Abstract

A head-mounted display according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a main body, a nose pad, and a holding mechanism. The main body includes a display portion capable of presenting an image to a user and is configured to be mountable on a head of the user. The nose pad is configured to be attachable to and detachable from the main body. The holding mechanism is configured to be capable of holding correction glasses between the main body and the nose pad mounted to the main body, the correction glasses facing the display portion.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A head-mounted display, comprising:
a main body that includes a display portion and an elastic protrusion portion that is elastically deformable;
a nose pad that includes a mount portion, wherein
the mount portion includes a reference portion and an engaging hole,
the reference portion is configured to fit into a reference hole in the main body so as to mount the nose pad to the main body, and
the elastic protrusion portion is configured to fit into the engaging hole to detachably mount the nose pad to the main body by a sliding motion of the nose pad with respect to the main body; and

a holding mechanism configured to hold correction glasses between the main body and the nose pad, such that the correction glasses face the display portion and are mounted to the main body.

2. The head-mounted display according to claim 1 ,
wherein the main body further includes a recess configured to slidably receive the nose pad.

3. The head-mounted display according to claim 1 ,
wherein the holding mechanism is further configured to hold the correction glasses such that the correction glasses face an inner surface of the display portion.

4. The head-mounted display according to claim 1 ,
wherein the main body further includes a recess configured to slidably receive the nose pad in a first axial direction orthogonal to a second axial direction.

5. The head-mounted display according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display portion comprises an image forming element.

6. The head-mounted display according to claim 1 ,
wherein the correction glasses are mounted to the main body in an axial direction.

7. The head-mounted display according to claim 1 ,
wherein the elastic protrusion portion is further configured to fit into the engaging hole by the sliding motion of the nose pad with respect to the main body along a first axial direction different from a second axial direction.

8. The head-mounted display according to claim 7 ,
wherein the second axial direction is orthogonal to the first axial direction.

9. A head-mounted display, comprising:
a main body that includes a display portion and an elastic protrusion portion that is elastically deformable;
a nose pad that includes a mount portion, wherein
the mount portion includes a reference portion and an engaging hole,
the reference portion is configured to fit into a reference hole in the main body so as to mount the nose pad to the main body, and
the elastic protrusion portion is configured to fit into the engaging hole to detachably mount the nose pad to the main body by a sliding motion of the nose pad with respect to the main body;

correction glasses; and
a holding mechanism configured to hold the correction glasses between the main body and the nose pad, such that the correction glasses face the display portion and are mounted to the main body,
wherein the correction glasses include:
two lens portions; and
a bridge portion configured to couple the two lens portions to each other.

10. The head-mounted display according to claim 9 ,
wherein the correction glasses are visual acuity correction glasses.

11. The head-mounted display according to claim 9 , wherein
the two lens portions are on an outer side of the display portion,
the correction glasses further include a suspended portion, and
the suspended portion includes:
a first end portion coupled to the bridge portion,
a second end portion held by the holding mechanism, and
a bend portion between the first end portion and the second end portion, and that crosses over the main body.
