VIRTUAL IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE

A virtual image display device includes: a display unit that generates an image display light; and a projection optical system that projects the image display light L toward the virtual image presentation plate. The projection optical system includes a projection mirror that projects the image display light toward the virtual image presentation plate and an optical device of transmission type provided such that a light axis intersects at an angle to a light path of the projection optical system. The display unit is provided at a focal point of a composite optical system within a meridional plane, the composite optical system being formed by the virtual image presentation plate and the projection optical system.
