Publication number: 20240160015Abstract: A light flux incident on the light guide body is replicated in a first direction or a second direction by a diffraction structure of an expansion region. When a normal direction with respect to the light guide body of the expansion region is defined as a Z-axis direction, and a tangential plane is defined as an XY plane, the diffraction structure of the expansion region is configured such that a light flux duplicated when the light flux incident on the expansion region is transmitted through the XY plane of the expansion region from a positive direction of the Z axis and a light flux duplicated when the light flux is transmitted through the XY plane of the expansion region from a negative direction of the Z axis are accommodated within a viewing angle at which the image is visually recognizable.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2024Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Kazuhiro MINAMI, Hiroyuki SHOBAYASHI, Satoshi KUZUHARA

Publication number: 20240160016Abstract: An optical system includes a display that emits a light flux visually recognized by an observer as an image, and a light guide body that replicates the light flux. The light flux is emitted from the emission surface after being expanded by being replicated in a first direction corresponding to a horizontal direction of the image visually recognized by the observer due to diffraction by a diffraction structure of an expansion region in the light guide body, a second direction corresponding to a vertical direction of the image, or both the directions. A coherence length of the light flux diffracted and emitted in the expansion region in the light guide body is smaller than twice a shorter interval between the diffraction structure and each of a front surface and a back surface of the light guide body.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2024Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Kazuhiro Minami, Satoshi KUZUHARA, Hiroyuki SHOBAYASHI
