When the image light emitted from such an image source is enlarged by a lens, not only the image constituted by the pixel area, but also the non-image area caused by the non-pixel area is enlarged, and only the image is obtained. In some cases, the non-video area may be visually recognized by the observer, which may hinder the display of a clear video.

The display device 1 is a so-called head mounted display (HMD) that is attached to the head of an observer and displays an image in front of the eyes of the observer. As shown in FIG. 1, the head-mounted display device 1 according to the present embodiment includes an image source 11, a lens 12, and an optical sheet 20 inside a housing 30. By wearing the head in front of the observer's eyes, the image displayed on the image source 11 can be visually recognized by the observer's eye E through the optical sheet 20 and the lens 12.
In FIG. 1, the display device 1 will be described with reference to an example in which an image is displayed on the observer's eyes E1 and E2. However, the display device 1 is not limited to this example. It is good also as a form arrange | positioned with respect to the eye E1, and displaying an image | video with respect to the eye E1.

The housing 30 is a rectangular box-shaped housing that is horizontally long in the left-right direction, and a holding unit 31 that holds the image source 11, a holding unit 32 that holds the optical sheet 20 (20 </ b> A, 20 </ b> B), and a lens inside thereof. 12 (12A, 12B) is provided. The housing 30 can be attached to the observer's head with, for example, a belt (not shown).
The holding unit 31 is a member that holds the image source 11, and a position corresponding to the eye E (E 1, E 2) and the lens 12 (12 A, 12 B) of the observer on the display surface 11 a side of the image source 11. Have openings 311 (311A, 311B). In the present embodiment, the video source 11 is detachably held by the holding unit 31 (that is, the display device 1). The video light L emitted from the video source 11 enters the lens 12 (12A, 12B) through the opening 311 (311A, 311B).

The holding unit 32 is a member that is positioned closer to the observer side (−Y side) than the holding unit 31 and the image source 11 and holds the optical sheet 20. In the holding part 32, the optical sheet 20 (20A, 20B) is fitted and held in the opening part 321 (321A, 321B) provided at a position corresponding to the opening part 311 (311A, 311B).
The holding unit 32 and the above-described holding unit 31 are integrally movable in the Y direction and can be fixed at a desired position in the Y direction. Therefore, the distance (position in the Y direction with respect to the lens 12) between the image source 11 and the optical sheet 20 and the lens 12 can be adjusted (focus adjustment is possible) according to the visual acuity of the observer. In addition, not only this but the holding | maintenance part 31 and the holding | maintenance part 32 are good also as a form by which the position of the Y direction was fixed.
The holding unit 33 is a member that is positioned closer to the observer side (−Y side) than the holding unit 32 and the optical sheet 20 and holds the lens 12 (12A, 12B). The holding portion 33 has an opening 331 (331A, 331B) at a position corresponding to the optical sheet 20 (20A, 20B), and the lens 12 (12A, 12B) is located in the opening 331 (331A, 331B). It is fitted and held.

The image source 11 is a micro display that emits image light L and displays an image on the display surface 11a. For example, a transmissive liquid crystal display device, a reflective liquid crystal display device, an organic EL, or the like may be used. it can. As the video source 11 of this embodiment, for example, an organic EL display having a diagonal of 5 inches is used.
The video source 11 is held by the holding unit 31 such that the display surface 11a is on the viewer side (−Y side).
In the present embodiment, the display device 1 has an example in which one video source 11 is provided. It is good also as a form provided with two video sources which do.

The lenses 12 (12A, 12B) are convex lenses that magnify the image light L emitted from the image source 11 and emit it to the viewer side. In the present embodiment, the image source 11 and the optical sheet 20 (20A, 20B) are arranged closer to the viewer (−Y side). The lens 12 is made of glass or resin with high translucency.
A reflection suppression layer 12 a is formed on the surface of the lens 12 on the image source side (back side, + Y side). The antireflection layer 12a is coated with a material having a general antireflection function (for example, magnesium fluoride (MgF ₂ ), silicon dioxide (SiO ₂ ), fluorine optical coating agent, etc.) with a predetermined film thickness. The image source of the lens 12 may be provided with a layer exhibiting a reflection suppressing function by having a moth-eye structure having a minute concavo-convex shape formed at a pitch smaller than the wavelength of light on the surface on the light incident side. Alternatively, they may be integrally laminated on the side.

By providing such a reflection suppressing layer 12a, the light incident on the lens 12 is reflected on the image source side of the lens 12, travels toward the optical sheet 20, and is reflected again on the surface of the optical sheet 20 to become stray light. This can be suppressed and the contrast and brightness of the video can be improved.
Further, the reflection suppressing layer 12a may be further provided on the surface of the lens 12 on the viewer side (−Y side). By further providing a reflection suppression layer 12a at this position, when image light is emitted from the lens 12, it can be prevented from being reflected at the interface between the lens 12 and air and becoming stray light in the lens 12, and image contrast. Etc. can be improved.

As shown in FIG. 1, the optical sheet 20 is disposed between the video source 11 and the lens 12. The lens 12 is a light-transmitting sheet having a diffusion function for slightly diffusing the image light L emitted from the image source 11.
In the present embodiment, lenses 12A and 12B and optical sheets 20A and 20B are provided corresponding to the observer's eyes E1 and E2, respectively. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, one optical sheet 20 that is large enough to cover the area of the lenses 12A and 12B may be arranged on the image source side (back side, -Y side) from the lens 12. Good.

Conventionally, the head-mounted display device 5 (hereinafter, referred to as a display device 5 of a comparative example) that has been mainly used is not provided with the above-described optical sheet 20 as shown in FIG. The video light L emitted from the video source 51 is enlarged by the lens 52 and the video is displayed to the observer.
A display such as an organic EL used for the video source 51 and the video source 11 has a plurality of pixel areas G1 that form an image on the display portion thereof, and does not contribute to the formation of an image between the pixel areas G1. A non-pixel region G2 is provided. Therefore, in the display device 5 of the comparative example, when the image displayed by the image light L emitted from the image source 51 is enlarged through the lens 52, as shown in FIG. In addition to the image F1 caused by the above, the non-image region F2 caused by the non-pixel region G2 is also enlarged. In addition, the non-video area F2 is also clearly visible to the observer, which may hinder clear video display.

  On the other hand, in the display device 1 of the present embodiment, by providing the above-described optical sheet 20, the image light emitted from the image source 11 is slightly diffused, and the diffused image is displayed as shown in FIG. It is possible to suppress the non-image area F2 caused by the non-pixel area G2 from being visually recognized by the observer.

As shown in FIG. 2, the optical sheet 20 of the present embodiment has a reflection suppression layer 24, a first optical layer 21, a second optical layer 22, and a third optical layer in order from the image source side (back side, + Y side). 23 are stacked. In the optical sheet 20, a plurality of unit shapes 21a and unit shapes 23a are formed on the interface between the first optical layer 21 and the second optical layer 22 and on the interface between the second optical layer 22 and the third optical layer 23, respectively. Yes.
The first optical layer 21 is a layer that is located on the image source side (+ Y side) with respect to the second optical layer 22 and the third optical layer 23 in the thickness direction (Y direction) of the optical sheet 20 and has optical transparency. is there. The image source side surface of the first optical layer 21 is formed substantially flat. A plurality of convex unit shapes 21 a are formed on the surface of the first optical layer 21 on the viewer side (−Y side) as shown in FIG. The unit shape 21a is convex on the observer side (−Y side).
The unit shapes 21a extend in the up-down direction (Z direction) and are arranged in the left-right direction (X direction) orthogonal to the extending direction so as to follow the surface on the viewer side of the first optical layer 21. ing. The unit shape 21a is a lenticular lens shape in which a cross-sectional shape on a plane (XY plane) parallel to the left-right direction and the thickness direction is formed in a substantially arc shape. Here, the “substantially arc shape” means not only a perfect circular arc but also a curved shape including a part such as an ellipse or an ellipse.

