Hologram scatter plate 13, because of having been fabricated by means of single-step or two-step exposure, enables light more or less scattered through scatter plate 12 to be limitedly scattered within a given wide visual field range, so that bright displayed images can be presented over a wide visual field range yet with a reduced luminance drop.
