14) comprises a volume phase reflective HOE (23) with diffracts and reflects video light from the display element and leads the light to a viewing pupil. An HOE surface (23a) is divided into a plurality of flat surfaces (31, 32, 33) disposed so as to be recessed on the viewing pupil side, and the plurality of flat surfaces (31, 32, 33) are continuous so as to have a common ridge line at a boundary between the flat surfaces adjoining to each other.
