1. A display system provided to a mobile body, the display system comprising:
a display device including a first display member and an emission portion, the emission portion being a portion through which first image light emitted from the first display member and forming a first image is emitted from the display device, the display device being switchable between (i) an emitting state where the first image light is allowed to be emitted from the display device through the emission portion and (ii) a non-emitting state where the first image light is not allowed to be emitted from the display device through the emission portion;
an optical device including an optical member, the optical member (i) being switchable to a reflecting state by not receiving voltage and switchable to a transmitting state by receiving the voltage, or (ii) being switchable to the reflecting state by receiving the voltage and switchable to the transmitting state by not receiving the voltage, the reflecting state being a state where the optical member reflects light coming from a back of the mobile body, the transmitting state being a state where the light coming from the back of the mobile body passes through the optical member; and
an operation receiver that receives an operation for switching the display system between (i) a first mode where the display device is in the emitting state while the optical member is in the transmitting state and (ii) a second mode where the display device is in the non-emitting state while the optical member is in the reflecting state, wherein
the display device further includes:
a concave mirror that reflects the first image light emitted from the first display member; and
a first housing that includes the emission portion and that holds the first display member and the concave mirror, and

the optical device further includes:
a second housing that holds the optical member, the second housing being separated from the first housing.
