Abstract:
A light guide plate includes: first and second internal reflective surfaces that are approximately parallel and propagate incoming image light while totally reflecting the image light; a partially reflective surface array that has a plurality of partially reflective surfaces arranged in a direction of propagating image light, the partially reflective surfaces being inclined at a predetermined angle and partially reflecting the image light; and a uniforming element that uniforms intensity distribution of image light which is reflected by the partially reflective surface array to be projected from the light guide plate. As the uniforming element, the partially reflective surface array is divided into a plurality of segments along a direction of propagating image light, and the inter-surface spacing of the partially reflective surfaces or the reflectivity of the partially reflective surfaces is configured to vary from segment to segment.
