- the light is emitted in a substantially rectangular area (shape viewed from the display surface side) that covers a predetermined range of the retroreflective sheet 5, or the position corresponding to one or more through holes 5a of the retroreflective sheet 5 is covered with a margin (through It is assumed that light is emitted from an area that also covers a predetermined range around the hole 5a.
- the end portion of the light emitting portion 4b of the light guide plate 4 is set long in the light guide direction (Y-axis direction) from the position directly facing the outermost through hole 5a of the retroreflective sheet 5.
- FIG. This long end is determined in consideration of light distribution, positional accuracy of members, etc., rather than the position where the optical axis extends in the opposite direction from the through hole 5a of the retroreflective sheet 5 and reaches the vicinity of the back side of the light guide plate 4. It is a position outside the .

- the horizontal viewing range of the aerial display I is, for example, ⁇ 40 degrees.
- FIG. 4 is a view from the display surface side showing an example of an aerial display device 1' serving as a comparative example.
- 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line XX in FIG. 4.
- an aerial display device 1' includes a linear light source 3' and a light guide plate 4' forming a planar light emitter in a frame 2' having a substantially rectangular opening 2a'. are placed.
- the linear light source 3' is a light source that emits linear light along the longitudinal direction of the light incident side surface 4a' of the light guide plate 4'.
- the light guide plate 4' is made of a transparent material such as polycarbonate or acryl, guides the light incident from the light incident side surface 4a' to the end side, and is formed by an optical element provided on the rear surface (non-display surface) side. The light is reflected to the display surface side by the light emitting portion 4b'.
- a retroreflective sheet 5' is arranged so as to cover the opening 2a' with the reflective surface facing the light guide plate 4' side.
- a half mirror 6' is arranged on the display surface side of the frame 2' so as to cover the opening 2a', and a top cover 7' is superimposed on the outside of the half mirror 6'.

- the optical element 4c' is formed by cutting from the light guide plate 4' with a cutting tool such as a cutting tool, or by using a cutting tool to form ridges corresponding to the optical element 4c'.
- An optical element 4c' is formed in the process of forming the light plate 4'.
- the edge E of the optical element 4c' has a narrow width and a shallow depth, which reduces the amount of light reflected toward the exit surface side and makes the pattern boundary of the aerial display unclear.
- the path of the light is long and there are many interfaces through which the light passes. That is, in FIG. 5, the light emitted from the light emitting portion 4b' travels along the path L1' ⁇ path L2' ⁇ path L3', and passes through the surface of the light guide plate 4' (the surface on the display surface side) and the back surface of the half mirror 6'.
- the front and back surfaces of the light guide plate 4′ the surface (reflective surface) of the retroreflective sheet 5′, the back and front surfaces of the light guide plate 4′, the back and front surfaces of the half mirror 6′, and the back and front surfaces of the top cover 7′.
- the long path of light makes it easy for light to diffuse, and the large number of interfaces makes it easy for light to diffuse and attenuate due to fine irregularities on the interface and impurities inside the transparent resin. becomes unclear.
- the light emitted from the light emitting portion 4b travels along the path L1 ⁇ path L2 ⁇ path L3, and passes through the surface of the light guide plate 4, the back surface of the half mirror 6, and the retroreflective sheet 5.
- the light passes through the front surface (reflecting surface), the rear surface and front surface of the half mirror 6, and the rear surface and front surface of the top cover 7, resulting in fewer interfaces to pass through and a shorter passage length of the transparent resin.
- the pattern boundary of the aerial display can be made clear.
- the cause of the above-mentioned "light emitting part is visible" is that in the comparative example of FIGS. 4 and 5, the light distribution from the light emitting part 4b' of the light guide plate 4' is not controlled, ' to eyepoint EP'. It is conceivable to control the light distribution so that the light from the light emitting portion 4b' of the light guide plate 4' does not go directly to the eye point EP', but it is difficult to completely eliminate the light going to the eye point EP'. Therefore, even if the light distribution is controlled, some unnecessary light directly advances to the eye point EP'.
- FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a state in which the light-emitting portion 4b of the light guide plate 4 is made invisible by light distribution control of the light-emitting portion 4b.
- the light emitted from the light emitting portion 4b of the light guide plate 4 through the path L0 is greatly suppressed by the light distribution control, and the light of the normal path L1 becomes the main light, so that the light emitting portion is not seen.
- FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the shape of the optical element 4c that constitutes the light emitting portion 4b of the light guide plate 4.
- the concave optical element having a V-shaped cross section is illustrated here, a concave optical element having a polygonal cross section or a top-flat arc-shaped cross section (arc-shaped with a flattened tip) may be used. It may be an optical element.
- the pitch at which the optical elements 4c are arranged is, for example, 0.1 mm, but the value of the pitch is not limited to this value.
- FIG. 10 is a diagram showing values defining a concave optical element (FIG. 9) having a V-shaped cross section as an example of the optical element 4c.
- the optical element 4c is defined by a width D, an apex angle, and a base angle (angle A) on the light rising side.
- the width D is 0.1 mm
- the apex angle is 60 degrees
- the angle A is a variable.
- apex angle 60 degrees
- angle A 32 degrees from the simulation results.
- the horizontal visual field range of ⁇ 40 degrees is realized by light distribution in the horizontal direction by the linear light source 3 . Note that the light distribution control not only prevents the light emitting portion from being seen, but also eliminates light emission in useless directions, thereby increasing the light efficiency and improving the brightness.
- FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a state in which the light-emitting portion 4b is hidden by the light-shielding sheet 9 provided with the through holes 9a.
- the difference from FIG. 2 is that a plurality of through holes 9a corresponding to the through holes 5a of the retroreflective sheet 5 are shifted as new optical members between the retroreflective sheet 5 and the light guide plate 4.
- the difference is that the provided light shielding sheet 9 is provided.

- FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a state in which the light-emitting portion 4b is hidden by the polarizing reflecting sheet 11, the retardation film 12, and the polarizing reflecting sheet 13.

- a polarizing reflection sheet 11 is arranged between the retroreflection sheet 5 and the light guide plate 4 . Incidentally, the polarizing reflection sheet 11 only needs to cover the through holes 5a of the retroreflection sheet 5, but it may be laminated over the entire surface.
- the retardation film 12 is arranged on the exit surface side of the retroreflective sheet 5 , and has through holes 12 a at the same positions as the through holes 5 a of the retroreflective sheet 5 .
- the phase difference of the retardation film 12 is ⁇ /4
- the retardation axis in the XY plane is the polarization axis of the incident light (reflection axis or transmission axis of the polarizing reflection sheet 13, basically reflecting
- the axis and transmission axis are arranged horizontally or vertically, resulting in a positive or negative 45° tilt with respect to the X or Y axis.
- the polarizing reflecting sheet 13 is provided in place of the half mirror 6 ( FIG. 2 ), and is arranged so that the transmission axis (direction of polarized light to be transmitted) is orthogonal to the polarizing reflecting sheet 11 .
- the light emitted from the light emitting portion 4b of the light guide plate 4 along the path L0 is polarized by the polarizing reflection sheet 11 and oscillates, for example, in the depth direction of the drawing. It passes through the through holes 12 a of the retardation film 12 and reaches the polarizing reflection sheet 13 . The state of polarization does not change in the through holes 5a and 12a.
- the polarizing reflection sheet 13 is arranged in a direction to pass polarized waves vibrating, for example, in the vertical direction in the figure, the light on the path L0 is suppressed.
- the light emitted from the light emitting portion 4b of the light guide plate 4 along the path L1 is polarized by the polarizing reflection sheet 11 and vibrates, for example, in the depth direction of the paper surface of the drawing. It passes through 12 through-holes 12 a and reaches the polarizing reflection sheet 13 .
