At least one of right and left
image display apparatuses is provided with an
optical axis adjustment mechanism. The
optical axis adjustment mechanism changes relative positional relationship between an image displayed on a
display device and an ocular optical
system in a direction intersecting an
optical axis to thereby adjust an angle formed by a pair of right and left optical axes. In this condition, a
light source is so arranged as to be substantially conjugate with an optical
pupil. The optical axis adjustment mechanism changes the positional relationship described above without changing a position of the optical
pupil relative to the ocular optical
system. This permits, even when the apparatus is originally designed such that
light intensity is high at a designed optical
pupil position, achieving the
light intensity at this optical pupil position even after optical axis adjustment. Moreover, since the position of the optical pupil relative to the ocular optical
system is not changed through the optical axis adjustment, image light can be guided to the optical pupil by utilizing a portion of the ocular optically system designed so as to suppress occurrence of aberration.
