Abstract
The present invention makes it possible to reduce a difference in resolution between respective regions of a virtual image while reducing distortion of an image. A translucent screen is disposed to be inclined with respect to an optical axis of projection light such that a difference between a first optical path length to a first reflection part of the display light emitted from a first end far from display light reflected toward a second reflection part by the first reflection part, and a second optical path length of display light emitted from a second end closer to reflected toward the second reflection part by the first reflection part than the first end becomes smaller.
Claims6
A virtual image display device comprising:
- a projector configured to emit projection light;
- a translucent screen configured to receive on a back surface side the projection light emitted from the projector to form an image, and to emit display light of the image from a front surface side;
- a first reflection part configured to reflect the display light emitted from respective regions arranged in a first direction of the translucent screen in order for the display light to cross with one another;
- and
- a second reflection part configured to reflect the display light reflected by the first reflection part to project the display light on a projection member located forward of a viewer,
- wherein the translucent screen is disposed inclined with respect to an optical axis of the projection light in such a manner that a difference between, a first optical path length of the display light emitted to the first reflection part from a first end being far from the display light reflected toward the second reflection part by the first reflection part and a second optical path length of the display light emitted from a second end being closer to the display light reflected toward the second reflection part by the first reflection part than the first end, becomes smaller than that when the translucent screen is disposed vertically to the optical axis of the projection light.
