It is not preferable because it may decrease. On the other hand, if the radius of curvature r is too small, the size of an image that can be projected by the image projection apparatus 100 will be small, and the size of the housing will need to be increased in order to increase the size of the image, which is not preferable.
- the radius of curvature of the angle-dependent light transmitting portion 40 is larger than 1000 mm, it will be difficult to create a difference in the incident angles of the irradiation light L and the external light Ls, and miniaturization of the device will also be difficult.
