Abstract
An optical system is configured to guide a light beam from a display surface to a pupil surface. The optical system includes, in order from a pupil surface side to a display surface side, a front group having a first lens having positive refractive power, and a rear group having a plurality of lenses. A surface closest to the pupil surface of the rear group is a first transmissive reflective surface, and a surface closest to the display surface of the rear group is a second transmissive reflective surface. A predetermined inequality is satisfied.
