Virtual image display device

A virtual image display device comprising:

• an image light generating unit that generates an image light;
• a first mirror that reflects the image light;
• a second mirror that reflects the image light reflected by the first mirror;
• and
• a third mirror that transmits an external light
• and that reflects, toward a position of an exit pupil, part of the image light reflected by the second mirror, wherein
• the first mirror has a reflective film reflecting the image light, and a light absorption film being provided on a surface opposite to a surface with the reflective film,
• the reflective film of the first mirror has an angular dependence such that a reflectance of the first mirror varies depending on an angle of incidence of the image light reaching the first mirror from the light generator unit,
• the third mirror has an angle-dependent reflectance such that a reflectance with respect to light incident at an angle greater than 45° is higher than a reflectance with respect to light incident at an angle of 45° or less, and
• the light absorption film of the first mirror absorbs the external light passed thought the third mirror.