The third optical layer 23 is a layer having optical transparency located on the most observer side (−Y side) of the optical sheet 20. The surface on the observer side of the third optical layer 23 is a surface from which image light transmitted through the optical sheet 20 is emitted, and is formed to be substantially flat. On the image source side (+ Y side) surface of the third optical layer 23, as shown in FIG. 2B, a plurality of convex unit shapes 23a are formed. The unit shape 23a is convex toward the video source side (+ Y side).
A plurality of unit shapes 23 a are arranged in the vertical direction (Z direction) perpendicular to the extending direction, extending in the left-right direction (X direction) along the image source side surface of the third optical layer 23. The cross-sectional shape of the surface (YZ plane) parallel to the vertical direction and the thickness direction is a lenticular lens shape formed in a substantially arc shape.

When viewed from the thickness direction of the optical sheet 20 (the normal direction of the sheet surface, the Y direction), the extending direction (X direction) of the unit shape 23a provided in the third optical layer 23 and the first optical layer 21 are provided. The unit shape 21a intersects (orthogonal) with the extending direction (Z direction).
Further, when viewed from the thickness direction of the optical sheet 20 (the normal direction of the sheet surface, the Y direction), the arrangement direction (X direction) of the unit shapes 21a and the arrangement direction (Z direction) of the unit shapes 23a intersect (orthogonal). )doing.

  The second optical layer 22 is a light transmissive layer provided between the first optical layer 21 and the third optical layer 23. Both surfaces of the second optical layer 22 are arranged such that the surface on the unit shape 21a side of the first optical layer 21 and the surface on the unit shape 23a side of the third optical layer 23 face each other.

In the optical sheet 20 of the present embodiment, the half-value angle α of transmitted light incident at an incident angle of 0 ° from the surface on the image source side and emitted to the viewer side satisfies 0.05 ° ≦ α ≦ 0.2 °. The diffusion angle β at which the maximum luminance of transmitted light is 1/20 is formed so as to satisfy β ≦ 5 × α.
Here, the half-value angle α of the optical sheet 20 is, as shown in FIG. 3, the left and right sides of the screen with the position (observation angle 0 degree) at which the sheet surface of the optical sheet 20 where the luminance of light becomes the maximum is observed. In the direction and the vertical direction of the screen, it means the angle having the largest absolute value among the observation angles at which the luminance of light becomes half the maximum value. The diffusion angle β is the maximum value of the light luminance in the horizontal direction of the screen and the vertical direction of the screen with reference to the position (observation angle 0 degree) at which the sheet surface of the optical sheet 20 where the luminance of the light is the maximum is observed. Of the observation angle that is 1/20 of the absolute value.
Further, the optical sheet 20 of the present embodiment has a refractive index difference between adjacent optical layers, that is, a refractive index difference Δn1 between the first optical layer 21 and the second optical layer 22, and the second optical layer 22 and the third optical layer. The refractive index difference Δn2 of the layer 23 is formed so as to satisfy 0.005 ≦ Δn1 ≦ 0.1 and 0.005 ≦ Δn2 ≦ 0.1, respectively.

Thus, the range of the half-value angle α and the diffusion angle β of the optical sheet 20 and the range of the refractive index differences Δn1 and Δn2 of the layers adjacent to each other with the surface on which the unit shapes 21a and 23a are formed as an interface are defined. By doing so, the display device 1 of the present embodiment can slightly diffuse the image light L emitted from the image source 11 in the vertical direction and the left-right direction. Thereby, the display device 1 displays a clear image to the observer, and suppresses the non-image region F2 caused by the non-pixel region G2 of the image source 11 from being noticeable due to the minute diffusion of the image light L. can do.
From the viewpoint of more effectively achieving the above-described effect, it is more desirable that the diffusion angle β of the optical sheet 20 is approximately equal to or close to the half-value angle α.

If the half-value angle α is less than 0.05 °, the range in which the light is diffused by the optical sheet becomes too narrow, and the effect of making the non-image area F2 caused by the non-pixel area G2 inconspicuous is weakened. This is not desirable because the non-image area F2 is easily seen by an observer. On the other hand, when the half-value angle α is larger than 0.2 °, the range in which the image light is diffused becomes too wide, which is not desirable because the sharpness of the image is lowered.
Also, if the diffusion angle β is larger than 5 × α, the range in which the low-brightness video light is diffused becomes too wide, which is not desirable because the sharpness of the video is reduced.
Further, when the refractive index differences Δn1 and Δn2 are less than 0.005, the refractive index difference between the optical layers becomes too small, and the refraction of the image light between the optical layers is difficult to occur, so that a sufficient diffusing action cannot be exhibited. Therefore, it is not desirable. On the other hand, when the refractive index differences Δn1 and Δn2 are larger than 0.1, the refraction of light between the optical layers becomes too large, and the image light transmitted through the optical sheet becomes unclear, which is not desirable.

The first optical layer 21 and the third optical layer 23 are each formed of a highly light-transmitting PC (polycarbonate) resin, MS (methyl methacrylate / styrene) resin, acrylic resin, and the like. In this embodiment, Both the first optical layer 21 and the third optical layer 23 are made of the same material and have the same refractive index.
Further, the second optical layer 22 is made of a highly light transmissive urethane acrylate resin, an ultraviolet curable resin such as an epoxy acrylate resin, or the like. In the present embodiment, the first optical layer 21 and the third optical layer are used. The refractive index is lower than the refractive index of 23.

  Since the display device 1 enlarges and displays the image by the lens 12, the color blur (color spot) caused by the color dispersion by the optical sheet 20 is also enlarged and observed. Therefore, it is desirable to suppress the optical sheet 20 to such an extent that the color blur does not occur or the color blur is not noticeable. Color bleeding can be managed by defining the Abbe number of the material to be used for a single material. However, in the optical sheet 20 of the present embodiment, the first optical layer 21 and the third optical layer 23 are both formed of the same material, but the second optical layer 22 formed therebetween is different in material. The refractive index is also different. Therefore, it is difficult to suppress color bleeding by simply specifying the Abbe number.

Therefore, in the display device 1 using the optical sheet 20 composed of a plurality of materials having different refractive indexes, various experiments and examinations were conducted to study conditions that can suppress color blurring. As a result, it was possible to manage with the following value (Δν _d ), and an appropriate range was also found for the numerical range. Hereinafter, this condition will be described.

