Image display device

An image display device comprising:

• an image display unit;
• a relay lens system configured to form an image displayed on the image display unit as an intermediate image;
• a reflection/transmission unit configured to reflect a portion of an incident light and to transmit the rest of the incident light;
• and
• a curved mirror, to which a luminous flux of the image emitted from the relay lens system and reflected by the reflection/transmission unit is incident from the reflection/transmission unit, configured to reflect the luminous flux incident thereto to the reflection/transmission unit and to enable an observer to observe a virtual image of the image through the reflection/transmission unit,
• wherein:
• the relay lens system forms the intermediate image, on an optical axis, at a position between a position where the light is reflected by the reflection/transmission unit and a position where the light reflected by the reflection/transmission unit is incident to the curved mirror, and
• in a cross section passing through an optical axis of the curved mirror and perpendicular to a horizontal direction of a field of view of the observer, a distance from the optical axis of the curved mirror to a light emission surface of the relay lens system is shorter than or equal to a distance from the optical axis of the curved mirror to a maximum reflection position indicating a position where a luminous flux emitted from an end of the image display unit is reflected at the curved mirror.
