Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a virtual image display device in which luminance spot is suppressed.SOLUTION: A filter 50 is arranged between a projection optical system 12 and a light guide device 20, and changes a spatial distribution of a transmitted light volume. Consequently, an image with suppressed luminance spot is displayed to an observer, even when the image as the virtual image formed by the projection optical system and a light guide device 20 has a comparatively large luminance spot. Thus, the virtual image displayed by a virtual image display device 100 is made high quality while enlarging the size of the displayed image.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a virtual image display device capable of setting the aspect ratio of image light entering the eyes of an observer as a virtual image to a desired state while fulfilling design limitations to some extent.SOLUTION: An inventive virtual image display device 100 can convert the aspect ratio of a formed virtual image into the aspect ratio (16:9) laterally longer than the original aspect ratio (4:3) of the image area of an image display element 11 by means of expansion conversion in an aspect ratio conversion optical system 15. Thus, the aspect ratio of image light to be recognized as a virtual image by the eye of the observer can be adjusted to a desired state (e.g., the aspect ratio of 16:9) by the aspect conversion in the cylindrical lenses 15a, 15b even in the case in which, for example, the lateral width WD of an image forming device 10 including the image display device 11 with respect to the whole of the virtual image display device 100 is limited by a design requirement and therefore the image area fails to have a relatively landscape aspect ratio (e.g., 16:9) required as a picture, but has a ratio approximating square (e.g., the aspect ratio of 4:3).

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method of a light guide plate in which void generation between a reflection plane for extracting image light and a resin for burying the reflection plane or the like is suppressed and in a see-through type light guide plate, a transmission image can be prevented from blurring.SOLUTION: A resin material PM positioned at the deepest side of a sawtooth-shaped part DT is preferentially cured to avoid void generation between the resin material and a reflection membrane MB and to maintain optical characteristics of the reflection membrane MB, namely, of reflection planes 23a and 23b excellent, thereby improving a definition of a light guide plate 20. Furthermore, by suppressing cyclic swell occurrence caused by shrinkage on a surface, a front face FF having desired flatness can be formed in a flattening step that is a final step of manufacturing an ultraviolet-curable resin member Qa. Therefore, when using the light guide plate 20 as a see-through type, an outer field image is prevented from being blurred or disturbed.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a projector with an optical system having the high degree of freedom in selection of a projection lens. SOLUTION: An intermediate image 200 is formed in predetermined size at an imaging position P1 predetermined in advance between a mount 12 and an intermediate image forming part 100. Since a flange back FB1 of a first projection lens 60 and a flange back FB2 of a second projection lens 70 are constituted to be nearly the same as a distance from the mount 12 to the imaging position of the intermediate image 200, the first projection lens 60 and the second projection lens 70 are focused at the intermediate image 200. Therefore, a sharp image in focus is projected onto a screen 50. A user may use the first projection lens 60 and the second projection lens 70 properly in accordance with the installation position of the projector 10 and desired image quality. For example, in a case where the projector 10 is installed near the screen 50, the user may select the second projection lens 70 which is a short-focus lens. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
