摘要:
A display apparatus which has a mirror with a free curved reflective surface of which curvature fluctuates with inflection points, a liquid crystal display (LCD), a back light and a polarizer. Light of an image which was modulated by the LCD is reflected by the free curved reflective surface and passes through the polarizer. Then, the light is directed to an optical pupil. Since the curvature of the free curved reflective surface fluctuates with inflection points, curvature of field and distortion can be corrected properly, and an image of high quality can be formed.

An image display apparatus is provided with a screen having retro-reflectivity, a liquid crystal display device displaying an image, a projection optical system projecting the light of the liquid crystal display device onto the screen, and a beam magnifier located close to the screen and magnifying the light beams, included in the projected light, expressing individual points of the image. The beam magnifier is composed of a diffraction optical element or a diffusing plate, and magnifies each light beam so that the magnification is larger in the direction of the horizontal field of view than in the direction of the vertical field of view. When images having parallax are provided for the left and right eyes, an upper limit of the magnification of the light beams is set in consideration of the distance between the left and right eyes to prevent cross-talk.

An information display device provided with a prism having at least two reflecting surfaces arranged in facing each other and a hologram surface formed of a reflection-type hologram. And at least one of the two reflecting surfaces is a light-beam-selective surface that selectively transmits or reflects light in accordance with its incident angle. An image light emitted from an image display means enters the prism, and is reflected between the reflecting surfaces, and then is diffractively reflected on the hologram surface, and, after being transmitted through the light-beam-selective surface, is directed to an observer's pupil.

An image display apparatus is provided for providing a virtual image to an observer. The image display apparatus includes an image display unit, an eyepiece optical system, and a container. The image display unit is for providing modulated light corresponding to the virtual image. The eyepiece optical system is for directing the modulated light from the image display unit to one or both of the observer's eyes. The container is for supporting the image display unit on an edge portion of the eyepiece optical assembly.

Variation of the wavelength of the light emitted from a light source is reduced by a wavelength variation reduction mechanism. Hence, wavelength deviation of the intensity peak of the light emitted from the light source from the diffraction-efficiency peak of a hologram optical element is reduced. Thus, even when a high-brightness light source is used, the light emitted therefrom can be diffracted with the hologram optical element efficiently. Moreover, the heat generated by the light source is efficiently rejected through the surface of a land portion of a flexible printed circuit, is then, via an insulating layer of the flexible printed circuit, efficiently absorbed through the surface of a heat absorbing member, and is then, via a shield conductor, led out of a casing, so as to be thereby expelled.

A head-mounted image display apparatus is provided with: an image display element; a projection optical system that projects an image displayed by the image display element, so as to be enlarged; a reflective screen onto which the image is projected by the projection optical system; and a combiner disposed between the projection optical system and the screen. The combiner transmits the image light from the projection optical system and directs it to the screen, and reflects the image light reflected at the screen and directs it to the user's pupil.

摘要:
A hologram optical element is formed on a substrate so as to make an optical device. The hologram optical element is formed in an area smaller than an irradiation area of a beam for reproduction such as image light or object light on the substrate. Supposing that the beam for reproduction is made of a center beam having intensity higher than 50% of center intensity and other peripheral beam, the hologram optical element is formed on the substrate in a size for diffracting only the center beam so that a flare or a ghost can be relieved without using additional optical elements such as a shading plate.
