Publication number: 20190235249Abstract: A display device includes a first diffraction element that deflects image light and causes the image light to be incident on an eye of an observer, and a second diffraction element disposed between an image light projecting device and the first diffraction element. A diffraction direction of the first diffraction element and the second diffraction element is set depending on whether a sum of the number of reflections of light and the number of times of generating intermediate image between the second diffraction element and the first diffraction element is an even number or an odd number. For example, when the sum is an even number, a direction in which light incident on a first incident surface is diffracted at the highest diffraction efficiency is the same direction as a direction in which light incident on a second incident surface is diffracted at the highest diffraction efficiency.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2019Publication date: August 1, 2019Applicant: SEIKO EPSON CORPORATIONInventors: Toshiyuki NOGUCHI, Masafumi SAKAGUCHI