As described above, the first optical layer 21 and the third optical layer 23 are high refractive index optical layers formed of a resin having a higher refractive index than the second optical layer 22. The second optical layer 22 is a low refractive index optical layer formed of a resin having a lower refractive index than the first optical layer 21 and the third optical layer 23.
Here, Δν _d shown below is defined as an index for managing color bleeding.
Let n _1F be the refractive index of the high refractive index optical layer with respect to the F-line.
The refractive index for the d-line of the high refractive index optical layer is n _1d .
The refractive index with respect to the C line of the high refractive index optical layer is n _1C .
The refractive index for the F-line of the low refractive index optical layer is n _2F .
The refractive index for the d-line of the low refractive index optical layer is n _2d .
The refractive index for the C-line of the low refractive index optical layer is n ₂ C.
Let the refractive index ratio in the F-line be Δn _F = n _1F / n _2F .
The refractive index ratio at the _d -line is Δn _d = n _1d / n _2d .
The refractive index ratio in the C line is set to Δn _C = n _1C / n _2C .
From each of these refractive indexes, the following index Δν _d is defined.
Δν _d = (Δn _d −1) / (Δn _F −Δn _C )

Next, how the value of Δν _d actually becomes will be described with a specific example.
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the refractive index and Abbe number of the resin used for the first optical layer 21, the second optical layer 22, and the third optical layer 23.
Here, five types of resins A, B, C, D, and E were prepared. For each, the refractive index n _F for the F line (wavelength 486 nm), the refractive index n _1d for the d line (wavelength 589 nm), the refractive index n _1C for the C line (wavelength 656 nm), and the Abbe number are shown for reference.

As the combination of resins used for the first optical layer 21, the second optical layer 22, and the third optical layer 23, the optical sheet 20 having four types of configurations is actually manufactured from the five types of resins shown in FIG. When the image source 11 was displayed in white, the color blur was visually observed. The observation result is shown in FIG. 7 together with the calculated value of the index Δν _d .
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating observation results of the optical sheet 20 having four types of configurations and a calculated value of the index Δν _d .
In the configuration of Δν _d = 8.1505 in the configuration 1, a slight color blur was left.

On the other hand, in the case of Δν _d = 12.154 in configuration 3, no color blur was observed. In addition, no color blur was observed in the configurations 2 and 4 in which Δν _d was larger than that in the configuration 3.
Therefore, color blur can be suppressed if Δν _d ≧ 10 is satisfied. In the optical sheet 20 of the present embodiment, the resin configuration of Configuration 2 to Configuration 4 in FIG. 7 is adopted, and an image with suppressed color bleeding can be observed.

Here, the upper limit of Δν _d is not defined, but this is due to the following reason.
The index Δν _d proposed here is an index unique to the present invention, but is a value similar to the concept of the Abbe number. The Abbe number can be expressed by the following equation.
Abbe number ν _d = (n _d −1) / (n _F −n _C )
In the present invention, the concept of the Abbe number is further developed, focusing on the refractive index ratio between the high refractive index optical layer and the low refractive index optical layer, and using this refractive index ratio, a calculation formula close to the Abbe number Is used to obtain the index Δν _d .
A large Abbe number indicates that the dispersion is small, and the smaller the dispersion, the better. Therefore, when suppressing color bleeding in a single material optical member, there is no need to define the upper limit of the Abbe number.
Similarly, the larger the numerical value of the index Δν _d of the present invention, the smaller the chromatic dispersion of the optical sheet 20 as a whole. Therefore, the larger the value of this index Δν _{d is} , the more desirable. . Therefore, in order to reduce color blur, only the lower limit needs to be specified.

When the cross-sectional shape of the unit shape 21a in the XY cross section is formed in an arc shape, as shown in FIG. 2C, the left-right direction (X direction) of the unit shape 21a formed in the first optical layer 21 The unit shape 21a is formed in the range of 0.05 ≦ P1 / R1 ≦ 1.0, where P1 is the arrangement pitch in R and the radius of curvature of the arc-shaped cross-sectional shape in the XY cross section of the unit shape 21a is R1. Is desirable.
Similarly, when the cross-sectional shape in the YZ cross section of the unit shape 23a is formed in an arc shape, as shown in FIG. 2D, the vertical direction of the unit shape 23a formed in the third optical layer 23 (Z Direction), the unit shape 23a is in the range of 0.05 ≦ P2 / R2 ≦ 1.0, where R2 is the radius of curvature of the arc-shaped cross-sectional shape in the YZ cross section of the unit shape 23a. It is desirable to be formed.

Thus, by forming the arrangement pitches P1 and P2 and the curvature radii R1 and R2 of the unit shapes 21a and the unit shapes 23a in the above-described range, the display device 1 efficiently and uniformly distributes the image light emitted from the image source 11. Can be slightly diffused vertically and horizontally.
In the optical sheet 20 of the present embodiment, the unit shape 21a and the unit shape 23a have the same cross-sectional shape, and are formed such that P1 = P2 and R1 = R2.

  In the present embodiment, the arrangement pitch P1 of the unit shapes 21a and the arrangement pitch P2 of the unit shapes 23a preferably satisfy 0.1 mm ≦ P1 ≦ 0.5 mm and 0.1 ≦ P1 ≦ 0.5 mm, respectively. . If the arrangement pitches P1 and P2 are less than 0.1 mm, it is difficult to manufacture the unit shapes 21a and 23a having such dimensions, and a light diffraction phenomenon is likely to occur. This is not preferable because the image becomes unclear. Moreover, when arrangement pitch P1, P2 is larger than 0.5 mm, the line between adjacent unit shapes may be visually recognized, and it is not preferable.

Furthermore, the optical sheet 20 of the present embodiment is provided with a reflection suppressing layer 24 on the image source side (back side, + Y side) of the first optical layer 21.
The reflection suppression layer 24 is, for example, a material having a general antireflection function (for example, magnesium fluoride (MgF ₂ ), silicon dioxide (SiO ₂ ), in the same manner as the reflection suppression layer 12 a provided on the image source side of the lens 12. ₂ ), a fluorine-based optical coating agent, etc.) may be provided by coating with a predetermined film thickness. In addition, when the image source 11 is fixed to the display device and cannot be removed, the moth-eye structure having a minute uneven shape formed at a pitch smaller than the wavelength of the light is provided on the light incident side surface. Thus, a layer exhibiting a reflection suppressing function may be integrally laminated on the image source side of the optical sheet 20.

By providing the reflection suppression layer 24 on the image source side of the optical sheet 20, the brightness of the image due to the light incident on the optical sheet 20 being reflected by the image source side surface of the optical sheet 20 toward the image source 11 side. Can be suppressed.
Further, by providing the reflection suppressing layer 24 on the image source side of the optical sheet 20, the light incident on the optical sheet 20 is reflected by the surface of the optical sheet 20 on the image source side and travels toward the image source 11 side. It is possible to prevent stray light from being reflected again on the display surface 11a and improve the contrast of the image.

The antireflection layer 24 may be further provided on the surface of the optical sheet 20 on the viewer side (−Y side). By further providing the reflection suppressing layer 24 at this position, when image light is emitted from the optical sheet 20, it can be reflected at the interface between the optical sheet 20 and air, and can be suppressed to become stray light in the optical sheet 20, The contrast of the video can be improved.
Further, a layer having a hard coat function, an antifouling function, or the like may be provided on the image source side (+ Y side) surface of the optical sheet 20. By providing such a layer, when the image source 11 is detachable from the housing 30, the optical sheet 20 may be damaged or soiled when the image source 11 is removed from the housing 30. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the hindrance to visual recognition of the video.

