Abstract

An image display device includes: an image generation part configured to generate display light having a predetermined contour shape on the basis of an image signal; a hologram light guide plate having a light guide path in which the display light taken from an incident region propagates to an emission region, and a hologram configured to apply a diffraction action to the display light in the light guide path; a strain sensor configured to detect strain of the hologram light guide plate; and an image control circuit configured to control the image generation part. The image control circuit sets the display light generated by the image generation part, on the basis of a detection result of the strain sensor such that deformation of a display image due to strain of the hologram light guide plate is suppressed.

Claims (12)

1 . An image display device comprising:

an image generation part configured to generate display light having a predetermined contour shape on the basis of an image signal;

a hologram light guide plate having a light guide path in which the display light taken from an incident region propagates to an emission region, and a hologram configured to apply a diffraction action to the display light in the light guide path;

a strain sensor configured to detect strain of the hologram light guide plate; and

a controller configured to control the image generation part, wherein

the controller sets the display light generated by the image generation part, on the basis of a detection result of the strain sensor such that deformation of a display image due to strain of the hologram light guide plate is suppressed.

2 . The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein the strain sensor is placed in a vicinity of a placement region of the hologram along a propagation direction of the display light.

3 . The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein the strain sensors are placed at the same position on an upper surface and a lower surface of the hologram light guide plate, respectively, in a plan view.

4 . The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein the strain sensors are placed along adjacent two sides of the placement region of the hologram.

5 . The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller controls the image generation part on the basis of the detection result of the strain sensor such that luminance unevenness of the display image due to strain of the hologram light guide plate is suppressed.

6 . The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein the holograms are placed at the incident region and the emission region, respectively.

7 . The image display device according to claim 6 , wherein the strain sensor is located near the emission region.
