Abstract

[Object] To provide a display apparatus capable of obtaining excellent heat radiation performance of a light source while ensuring positional accuracy of the light source. [Solving Means] A display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a light guide portion, a casing, a projection portion, a heat source, and a heat-transfer member. The light guide portion is disposed in front of eyes of a user. The casing is fixed to the light guide portion. The projection portion is housed in the casing and is configured to be capable of projecting an image to the light guide portion. The heat-transfer member includes a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to the heat source, the second end being connected to an inner surface of the casing, and is configured to be deformable.

Claims (25)

1. A display apparatus, comprising:

a light guide portion that is disposed in front of eyes of a user;

a casing that includes a first casing portion and a second casing portion attached to the first casing portion and is fixed to the light guide portion;

a projection portion that is housed in the casing and is capable of projecting an image to the light guide portion;

a heat source that is disposed within the casing and is supported by the first casing portion; and

a deformable heat-transfer member that includes a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to the heat source, the second end being connected to an inner surface of the second casing portion.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the first casing portion constitutes an inner side surface of the casing facing the user, and

the second casing portion constitutes an outer side surface of the casing.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the heat-transfer member is constituted by a sheet-like carbon-based material.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the heat-transfer member is housed in the casing in a folded state.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a detection portion that is provided to the casing and is capable of detecting an input operation of the user.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein

the detection portion includes a pair of detection elements that are disposed to sandwich the second end.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

the pair of detection elements are constituted by proximity sensors.

8. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the heat source is a light source.

9. The display apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein

the projection portion includes a projection optical portion and an image modulation element disposed between the light source and the projection optical portion.

10. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the heat source is an image display portion including a self-emitting element, and

the projection portion includes a projection optical portion that projects a display image of the image display portion to the light guide portion.