In the display device 1 of the present embodiment, the distance D1 from the display surface 11a of the image source 11 in the Y direction to the image source side (−Y side) surface of the optical sheet 20 is the arrangement pitch of the pixel region G1 of the image source 11. Dimension d (100 times or more of the two arrangement directions of the pixel region G1 when the arrangement pitch is different). If the distance D1 is less than 100 times the dimension d, it is not preferable because moire due to the pixel area G1 is visually recognized or a non-video area due to the non-pixel area G2 is easily observed.
Generally, the arrangement pitch d of the pixel region G1 of the video source 11 used in the display device 1 is 400 to 500 ppi (pixel per inch). In the present embodiment, for example, the arrangement pitch d of the pixel regions G1 of the video source 11 is d = 0.0508 mm (500 ppi), and the video source side (−Y side) of the optical sheet 20 from the display surface 11a of the video source 11. ) To the surface in the Y direction is 5.08 mm.

Further, as described above, the display device 1 according to the present embodiment has the optical sheet 20 positioned closer to the image source side (+ Y side) than the lens 12, so that the image source 11 can be attached to and detached from the housing 30. 1, the lens 12 is not damaged or soiled by foreign matter such as dust or dust that has entered the housing when the video source 11 is removed from the housing 30. Further, even when the image source side of the optical sheet 20 is contaminated with foreign matter or the like, it is possible to wipe off the unit shape without damaging it.
In particular, the antireflection layer having a moth-eye structure has a high antireflection effect, but it is important that the antireflection layer is provided at a position where an observer's finger or the like cannot be touched because it easily breaks. In the display device 1 of the present embodiment, since the optical sheet 20 is positioned closer to the image source side (+ Y side) than the lens 12, such an antireflection layer is provided on the observer side of the optical sheet 20 or the image source side of the lens 12. And the like, and a higher reflection suppression effect can be obtained, and the contrast and brightness of the image can be improved.

Next, an operation until the image light L emitted from the image source 11 reaches the observer's eyes E (E1, E2) will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the image light L emitted from the image source 11 is incident on the image source side (+ Y side) surface of the optical sheet 20 (20A, 20B). Then, the image light L incident on the optical sheet 20 is transmitted through the first optical layer 21, and in the left-right direction (X direction) by the unit shape 21 a at the interface between the first optical layer 21 and the second optical layer 22. It diffuses slightly and passes through the second optical layer 22.
The image light L transmitted through the second optical layer 22 is slightly diffused in the vertical direction (Z direction) by the unit shape 23a formed at the interface between the second optical layer 22 and the third optical layer 23, and the third The light passes through the optical layer 23 and is emitted from the surface on the viewer side (−Y side) of the optical sheet 20.
The video light L that has passed through the optical sheet 20 enters the lens 12 (12A, 12B). Then, the image light L is magnified by the lens 12 and emitted to the observer side (−Y side).

The image light L is slightly diffused in the left-right direction and the vertical direction by the optical sheet 20. Therefore, even when the image is magnified by the lens 12, the image visually recognized by the observer's eye E is compared with the display device 5 of the comparative example as shown in FIG. 4 (FIG. 5B). Reference), the non-image area F2 caused by the non-pixel area G2 of the image source 11 can be suppressed as much as possible, and a clear image can be displayed.
In addition, as described above, since the sufficient distance D1 is provided between the video source 11 and the optical sheet 20, the non-video area F2 is conspicuously observed by appropriately diffusing the video light. And the occurrence of moire and the like by the pixel region G1 and the non-pixel region G2 can be sufficiently suppressed.

Further, by combining the resins so as to satisfy the index Δν _d ≧ 10, it is possible to observe a good image with suppressed color bleeding (color spots).

Next, the manufacturing method of the optical sheet 20 used for the display apparatus 1 of this embodiment is demonstrated.
As described above, the unit shapes 21a and the unit shapes 23a provided in the first optical layer 21 and the third optical layer 23 of the optical sheet 20 are formed in the same shape. Using a mold provided with a concave shape corresponding to the unit shape, a sheet-like member on which the unit shape is formed is formed by an extrusion molding method, an injection molding method, or the like.
Then, the sheet-like member on which the unit shape is formed is cut into a predetermined dimension, and the first optical layer 21 and the third optical layer 23 are obtained.
Thus, when the unit shape 21a and the unit shape 23a are formed in the same shape, the first optical layer 21 and the third optical layer 23 can be cut out simultaneously from one sheet-like member, and the optical sheet 20 Manufacturing efficiency can be improved.

Subsequently, a resin for forming the second optical layer 22 is filled on the surface of the first optical layer 21 on the unit shape 21a side, and the resin and the surface of the third optical layer 23 on the unit shape 23a side are pasted. In addition, the resin is cured in a state where a predetermined distance is provided between the first optical layer 21 and the third optical layer 23. At this time, the first optical layer 21 and the third optical layer 23 are arranged such that the extending direction of the unit shape 21a and the extending direction of the unit shape 23a intersect (orthogonal) each other.
Accordingly, the first optical layer 21, the second optical layer 22, and the third optical layer 23 are sequentially stacked. Furthermore, the optical sheet 20 is completed by providing the antireflection layer 24 on the surface of the first optical layer 21 (the surface opposite to the second optical layer 22 side).

  As described above, the display device 1 of the present embodiment has at least two or more optical layers between the video source 11 and the lens 12, and a plurality of unit shapes 21a and 23a are formed at the interface between the optical layers. Refractive index differences Δn1 and Δn2 of the adjacent optical layers provided with the optical sheet 20 and having unit shapes 21a and 23a formed at the interfaces are 0.005 ≦ Δn1 ≦ 0.1 and 0.005 ≦ Δn2 ≦ 0.1, respectively. The distance D1 from the display surface 11a of the image source 11 to the image source side (+ Y side) surface of the optical sheet 20 is 100 times or more the arrangement pitch d of the pixel region G1. As a result, the display device 1 can slightly diffuse the video light L emitted from the video source 11, displays a clear video to the observer, and causes non-pixel regions G <b> 2 of the video source 11. It is possible to suppress the video region F2 from being visually recognized by the observer.

Further, as described above, since the optical sheet 20 is positioned on the video source side (+ Y side) of the lens 12 in the display device 1 according to the present embodiment, the video source 11 is removed from the display device 1 (housing 30). Even in such a state, the lens 12 can be protected from foreign matter such as dust and dirt that has entered, and the lens 12 is not damaged or soiled by the foreign matter. Even when it becomes dirty or cloudy, it can be wiped off without damaging the unit shape.
In the display device 1 of the present embodiment, the video source 11 and the optical sheet 20 can move together in the Y direction, and the video source 11 is moved in the Y direction for focus adjustment or the like. Also, the distance D1 between the image source 11 and the optical sheet 20 can be moved in the Y direction while keeping the distance D1 constant. Therefore, the focus adjustment operation can be performed while maintaining the diffusion effect of the optical sheet 20 that suppresses the non-image area F2 caused by the non-pixel area G2 from being visually recognized by the observer.
In addition, the display device 1 of the present embodiment includes the reflection suppression layer 24 on the image source side (incident side, + Y side) surface of the optical sheet 20, and the reflection suppression layer 12 a on the image source side surface of the lens 12. Since it is provided, stray light can be suppressed and the brightness and contrast of the image can be improved.

