<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an eccentric optical system capable of projecting an image of an image display element to an observer's eye-ball as a virtual image by one optical element which is very small, light-weight and has the high degree of freedom in shape design. <P>SOLUTION: A prism optical system includes a prism of which the space formed by an optical surface having at least two surfaces mutually eccentric to axial principal rays of an incident luminous flux is filled with a medium having a refractive index greater than 1. At least two optical surfaces are a rotationally symmetric surface, internal reflection is performed five times in the prism, an intermediate image is formed in the prism and the intermediate image is formed outside the prism. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
