Display device for view finder

Claim 1

A display device within a view finder of a camera, comprising: an albada finder optics, having an objective lens and an eyepiece lens, with a semi-trasparent reflective film applied on the side of the objective lens opposite to the eyepiece lens; a display portion provided between said objective lens and the eyepiece lens for making a display within a view finder field of vision; an illumination light source provided outside of an effective light beam of said finder optics; and an illumination light leading body consisting of a prism having a light incident surface, a light emitting surface and a light reflecting surface, said light incident surface being flat and said light emitting surface having a converging refractive force, said illumination light leading body being arranged on the eyepiece lens side of the display portion with said light incident surface being opposed to the illumination light source and said light emitting surface being closely opposed to the display portion, so that the light beam from the illumination light source is incident on the light incident surface, reflected by the light reflecting surface and emitting through the light emitted surface to illuminate the display portion, and the light beam from the display portion is led to the objective lens, reflected by the semi-transparent reflective film and enters the eyepiece lens, said light emitting surface placing the illuminating light source and the pupil position in an optically conjugate relation.
