An optical device including an optical waveguide upon which a group of
parallel light beams different in traveling direction from each other are
incident and from which the group of parallel light beams go out after
propagated by repeated total reflection through it. The optical waveguide
includes a first reflection-type volume hologram grating, and a second
reflection-type volume hologram grating. The pitches of interference
fringes on the hologram surfaces of the first and second reflection-type
volume hologram gratings are equal to each other. In at least the second
reflection-type volume hologram grating, the angle formed between the
interference fringes and hologram surfaces are varied continuously or
stepwise within the hologram in relation to the main incident light beam
so as to meet the Bragg condition. Therefore, it is possible to reduce
the unevenness of color and brightness due to angles of view.
