Image display device 80 has: the lighting device 81 that penetrates illumination light; Image display element 82 as the spatial light modulating apparatus of transmission-type; And for controlling the drive control part 84 of the action of lighting device 81 and image display element 82.
The lighting device 81 of image display device 80 has: the light source (not shown) that produces the light that comprises three kinds of colors of red, green, blue; And the 81b of backlight light-guiding portion that makes to become from the light diffusion of this light source the light beam of square-section.Image display element 82 is the image elements that formed by for example liquid crystal display device, and it carries out spatial modulation to the illumination light from lighting device 81, thereby forms the image light that will become the demonstration objects such as dynamic image.Drive control part 84 possesses light source driving circuit 84a and liquid crystal display drive circuit 84b.Light source driving circuit 84a supplies with electric power to lighting device 81, thereby penetrates the illumination light of brightness stability.Liquid crystal display drive circuit 84b, by image display element (image element) 82 output image signals or driving signal, forms as transmitance pattern basic colored image light or the image light that becomes dynamic menu or tableaux thus.In addition,, although can make liquid crystal display drive circuit 84b there is image processing function, also can make external control circuit there is image processing function.
Below, the light path of image light GL of virtual image display apparatus 100 etc. is described.The image light GL penetrating from image display element (image element) 82 is projected camera lens 30 and assembles, then incide the 4th S14 that is arranged on the positive focal power of having of light guide member 10 (refracting power) (after, be converted to plane of refraction and represent the focal power of reflecting surface).
By the image light GL after the 4th S14 of light guide member 10, be converged and advance, the 5th S15 when via the 2nd light guide 12 with relatively weak positive focal power reflects, then from inner side, again incide the 4th S14, accept positive focal power and be reflected.
By the image light GL of the 4th S14 of the 2nd light guide 12 reflection, in the 1st light guide 11, incided and there is the 3rd S13 of relatively weak positive focal power and total reflection occurs, and incide and there is the 1st S11 of relatively weak negative focal power and total reflection occurs.In addition, image light GL, by the front and back of the 3rd S13, forms intermediary image in light guide member 10.The image planes II of this intermediary image is corresponding with the image planes OI of image display element 82.
By the image light GL of the 1st S11 total reflection, incided the 2nd S12, and particularly incide the image light GL of half-reflecting mirror layer 15, a part sees through this half-reflecting mirror layer 15, and a part is reflected and again incides the 1st S11 and pass through the 1st S11.In addition, half-reflecting mirror layer 15 plays a role as the structure for the image light GL being here reflected with relatively strong positive light coke.In addition the structure that, the 1st S11 has negative power as the image light GL for by the 1st S11 plays a role.
By the image light GL after the 1st S11, as the light beam of almost parallel, incide pupil or its equivalent locations of observer's eye E Y.That is, observer observes the image forming on image display element (image element) 82 by the image light GL as the virtual image.
