Abstract
A head-mounted image display apparatus includes: a light source that emits laser light; a splitter that splits the laser light into first laser light and second laser light having a different optical intensity than the first laser light; an image drawing section that causes the first laser light to be reflected off a mirror and causes the mirror to make pivotal motion to perform image drawing; a controller that controls the pivotal motion of the mirror; and a notification section that notifies other persons by diffusing the second laser light that the image drawing section is performing image drawing.

A head-mounted image display apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a light source that emits laser light;
- a splitter that splits the laser light into first laser light and second laser light, the second laser light having a different optical intensity than the first laser light;
- an image drawing section that performs image drawing with the first laser light;
- and
- a notification section that receives the second laser light and thereupon emits a notification that the image drawing section is performing the image drawing.
A head-mounted image display apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a light source that emits laser light;
- a splitter that splits the laser light into first laser light and second laser light, the second laser light having a different optical intensity than the first laser light;
- an image drawing section that performs image drawing by using the first laser light;
- and
- a notification section that emits a notification by using the second laser light that the image drawing section is performing the image drawing.
A head-mounted image display apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a light source that emits laser light;
- a splitter optically communicating with the light source, the splitter receiving and splitting the laser light into first laser light and second laser light, the second laser light having an optical intensity lower than that of the first laser light;
- an image drawing section optically communicating with the splitter, the image drawing section receiving and drawing an image with the first laser light;
- and
- a notification section optically communicating with the splitter, the notification section receiving the second laser light and thereupon emitting a visibly recognizable notification indicating that the image drawing section is drawing the image.
