Abstract

An optical structure, a light guide, and a display device can reduce an influence of diffraction and improve optical performance more than conventionally possible. A reflective pattern (10A) is an optical structure that changes a traveling direction of light and emits the light, the optical structure including: a reflective surface (20) formed of a flat surface and configured to change a traveling direction of light; and a both-end curved surface (30) formed adjacent to the reflective surface (20) and having a surface in a curved shape corresponding to a side surface of a cylinder.
