Abstract

A head-mounted display includes a display device configured to display an image, a diopter adjustment device configured to adjust a diopter, and a correction processing circuit serving as an image correction device configured to correct a display image in accordance with a degree of diopter adjustment. In the adjustments made on a left side and a right side, respectively, after diopter adjustment, the display image is corrected in accordance with the degree of diopter adjustment.

Claims (30)

1. A head-mounted display comprising:

a first display device configured to display an image on one of a left side and a right side;

a first diopter adjustment device configured to adjust a diopter of the first display device;

a first image correction device configured to correct an image displayed by the first display device in accordance with a degree of diopter adjustment by the first diopter adjustment device;

a second display device configured to display an image on the other of the left side and the right side;

a second diopter adjustment device configured to adjust a diopter of the second display device; and

a second image correction device configured to correct an image displayed by the second display device in accordance with a degree of diopter adjustment by the second diopter adjustment device.

2. The head-mounted display according to claim 1 , wherein

the first diopter adjustment device is configured to move a first optical member constituting the first display device in an optical axis direction to adjust the diopter and

the second diopter adjustment device is configured to move a second optical member constituting the second display device in the optical axis direction to adjust the diopter.

3. The head-mounted display according to claim 2 , wherein

the first display device includes a first display element and a first non-telecentric optical system,

the first diopter adjustment device is configured to move the first display element as the first optical member relative to the first non-telecentric optical system,

the second display device includes a second display element and a second non-telecentric optical system, and

the second diopter adjustment device is configured to move the second display element as the second optical member relative to the second non-telecentric optical system.

4. The head-mounted display according to claim 1 , wherein

the first image correction device is configured to correct a distortion or a size of an image displayed by the first display device and

the second image correction device is configured to correct a distortion or a size of an image displayed by the second display device.

5. The head-mounted display according to claim 1 , wherein

the first image correction device and the second image correction device are configured to make a correction based on an image conversion table for correction.

6. The head-mounted display according to claim 5 , wherein

the image conversion table for correction defines, in a step-wise manner, a correction amount corresponding to a degree of diopter adjustment performed by the first diopter adjustment device and the second diopter adjustment device.

7. The head-mounted display according to claim 1 , wherein

the first image correction device and the second image correction device are configured to start correction after confirmation of completion of diopter adjustment in the first display device and the second display device.

8. The head-mounted display according to claim 1 , comprising:

an operation detection device configured to detect operation of the first diopter adjustment device and the second diopter adjustment device, wherein

the operation detection device is configured to display a diopter adjustment screen on a display device, operation of which is detected, and to not display the diopter adjustment screen on a display device, operation of which is not detected, from among the first display device and the second display device.

9. A head-mounted display comprising:

a display device configured to display an image; and

a diopter adjustment device configured to move an optical member constituting the display device in an optical axis direction to adjust a diopter of the display device.
