Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of optical imaging technology, specifically to lens groups, optical systems, head-mounted display devices, and display systems. Background Technology
[0002] Based on human visual habits, the human eye only requires high resolution in the central field of view, while having less demanding requirements for resolution in the peripheral field of view. Furthermore, the larger the field of view observed by the human eye, the better the viewing experience. Currently, in lens groups used for imaging image sources, if high-resolution imaging is desired, the field of view of the lens group is relatively small, meaning it cannot collect image light over a wide area. If the field of view of the lens group is designed to be large, meaning that if image light needs to be collected over a wide area, the image in the central region cannot guarantee high resolution. In other words, current lens imaging processes cannot simultaneously achieve high-resolution imaging and large-area image light collection. How to achieve high-resolution imaging of the central field of view while simultaneously collecting image light over a wide area is a technical problem that needs to be solved in this field.

The aspherical portion can meet the high-resolution requirement of the human eye for the central field of view. The annular protrusions surrounding the aspherical portion can be equivalent to a Fresnel lens. The array of annular protrusions can collect a wider range of image light, that is, a wider range of image light can be collected and focused by the array of annular protrusions. In the lens group, the optical power of all light-outlet optical surfaces is negative, which allows the focal plane to be located far from the lens group. The human eye does not need to be close to the lens group to view the image light corresponding to the image light, enabling the lens group of this application to achieve long-distance imaging. In summary, the lens group of this application can focus the central field of view without sacrificing the resolution of the central field of view, and can collect image light from a wider range of edge fields of view outside the central field of view.

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0030] Example 1
[0031] Figure 1The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a lens assembly according to an embodiment of this application. This application provides a lens assembly, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the lens group 1 includes two imaging lenses, wherein the lens closer to the screen 2 is the first lens 10, and the lens closer to the human eye 3 is the second lens 11.
[0032] The surface of the first lens 10 facing the human eye is the first light-emitting surface 100, which has a smooth aspherical shape and a negative optical power. The surface of the first lens 10 facing the screen 2 is the first light-entering surface 101, which includes a first aspherical portion 102 and a first array of annular protrusions 103.
[0033] The first aspherical portion 102 is located in the middle of the first lens 10, the optical axis of the first lens 10 passes through the center of the first aspherical portion 102, and the optical power of the first aspherical portion 102 is positive. The first array annular protrusion portion 103 includes a plurality of first protrusions 1031 arranged in a ring, which are sequentially arranged around the first aspherical portion 102. Furthermore, the optical power of the entire surface of the first array annular protrusion portion 103 is positive, meaning the overall optical power of the first light-gathering surface 101 is positive.
[0034] The surface of the second lens 11 facing the human eye 3 is the second light-emitting surface 110. The surface of the second light-emitting surface 110 is a smooth aspherical surface and has a negative optical power. The surface of the second lens 11 facing the screen 2 is the second light-entry surface 111. The second light-entry surface 111 includes a second array of annular protrusions 113, which includes a plurality of second protrusions 1131 arranged in a ring.
[0035] In this embodiment, the image light emitted from the screen 2, which serves as the image source, is positioned on the light-inlet side of the lens group 1, while the human eye 3 is located on the light-outlet side of the lens group 1. The image light emitted from the screen 2 is shaped by the lens group 1 and then enters the human eye 3 to form an image. Specifically, the lens group 1 can collimate and dilate the image light emitted from each pixel of the screen 2, which serves as the image source. After being shaped, the image light emitted from each pixel becomes collimated light, and the human eye can view the image corresponding to the collimated and dilated image light at the focal plane of the lens group 1.
[0036] When image light is incident on the first aspherical portion 102 and the first array annular protrusion portion 103 on the first light-incident surface 101 of the first lens 10, the optical power of the first light-incident surface 101 is initially positive, thus the first light-incident surface 101 as a whole will focus the image light to a certain extent. The first aspherical portion 102 located in the middle of the first lens 10 focuses the image light. Compared with the surrounding first array annular protrusion portion 103, the smooth first aspherical portion 102 can achieve clearer imaging, that is, it can focus more clearly and dilate the pupil in a small area of the central field of view.