- the polarizing reflection sheet 13 is arranged, for example, in a direction to pass the polarized wave vibrating in the vertical direction in the figure, almost all of it is reflected to form a path L2, passes through the retardation film 12, and is retroreflected. The light is retroreflected by the sheet 5, passes through the retardation film 12 again, and becomes the path L3.
- the polarized wave changes to vibrate in the vertical direction, passes through the polarizing reflection sheet 13, and becomes part of the aerial display I.
- a depolarizing sheet for example, Cosmo Shine SRF manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd.
- the polarizing reflecting sheet 13 polarization If it is arranged on the visible side of the reflective sheet 13 and the absorption type polarizing sheet 13A of FIG. 17 or 18), the aerial display I can be visually recognized.
- the cause of the above "multiple images are visible" is that in the comparative example shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the interface when passing through the light guide plate 4' mainly on the paths L2' and L3' is visible. It depends. In this respect, in the embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 2, the light exiting through the through holes 5a of the retroreflective sheet 5 on the path L1 does not pass through the interface of the light guide plate 4, so multiple images are visible. will be gone.
- FIGS. 14 to 18 show the light from the light emitting portion 4b of the light guide plate 4 through the through hole 5a of the retroreflective sheet 5 in the eyepoint direction by the polarizing reflecting sheets 11 and 13 and the retardation film 12 explained in FIG.
- This is an improved example of a configuration (polarization configuration) that makes the light emitted directly to the polarizer invisible. That is, in the configuration of FIG. 13, return light (light traveling in the opposite direction of path L1) reflected by polarized light reflecting sheet 13 of polarized light oscillating in the vertical direction of path L3 passes through through holes 12a and 5a. It passes through and hits the polarizing reflection sheet 11 .
- the polarizing reflection sheet 13 basically reflects polarized light vibrating in the depth direction of the drawing, but also reflects some polarized light vibrating in the vertical direction of the drawing. Since the polarizing reflecting sheet has a lower degree of polarization than the absorbing polarizing sheet, it transmits and reflects polarized light in directions other than the transmission axis direction. In other words, the polarizing reflection sheet alone has a low degree of polarization and the transmission axis is shifted from the horizontal/vertical direction, which causes the aperture to appear. Also, the transmission axis of the polarizing reflection sheet 13 is slightly deviated from the horizontal and vertical directions.
- the retardation film 12 does not have a delay amount of ⁇ /4 for all wavelengths in the visible range, the polarization of the light on the path L3 is completely polarized light that oscillates vertically in the figure. It's not working.
- the polarizing reflection sheet 13 reflects not only the light on the path L3 but also the polarized light that oscillates in the vertical direction. Since the polarizing reflection sheet 11 transmits polarized waves in the depth direction in the drawing and reflects polarized waves oscillating in the vertical direction in the drawing, the returned light, which is polarized waves oscillating in the vertical direction in the drawing, is reflected. The light passes through the outer polarizing reflection sheet 13 as it is and goes out.
- the light transmitted through the polarizing reflecting sheet 11 is reflected by a planar light emitter (a prism sheet may be included in addition to the light guide plate 4 and the reflecting sheet 8), and part of the light transmitted through the polarizing reflecting sheet 11 passes through the polarizing reflection sheet 13 .
- a planar light emitter a prism sheet may be included in addition to the light guide plate 4 and the reflecting sheet 8
- part of the light transmitted through the polarizing reflecting sheet 11 passes through the polarizing reflection sheet 13 .
- the openings of the through holes 12a and 5a appear as if they are shining, and the visibility of the aerial display I is reduced.
- the countermeasure is the configuration of FIG.
- FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view of the aerial display device 1 showing a first improved example of the configuration of FIG. 14 differs from the configuration of FIG. 13 in that the polarizing reflecting sheet (reflecting polarizing sheet) 11 is replaced with an absorbing polarizing sheet 11A. It is the same as the reflective sheet 11 .
