ABSTRACT:
A display apparatus comprises a projecting device for projecting an image, with the projecting device having a projection optical system having a limited pupil diameter and screen device arranged at a position where an image is substantially projected by the projecting device. The screen device has at least two sheets in each of which a number of prisms extending like a straight line or a curve are formed on the surface on the side opposite to the projecting device. Each of the prisms has an effective portion for allowing a light flux from the projecting device to be emitted in a predetermined direction and a non-effective portion which does not contribute to the emission of the light flux in the predetermined direction, and wherein the non-effective portions of another one or a plurality of the other sheets among the plurality of sheets excluding the sheet arranged at the nearest position on the projecting device side are formed so as to have an almost intermediate angle between the angle of a principal ray when a light flux from the projecting device progresses in the sheets and the emission angle of the principal ray when it is emitted from effective surfaces of the prisms of the sheets.
