Abstract: The present invention suppresses an increase in optical system curvature, thereby enabling miniaturization. An image forming unit reflects image light beams, which were projected from each region along a first direction of a display, towards a reflection unit so that the image light beams intersect between the image forming unit and the reflection unit. A light distribution adjustment unit is disposed between a light source and a display, and in the first direction, adjusts the orientation of illumination light beams projected from the light source so that the illumination light beams are incident on the display as convergence light.

Abstract: A filtration device efficiently sizes removal of unnecessary substances adhering to and deposited on a filter medium of a filter element during filtration and backwashing (cleaning) from target (non-filtered) substances. The filter element captures substances in a fluid on one surface of a filter medium. The captured substances are separated from the filter medium during backwashing. A brush moves relative to the one surface of the filter medium and assists in separating the captured substances and sifting during the relative movement. The backwashing starts when a differential pressure between both surfaces of the filter medium exceeds a predetermined value, or the like while performing the filtration, and returns to filtration after the differential pressure is eliminated or after a predetermined time elapses. The brush sifts the unnecessary substances from the captured substances and passes the removal to the other surface side during the filtration.