[0037] Based on the visual habits of the human eye, the human eye only has high requirements for the resolution of the central field of view, while the resolution of the peripheral field of view is not very high. Therefore, the first aspherical portion 102 can meet the human eye's requirement for high resolution in the central field of view. The annular first protrusions 1031 surrounding the first aspherical portion 102 can be equivalent to Fresnel lenses, enabling the first array of annular protrusions 103 to collect a wider range of image light, that is, a wider range of image light can be collected and focused by the first array of annular protrusions 103. Furthermore, the second array of annular protrusions 113 can further collect a wider range of image light, improving the effect of collecting and focusing a wider range of image light.
[0038] Based on the principle of Fresnel lenses, the first array of annular protrusions 103 and the second array of annular protrusions 113 reduce stray light in the edge fields of view outside the central field of view, resulting in high light transmittance and small aberrations. Compared to other types of lens groups, at the same distance from the screen 2, which serves as the image source, the first array of annular protrusions 103 and the second array of annular protrusions 113 in the lens group 1 of this application can collect and focus image light over a larger area. Compared to aspherical mirrors without annular protrusions, under the same image light collection and focusing capabilities, aspherical mirrors require greater thickness and curvature to collect and focus a wider range of image light. However, the first array of annular protrusions 103 and the second array of annular protrusions 113 in the lens group 1 of this application allow the first lens 10 and the second lens 11 to be thinner and lighter.
[0039] In lens group 1, the optical power of both the first light-emitting surface 100 and the second light-emitting surface 110 is negative. That is, all light-emitting optical surfaces introduce negative optical power into the image light. The optical power of the light-emitting and light-entry optical surfaces determines the distance between the focal plane position of the image light after it has been shaped by lens group 1 and lens group 1, thus determining the viewing position of the human eye in the light-emitting direction of lens group 1. With all light-emitting optical surfaces having negative optical power, the focal plane position is farther from lens group 1, so the human eye does not need to be close to lens group 1 to view the image corresponding to the image light, enabling lens group 1 of this application to achieve long-distance imaging.
[0040] In summary, the lens group 1 of this embodiment can focus the central field of view without sacrificing the resolution of the central field of view, and can collect image light from a larger range of edge fields of view beyond the central field of view.
[0041] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the second light-gathering surface 111 also includes a second aspherical portion 112. The aperture of the second aspherical portion 112 is less than half the aperture of the first aspherical portion 102, and the optical power of the second aspherical portion 112 is positive. Multiple second protrusions 1131 are sequentially arranged around the second aspherical portion 112. An aspherical portion is also provided on the second lens 11. The second aspherical portion 112 focuses the image light. Compared to the surrounding second array of annular protrusions 113, the smooth second aspherical portion 112 can achieve clearer imaging, that is, it can more clearly focus and expand the pupil in a small area of the central field of view, meeting the high-resolution requirements of the human eye for the central field of view.
[0042] Figure 2 The image shown is a cross-sectional view of the first lens in a lens group provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 The image shown is a cross-sectional view of the second lens in a lens assembly provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the angle between the non-working surface 1032 of each first protrusion 1031 facing the optical axis of the first lens 10 and the optical axis of the lens 10 is denoted as the first draft angle θ1. The multiple first draft angles θ1 corresponding to the multiple first protrusions 1031 increase sequentially in the direction away from the optical axis of the first lens 10. Between two adjacent first draft angles θ1, the increase Δθ between the first draft angle θ1 located away from the optical axis of the first lens 10 and the first draft angle θ1 located towards the optical axis of the first lens 10 satisfies: 0.01° < Δθ < 5°. Similarly, as... Figure 3 As shown, the angle between the non-working surface of each second protrusion 1131 facing the optical axis of the second lens 11 and the optical axis of the second lens 11 is denoted as the second draft angle θ2. The second draft angle θ2 increases sequentially in the direction away from the optical axis of the second lens 11. The increase value Δθ of each second draft angle θ2 relative to the adjacent draft angle facing the optical axis of the second lens 11 satisfies: 0.01° < Δθ < 5°.