  In the display device 1 of the present embodiment, the unit shape 21a is convex, and the Z direction (first direction) in the sheet surface (XZ surface) orthogonal to the thickness direction (Y direction) of the optical sheet 20 is used. ) And arranged in the X direction (second direction) orthogonal to the Z direction in the sheet plane, and the cross-sectional shape in the cross section (XY plane) parallel to the thickness direction and the arrangement direction of the optical sheet 20 is substantially circular. It is formed in an arc shape. Similarly, the unit shape 23a is convex, extends in the X direction in the sheet surface (XZ surface) orthogonal to the thickness direction (Y direction) of the optical sheet 20, and is orthogonal to the X direction in the sheet surface. The cross-sectional shape in the cross section (YZ plane) arranged in the Z direction and parallel to the thickness direction and the arrangement direction of the optical sheet 20 is formed in an arc shape. Thereby, the display device 1 can efficiently and evenly diffuse the image light passing through the unit shapes 21a and 23a.

  In the display device 1 of the present embodiment, the half-value angle α of the transmitted light incident on the optical sheet 20 at the incident angle 0 satisfies 0.05 ° ≦ α ≦ 0.2 °, and the maximum luminance is 1/20. The diffusion angle β of the optical sheet 20 is formed so as to satisfy β ≦ 5 × α. As a result, the image light L emitted from the image source 11 can be slightly diffused, and a clear image is displayed to the observer, and the non-image region F2 caused by the non-pixel region G2 of the image source 11 is observed. The effect which suppresses being visually recognized by the person can be heightened.

  Further, in the display device 1 of the present embodiment, the optical sheet 20 has three or more optical layers, and the unit shape 21a and the unit shape 23a provided at each interface between adjacent optical layers in the sheet surface. The extending direction (Z direction, X direction) is orthogonal (intersect) when viewed from the thickness direction of the optical sheet 20. Thereby, the display apparatus 1 can diffuse the image light emitted from the image source 11 in a plurality of directions (left and right directions and vertical directions), and more non-image areas caused by the non-pixel areas of the image source 11 can be obtained. It can be effectively inconspicuous.

Furthermore, by combining the resins so as to satisfy the index Δν _d ≧ 10, it is possible to observe a good image with suppressed color bleeding (color spots).

The cross sections of the unit shapes 21 a and 23 a in the arrangement direction of the unit shapes 21 a of the first optical layer 21 and the unit shapes 23 a of the third optical layer 23, and in the cross sections along the arrangement directions and the thickness direction of the optical sheet 20. The shape is not limited to the above example, and may be changed as appropriate.
Below, the other form of the optical sheet 20 used for the display apparatus 1 of this embodiment is demonstrated.

  For example, in the optical sheet 20, the extending direction of the unit shape 21a is the vertical direction (Z direction), the extending direction of the unit shape 23a is the left-right direction (X direction), and an example in which these are orthogonal to each other has been described. The extending direction of the unit shape 21a of the optical sheet 20 is a direction inclined by 45 ° with respect to the horizontal direction (inclined by 45 ° with respect to the vertical direction), and the extending direction of the unit shape 23a is with respect to the horizontal direction. The extending direction of the unit shape 21a and the extending direction of the unit shape 23a may intersect (in this case, orthogonal) when viewed from the Y direction.

The angle at which the extending direction of the unit shape 21a of the optical sheet 20 is inclined with respect to the vertical direction (Z direction) and the angle at which the extending direction of the unit shape 23a is inclined with respect to the left and right direction (X direction) are However, the angle is not limited to 45 °, and may be, for example, 15 ° or 30 °. The extending direction of each unit shape is appropriately set according to the pixel arrangement of the video source 11 or the desired optical performance. Good. Thereby, the effect of making the non-video region F2 caused by the non-pixel region G2 inconspicuous can be further enhanced.
Further, the extending direction of one unit shape may intersect with the extending direction of the other unit shape at an angle other than orthogonal. Even in such a form, it is possible to further enhance the effect of making the non-video region F2 caused by the non-pixel region G2 inconspicuous.

8 and 9 are diagrams illustrating details of another form of the optical sheet 20 used in the display device 1 of the present embodiment.
Fig.8 (a) is a perspective view of the optical sheet 20 of another form. FIG. 8B is a bb cross-sectional view of FIG. FIG.8 (c) is cc sectional drawing of Fig.8 (a). FIG. 9A is a diagram showing details of a part of FIG. 8B, and FIG. 9B is a diagram showing details of part b of FIG. 8C.
Regarding other forms of the optical sheet 20 shown below including the optical sheets 20 of other forms shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. A duplicate description is omitted. Further, for the sake of facilitating understanding, the drawings showing other forms of the optical sheet 20 shown below including FIGS. 8 and 9 show a form without the antireflection layer 24. The reflection suppression layer 24 as described above may be provided on the image source side (back side, + Y side) of the optical layer 21.
The x direction, y direction, and z direction shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 are orthogonal to each other, and the y direction is parallel to the Y direction. The x direction is 45 ° with respect to the X direction, and the z direction is 45 ° with respect to the Z direction.

In the optical sheet 20 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the unit shape 21a formed on the surface on the viewer side (−y side, −Y side) of the first optical layer 21 is shown in FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b). As shown in FIG. 3, the first optical layer 21 extends along the x direction inclined by 45 ° with respect to the left-right direction (X direction) and extends along the viewer side of the first optical layer 21 with respect to the vertical direction (Z direction). Are arranged in the z direction inclined by 45 °. As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8C, the unit shape 23a formed on the image source side (+ y side, + Y side) surface of the third optical layer 23 is the image source side of the third optical layer 23. Are extended in the z direction inclined by 45 ° with respect to the vertical direction (Z direction), and are arranged in a plurality of x directions inclined by 45 ° with respect to the left and right direction (X direction).
The extension direction (x direction) of the unit shapes 21a and the extension direction (z direction) of the unit shapes 23a intersect (orthogonal), and the arrangement direction (z direction) of the unit shapes 21a and the arrangement of the unit shapes 23a The direction (x direction) intersects (perpendicular).

In addition, the unit shape 21a is formed in a so-called prism shape in which a cross-sectional shape on a plane (yz plane) parallel to the z direction and the y direction is substantially triangular. Similarly, the unit shape 23a is formed in a so-called prism shape in cross section in a plane parallel to the x direction and the y direction (xy plane).
Here, the substantially triangular shape is not only a triangular shape including an isosceles triangle and an equilateral triangle, but also a shape in which the top of the triangular shape is chamfered to a curved surface or a plane, or a triangular slope is slightly curved. It also includes the shape.

8 and 9, each of the unit shapes 21a and 23a is parallel to the thickness direction of the optical sheet 20, and the cross-sectional shape in the cross section parallel to the arrangement direction is an isosceles triangle. ing. Further, the unit shapes 21a and 23a are formed in a state in which their isosceles triangles are continuous in each arrangement direction.
As shown in FIG. 9A, the arrangement pitch of the unit shapes 21a in the z direction is P1, the apex angle of the unit shapes 21a is θ1, and as shown in FIG. 9B, the unit shapes 23a in the x direction. The arrangement pitch is P2, and the apex angle of the unit shape 23a is θ2. The arrangement pitches P1 and P2 and the apex angles θ1 and θ2 are, for example, P1 = P2 = 0.2 mm and θ1 = θ2 = 175 °.

