Abstract: By removing part of a lens effective diameter range in a cut lens, a lens is reduced in size and weight in an HMD that trends toward a larger device size. At this time, by making an area to be removed within the lens effective diameter range to be an area on a nose side, reductions in size and weight can be achieved while considering influence on image quality or fitting to a human face.

Abstract: Principal rays of component lights output from a periphery side of respective positions of an image surface generated in an image generation unit forming an image display device are controlled in an intensity distribution control unit so that the principal rays may be inclined more largely toward a center optical axis side than principal rays of component lights output from a center side and output, control is performed so that lights are output in the strongest intensity distributions with respect to axial directions of the principal rays of the respective component lights of image lights output in the respective positions by the intensity distribution control unit, and further, the positions can be adjusted by adjustment of output angles of the respective component lights in response to an aspect ratio of the image surface.

Abstract: The indoor unit includes a plurality of outlet openings. In airflow rotation of the indoor unit, a full blowout mode and a partial blowout mode are executed. In the full blowout mode, all the outlet openings blow conditioned air. In the partial blowout mode, the flow of the blowing air of part of the outlet openings are blocked by the air current blocking mechanism, and thus the blowing wind speeds of the remaining outlet openings increases. As a result, an air temperature difference among parts of the indoor space decreases, and the comfort of the indoor space is improved.

Abstract: Occurrence of a phenomenon in which an air current that has just been blown from any indoor unit is drawn into an adjacent indoor unit is reduced. A controller makes each of a plurality of indoor units perform a partial supply operation. In the partial supply operation, the controller controls an airflow direction adjusting flap such that, regarding the indoor units adjacent to each other with a predetermined distance ? interposed therebetween, air currents are blown from both outlet openings which face each other with the predetermined distance ? interposed therebetween, and that the air currents collide with each other.

Abstract: A half mirror layer has an angle dependency in which when an angle of incidence becomes larger than the angle of incidence range of image light, reflectance increases, such that it is possible to prevent unintended light, which is emitted to a light transmitting member from a light guiding member and is reflected inside a light transmitting member, from being returned to a Eight emission portion of the light guiding member after passing through the half mirror layer as a reflective film at a relatively large angle of incidence. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the image light passed through the light transmitting member from becoming ghost light while mitigating the demand for increasing processing accuracy of the light transmitting member, and bonding accuracy between the light guiding member and the light transmitting member, to provide a high quality virtual image displayed by a virtual image display device.

In the display light emitted from the respective pixels of the display panel, although a radiation angle of an effective luminous flux which reaches the eye of an observer is large in a direction corresponding to the vertical direction, a range of incident angle of intersecting effective luminous fluxes to the dichroic mirror is small.

Abstract: A light guide device that does not cause non-uniformity in image light and external light and does not cause ghosts, and a virtual image display apparatus provided with the light guide device. The light guide device includes a parallel light guide, an incident section, and an emission section. Here, the light guide device is set such that image light rays are reflected without reflecting from a boundary surface between the parallel light guide and the reflection unit and head for an observer. Thus, the image light rays only pass through half mirrors, which are positioned in positions where the image light rays are emitted from the reflection unit of the emission section or are positioned therearound. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent luminance non-uniformity or light reduction by reducing the number of times of the image light rays to be observed pass through the half mirrors.

Abstract: In a projection system, a nonaxisymmetric aspheric surface is used as a surface that is located in a position where in a pencil of light of video image light that exits from each of two points in different corner regions in an image plane that is a light exiting plane of an image display apparatus, light components that should reach a viewer's eyes do not intersect one another, whereby the size of an optical system can be further reduced and the size of an overall apparatus can therefore be reduced with a variety of types of optical precision, such as the resolution and angle of view, maintained.

Abstract: If a load of an indoor space is higher than a predetermined value in a cooling operation, a controller performs a swing control operation to swing a wind direction adjusting slat so that a direction of blown air shifts in a limited possible range. The angle of a lowermost wind direction relative to a horizontal plane in the limited possible range is smaller than the angle of a lowermost wind direction relative to the horizontal plane in the normal possible range. The normal possible range is previously determined to be a range where if the load of the indoor space is lower than the predetermined value, the direction of the blown air can shift upward and downward.
