Abstract

Provided is a head-up display having a prism sheet interposed between a display device and the position of an observer's eye. Control is extended so that points from which light rays having different wavelengths emerge are made different by a predetermined distance from each other so as not to form images at different points by light rays from a point source, relative to the difference between the wavelengths. Otherwise, a distance to an image in a vertical direction is made shorter by a predetermined distance than a distance thereto in a horizontal direction. The vertical angle of each of prisms included in the prism sheet is asymmetrical to a normal to the surface of the prism sheet.
