摘要:
A small optical system that is capable of widening an angle of view is provided. This optical system is provided with a first surface having a reflecting action and a second surface that reflects a light beam reflected on this first surface toward the first surface again. Then, a principal ray at central angle of view that is made incident on the first surface again is reflected and travels to a side opposite to a side of the last time it was reflected from the first surface with respect to a normal line of a surface at a hit point thereof.

An image display apparatus has a light source, a reflective display device, an illumination optical system for guiding light from the light source to the display device to illuminate the display device, and a display optical system for guiding the light reflected by the display device to the pupil of an observer to allow the observer to observe an image displayed on the display panel. The illumination optical system and the display optical system have an optical element shared in part or are arranged so as not to interfere with each other, thereby providing the image display apparatus of compact structure. Particularly, where the display optical system is a thin optical system having a plurality of decentered, reflecting, curved surfaces, the appropriate illumination optical system is arranged, thereby providing the thin image display apparatus using the reflective display device.

A display optical system for guiding light from an image to an observer or a surface projecting an image thereon with a first optical system and second optical system. The first optical system having a first surface formed on a transparent body with a reflecting action, a second surface reflecting light reflected on the first surface toward the first surface again, and a third surface formed on the transparent body transmitting light from the image. The light transmitted through the third surface travels toward the first surface and is reflected for the first time. In addition, a principal ray, central angle of view to be reflected for the last time on the first surfaces is reflected to a side opposite a side of the first reflection on the first surface with respect to a normal line of a surface on a hit point thereof.

A display optical system for guiding light from an original picture to an eye of an observer or a surface to have an image projected thereon is provided with a first optical system and a second optical system. The first optical system is provided with a first surface that is formed on a transparent body and has at least a reflecting action, a second surface for reflecting light reflected on the first surface toward the first surface again, and a third surface that is formed on the transparent body in the same manner as the first surface and transmits the light from the original picture. The light transmitted through the third surface travels toward the first surface and reflected for the first time on the first surface. In addition, a principal ray at central angle of view to be reflected for the last time on the first surface is reflected and travels to a side opposite to a side of the first reflection on the first surface with respect to a normal line of a surface on a hit point thereof. With such a structure, a small display optical system that is capable of widening an angle of view is realized.

摘要:
The present invention relates to an image display apparatus suitable for a head mounted display which apparatus has been made compact as a whole by the use of a reflection type liquid crystal display element. The apparatus has a first optical element which has an incidence surface on which a light beam is incident, at least two curved reflecting surfaces made eccentric with respect to each other for reflecting the light beam incident from the incidence surface, and an emergence surface from which the light beam from the curved reflecting surfaces emerges. A reflection type image display device provided on the incidence surface side. A light beam from a light source is caused to enter from one of the two curved reflecting surfaces which comprises a half mirror surface, and emerge from the incidence surface and illuminate the image display device. The light beam from the image display device is caused to enter from the incidence surface of the first optical element and be reflected by the curved reflecting surfaces, and thereafter emerge from the emergence surface, and image information displayed by the image display device is observed from the emergence surface side.

A stereoscopic image display apparatus for stereoscopically viewing an image displayed on a display, by transmitting light through a mask pattern where plural apertures and plural light shielding portions are arranged in a predetermined pitch in the horizontal and vertical directions, transmitting the luminous flux through an optical system for illuminating the display where at least two parallax images are displayed, and leading the luminous flux based on the two parallax images displayed on the display to the right eye and left eye of a viewer respectively. The apparatus enables to give flexibility to precise adjustment during the assembly and enables the viewing of a stereoscopic image from a wide area with good quality, by setting vertical widths Vt and Vs of the aperture and the light shielding portion of the mask pattern, and horizontal widths Ht and Hs of the aperture and the light shielding portion of the mask pattern to satisfy the relationship of Vt
摘要:
Parallax images corresponding to a plurality of different view points are each divided into predetermined stripe images, a synthetic parallax image is synthesized from the stripe images, and display light, from stripe images corresponding to one view point of the synthetic parallax image on the image display element displaying the synthetic parallax image, is guided to a mask member having a mask pattern with predetermined openings and shields by a second optical system placed in front of the image display element. The display light passing through the openings of the mask member is condensed to a position corresponding to the view point on an observation surface a predetermined distance apart, by a first optical system, whereby an observer is permitted to stereoscopically observe image information displayed on the image display element.
