Abstract
A virtual image optical system includes first and second optical elements and each configured to guide light from a display unit, wherein the second optical element guides the light from the display unit to a first pupil to form a first virtual image, and the second optical element simultaneously guides the light from the display unit to a second pupil to form a second virtual image, and wherein decentering of the second optical element enables switching of positions of the first pupil and the second pupil to each other.
