Patent number: 6762885Abstract: A head-mounted image display device consists mainly of an image producing unit (2), right and left frames (27 and 25), and a controller (8). The image producing unit has image display LCDs enclosed with covers (11 and 12). The right and left frames useful in wearing the head-mounted image display device HMD on the head are supported by frame supports (17 and 16) that are fixed to the cover (11). Herein, the right and left frames are detachably attached to the frame supports. An earphone cord (21 or 20) is guided along ribs which are formed on the outer surface of the right or left frame. An earphone (7 or 6) is detachably attached to an earphone holder formed in the distal or rear portion of the right or left frame. Thus, there is provided a head-mounted image display device that is compact, that can be readily worn on the head, and that not only enables viewing of a display screen image but also simplifies observation of an ambient environment.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2002Date of Patent: July 13, 2004Assignee: Olympus CorporationInventors: Yuji Ogasawara, Etsuyasu Kondo
