Abstract: With a simple structure, the light focusing convergence point for the Maxwellian view and the position of the pupil can be easily and quickly matched to each other in a steady manner and thus it is possible to obtain a sharp image by the Maxwellian view. When the position of the point light source 11 is automatically adjusted by the light source driving apparatus 14 using the parallel light as shown in Portion (a) of FIG. 1 as the display image light incident on the convex lens 13 (or HOE) or using the spherical wave light instead of the parallel light as shown in Portion (b) of FIG. 1, the position of the light focusing convergence point A for the Maxwellian view with respect to the position of the pupil is easily and quickly adjusted in a steady manner. Further, as with an optical path length L of the entire optical system, as shown in Portion (b) of FIG.
