    摘要: A light guide includes: a light guide board configured to allow light incident on an optical entrance to propagate through the light guide board, the light guide board including: the optical entrance; a first face; and at least one partial reflection layer within the light guide board and tilted to the first face. The at least one partial reflection layer is configured to reflect a part of light incident on the at least one partial reflection layer at an incident angle of greater than or equal to a critical angle θr to allow the reflected light to exit the light guide board through the first surface while transmitting therethrough a remainder of the light incident on the at least one partial reflection layer. Formula below is satisfied: θr=sin−1(n2/n1) where θr is the critical angle; n1 is a refractive index of the light guide board; and n2 is a refractive index of the at least one partial reflection layer.

    摘要: A light guide for a virtual image device to guide and emit image light output from an image display element to display a virtual image. The light guide includes a light-guide member and an optical member. The light-guide member includes an incidence portion to receive the image light and an exit portion to emit the image light to an outside, and a reflective portion inclined relative to the incidence portion to guide the image light received by the incidence portion into the light guide. The light-guide member also includes an extraction portion including first planes each inclined relative to the exit portion and second planes each parallel with the exit portion, to guide the image light from each first plane to the exit portion and extract the image light. The optical member includes a parallel plane and an inclined portion.
