Abstract

An optical device of the present disclosure includes a first light guide body including a first light-incident portion provided with a first incidence-side diffraction element, and a second light guide body including a second light-incident portion provided with a second incidence-side diffraction element, wherein the second light guide body, when light is caused to enter the first light-incident portion, is disposed at a position at which a part of the light passing through the first light guide body enters the second light-incident portion, and the second incidence-side diffraction element is an element that diffracts light of monochromatic color at a smaller angle than the first incidence-side diffraction element does, when the light of monochromatic color is caused to enter at a same angle.
