Abstract: There are provided a light guide device that does not cause non-uniformity in image light and external light and does not cause ghosts, and a virtual image display apparatus provided with the light guide device. The light guide device includes a parallel light guide, an incident section, and an emission section. Here, the light guide device is set such that image light rays are reflected without reflecting from a boundary surface between the parallel light guide and the reflection unit and head for an observer. Thus, the image light rays only pass through half mirrors, which are positioned in positions where the image light rays are emitted from the reflection unit of the emission section or are positioned therearound. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent luminance non-uniformity or light reduction by reducing the number of times of the image light rays to be observed pass through the half mirrors.

Abstract: A virtual image display apparatus includes an image projection apparatus that emits image light, and a display optical system that forms a virtual image according to the image light from a liquid crystal device (image forming device). The display optical system is configured by at least two members having different refractive indices and bends the image light a plurality of times between mediums having different refractive indices in a predetermined direction. A cumulative value of an index for chromatic dispersion with respect to the predetermined direction on a refractive surface of each bent portion is smaller than or equal to a predetermined reference value.

Abstract: In a projection system, a nonaxisymmetric aspheric surface is used as a surface that is located in a position where in a pencil of light of video image light that exits from each of two points in different corner regions in an image plane that is a light exiting plane of an image display apparatus, light components that should reach a viewer's eyes do not intersect one another, whereby the size of an optical system can be further reduced and the size of an overall apparatus can therefore be reduced with a variety of types of optical precision, such as the resolution and angle of view, maintained.

Abstract: An apparatus has a see-through configuration that guides picture lights by a light guide device and superimposes lights from the outside world and the picture lights for visual recognition. The light guide device has a light guide prevention structure (light transmission prevention structure) provided in a narrow width shape part having a narrower shape than a surrounding part, and thereby, prevents unintended reflection or the like of lights due to the lights from the outside world and suppresses light guide of the lights toward an observer side.

Abstract: Providing an image extraction section with a plurality of video light reflection surfaces that are Fresnel-shaped reflection surfaces allows reduction in the thickness of a light guide apparatus and hence the thickness and size of a virtual image display apparatus. In particular, providing a dispersion elimination section for eliminating wavelength dispersion in correspondence with the image extraction section suppresses image deterioration resulting from dispersion (chromatic aberrations) on a wavelength band basis.

Abstract: A light guide member (10) includes three surfaces of a second surface (S12), a fourth surface (S14), and a fifth surface (S15) as two or more non-axisymmetric curved surfaces, and a projection lens (30) includes a lens surface (31a) as a non-axisymmetric aspheric surface. With this, on the light guide member side, even when there is a shape constraint that the first surface (S11) or the third surface (S13) which is a surface contributing to light guide is a flat surface, and correction of asymmetric aberration is limited, it becomes possible to perform sufficient aberration correction as the whole of an optical system including the projection lens. Therefore, the virtual image display apparatus can have a wide viewing angle and high performance, and can be made small and lightweight.

Abstract: An intermediate image is formed inside the prism by a projection lens or the like, and since an image light that is totally reflected at three or more surfaces; a third surface firstly, a first surface firstly, at a third surface secondly, at a first surface secondly, and the second surface in this order, transmits the first surface and then arrives at an observer's eyes, the thickness of the prism can be reduced and the size and weight of the entire optical system can be reduced, and it is possible to realize a display of high performance and brightness with a wide angle of view. Since the external light can be observed after passing through the first surface and the third surface, and the visibility at that time becomes substantially zero, it is possible to reduce the defocus or distortion of the external light when observing the external light.
