Display system and method of manufacturing display system

Abstract

This invention provides a method for manufacturing a display system for displaying images to a user. The display system comprises: a display element that emits light for displaying images forward via a polarizing member and has a display surface; a reflective polarizing member disposed in front of the display element and reflecting light emitted from the display element; a first lens portion disposed in the optical path between the display element and the reflective polarizing member; and a semi-reflective mirror disposed between the display element and the first lens portion, the semi-reflective mirror allowing light emitted from the display element to pass through and reflecting light emitted from the reflective polarizing member. The light reflected by the polarizing member is reflected towards the aforementioned reflective polarizing member; the first phase difference member is disposed in the optical path between the aforementioned display element and the aforementioned semi-reflective mirror and includes a first λ / 4 member and a first λ / 2 member; and the second phase difference member is disposed in the optical path between the aforementioned semi-reflective mirror and the aforementioned reflective polarizing member and includes a second λ / 4 member and a second λ / 2 member; and the aforementioned manufacturing method uses a phase difference member comprising a λ / 4 member and a λ / 2 member, both having an in-plane phase difference greater than or less than a reference plane phase difference, as the first phase difference member and the second phase difference member.
