    Abstract: A light source device includes a light source configured to emit illumination light and a flat plate shaped transparent lightguide element. The lightguide element includes: an incident surface facing the light source; a reflecting surface formed in one of side surfaces of the lightguide element to reflect the illumination light incident into the lightguide element from the incident surface; and an exit surface formed in a side surface of the lightguide element on an opposite side to the reflecting surface, the illumination light reflected by the reflecting surface exiting from the exit surface. The reflecting surface is formed into a curved surface, the curved surface collimating the illumination light reflected by the reflecting surface in a surface including a lengthwise direction of the reflecting surface, and the reflecting surface is formed into a concave mirror in a surface including a short direction of the reflecting surface.

    Abstract: Provided is a display device that prevents generation of stray light and has excellent visibility. In a display device (1) that makes an image light ray enter from an end face of a light guide plate (14) and emits the image light ray, reflected or refracted by each of a plurality of emission structures (prisms 141) provided on the light guide plate, from a light exit surface (14c) of the light guide plate, a light reflection layer or a light absorption layer is formed on at least one optical surface among optical surfaces provided on the emission structure (the prism 141) except for an optical surface that reflects or refracts the image light ray.

    Abstract: To make a displayed image clear. A display device emits image light reflected by a plurality of prisms (141) provided in a light guide plate (14) from a light exit surface (14c). The prism (141) has a reflective surface (141a) that reflects and emits the image light. The reflective surface (141a) is formed in a curved shape in a thickness direction of the light guide plate (14).

    Abstract: An optical device includes a light guide plate configured to guide light within a plane parallel to an emission surface, and a plurality of deflectors configured to deflect light guided thereto by the light guide plate, causing light forming an image in a space outside the light guide plate to exit from the emission surface. Each deflector in the plurality of deflectors cause the light to exit from the emission surface toward a direction substantially converging onto a single convergence point or convergence line in the space, or to substantially radiate from a single convergence point or convergence line in the space. The convergence point or the convergence line is mutually different among the plurality of deflectors with a grouping of a plurality of the convergence points or the convergence lines forming the image in the space.

    Abstract: A display device configured for use as a backlight for a display panel that effects presentation via liquid crystals that produce a monochrome image. The display device includes a light guide plate; and a first and a second light source arranged at an edge of the light guide plate. The light guide plate includes: an emission surface; a cluster of first reflective structures configured to reflect light incident thereon from the first light source thereby changing the optical path of the light and causing the light to exit from the emission surface to serve as the backlight; and a cluster of second reflective structures configured to reflect light incident thereon from a second light source thereby changing the optical path of the light and causing the light to exit from the emission surface to effect a predetermined display.

    Abstract: An input device recognizes that a user is placing a finger or another object toward an image formed in a space and notifies the user of the recognition. An input device includes a light guide plate that guides light received from a light source and emit the light through a light emission surface to form an image in a space, a position detection sensor that detects a pointer in a space including an imaging position at which the image is formed, and a notification controller that performs control to sense a user input in response to detection of the pointer by the position detection sensor and change a method of notification to the user in accordance with a distance between the imaging position and the pointer.

    Abstract: A reflection structure configured to be disposed on a light guide body that guides a light beam incident from a light source and causes the light beam to exit from a light emitting area set in a light exit surface, having a reflection surface that reflects the light beam emitted from the light source toward the light emitting area. When the reflection structure is viewed from a direction perpendicular to the light exit surface, a pointed end is arranged in a direction orthogonal to a traveling direction of the reflected light beam, and an angle formed between the traveling direction of the reflected light beam and a normal direction of an end edge of the reflection surface connected to the pointed end is less than or equal to −38.327x2+152.3x−94.014, wherein x is a refractive index of the light guide body.
