Abstract
Provided are a light guide element in which incidence light can be emitted with high use efficiency and a wide FOV can be obtained for use in AR glasses, and an image display device and a sensing apparatus that include the light guide element. The light guide element includes a light guide plate and first to third diffraction elements, in which the first diffraction element diffracts incidence light in two or more different directions to be incident into the light guide plate, the second diffraction element includes a plurality of diffraction elements that diffract the light to the third diffraction element, the third diffraction element emits the light from the light guide plate, and at least one of the first diffraction element or the third diffraction element has a liquid crystal alignment pattern in which a direction of an optical axis derived from the liquid crystal compound changes while continuously rotating in at least one in-plane direction.
