Abstract
In relation to a fourth surface as a partially covered optical surface from among a plurality of optical surfaces which configure a light guiding member in a light guiding device, such as a first surface, an intermediate image is formed at a location separated from the partially covered optical surface (fourth surface). With such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the influence of dirt, contamination, or the like on an image even if the dirt, the contamination, or the like are generated on the partially covered optical surface (fourth surface), from which it is difficult or impossible to remove the dirt, the contamination, or the like, and to display an image with a wide image angle by a configuration forming an intermediate image.
