Abstract

A head-mounted display has a rear arm, an accommodating part attached to the rear arm, a display arm that is held in the accommodating part, a display part which is pivotably attached to a tip end of the display arm, and headphones which are disposed on both end parts of the rear arm. 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. The 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.

Claims

1. An information display device comprising:

a display device for displaying an image;

a mounting device for mounting the display device on a user so that both the outside world and the image are presented to the user;

a detection device for detecting changes in conditions of the outside world; and

a control device for changing the image in response to the changes in the conditions of the outside world detected by the detection device.

2. The information display device according to claim 1, wherein the control device is configured to vary a relative degree of emphasis of the image with respect to the outside world, and the control device heightens the relative degree of emphasis of the image when a rate of the changes in the conditions of the outside world is within a specified range.

3. The information display device according to claim 1, wherein the detection device detects changes in a brightness of at least a portion of a region contained in a visual field of the user within the outside world as the changes in the conditions of the outside world.

4. The information display device according to claim 1, wherein the detection device detects changes in a brightness distribution of at least a portion of a region contained in a visual field of the user within the outside world as the changes in the conditions of the outside world.

5. The information display device according to claim 1, wherein the mounting device mounts the display device on the user so that the image is presented to only one eye of the user.

6. The information display device according to claim 2, wherein the specified range is a range that is recognizable by the brain of the user.

7. The information display device according to claim 2, wherein the control device heightens the relative degree of emphasis of the image by increasing a brightness of the image.

8. The information display device according to claim 2, wherein the control device heightens the relative degree of emphasis of the image by emphasizing a contrast of the image.

9. The information display device according to claim 2, wherein the control device heightens the relative degree of emphasis of the image by emphasizing outlines of the image.

10. The information display device according to claim 2, wherein the control device heightens the relative degree of emphasis of the image by weakening an intensity of light from the outside world that is incident on the eye of the user from the outside world.

11. The information display device according to claim 2, wherein the control device is configured to switch between (i) a mode in which the relative degree of emphasis is varied in accordance with the rate of the changes in the conditions in the outside world, and (ii) a mode in which the relative degree of emphasis is not varied regardless of the rate of the changes in the conditions in the outside world.
