PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce power consumption and realize high accuracy of line-of-sight detection. A line-of-sight detection device comprises a plurality of a light source unit that emits light, an optical scanning unit that scans an irradiation position of the light emitted by the light source unit, and the light emitted from the optical scanning unit. A light guide optical system that is divided and emitted, a light receiving unit that receives scattered light or reflected light of the light emitted from the light guide optical system toward the user's eyeball and generates a light receiving signal. It is characterized by including a line-of-sight direction determining unit that determines the line-of-sight direction of the user based on the received light signal.
