    摘要: A head-mounted display device for enlarging an image formed by an image display element as a virtual image. The head-mounted display device according to this invention comprises a virtual image forming optical system (3) including an image display element (9) and a lens (11) for enlarging an image formed by the image display element (9); a device main body (1) that houses the image forming optical means (3); and a switching means mounted in the device main body (1) for holding the virtual image forming optical system (3) in such a way that the system (3) can be moved in the direction of the width of the eye and placing the virtual image forming optical system (3) in front of one of the user's eyes. The image display element (9) and the lens (11) are disposed so that the optical axis of the virtual image forming optical system (3) approximately aligns with the user's line of sight taken while he or she is looking horizontally. The switching means enables the user to easily select the eye to view the virtual image. Therefore, this invention provides high universality and shareability, and enables the user to freely switch the eye to view the virtual image.
