    Abstract: A lens system includes a plurality of lens elements arranged from an object side to an image plane side, and a diaphragm arranged between the plurality of lens elements. The plurality of lens elements include a plurality of freeform lenses each having a freeform surface that is asymmetrical with respect to a first direction and a second direction which cross with each other. At least one freeform lens is placed on the image plane side of the diaphragm. With a lens thickness T1 in the first direction at a maximum height of an axial ray and a lens thickness T2 in the second direction at the maximum height of the axial ray, at least one freeform lens satisfying 0.3

    Abstract: A lens system for forming an image of light incident from an object side on an imaging element arranged on an image surface side includes: a plurality of lens elements including free-curved surface lenses; and a diaphragm arranged between the plurality of lens elements. The lens elements form a front group arranged on the object side of the diaphragm, and a rear group arranged on the image surface side of the diaphragm. A first lens element closest to the object side in the plurality of lens elements has an aspherical surface that is rotationally symmetrical. The free-curved surface lenses each has a free-curved surface that is asymmetrical with respect to a first direction and a second direction crossing with each other. A free-curved surface lens satisfying a conditional expression “D×(SV−SH)/IH>0.08” is arranged on the rear group in the plurality of lens elements.

    Abstract: A light flux incident on the light guide body is replicated in a first direction or a second direction by a diffraction structure of an expansion region. When a normal direction with respect to the light guide body of the expansion region is defined as a Z-axis direction, and a tangential plane is defined as an XY plane, the diffraction structure of the expansion region is configured such that a light flux duplicated when the light flux incident on the expansion region is transmitted through the XY plane of the expansion region from a positive direction of the Z axis and a light flux duplicated when the light flux is transmitted through the XY plane of the expansion region from a negative direction of the Z axis are accommodated within a viewing angle at which the image is visually recognizable.

    Abstract: An optical system includes an incidence part changing a traveling direction of the incident image light from a display part and an expansion part that divides and duplicates the image light traveling from the incidence part. The expansion part includes a first and a second expansion part. The first expansion part includes a first and a second diffraction structure part each having a diffraction structure that divides and duplicates the image light along a first direction, and a non-diffraction structure part disposed between the first and the second diffraction structure part. The second expansion part includes a third diffraction structure part that divides and duplicates image light along the first direction. The third diffraction structure part is disposed to overlap with the non-diffraction structure part of the first expansion part in a vertical direction with respect to the pupil expansion part.

    Abstract: An optical system includes a display that emits a light flux visually recognized by an observer as an image, and a light guide body that replicates the light flux. The light flux is emitted from the emission surface after being expanded by being replicated in a first direction corresponding to a horizontal direction of the image visually recognized by the observer due to diffraction by a diffraction structure of an expansion region in the light guide body, a second direction corresponding to a vertical direction of the image, or both the directions. A coherence length of the light flux diffracted and emitted in the expansion region in the light guide body is smaller than twice a shorter interval between the diffraction structure and each of a front surface and a back surface of the light guide body.

    Abstract: A lens system that forms an image on an imaging element, includes: first to third lens element arranged in order; a diaphragm; and a lens element on the image surface side. At least one of the first and second lens elements has a free-curved surface, and one of the first and second lens elements has free-curved surfaces on both sides. The third lens element has free-curved surfaces on both sides. The first lens element has a convex shape, toward the object side, of a surface facing the object side. The second lens element has a convex shape, toward the object side, of a surface facing the image surface side. The third lens element has a convex shape, toward the image surface side, of a surface facing the object side. The lens element on the image surface side has, at least on the object side, a free-curved surface.
