    Abstract: A projection device includes: a plurality of light sources arranged in a first direction; a spatial modulation element that modulates incident light into image information and emits the image information; a lens that changes an optical path of light emitted from each of the plurality of light sources such that the light emitted from each light source reaches substantially the same region of an incident surface of the spatial modulation element; and a first reflective optical member that deflects the light emitted from the lens toward the spatial modulation element, the first reflective optical member having a shape that reflects light emitted from the lens so as to be incident on an arbitrary point on the incident surface of the spatial modulation element at a predetermined reference incident angle.

    Abstract: An optical system includes a light guide member having an incident surface, a first surface and a light emergent surface; and at least one prism provided on the first surface and configured to reflect light received by the incident surface and travelling inside the light guide member, towards the light emergent surface. The light guide member provides an optical path along which the light that has entered through the incident surface is directly reflected from the prism and allowed to emerge from the light emergent surface. The light guide member also provides another optical path along which the light that has entered through the incident surface is once reflected from the second surface, reflected again from the prism, and then allowed to emerge from the light emergent surface. The optical system is configured to be coupled to a light source, to illuminate a display system which projects a virtual image onto a target space.
