Abstract

The head-mounted display has a rear arm, an accommodating part that is attached to the rear arm, a display arm that is held in the accommodating part so that this display arm can be accommodated, a display part which is attached to the tip end of the display arm so that this display part can pivot, and headphones which are disposed on both end parts of the rear arm, as main parts. A flat cable which supplies a power source and signals to the image display device is led into the accommodating part via a wiring attachment part, and is fastened to the accommodating part by the wiring attachment part. In the accommodating part, the intermediate part of the flat cable is fastened by a wiring retainer. Then, this flat cable enters the display arm from the rear end part of the display arm, and is further conducted to the image display device inside the display part via a spherical-surface coupling. As a result, a head-mounted display can be obtained in which there is no interference with human activity by the wiring, and in which no feeling of bother is created.

Claims

1. A head-mounted display device comprising:

a mounting section to mount the device on a head of a user;

a display section to display images;

a supporting section, which is supported by the mounting section, and which is used to dispose the display section in front of an eye of the user;

an accommodating part, which is disposed on the mounting section, and which accommodates the supporting section; and

a light receiving section to receive control signals as light incident thereon;

wherein the light receiving section is positioned on the accommodating part, on a side of the accommodating part near to the display section.

2. The head-mounted display device according to claim 1, wherein the light receiving section faces downward at an inclination with respect to a visual axis of the head-mounted display device.

3. A head-mounted display device comprising:

a display section to display images; and

light receiving sections to receive control signals as light incident thereon;

wherein the light receiving sections are positioned on the display section on a side of the display section opposite from a side used to display images, and the light receiving sections are located on the display section at different vertical positions that are symmetrical to each other.

4. The head-mounted display device according to claim 3, wherein the head-mounted display device is configured such that the display section can be selectively positioned for use with either a user'"'"'s left eye or the user'"'"'s right eye.

5. The head-mounted display device according to claim 3, wherein one of the light receiving sections faces downward at an inclination with respect to a visual axis of the head-mounted display device.

6. The head-mounted display device according to claim 5, wherein the head-mounted display device is configured such that the display section can be selectively positioned for use with either a user'"'"'s left eye or the user'"'"'s right eye;

wherein a first one of the light receiving sections faces downward at an inclination with respect to the visual axis when the display section is positioned for use with the user'"'"'s left eye; and

wherein a second one of the light receiving sections faces downward at an inclination with respect to the visual axis when the display section is positioned for use with the user'"'"'s right eye.
