    摘要: An image display apparatus includes a light source for supplying illumination light, a reflective display element for reflecting and modulating the illumination light into image light, a first optical system for guiding the illumination light to the reflective display element, and a second optical system for guiding the image light to an observer. Particularly, the first optical system has an optical element including a first surface on which the illumination light is incident, a second surface for totally reflecting the light incident on the first surface, and a third surface from which the light totally reflected by the second surface emerges toward the reflective display element. The first optical system is arranged so that the image light is again incident through the third surface on the optical element and emerges from the second surface toward the second optical system. The optical element has a function of preventing unnecessary light from being guided to the observer, by making a side surface of the optical element as a diffusing surface, or by providing a side surface of the optical element with a light absorbing film or with an antireflection coating.

    摘要: An optical system having a first optical acting surface and a second optical acting surface in an optical path between a focal plane and a stop. In the optical path traced from the focal plane to the stop, light emitted from the focal plane is reflected by the second optical acting surface and thereafter reflected by the first optical acting surface to reach the stop. A ray connecting a center of the focal plane with a center of the stop via the first optical acting surface and the second optical acting surface is defined as a reference axis ray. The second optical acting surface is of a rotationally asymmetric, aspherical shape only one symmetry plane of which is a plane including the reference axis ray.
