Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a virtual image display device capable of setting an aspect ratio to a desired state with respect to image light that enters eyes of an observer as a virtual image while satisfying limitations on design.SOLUTION: By extending conversion in an aspect ratio converting optical system, an aspect ratio of a virtual image formed can be converted to an aspect ratio of 16:9 wider than an original aspect ratio of 4:3 of an image region of an image display device. Accordingly, for example, even when a lateral width of an image forming device including the image display device with respect an entire virtual image display device is limited by design and an aspect ratio of the image region cannot be set to a relatively wider aspect ratio, for example 16:9, required for video and becomes an aspect ratio close to that of a square, for example aspect ratio of 4:3, an aspect ratio of image light recognized by eyes of an observer as the virtual image can be adjusted to a desired state, for example the aspect ratio of 16:9, by aspect ratio conversion by means of a cylindrical lens.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light guide plate for a virtual image display device which can emit virtual image light which is image light in the state where luminance unevenness and video unevenness are suppressed and light use efficiency is comparatively high and to provide a virtual image display device.SOLUTION: Any image light incident on an image take-out part 23 is reflected by a first reflecting surface 23a and a second reflecting surface 23b in two stages. In this case, among the image light, not only can light flux which has a small total reflection angle be made directly incident on the side near a light incidence part among respective reflecting units, but also light flux which has a large total reflection angle at a light guide part can be made directly incident on the side far from the light incidence part among the respective reflecting units to make it possible to be taken out to the outside. Thus, since it is not necessary for the image light to pass through the image take-out part 23 for multiple times, the image light is emitted as virtual image light effective for an observer in the state where luminance unevenness and video unevenness are suppressed and light use efficiency is high.
