    Abstract: A retinal scanning display device including an optical system emits laser light to a pupil of a user, an optical multiplexer individually receives types of laser light having different wavelengths emitted from a plurality of semiconductor lasers, which combines the types of laser light coaxially to output the combined laser light. On the optical multiplexer, a beam shaper shapes the combined laser light into a light beam having a predetermined divergence or convergence angle, and a direction-of-emission changer changes image signal corresponding to an image to be formed, the direction of emission of the light beam output through the beam shaper within at least a plane intersecting the direction of emission. Then, an optical engine formed with the semiconductor lasers, the optical multiplexer, the beam shaper and the direction-of-emission changer guides the laser light emitted from the direction-of-emission changer to the position of the pupil of the user.
