Abstract: A light guide for a virtual image device to guide and emit image light output from an image display element to display a virtual image. The light guide includes a light-guide member and an optical member. The light-guide member includes an incidence portion to receive the image light and an exit portion to emit the image light to an outside, and a reflective portion inclined relative to the incidence portion to guide the image light received by the incidence portion into the light guide. The light-guide member also includes an extraction portion including first planes each inclined relative to the exit portion and second planes each parallel with the exit portion, to guide the image light from each first plane to the exit portion and extract the image light. The optical member includes a parallel plane and an inclined portion.

Abstract: A virtual image display device includes: an image display element that displays an image to be displayed as a virtual image; a propagation optical system that propagates light from the image display element; and a light guide member that guides the light propagated by the propagation optical system. The light guide member includes: a light beam incident part that introduces light including image information from the propagation optical system into the light guide member; an image extractor that extracts the light including image information from an inside of the light guide member; and an image emitter that emits the light including image information to an outside of the light guide member. The propagation optical system includes one or more optical members each having a curved surface shape that is non-rotationally symmetric with respect to an optical axis.

Abstract: A light guide includes a light-guide member including an incidence portion through which image light emitted from an image display element enters the light-guide member; an exit portion through which the image light exits the light-guide member to an outside of the light-guide member; a retroreflection portion to reverse a direction of travel of the image light guided through the light-guide member; and an extraction portion to guide the image light reversed by the retroreflection portion to the exit portion. The retroreflection portion has a plurality of surfaces.

Abstract: A sensor includes a light source to emit a pulse light, a light receiver to receive light, emitted from the light source and reflected from an object, a range information acquisition unit to calculate information of a range to the object based on light emission timing at the light source and light reception timing at the light receiver and a speed of the pulse light emitted from the light source, and a pulse controller to control a pulse pattern of the pulse light emitted from the light source based on the range information calculated by the range information acquisition unit.
