Description
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of near-eye display, and particularly relates to a near-eye display optical device with adjustable diopter.
Background
The AR (Augmented Reality ) technology can superimpose virtual information to be displayed on the basis of real world information, and implementing the target technology requires that a designed system can directly perceive the real world information and display a virtual picture at the same time. One of the main technical solutions in the current industry is an optomachine matched waveguide solution, and the other is a geometrical optical solution (mainly a Birdbath solution). The optical machine is matched with the waveguide scheme to perform AR display through the display optical machine and the optical waveguide, however, the prior optical waveguide technology is limited, and high technical barriers are still required to be broken through in the aspects of display effect, yield and the like. The Birdbath scheme has high color reproducibility, contrast, and resolution, and can display a rich and colorful picture on the basis of a large FOV (Field of View).
The current Birdbath scheme has two structures of fixed focus and variable focus. Fixed focus refers to a structural scheme that a virtual image distance of an optical system is at a certain distance (usually 2-2.5 m), a clear image is difficult to directly observe for a general myopia, and the myopia can interfere with AR equipment or lose pictures due to pupil expansion position deviation when the myopia wears glasses directly. The magnetic myopia lens is adopted for assistance, so that the display and wearing effects can be improved to a certain extent, but the cost can be increased additionally. The variable-focus structure realizes the virtual image distance in a certain range through the movement of the optical lens, so that the application range of the product is enlarged, however, the distance between the fixed lens group and the variable-focus lens group in the optical system is required to be changed in a certain range for different virtual image distances, so that the basic optical performance is different under the condition of different virtual image distances, and the experience of different crowds is different.

Where 101 is the image exit surface, i.e. the display screen image surface of the display unit 1. In practice, a layer of protective glass is provided on the display screen, and 102 may be a surface of the protective glass near the plane mirror imaging unit 3. If a polarizing element (such as a polarizing plate and a quarter wave plate) is attached to the cover glass, 102 is a surface of the polarizing element near the plane mirror imaging unit 3.
Example 1:
as shown in fig. 1-2, the near-eye display optics is a miniature projector that can generate virtual images. According to the light ray trend distribution, the display device comprises a display unit 1, a first lens unit 2, a plane mirror imaging unit 3 and a curved lens 4, and a user observes at an exit pupil position (human eye 5) to visually obtain a displayed virtual picture. The display unit 1 and the first lens unit 2 are arranged above, the plane mirror imaging unit 3 which is obliquely arranged at a certain angle (for example, 45 degrees, the specific angle can be adjusted according to actual requirements) is arranged below, the curved lens 4 is arranged on the right side of the plane mirror imaging unit 3, the exit pupil position is used for human eyes 5 to observe, and the curved lens is positioned on the left side of the plane mirror imaging unit 3. For ease of description only, the specific orientations are not limiting.
The display unit 1 is a micro display screen, such as an OLED type self-luminous panel, and the emitted light passes through the first lens unit 2 and then reaches the plane mirror imaging unit 3. The light is reflected to the curved lens 4 after passing through the first polarization unit 31 and the second polarization unit 32 attached to the plane mirror imaging unit 3. The inner surface of the curved lens 4 (i.e. the mirror surface close to the first polarizing unit 31) is coated with a semi-transparent and semi-reflective film, and the light is reflected by the curved lens 4 and then is incident on the plane mirror imaging unit 3 again, and at this time, the light is transmitted through the first polarizing unit 31, the second polarizing unit 32 and the plane lens 33 in sequence, and reaches the position of the human eye 5 of the exit pupil. Meanwhile, the information in the real world can directly reach the position of the human eye 5 through the curved lens 4 and the plane mirror imaging unit 3, so that the optical system realizes the function of augmented reality technology. Through the collocation of each optical component, the optical system can realize the eye movement range of 12mm x 8mm so as to meet the use requirements of people with different interpupillary distances.
In order to meet the use requirements of different myopes, the display unit 1 and the first lens unit 2 are integrally used as a focusing lens group, and the plane mirror imaging unit 3 and the curved lens 4 are used as a fixed lens group in the embodiment. By adjusting the distance between the display unit 1 and the whole first lens unit 2 and the plane mirror imaging unit 3, different virtual image distances of outgoing images of the optical system are obtained so as to match the use requirements of different myopia groups. The closer the focusing lens group is to the plane mirror imaging unit 3, the shorter the distance of a virtual image formed by the system is, and the crowd with higher myopia degree can be satisfied at the moment. The focal length change range of the whole system is 19-23 mm when diopter is adjusted from-5D to 0D through the distance adjustment of the focusing lens group and the plane mirror imaging unit 3, so that the focusing lens group can be matched with myopia people in the range of-5D to 0D, and the use requirements of most people can be met.
When the distance between the focusing lens group and the fixed lens group is changed to form different configurations under different distance conditions, the focal length of the near-eye display optical device is changed accordingly, so that the difference of optical performance among different groups is caused. The basic performance of the optical system, including FOV, imaging sharpness, distortion, etc. have certain differences in different modes. By adjusting the surface parameters of the first lens unit 2 and the curved lens 4, the real ray trace data of different visual fields of each configuration are optimally controlled, so that the performances of the optical systems under different diopter adjustment are basically consistent, and different crowds are ensured to have the same visual experience.
Parameters of each optical element in the near-eye display optical device of the present embodiment are shown in table 1.
