1. A display device comprising:
- a display module which emits display light;
a polarizing element including a transmission axis which transmits first linearly polarized light, the polarizing element reflecting second linearly polarized light intersecting the transmission axis; and
an optical element comprising a retroreflector which retroreflects light reflected from the polarizing element,the optical element being curved, and comprising a first portion which is concave, and a second portion which is convex and is connected to the first portion.

13. A display device comprising:
-
a display module which emits display light; a polarizing element including a transmission axis which transmits first linearly polarized light, the polarizing element reflecting second linearly polarized light intersecting the transmission axis; and an optical element comprising a retroreflector which retroreflects light reflected from the polarizing element, the optical element including a first end portion, a second end portion, a first portion, a second portion, and a connection part connecting the first portion and the second portion, the first portion being located between the first end portion and the connection part, and having a concave shape recessed toward a side that is more separated from the display module and the polarizing element than a surface connecting the first end portion and the connection part, the second portion being located between the connection part and the second end portion, and having a convex shape projected toward a side that is closer to the display module and the polarizing element than a surface connecting the connection part and the second end portion. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
