Abstract
A light-shielding member that moderates the contact pressure is provided. The light-shielding member reduces external light to be incident to the eyes of a user who is wearing a head-mounted display and includes an attachment portion that is attached to a housing of the head-mounted display and a light-shielding wall extending backwardly from the attachment portion. The light-shielding wall includes at least at part thereof bellows that come into contact with the periphery of the eyes of the user who is wearing the head-mounted display and are deformed to expand and contract in response to the contact pressure.

A light-shielding member that reduces external light to be incident to eyes of a user who is wearing a head-mounted display, comprising:
- an attachment portion that is attached to a housing of the head-mounted display;
- and
- a light-shielding wall extending backwardly from the attachment portion,
- wherein the light-shielding wall includes at least at part thereof bellows that come into contact with a periphery of the eyes of the user who is wearing the head-mounted display and are deformed to expand and contract in response to a contact pressure, the bellows include a plurality of bellows portions, wherein each respective bellows portion of the plurality of bellows portions includes bellows, and at least one cutout located on an innermost mountain ridge portion or a valley ridge portion of the bellows and forms an indentation in the bellows.
A head-mounted display comprising:
- a housing;
- a mounting band that extends backwardly from the housing and is to be mounted on a head of a user;
- and
- a light-shielding member that reduces external light to be incident to eyes of the user, wherein the light-shielding member includes an attachment portion that is attached to the housing, and a light-shielding wall extending backwardly from the attachment portion, and wherein the light-shielding wall includes at least at part thereof bellows that come into contact with a periphery of the eyes of the user who is wearing the head-mounted display and are deformed to expand and contract in response to a contact pressure, the bellows includes right and left bellow portions which include at least one cutout provided in an innermost mountain ridge portion or a valley ridge portion of the right and left bellows portions, the cutout forming an indentation in the bellows.
A light-shielding member that reduces external light to be incident to eyes of a user who is wearing a head-mounted display, comprising:
- an attachment portion that is attached to a housing of the head-mounted display;
- and
- a light-shielding wall extending backwardly from the attachment portion, wherein the light-shielding wall includes at least at part thereof bellows that come into contact with a periphery of the eyes of the user who is wearing the head-mounted display and are deformed to expand and contract in response to a contact pressure, the bellows including a cutout;
- a nose accommodation portion at a lower portion of the light-shielding member and into which a nose of the user who is wearing the head-mounted display is accommodated, wherein the nose accommodation portion includes an opening which opens backwardly and includes at least a first light-shielding portion that reduces external light to be incident to the eyes of the user through the opening, and wherein the nose accommodation portion is arranged in front of the first light-shielding portion and further includes a second light-shielding portion that reduces external light to be incident to the eyes of the user through the opening.