[0043] The first protrusion 1031 appears as a sawtooth shape in cross-section. The first protrusion 1031 may have two surfaces. One surface faces the optical axis of the first lens 10; this surface is a non-working surface, and image light generally does not illuminate it. The first draft angle θ1 is the angle between the non-working surface of the first protrusion 1031 and the optical axis of the first lens 10. The other surface of the first protrusion 1031 faces away from the optical axis of the first lens 10; this surface is the working surface, and image light illuminates it. Since the optical power of the first light-gathering surface 101, where the first array annular protrusion 103 is located, is positive, and the first light-gathering surface 101 is convex, the first draft angle θ1 gradually increases, causing the angle between the working surface and the optical axis to gradually increase. The working surface closer to the edge of the first lens 10 is less likely to be blocked by other non-working surfaces from receiving image light. With this structure, the working surface of the first protrusion 1031 can receive a wider range of image light, increasing the overall light transmittance of the first lens 10. As the angle between the working surface and the optical axis gradually increases, the working surface with the gradually changing angle receives the image light in the range that the working surface is facing, while stray light in other ranges is blocked by other non-working surfaces, which can effectively reduce stray light.
[0044] Similarly, the second protrusion 1131 appears as a sawtooth shape in cross-section. The second protrusion 1131 can have two surfaces. One surface faces the optical axis of the second lens 11; this surface is a non-working surface, and image light generally does not illuminate this non-working surface. The second draft angle θ2 is the angle between the non-working surface of the second protrusion 1131 and the optical axis of the second lens 11. The other surface of the second protrusion 1131 faces away from the optical axis of the second lens 11; this surface is the working surface, and image light illuminates this working surface. Since the optical power of the second light-gathering surface 111, where the second array annular protrusion 113 is located, is positive, and the second light-gathering surface 111 is convex, the second draft angle θ2 gradually increases, causing the angle between the working surface and the optical axis to gradually increase. The working surface closer to the edge of the second lens 11 is less likely to be blocked by other non-working surfaces from receiving image light. With this structure, the working surface of the second protrusion 1131 can receive a wider range of image light, which can increase the overall light transmittance of the second lens 11. As the angle between the working surface and the optical axis gradually increases, the working surface with the gradually changing angle receives the image light in the range that the working surface is facing, while stray light in other ranges is blocked by other non-working surfaces, which can effectively reduce stray light.
[0045] Optionally, the first draft angle θ1 corresponding to each of the first protrusions 1031 on the first lens 10 satisfies the following condition: 0.95 * the angle between the outgoing light from the working surface of the first protrusion 1031 facing away from the optical axis of the first lens 10 and the optical axis of the first lens 10 < the first draft angle θ1 < 1.05 * the angle between the incident light from the working surface of the first protrusion 1031 facing away from the optical axis of the first lens 10 and the optical axis of the first lens 10.
[0046] Each second draft angle θ2 corresponding to each second convex portion 1131 on the second lens 11 satisfies the condition: 0.95 * the angle between the outgoing light on the working surface of the second convex portion 1131 facing away from the optical axis of the second lens 11 and the optical axis of the second lens 11 < the second draft angle θ2 < 1.05 * the angle between the incident light on the working surface of the second convex portion 1131 facing away from the optical axis of the second lens 11 and the optical axis of the second lens 11.
[0047] When the image light irradiates the working surface, on a certain first convex portion 1031 or second convex portion 1131, the light rays irradiating on the working surface of the convex portion are the incident light corresponding to the working surface, and the light rays incident into the convex portion after passing through the working surface are the outgoing light corresponding to the working surface. On the premise that each convex portion satisfies the above conditions, it can be ensured that the light rays of the image light can irradiate on the working surface, and the non-working surface will not excessively block the light rays of the image light.
