Abstract: A light source unit includes: a display device configured to emit light that has a substantially Lambertian light distribution and to display a picture; a first prism sheet on which the light emitted from the display device is incident; and an imaging optical system that includes an input element on which light emitted from the first prism sheet is incident and an output element on which light that has passed through the input element is incident, and configured such that light emitted from the output element forms a first image corresponding to the picture. The imaging optical system has a substantially telecentric property on a side of the first image.

Abstract: A lens array includes: an input-lens collective body, which is a collective body of input lenses each having a different optical power in a first direction and in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the input lenses being aligned along the second direction for which the input lenses have a larger optical power; and an output-lens collective body, which is a collective body of output lenses each having a different optical power in the first direction and in the second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the output lenses being optically opposed to the input lenses, and being aligned along the second direction. Respective lens dimensions of the input lenses are defined so that the input-lens collective body forms a predetermined irradiated region in the irradiated plane by a collection of irradiated areas of light irradiated from the lens array. Positions of respective lens protruding end portions of the output lenses are defined so that the respective irradiated areas of the output lenses correspond to any one of the irradiated areas which area respectively formed at different positions, and at least a portion of each of the irradiated areas overlaps with at least a portion of the adjacent irradiated areas.

Abstract: A light source device includes a light emitting element and a light transmissive member having a light incident surface opposite to the light emitting element, and a light emitting surface. The light incident surface includes an inner region having a retroreflective lens portion and directly facing the light emitting element, and an outer region having a shape different from a shape of the retroreflective lens.
