Virtual image display apparatus

A virtual image display apparatus comprising:

• a video element which generates a video light;
• a light guide member which includes two or more non-axisymmetric curved surfaces and is a part of an optical system, an intermediate image being formed inside the light guide member;
• and
• a projection lens which emits the video light from the video element to the light guide member,
• wherein the projection lens includes at least one non-axisymmetric aspheric surface,
• the light guide member includes a first surface and a third surface that are flat surfaces substantially in parallel with each other and arranged to face each other,
• the video light is totally reflected by the third surface, is totally reflected by the first surface, is reflected by a second surface, is transmitted through the first surface, and reaches an observation side,
• the light guide member includes a fourth surface which is arranged on a light incidence side from the third surface and reflects the video light toward the third surface, and a fifth surface which reflects the video light toward the fourth surface,
• the second surface, the fourth surface, and the fifth surface are non-axisymmetric curved surfaces.