[0048] Optionally, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the first convex spacing d1 between adjacent first convex portions 1031 on the first light incident surface 101 satisfies the condition: 0.1 mm < d1 < 5 mm, and the height h1 of the first convex portion 1031 satisfies the condition: 0.01 mm < h1 < 0.9 mm; and the first semi-aperture R1 of the first aspherical portion 102 > 5 * the first convex spacing d1. The second convex spacing d2 between adjacent second convex portions 1131 on the second light incident surface 111 satisfies the condition: 0.1 mm < d2 < 5 mm, and the height h2 of the second convex portion 1131 satisfies the condition: 0.01 mm < h2 < 0.9 mm. The second semi-aperture R2 of the second aspherical portion 112 > 5 * the second convex spacing d2. When the convex spacing satisfies the above conditions, the convex portions in the array annular convex portion can be made dense enough with respect to each other to well realize the function and effect equivalent to that of a Fresnel lens, and the convex portions being dense enough with respect to each other can also reduce the annular fringe phenomenon in the image formed after the image light passes through the lens group 1. The first aspherical portion 102 is substantially equivalent to an aspherical lens. The first semi-aperture R1 of the first aspherical portion 102 refers to half of the aperture of the aspherical lens. The second semi-aperture R2 of the second aspherical portion 112 refers to half of the aperture of the aspherical lens. When the first semi-aperture R1 and the second semi-aperture R2 satisfy the above conditions, the sizes of the first aspherical portion 102 and the second aspherical portion 112 can be made sufficient, and the first aspherical portion 102 and the second aspherical portion 112 can focus the image light in the central field of view, thereby ensuring that the image resolution in the central field of view is high enough to meet the high-resolution requirements of the human eye for the central field of view.
[0049] Optionally, the aperture of the first aspherical portion 102 satisfies the condition: 0.1 * aperture of the first light-gathering surface 101 < aperture of the first aspherical portion 102 < 0.9 * aperture of the first light-gathering surface 101. Limiting the apertures of the first light-gathering surface 101 and the first aspherical portion 102 ensures that the size of the first aspherical portion 102 is large enough to clearly image the center of a larger area.
[0050] Optionally, the minimum distance L between the first lens 10 and the second lens 11 satisfies the condition: 0.1mm < minimum distance L < 10mm. When the distance between the first lens 10 and the second lens 11 satisfies the above condition, the overall space occupied by the lens group 1 is smaller, and when the lens distance meets this value, the basic optical design conditions can be met, and the required optical design can be completed under this value condition.
[0051] Optionally, the thickness of the first lens at the optical axis of the first lens 10 satisfies the condition: 4mm < first lens thickness < 20mm. This allows the first lens to be miniaturized while ensuring image quality.
[0052] Optionally, the thickness of the second lens 11 at its optical axis satisfies the condition: 0.8mm < second lens thickness < 0.9 * first lens thickness. This allows the second lens to be miniaturized while maintaining image quality. For both the first lens 10 and the second lens 11, which simultaneously have aspherical portions and arrayed annular protrusions, when the lens thickness at its optical axis meets the above condition, sufficient optical power can be achieved while saving space, thus enabling the focusing or defocusing of light.
[0053] Optionally, the radius of curvature of the first light-gathering surface 101 at the optical axis is greater than 1.5 * the radius of curvature of the second light-gathering surface 111 at the optical axis. By limiting the curvature at the optical axis of the first lens 10 with the first aspherical portion 102, the size of the first aspherical portion 102 is prevented from becoming excessive. The first aspherical portion 102 focuses only on the image light in the central field of view, while the first array of annular protrusions 103 surrounding the first aspherical portion 102 can normally collect image light outside the central field of view. This ensures that the image resolution in the central field of view is sufficiently high to meet the high resolution requirements of the human eye for the central field of view, and also improves the ability to collect image light outside the central field of view.
[0054] Optionally, the relationship between the optical power φ1 of the first lens and the total optical power φ of the lens group satisfies the condition: 0.1 < φ1 / φ < 0.7; the relationship between the optical power φ2 of the second lens and the total optical power φ of the lens group satisfies the condition: 0.3 < φ2 / φ < 0.9. Limiting the optical power of the first and second lenses can define the distance range and focusing range between the two lenses, allowing them to work together to achieve better imaging results.
[0055] Optionally, both the first lens 10 and the second lens 11 are made of optical plastic, and both have a refractive index that meets the condition: 1.46 < refractive index < 1.69; and a dispersion coefficient that meets the condition: 40 < dispersion coefficient < 69. Limiting the refractive index and dispersion coefficient ensures that the image light transmitted through the first lens 10 and the second lens 11 achieves better color accuracy and chromaticity.
