Abstract
Light guide system includes transparent light guide section that leads light inputted through one end portion, to an output section. The light guide section includes a plurality of partial reflection planes, each inclined at a same angle such that a first end portion is located on the side of the one end portion, with respect to a second end portion, and aligned between a first plane and a second plane parallel to each other. Pitches among the partial reflection planes in a first direction are widened toward another end portion, from the side of the one end portion. From an eye of a viewer, a wide overlapping portion is non-existent between two partial reflection planes adjacent to each other on the side of the another end portion, and a wide gap is non-existent between two partial reflection planes adjacent to each other on the side of the one end portion.