  In the optical sheet 20 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, it is desirable that the arrangement pitches P1 and P2 of the unit shapes 21a and 23a satisfy 0.1 mm ≦ P1 ≦ 0.5 mm and 0.1 mm ≦ P2 ≦ 0.5 mm, respectively. . If the arrangement pitches P1 and P2 are less than 0.1 mm, it is difficult to manufacture the unit shapes 21a and 23a having such dimensions, and a light diffraction phenomenon is likely to occur. This is not preferable because the image becomes unclear. Moreover, when arrangement pitch P1, P2 is larger than 0.5 mm, the line between adjacent unit shapes may be visually recognized, and it is not preferable.

For human eyes, a line extending in the left-right direction (X direction) tends to be more visible than a direction inclined with respect to the left-right direction, a line extending in the vertical direction (Z direction), or the like. .
Therefore, as described above, by tilting the extending direction of each unit shape with respect to the left-right direction, the display device 1 of the present embodiment can visually recognize the line caused by the unit shape to the observer. It is possible to make it difficult for the observer to visually recognize the displayed image.

The optical sheet 20 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 has a refractive index difference Δn1 between the first optical layer 21 and the second optical layer 22, and a refractive index difference Δn2 between the second optical layer 22 and the third refractive index layer. The range is preferably the same as in the above-described embodiment.
The optical sheet 20 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 has an arrangement pitch of the pixel regions G1 of the video source 11 as d, and an eye E of an observer wearing the display device 1 from the display surface 11a of the video source 11 (this display device 1). The position of the eye E of the observer assumed in FIG. 1 is D2 (see FIG. 1), and the maximum transmitted light incident from the image source side and emitted from the observer side at an incident angle of 0 °. The diffusion angle γ at which the luminance becomes 1/10 is formed so as to satisfy the following expression (1). Further, it is more preferable that the half-value angle α of the transmitted light incident from the image source side and emitted from the observer side at an incident angle of 0 ° is formed so as to satisfy the following formula (2).
Formula (1) arctan (d / D2) ≦ γ ≦ 3 × arctan (d / D2)
Expression (2) arctan (d / D2) ≦ α ≦ 3 × arctan (d / D2)

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating the relationship between the luminance and the diffusion angle of the optical sheet 20 according to another embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9.
The relationship between the brightness and the diffusion angle of the optical sheet 20 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 has two peaks corresponding to the unit-shaped slope formed in a substantially triangular shape, as shown in FIG. Or a waveform having a wide peak width as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 10 (a), the diffusion angle γ is a position that is the center of two peaks (the luminance axis in FIG. 10 (a), and the center position of a wide peak in FIG. 10 (b)). (The luminance axis in FIG. 10 (b)), the angle having the largest absolute value among the observation angles at which the luminance of the transmitted light is 1/10 of the maximum value in the horizontal direction of the screen and the vertical direction of the screen. Say.
Further, the half-value angle α of the optical sheet 20 is a position that is the center of two peaks (the luminance axis in FIG. 10A, and the center position of a wide peak in FIG. 10B (FIG. 10 ( b) is the angle having the largest absolute value among the observation angles at which the luminance of light is half the maximum value in the horizontal direction of the screen and the vertical direction of the screen.

If the diffusion angle γ is less than arctan (d / D2), the range in which light is diffused by the optical sheet 20 becomes too narrow, and the non-image area F2 caused by the non-pixel area G2 is conspicuously observed. This is not desirable. In addition, when the diffusion angle γ is larger than 3 × arctan (d / D2), the range in which the image light is diffused becomes too wide, resulting in image blurring and reduced image clarity. So undesirable.
In addition, even when the half-value angle α is less than arctan (d / D2), as in the case of the diffusion angle γ, the range in which light is diffused by the optical sheet becomes too narrow, and the non-pixel region G2 becomes smaller. This is not desirable because the non-video area F2 that is the cause is conspicuous and easily visible. Also, when the half-value angle α is larger than 3 × arctan (d / D2), as in the case of the diffusion angle γ, the range in which the image light is diffused becomes too wide and the image becomes blurred. This is not desirable because the sharpness of the image is reduced.

If the refractive index difference Δn1 between the first optical layer 21 and the second optical layer 22 and the refractive index difference Δn2 between the second optical layer 22 and the third optical layer 23 are larger than 0.1, It is not desirable because it is necessary to form each unit shape in a flat shape so as to satisfy the above formulas (1) and (2), and it becomes difficult to manufacture an optical sheet having such a unit shape. .
In addition, in the optical sheet 20 of the other form shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, it is refracted from the viewpoint of facilitating manufacture and refracting light to a degree sufficient to make the non-image area F2 inconspicuous. The rate differences Δn1 and Δn2 are more preferably 0.05.

  In the above description and FIGS. 8 and 9, the unit shapes 21 a and 23 a are parallel to the thickness direction of the optical sheet 20, and the cross-sectional shape in a cross section parallel to the arrangement direction of the unit shapes is an isosceles triangle shape. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the unit shapes 21a and 23a may have the following forms.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing another form of the unit shape 21 a provided in the optical sheet 20 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. Each diagram in FIG. 11 corresponds to FIG. 9A. 11 illustrates another form of the unit shape 21 a of the first optical layer 21, the same applies to the unit shape 23 a of the third optical layer 23.
For example, as shown in FIG. 11A, a triangular top in the same cross section may be formed by a curved surface S1, or as shown in FIG. 11B, the triangular top is a flat surface S2. It is good also as a form formed by.
Further, as shown in FIG. 11C, a triangular slope in the same cross section may be formed by curved surfaces S3 and S4 that are slightly curved instead of a flat surface.
The optical sheet in which each unit shape is in the form as described above can achieve the same effects as the optical sheet shown in FIG.

FIG. 12 is a view for explaining another form of the optical sheet 20 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. 12A is a cross-sectional view in a cross section (XY cross section) parallel to the thickness direction (Y direction) and parallel to the left-right direction (X direction), and FIG. Is a cross-sectional view in a cross section (YZ cross section) parallel to the vertical direction (Z direction).
8 and 9, the unit shapes 21a and 23a are substantially triangular (prism shape) in cross section, and the unit shape 21a is in the x direction inclined by 45 ° with respect to the left-right direction (X direction). A plurality of unit shapes 23a are arranged in the z direction inclined 45 ° with respect to the vertical direction (Z direction), and the unit shape 23a extends in the z direction inclined 45 ° with respect to the vertical direction (Z direction). Although a plurality of optical sheets arranged in the x direction inclined by 45 ° with respect to the left and right direction (X direction) are shown, the present invention is not limited to this.

For example, in the optical sheet 20 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the unit shape 21a extends in the vertical direction (X direction) as shown in FIG. 12A, and a plurality of unit shapes 21a are arranged in the left-right direction (X direction). As shown in FIG. 12B, the unit shape 23a may extend in the left-right direction (X direction) and be arranged in a plurality in the vertical direction (Z direction).
In the optical sheet 20 shown in FIG. 12, the refractive index difference Δn1 between the first optical layer 21 and the second optical layer 22, and the refractive index difference Δn2 between the second optical layer 22 and the third optical layer 23 are as described above. It is preferable that it is the same range as a form.
Even if the optical sheet 20 has such a form, the image light emitted from the image source 11 is slightly diffused as in the above-described embodiment, and as shown in FIG. It is possible to suppress the non-video region F2 caused by the region G2 from being visually recognized by the observer.

