Abstract
An ocular optical system suitable for a head- or face-mounted image display apparatus which is compact, lightweight and satisfactorily corrected for aberrations, and in which no intermediate image is formed. The image display apparatus includes an image display unit (9) and an optical system (10) for projecting a displayed image into an eyeball (7). The optical system (10) is arranged such that light rays which are emitted from the image display unit (9) and enter the eyeball (7) are reflected at least three times by surfaces (12, 13 and 14) having power in backward ray tracing.
