Air floating video display apparatus

An air floating video display apparatus configured to display an air floating video, the air floating video display apparatus comprising:

• a first housing configured to store a video controller;
• a second housing separately provided from the first housing, connected by wire or wirelessly to the first housing, attachable at a position near a ceiling or a rearview mirror in a vehicle, and configured to store a video display apparatus and have an opening through which video light from the video display apparatus is emitted;
• a retroreflector arranged outside the second housing, arranged so as to face the opening of the second housing, and having a λ/4 plate provided on a retroreflection surface;
• and
• a polarization separation member arranged at a predetermined angle with respect to the second housing and the retroreflector, in a space connecting the second housing and the retroreflector outside the second housing,
• wherein the polarization separation member is arranged such that one end side thereof is in contact with a surface having the opening of the second housing and the other side thereof is connected to the retroreflector,
• wherein the video display apparatus includes a light source apparatus and a liquid crystal display panel as a video source, and
• wherein a video light of a specific polarized wave emitted from the liquid crystal display panel passes through the opening of the second housing and through the polarization separation member, is reflected by the retroreflector, and passes through the λ/4 plate to be subjected to polarization conversion into a video light of the other polarized wave, the video light of the other polarized wave is reflected by the polarization separation member, and an air floating video that is a real image is displayed at a predetermined position on the basis of the reflected video light.