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating another form of the optical sheet 20 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. 13A is a cross-sectional view in a cross section (XY cross section) parallel to the thickness direction (Y direction) and parallel to the left-right direction (X direction). FIG. 13B is a cross section in the thickness direction (Y direction). Is a cross-sectional view in a cross section (YZ cross section) parallel to the vertical direction (Z direction). FIG. 13C is a perspective view of the first optical layer 21 as viewed from the surface on the viewer side (−Y side).
As shown in FIG. 13, the optical sheet 20 is configured by two layers of a first optical layer 21 and a second optical layer 22, and is on the viewer side (−Y side) surface of the first optical layer 21. The substantially quadrangular pyramid shaped unit shapes 21a may be arranged without a plurality of gaps in the vertical direction and the left-right direction. Here, the substantially quadrangular pyramid shape is not only a complete quadrangular pyramid shape, but also a shape in which the top of the quadrangular pyramid is chamfered to a curved surface or a plane, or a shape in which each triangular slope of the quadrangular pyramid is slightly curved Etc. are also included. In addition, the substantially quadrangular pyramid-shaped unit shapes 21a shown in FIG. 13 may be arranged in a direction inclined (for example, inclined by 45 °) with respect to the vertical direction (Z direction) and the horizontal direction (X direction). .

Further, as shown in FIG. 13, even when the optical sheet 20 is configured to have two layers of the first optical layer 21 and the second optical layer 22, the index Δν _d ≧ 10 is satisfied. By combining the resins, it is possible to observe a good image with suppressed color bleeding (color spots).

  Even if the optical sheet 20 is configured as shown in FIG. 13, the image light emitted from the image source 11 is slightly diffused, and the non-pixel region G2 is caused by the diffused image light as shown in FIG. It is possible to suppress the video region F2 from being visually recognized by the observer. Further, the layer configuration can be reduced as compared with the optical sheet 20 shown in FIG. 2 and the optical sheet 20 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, and the optical sheet 20 can be made thinner and lighter. It becomes. Furthermore, it becomes possible to manufacture the optical sheet 20 more easily and inexpensively.

FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating another form of the optical sheet 20 used in the display device 1 of the present embodiment. FIG. 14A is a cross-sectional view in a cross section parallel to the horizontal plane (XY plane) of the optical sheet 20, and FIG. 14B is a cross-sectional view of part b in FIG. 14A. FIG. 14C is a diagram showing details of the portion c in FIG. 14A, and FIG. 14D is a diagram showing details of the portion d in FIG. 14B.
The optical sheet 20 shown in FIG. 14 has a plurality of convex unit shapes 21 a formed at the interface between the first optical layer 21 and the second optical layer 22, and is convex at the interface between the second optical layer 22 and the third optical layer 23. A plurality of unit shapes 23a are formed.

On the viewer side (−Y side) surface of the first optical layer 21, as shown in FIG. 14A, unit shapes 21a and flat portions 21b are alternately provided. The unit shapes 21a and flat portions 21b extend in the vertical direction (Z direction) and are arranged in the left-right direction (X direction) so as to be along the surface of the first optical layer 21 on the viewer side. .
Further, on the image source side (+ Y side) surface of the third optical layer 23, as shown in FIG. 14B, a plurality of unit shapes 23a and flat portions 23b are alternately formed. The unit shapes 23a and flat portions 23b extend in the left-right direction (X direction) and are arranged in the vertical direction (Z direction) along the surface of the third optical layer 23 on the image source side. .
The unit shape 23a and the flat portion 23b provided in the third optical layer 23 are extended in the extending direction (X direction) of the unit shape 21a and the flat portion 21b provided in the first optical layer 21 described above. (Z direction) and intersect (orthogonal).

In the optical sheet 20 of another form shown in FIG. 14, the unit shape 21 a is convex from the viewer side surface (the −Y side surface) of the first optical layer 21, as shown in FIG. It is formed so that the cross-sectional shape in the XY cross-section becomes a substantially arc shape. Here, the “substantially arc shape” means not only a perfect circular arc but also a curved shape including a part such as an ellipse or an ellipse.
In the optical sheet 20 shown in FIG. 14, the unit shape 21a is formed in an arc shape, the radius of curvature is R1, and the width dimension in the left-right direction (X direction) is W1. The arrangement pitch in the left-right direction of the unit shapes 21a (flat portions 21b) is P1.

Similarly, as shown in FIG. 14D, the unit shape 23a is convex from the image source side surface (+ Y side surface) of the third optical layer 23, and the cross-sectional shape in the YZ cross section is formed in a substantially arc shape. Has been. In the optical sheet 20 shown in FIG. 14, the unit shape 23a is formed in an arc shape, the radius of curvature is R2, and the width dimension in the vertical direction (Z direction) is W2. The arrangement pitch in the vertical direction of the unit shapes 23a (flat portions 23b) is P2.
Furthermore, each unit shape and each flat portion provided in the first optical layer 21 and the third optical layer 23 are formed to have the same dimensions, for example, W1 = W2 = 0.1 mm, P1 = P2 = 0.24 mm and R1 = R2 = 0.5 mm.

In the optical sheet 20 shown in FIG. 14, the arrangement pitch P1 of the unit shapes 21a and the arrangement pitch P2 of the unit shapes 23a preferably satisfy 0.1 mm ≦ P1 ≦ 0.5 mm and 0.1 mm ≦ P2 ≦ 0.5 mm. .
If the arrangement pitches P1 and P2 are less than 0.1 mm, the arrangement interval of the unit shapes becomes too fine, and the influence of the diffracted light becomes large and the image becomes unclear. In addition, it is difficult to manufacture unit shapes.
Further, if P1 and P2 are larger than 0.5 mm, the arrangement interval of the unit shapes 21a and 23a becomes too coarse, which is not desirable because the non-image area F2 is easily visible to the observer.
In the optical sheet 20 shown in FIG. 14, the refractive index difference Δn1 between the first optical layer 21 and the second optical layer 22, and the refractive index difference Δn2 between the second optical layer 22 and the third optical layer 23 are as described above. It is preferable that it is the same range as embodiment.

The optical sheet 20 shown in FIG. 14 is emitted from the image source 11, and out of the light incident from the image source side surface of the optical sheet 20, the light transmitted through the flat portion 21b and the flat portion 23b is directly emitted to the observer side. In addition, the light incident on the unit shape 21a can be diffused in the left-right direction, and the light incident on the unit shape 23a can be diffused in the vertical direction and emitted to the lens 12 side.
As a result, the display device 1 displays a clear image to the observer and suppresses the non-image region F2 caused by the non-pixel region G2 of the image source 11 from being noticeable due to the minute diffusion of the image light. can do. In particular, since the light transmitted through the flat portion 21b and the flat portion 23b is hardly diffused, the image light reaching the observer can be displayed more clearly by adopting such a form.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing the relationship between the luminance and the diffusion angle of the optical sheet 20 of another form shown in FIG.
In order to effectively exhibit the above-described effect, the optical sheet 20 shown in FIG. 14 is transmitted light that is incident at an incident angle of 0 ° from the image source side and emitted from the viewer side, as shown in FIG. In the range where the diffusion angle in the left-right direction and the vertical direction is in the range of -0.1 ° to 0.1 °, the luminance of the light is close to the maximum luminance and the diffusion angle is 0.1 ° to 0.3 °. It is formed so as to maintain a predetermined luminance even in a range of not more than ° and in a range of not less than −0.3 ° and not more than −0.1 °.
Specifically, the transmitted light amount in the range where the diffusion angle in the left-right direction and the vertical direction is −0.1 ° or more and 0.1 ° or less is 30% or more of the total transmitted light amount transmitted through the optical sheet 20, respectively. The transmitted light amount in the range where the diffusion angle in the left-right direction and the vertical direction is −0.3 ° or more and 0.3 ° or less is set to be 95% or more of the total transmitted light amount transmitted through the optical sheet 20.

