Abstract

The present invention displays multiple images at different locations in the depth direction, while suppressing a decline in display quality, using projected light emitted from a single projector. A projector 20 emits first projection light L1 and second projection light L2 that have a first projection distance P1. A projection distance lengthening unit 251 having a negative refractive power is positioned along the path of the first projection light L1 between the projector 20 and a first screen 23, and causes an image to be formed on the first screen 23 by lengthening the projection distance P of the first projection light L1. A projection distance shortening unit 252 having a positive refractive power is positioned along the path of the second projection light L2 between the projector 20 and a second screen 24, and causes an image to be formed on the second screen 24 by lengthening the projection distance P of the second projection light L2.
