Abstract

A virtual image display device of the invention includes an image display element configured to emit image light, a relay optical system configured to generate an intermediate image of the image light emitted from the image display element, and an ocular optical element configured to reflect the intermediate image toward a position assumed to be a position of an eye of an observer to generate an enlarged virtual image. The relay optical system includes a prism, and the prism includes a first bending surface including a bending surface and serving as an incident surface, a second bending surface including a bending surface and serving as an emission surface, and a reflecting surface configured to reflect, toward the second bending surface, the image light incident from the first bending surface.
