Abstract: An optical system has an aperture through which virtual and real-world images are viewable along a viewing axis. The optical system may be incorporated into a head-mounted display (HMD). By modulating the length of the optical path along an optical axis within the optical system, the virtual image may appear to be at different distances away from the HMD wearer. The wearable computer of the HMD may be used to control the length of the optical path. The length of the optical path may be modulated using, for example, a piezoelectric actuator or stepper motor. By determining the distance to an object with respect to the HMD using a range-finder or autofocus camera, the virtual images may be controlled to appear at various distances and locations in relation to the target object and/or HMD wearer.

Abstract: A light guide member includes four or more curved surfaces (in a case of FIG. 1, a first surface to a fourth surface) having three or more non-axisymmetric curved surfaces so that sufficient aberration correction becomes possible and video having a wide viewing angle and high performance can be displayed.

Further, the video light is displayed to an observer on a divergent optical path which does not allow an intermediate image to be formed in an enlarged manner so that optical design becomes easy compared to in a case of allowing an intermediate image to be formed.
