Patent attributes
An optical module in the present disclosure includes a first image display panel including a first display part and a first coupling part, a second image display panel including a second display part and a second coupling part, a third image display panel including a third display part and a third coupling part, and a cross dichroic prism configured to synthesize first, second, and third image light. The cross dichroic prism has a cross axis at which a two of photosynthesis surfaces cross each other. The first, second, and third image display panel are respectively bonded to different surfaces of the cross dichroic prism in a state where a long side of each of the first, second, and third display part extends along the cross axis and where the first, second, and third coupling part are each positioned on an outer side of the cross dichroic prism.
