- the head-mounted display 300 includes a temple 250 and a waveguide 260 connected to the temple 250.
- the waveguide 260 has a light emitting region such as a diffraction grating.
- the laser beam incident on the waveguide 260 may be emitted from the light emitting region of the waveguide 260 toward the retina of the user's eye.
- One end of the temple 250 is located on the waveguide 260 side, in other words, on the user's face side, and the other end of the temple 250 is located on the opposite side of the waveguide 260, in other words, on the user's ear side. ..
- the direction at both ends of the temple 250 is the 2D direction
- the direction perpendicular to the direction is the 1D direction.
- the 1D direction is the direction from the user's chin to the head (or vice versa)
- the 2D direction is the direction from the user's ears to the eyes (or vice versa).
- the light emitting device 100 (200) is supported inside the temple 250.
- the light emitting device 100 (200) is described so as to be visible on the side surface, but the appearance of the light emitting device 100 (200) is not actually visible from the outside.
- the size of the light emitting device 100 (200) in the first direction or the 1D direction is, for example, 3 mm or more and 15 mm or less, which is smaller than the size of the temple 250 in the 1D direction.

With the light emitting device 100 (200) miniaturized in the 1D direction, the size of the temple 250 in the 1D direction can be miniaturized. Further, as shown in the figure, the length of the temple 250 in the 2D direction has a length that secures the distance from the user's eyes to the ears, and thus is the size of the light emitting device 100 (200) in the 2D direction. If it is small to some extent, it is presumed that even if it becomes smaller than that, it does not contribute to the miniaturization of the head-mounted display 300 in the 2D direction.

- the focused spot of the beam on the retina it is preferable to make the focused spot of the beam on the retina as small as possible in order to achieve high resolution. From this point of view, a longer focal length is preferable. On the other hand, if the focal length is lengthened, the amount of light that does not enter the lens surface of the lens member 40 increases, and the loss of light may increase. In particular, in the case of laser light, since the spread of light is larger in the fast axis direction than in the slow axis direction, the loss is more likely to be affected in the fast axis direction.
- the shape of the laser beam is larger in the slow axis direction of FFP than in the fast axis direction. Therefore, when the focal lengths of the slow axis and the fast axis are collimated with the same lens, the focusing spot on the retina becomes large in the slow axis direction.
- the lens surface of the lens member 40 it is preferable to design the lens surface of the lens member 40 so that the focal length in the slow axis direction is longer than the focal length in the fast axis direction. As a result, the size of the focused spot in the slow axis direction can be reduced without increasing the loss of the laser beam.

It recognizes the degree of freedom of design by those skilled in the art, and specifies that the invention described in the claims is applied.
- the light emitting device can be used for a head-mounted display, a projector, lighting, a display, and the like.
