Abstract
A virtual image display device includes an image light generating device, an infrared light emitting device, an infrared light receiving device, a first light guide optical system, and a second light guide optical system. The first light guide optical system includes a first light guide member, a first incident-side diffraction element, and a first emitting-side diffraction element. The second light guide optical system includes a second light guide member, a second incident-side diffraction element, and a second emitting-side diffraction element. The maximum value of an angle formed between the infrared light that the second incident-side diffraction element deflects toward the infrared light receiving device and a normal line of the second incident-side diffraction element is greater than the maximum value of an angle formed between the image light incident on the first incident-side diffraction element and a normal line of the first incident-side diffraction element.
