The application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202210029486.6, filed on Jan. 12, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to the technical field of optical systems of head-mounted display devices, and more particularly to an eyepiece optical structure, an eyepiece system and an optical device.
With the continuous development of electronic devices to ultra-miniaturization, and the development of new computers, microelectronics, optoelectronic devices and communication theories and technologies, wearable computing, a novel model based on “people-oriented” and “man-machine integration”, has become possible. Applications are constantly emerging in military, industrial, medical, educational, consumption and the like fields. In a typical wearable computing architecture, a head-mounted display device is a key component. The head-mounted display device directs the video image light emitted from a miniature image displayer (e.g., a transmissive or reflective liquid crystal displayer, an organic electroluminescent element, or a DMD element) to the pupil of the user by optical technology to implement virtual magnified images in the near-eye range of the user, so as to provide the user with intuitive, visual images, video, text information. The eyepiece optical system is the core of the head-mounted display device, which realizes the function of displaying a miniature image in front of human eyes to form a virtual magnified image.
The head-mounted display device develops in the direction of compact size, light weight, convenient wearing, and load reduction. Meanwhile, a large field-of-view angle and visual comfort experience have gradually become key factors to evaluate the quality of the head-mounted display device. The large field-of-view angle determines a visual experience effect of high liveness, and high image quality and low distortion determine the comfort of visual experience. To meet these requirements, the optical system should try its best to achieve such indexes as a large field-of-view angle, high image resolution, low distortion, small field curvature, and a small volume. It is a great challenge for system design and aberration optimization to satisfy the above optical properties at the same time.