- a reflective polarizing sheet has a property of reflecting polarized light that is not transmitted, whereas an absorptive polarizing sheet has a property of absorbing polarized light that is not transmitted.
- the transmission axis of the absorbing polarizing sheet 11A is hardly deviated from the horizontal or vertical direction of the sheet.
- the light emitted from the light emitting portion 4b of the light guide plate 4 along the path L1 is absorbed by the absorptive polarizing sheet 11A, for example, the polarized wave component vibrating in the vertical direction of the drawing paper. It becomes a polarized wave vibrating in a direction, passes through the through hole 5 a of the retroreflective sheet 5 and the through hole 12 a of the retardation film 12 , and reaches the polarizing reflecting sheet 13 .
- the polarizing reflection sheet 13 is arranged, for example, in a direction to pass the polarized wave vibrating in the vertical direction in the figure, almost all of it is reflected to form a path L2, passes through the retardation film 12, and is retroreflected.
- the light is retroreflected by the sheet 5, passes through the retardation film 12 again, and becomes the path L3.
- the phase is shifted by ⁇ /2 by passing through the retardation film 12 twice, the polarized wave changes to oscillate in the vertical direction in the figure, passes through the polarizing reflection sheet 13, and passes through the aerial display I. become a department.
- the light emitted from the light emitting portion 4b of the light guide plate 4 along the path L1 strikes the absorptive polarizing sheet 11A. Since the waves are absorbed, the loss of light is large, and finally the brightness of the aerial display I is lowered.
- the countermeasure is the configuration of FIG.
- FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view of the aerial display device 1 showing a second improved example of the configuration of FIG. 15 differs from the configuration of FIG. 14 in that a reflective polarizing sheet 11R is provided between the absorptive polarizing sheet 11A and the light guide plate 4.
- the transmission axis of the reflective polarizing sheet 11R coincides or substantially coincides with that of the absorptive polarizing sheet 11A. It should be noted that the deviation of the transmission axes of the bottom (on the light guide plate 4 side) absorptive polarizing sheet 11A and reflective polarizing sheet 11R does not significantly affect the brightness and aperture visibility.
- the light emitted from the light emitting portion 4b of the light guide plate 4 along the path L1 strikes the reflective polarizing sheet 11R before the absorbing polarizing sheet 11A.
- a polarized wave that oscillates vertically is reflected.
- the light reflected by the reflective polarizing sheet 11R returns to the light guide plate 4 and is reused. Operations after the absorbing polarizing sheet 11A are the same as in FIG. Therefore, the loss of light due to the absorptive polarizing sheet 11A is eliminated, and the brightness of the aerial display I is improved.
- the light reflected by the reflective polarizing sheet 11R and returned to the light guide plate 4 (the polarized wave vibrating in the vertical direction in the drawing) is reflected in a complicated manner inside the light guide plate 4, or is planarly polarized. Due to the phase difference of the optical parts of the light emitter (light guide plate 4, prism sheet, etc.), when converted into a polarized wave that oscillates in the depth direction of the figure, it passes through the reflective polarizing sheet 11R. , can contribute to improving the brightness of the aerial display I. However, if the polarization direction does not change inside the light guide plate 4, it cannot be expected to contribute to the improvement of luminance.
- the countermeasure is the configuration of FIG.
- FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view of the aerial display device 1 showing a third improved example of the configuration of FIG. 16 differs from the configuration of FIG. 15 in that a retardation film 15 is arranged between the reflective polarizing sheet 11R and the light guide plate 4.
- the phase difference of the retardation film 15 is ⁇ /4
- the retardation axis in the XY plane is the polarization axis of the incident light (reflection axis or transmission axis of the polarizing reflection sheet 13, basically reflecting
- the axis and transmission axis are arranged horizontally or vertically, resulting in a positive or negative 45° tilt with respect to the X or Y axis.
