The cross dichroic prism includes an optically imperfect part at a center of a bonded part of the four triangular prisms. A ratio between an aerial conversion length from each of light-emission planes of the plurality of display panels to the center of the bonded part, and a width of the optically imperfect part, is greater than or equal to 250:1.

Abstract: In a display apparatus, image light emitted from an image forming device is incident on an image light incidence portion of a light guide member after being diffracted by a second diffractive optical element, and emitted from an image light emission portion after moving forward in the light guide member. The image light emitted from the image light emission portion is diffracted by a first diffractive optical element and reaches the eyes of an observer. On a position where unnecessary external light is made incident on the light guide member, an external light noise reduction element which has a polarizing member and the like is provided. For this reason, even when the unnecessary external light is made incident on the light guide member, it is possible to inhibit the unnecessary external light from reaching the eye of the observer.

Abstract: A virtual image display apparatus includes an imaging light emitting unit configured to emit imaging light, and a light-guiding unit configured to guide the imaging light. The light-guiding unit is configured by arranging a first, a second, a third, and a fourth optical system in the stated order in a travel direction of the imaging light. The first optical system forms a first intermediate image of the imaging light. The second optical system includes a first diffraction element forming a pupil between the second and the fourth optical system. The third optical system forms a second intermediate image. The fourth optical system includes a second diffraction element forming an exit pupil by diffracting the imaging light. At the exit pupil, luminance of pixels at a central position of the imaging light and luminance of pixels at end positions of the imaging light differ.

Abstract: A light-guiding device used in a display device includes a plurality of first half mirrors between a first light-guiding body and a second light-guiding body. Each of the first half mirrors is formed on a first surface extending along a first direction of the first surface and a second surface extending along a second direction in the first light-guiding body. The first light-guiding body includes a third surface overlapping the second surface in a direction along a third direction in which two first surfaces located on both sides of the second surface do not overlap each other between the first surface and the second surface. The third surface extends in a direction different from the first direction.
