Abstract: An optical element includes a substrate and a first hologram element provided on one side of the substrate, and a second hologram element provided on another side of the substrate. The first hologram element is provided to overlap with the second hologram element in a front view. The first hologram element includes a first hologram layer that diffracts part of incident light in a first wavelength band and that transmits another part of the incident light in the first wavelength band. The second hologram element includes a second hologram layer that diffracts, toward the first hologram layer through diffraction, part of light in the first wavelength band transmitted through the first hologram layer and that transmits other part of the light in the first wavelength band transmitted through the first hologram layer.

Abstract: Provided is a virtual image display device including an imaging light emitting device, a light-guiding member configured to guide imaging light emitted from the imaging light emitting device, and an emission-side diffraction element provided at a light-emitting portion of the light-guiding member and configured to emit the imaging light by diffraction. In the emission-side diffraction element, a light amount difference between a first component light and a second component light of the imaging light, the first component light being emitted as a central image at a first angle σ of 0° and the second component light being emitted as a peripheral image at a second angle σ of ±θ (θ>0°), is equal to or less than 20%.

Abstract: A light flux diameter expanding element includes a light guiding plate with a light input face and a light output face, and with a thickness of 0.2 mm to 0.8 mm; a diffraction grating on the input side; and a diffraction grating on the output side, and is provided so as to have the same grating period as that of the diffraction grating on the input side, in which a forming region of the diffraction grating on the input side is smaller than that of the output side, and a grating period of the diffraction grating on the input side is a period in which a small diffraction angle in diffraction angles of +1-st order diffracted light and −1-st order diffracted light, which are diffracted in the diffraction grating on the input side, in the light guiding plate becomes larger than a critical angle of the light guiding plate.

Abstract: An optical device of the present disclosure includes a first light guide body including a first light-incident portion provided with a first incidence-side diffraction element, and a second light guide body including a second light-incident portion provided with a second incidence-side diffraction element, wherein the second light guide body, when light is caused to enter the first light-incident portion, is disposed at a position at which a part of the light passing through the first light guide body enters the second light-incident portion, and the second incidence-side diffraction element is an element that diffracts light of monochromatic color at a smaller angle than the first incidence-side diffraction element does, when the light of monochromatic color is caused to enter at a same angle.

Abstract: A virtual image display device of the invention includes an image display element configured to emit image light, a relay optical system configured to generate an intermediate image of the image light emitted from the image display element, and an ocular optical element configured to reflect the intermediate image toward a position assumed to be a position of an eye of an observer to generate an enlarged virtual image. The relay optical system includes a prism, and the prism includes a first bending surface including a bending surface and serving as an incident surface, a second bending surface including a bending surface and serving as an emission surface, and a reflecting surface configured to reflect, toward the second bending surface, the image light incident from the first bending surface.