- the absorptive polarizing sheet 11A, the reflective polarizing sheet 11R, and the retardation film 15 may be simply laminated, but when they are adhered together, interfacial reflection is reduced, contributing to improvement in brightness. do.
- the light emitted from the light emitting portion 4b of the light guide plate 4 along the path L1 passes through the retardation film 15.
- the light reflected by the reflective polarizing sheet 11R in the subsequent stage and returned to the light guide plate 4 (the polarized wave vibrating in the vertical direction in the drawing) passes through the retardation film 15 and passes through the light guide plate 4 again. Since it passes through the retardation film 15 and passes through the retardation film 15 twice, it is converted into a polarized wave that oscillates in the depth direction of the figure. Therefore, the light can pass through the reflective polarizing sheet 11R in the latter stage, and can contribute to the improvement of the brightness of the aerial display I. Subsequent operations are the same.
- the emitted light from the light guide plate 4 is slightly polarized, it is slightly affected by the retardation caused by the retardation film 15 .
- the reflective polarizing sheet 11R is of the linear polarization type, the more the polarization of the transmission axis component, the more the transmitted light.
- the retardation film 15 may be arranged on the light guide plate 4 side of the polarizing reflection sheet 11 in FIG.
- polarized waves oscillating in the vertical direction in the figure are passed by the polarizing reflection sheet 13 on the exit side, and polarized waves oscillating in the depth direction in the figure are internally reflected and blocked.
- the transmission axis of the film-type polarizing reflection sheet 13 is slightly deviated from the horizontal and vertical axes of the sheet. This causes the opening of 5a to appear as if it is shining. For example, part of the light on path L0 in FIG. 13 is visible from the outside.
- the countermeasure is the configuration of FIG.
- FIG. 17 is a cross-sectional view of the aerial display device 1 showing a fourth improved example of the configuration of FIG. 17 differs from the configuration of FIG. 16 in that an absorptive polarizing sheet 13A is arranged between the polarizing reflecting sheet 13 and the top cover 7.
- the transmission axis of the absorbing polarizing sheet 13A is substantially the same as that of the polarizing reflecting sheet 13A. If the transmission axes of the absorptive polarizing sheet 13A and the polarizing reflecting sheet 13 are completely positioned, the effect is reduced. The best effect can be obtained when the respective transmission axes are aligned and perpendicular to the absorbing polarizing sheet 11A.
- the transmission axis is not 90 degrees with the absorbing polarizing sheet 11A, the effect is reduced. Since the polarizing reflecting sheet has a lower degree of polarization than the absorbing polarizing sheet, the transmission and reflection of polarized light in a direction other than the transmission axis direction also causes the appearance of the aperture. Therefore, when the respective transmission axes are aligned and orthogonal to the absorptive polarizing sheet 11A, the light is transmitted and reflected with the least loss, so that the brightness increases and the aperture visibility can be reduced.
- the transmission axis of the polarizing reflection sheet 13 is slightly deviated from the vertical, if the transmission axis of the absorptive polarizing sheet 13A coincides with the deviated direction, it will cause the opening to appear. More precisely, the transmission axis of the absorbing polarizing sheet 11A and the transmitting axis of the absorbing polarizing sheet 13A are perpendicular to each other.

- the countermeasure is the configuration of FIG.

- the prism surface of the retroreflection sheet 5 is vapor-deposited with Al, so light hardly penetrates except through the through holes 5a.
- the electrostatic sensor since metal blocks electric lines of force, the electrostatic sensor must be arranged on the exit surface side of the retroreflective sheet 5 . Since the imaging distance of the aerial image depends on the distance between the half mirror 6 and the retroreflective sheet 5, if the aerial image is to be formed at a position away from the top cover 7, the half mirror 6 and the retroreflective sheet The distance between 5 becomes longer. Therefore, the dead space can be utilized by arranging the sensor electrodes 14A and 14B and the control board in the gap.