Furthermore, the transmitted light amount in the range where the diffusion angle in the left-right direction and the vertical direction of the optical sheet 20 shown in FIG. 14 is 0.1 ° or more and 0.3 ° or less becomes 20% or more of the total transmitted light amount transmitted through the optical sheet 20. The transmitted light amount in the range where the diffusion angle is −0.3 ° or more and −0.1 ° or less is 20% or more of the total transmitted light amount transmitted through the optical sheet 20.
Here, the diffusion angle of the optical sheet 20 refers to an observation angle in the horizontal direction of the screen and the vertical direction of the screen from the observation position on the sheet surface of the optical sheet 20 where the luminance of the light reaches the maximum value.

As described above, by defining the amount of transmitted light in the specific diffusion angle range of the optical sheet 20 shown in FIG. 14, the display device 1 of the present embodiment allows the flat portion 21 b of the image light emitted from the image source 11. , 23b can be transmitted without almost diffusing, and the light incident on the unit shapes 21a, 23a can be slightly diffused in the vertical direction and the left-right direction.
Thereby, the display device 1 displays a clear image to the observer and suppresses the non-image region F2 caused by the non-pixel region G2 of the image source 11 from being noticeable due to the minute diffusion of the image light. be able to. In particular, since light transmitted through the flat portions 21b and 23b is hardly diffused, by using such an optical sheet 20, it is possible to deliver a clearer image to an observer and blurring of the image occurs. It can be suppressed as much as possible.

If the transmitted light amount when the diffusion angle is −0.1 ° or more and 0.1 ° or less is less than 30% of the total transmitted light amount transmitted through the optical sheet 20 shown in FIG. 14, the amount of light reaching the observer side is small. It is not desirable because it becomes too much and the sharpness of the video is lost and blurred.
Further, when the amount of transmitted light when the diffusion angle is −0.3 ° or more and 0.3 ° or less is less than 95% of the total amount of transmitted light transmitted through the optical sheet 20 shown in FIG. 14, the amount of image light reaching the viewer side. This is not desirable because the image becomes too small and the image becomes dark.
Furthermore, the amount of transmitted light when the diffusion angle is 0.1 ° or more and 0.3 ° or less and the amount of transmitted light when the diffusion angle is −0.3 ° or more and −0.1 ° or less represent the optical sheet 20 shown in FIG. When the total amount of transmitted light is less than 20%, the minute diffusion of the image light by the unit shapes 21a and 23a becomes too small, and the non-image area F2 caused by the non-pixel area G2 of the image source 11 is conspicuous. Since it becomes easy, it is not desirable.

Furthermore, in the optical sheet 20 of another form shown in FIG. 14, the transmitted light amount in the range where the diffusion angle in the left-right direction and the vertical direction of the optical sheet 20 is −0.1 ° or more and 0.1 ° or less is different from the optical sheet 20. The transmitted light amount is 30% or more of the total transmitted light amount and the diffusion angle is in the range of 0.5 × sin ⁻¹ (d / D2) to 5 × sin ⁻¹ (d / D2). 20% or more, and the transmitted light amount in the range where the diffusion angle is −5 × sin ⁻¹ (d / D2) or more and −0.5 × sin ⁻¹ (d / D2) or less is 20% of the total transmitted light amount. Even in the case described above, the same effects as described above can be obtained.
In other words, the display device 1 can slightly diffuse the image light emitted from the image source 11 in the vertical direction and the left-right direction, displays a clear image with less blur to the observer, and non-pixels of the image source 11. It is possible to suppress the non-video region F2 caused by the region G2 from being visually recognized by the observer. In addition, a specific diffusion angle range can be appropriately defined according to the specifications of the display device 1 (pixel arrangement pitch d and distance D2 between the eye E of the observer and the display surface 11a). Efficiently clear video display and suppression of visual recognition of the non-video area F2 can be realized.

16, FIG. 17, and FIG. 18 are diagrams illustrating another form of the optical sheet 20 shown in FIG. FIGS. 16 (a), 17 (a), and 18 (a) correspond to FIG. 14 (a), respectively, and FIGS. 16 (b), 17 (b), and 18 (b). ) Are diagrams corresponding to FIG. 14B, respectively.
In the optical sheet 20 of another form shown in FIG. 14, the unit shape 21a is convex from the surface on the observer side (−Y side) of the first optical layer 21, as shown in FIG. The cross-sectional shape may be triangular, the unit shape 23a may be convex from the image source side (+ Y side) surface of the third optical layer 23, and the cross-sectional shape in the YZ cross section may be triangular.

Further, the unit shapes 21a and 23a may be concave instead of convex.
For example, as shown in FIG. 17, the unit shape 21a is a concave shape that is recessed from the surface on the observer side (−Y side) of the first optical layer 21, and the cross-sectional shape in the XY cross section is formed in an arc shape. Alternatively, the two convex surfaces may be opposed to each other in the left-right direction.
Similarly, the unit shape 23a is a concave shape recessed from the image source side (+ Y side) surface of the third optical layer 23, and the cross-sectional shape in the XY section is two convex surfaces formed in an arc shape in the vertical direction. It is good also as a form which mutually opposes.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 18, the unit shape 21 a is a concave shape that is recessed from the viewer-side surface (the surface on the −Y side) of the first optical layer 21, and the cross-sectional shape in the XY cross-section is triangular. The cross-sectional shape in the YZ cross section may be a triangular shape, and may include a unit shape 23a that is a concave shape recessed from the image source side surface (+ Y side surface) of the third optical layer 23.
Even in the convex or concave form as described above, the display device 1 is not diffusing the light transmitted through the flat part 21b and the flat part 23b out of the light emitted from the video source 11 on the viewer side. In addition to being emitted, the light incident on the unit shape 21a can be slightly diffused in the left-right direction, and the light incident on the unit shape 23a can be slightly diffused in the vertical direction and emitted to the viewer side.
As a result, the display device 1 displays a clear image with less blur to the observer, and the non-image region F2 caused by the non-pixel region G2 of the image source 11 is conspicuously observed by minute diffusion of the image light. This can be suppressed.

FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating another form of the head-mounted display device 1 of the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 19, the optical sheet 20 may be disposed closer to the observer side (−Y side) than the lens 12. Even if such an arrangement is adopted, the display device 1 displays a clear image with less blur to the observer and a non-image region caused by the non-pixel region G2 of the image source 11 due to a slight diffusion of the image light. It can suppress that F2 is observed conspicuously.
As shown in FIG. 19, even if the optical sheet 20 is arranged closer to the observer side (−Y side) than the lens 12, color bleeding can be obtained by combining the resins so as to satisfy the index Δν _d ≧ 10. A good image with suppressed (color spots) can be observed.
