Ergonomic head mounted display device and optical system

Optical systems such as image display systems include a freeform optical waveguide prism and a freeform compensation lens spaced therefrom by a gap of air or index cement. The compensation lens corrects for aberrations which the optical waveguide prism will introduce in light or images from an ambient real-world environment. The optical waveguide prism receives actively projected images at an entry location, and emits the projected images at an exit location after internally reflecting the images along an optical path therein. The image display system may include an image source and coupling optics. The approach permits design of an optical viewing device, for example in optical see-through HMDs, achieving an eyeglass-form appearance and a wide see-through field of view (FOV).

Image pickup optical systems, image pickup apparatuses and digital apparatuses

The present invention provides image pickup optical systems capable of suppressing the degradation of the image quality due to unnecessary light beams while attaining compaction by optimizing the shapes of the emission surfaces of reflection prisms. The image pickup optical system includes an incidence-side prism for reflecting incident light while folding it by about 90 degree and an image-surface side prism. An image pickup device is placed near the emission surface of the image-surface side prism. The incidence-side prism is formed to have a convex emission surface. This can reduce the amount of the unnecessary light beams (stray light) reflected by the aforementioned reflection surface and also causes the unnecessary light beams reflected by the emission surface and the reflection surface to be diffused, thereby significantly reducing the amount of unnecessary light beams directed to the light receiving surface of the image pickup device. This can suppress the occurrence of ghosts and the like due to unnecessary light beams as aforementioned.
