The present invention relates to the field of optical technology, and more particularly, to a reflective eyepiece optical system and a head-mounted near-to-eye display device.
With the development of electronic devices to ultra-miniaturization, head-mounted display devices and products are constantly emerging in military, industrial, medical, educational, consumption and other fields, and 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.

In order to illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art more clearly, the present invention is further illustrated combining the embodiments and drawings attached. The drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present invention. For one of ordinary skill in the art, other drawings may be obtained from these drawings without any inventive work.
In order to clarify the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, the following clear and complete description will be made for the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are just some rather than all embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by one of ordinary skill in the art without any inventive work based on the embodiments disclosed in the present invention fall into the scope of the present invention.
The present invention constructs a reflective eyepiece optical system, including: a first lens group, a first optical element and a second lens group for transmitting and reflecting light from a miniature image displayer; the second lens group includes an optical reflection surface, and the optical reflection surface is the optical surface farthest from a human eye viewing side in the second lens group; the optical reflection surface is concave to the human eyes; the first optical element reflects the light refracted by the first lens group to the second lens group, and then transmits the light refracted, reflected and again refracted by the second lens group to the human eyes;
The above-mentioned light transmission path is as follows: the light generated by the miniature image displayer is refracted by the first lens group and then transmitted to the first optical element, and the reflection part on the first optical element reflects the light into the second lens group. Since the optical reflection surface in the second lens group is disposed on the optical surface farthest from the human eye viewing side, the light will be refracted once in the second lens group before entering the optical reflection surface, and when it reaches the optical reflection surface, it will be reflected by the optical reflection surface onto the first optical element. Before the light reflected by the optical reflection surface reaches the first optical element, it will be refracted to the first optical element through other optical surfaces in the second lens group, and the light-transmitting part on the first optical element will transmit the light to the human eyes.
An effective focal length of the eyepiece optical system is fw, an effective focal length of the first lens group is f1, an effective focal length of the second lens group is f2, and fw, f1, and f2 satisfy the following relations (1) and (2):

f12/f1<−0.90 (4).
In the above relations (1), (2), (3) and (4), the value ranges of f1/fw, f2/fw, f11/f1 and f12/f1 are closely related to sensitivities of a correction of system aberrations, a processing difficulty of optical members, and assembly deviations of the optical elements, wherein the value of f1/fw in relation (1) is less than −0.50, which improves the processibility of the optical elements in the system; the value of f2/fw in relation (2) is less than −0.70, so that the system aberration can be fully corrected, so as to achieve higher quality optical effects.

The first lens group includes two sub-lens groups, which are respectively a first sub-lens group and a second sub-lens group arranged adjacently, the first sub-lens group and the second sub-lens group adopt a combination of positive and negative focal lengths. Wherein the negative lens group corrects aberrations and the positive lens group provides focused imaging. With the focal length combination of positive and negative, it can better correct aberrations, has a good processibility and lower cost, and improves the optical resolution of the system.
More importantly, with the transmission and reflection properties of the first optical element and the second lens group, the second optical element includes a reflective surface to effectively fold the optical path, which reduces the overall size of the eyepiece optical system, and improves the possibility of subsequent mass production.

On the basis of miniaturization, cost and weight reduction for the article, the aberration of the optical system is greatly eliminated, and the basic optical indicators are also improved to ensure high imaging quality and increase the size of the picture angle. Thus an observer can watch large images of full frame, high definition and uniform image quality without any distortion and get visual experience of high liveness via the present invention, and the present article is suitable for head-mounted near-to-eye display devices and similar devices.
