Description

A multi-focal holographic optical waveguide display system TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] Embodiments of the present application belong to the technical field of optical waveguide display, and particularly relate to a multi-focal holographic optical waveguide display system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Optical waveguide display technology is an important development direction in the field of augmented reality (AR), which enables users to see virtual images provided by the device while seeing the real world, that is, to superimpose virtual information in the real world, thereby providing the user with an "enhanced" display effect, and the AR optical waveguide technology has the advantages of light and thin, and has become a hot spot in the field of wearable consumer electronics.

[0003] At present, in order to obtain 3D display effect, the near-eye display optical system usually displays independent pictures with a certain field of view for the left and right eyes to simulate a real scene, and the brain perceives the 3D display effect after fusion. However, this conventional technical solution will cause the distance of the eye lens adjustment to be always focused on the virtual image plane of the micro-display image source of the near-eye display optical system, that is, the eye adjustment distance is a fixed value, and on the other hand, due to the setting of the left and right eye pictures with parallax, the brain will feel the nearness and remoteness of the 3D picture object, causing the human eye vergence distance to change with the content of the built-in sheet source picture. Thus, the human eye focus adjustment and the screen information depth do not match, that is, vergence-accommodation conflict (hereinafter referred to as VAC) occurs, which causes human eye visual fatigue, dizziness, vomiting and other phenomena. TECHNICAL PROBLEM

[0004] In order to solve the problem of visual vergence-accommodation conflict, some existing technologies use multi-layer optical waveguide technology, but the disadvantage is that the volume is relatively large and the transmittance is low; some use micro-lens array (Micro-lens array) light field display technology, but the disadvantage is that it will seriously reduce the display resolution of the image. Some use electronic or mechanical zoom lens technology, but the disadvantage is that it is affected by factors such as zoom lens imaging quality and relative response speed. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a multi-focal display optical system to effectively solve the problem of visual vergence-accommodation conflict, thereby reducing the visual discomfort of the wearer.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the present application provides a multi-focal holographic optical waveguide display system, which comprises a polarized image light source, a first optical waveguide 4 and a second optical waveguide 5;

[0034] After the polarized image light source emits first polarized light or second polarized light, the first polarized light is diffracted in the first grating 6 after passing through the first optical waveguide 4 in sequence, continues to be reflected in the first optical waveguide 4, and is output to the human eye 10 to form an image after passing through the second grating 8 and the first optical waveguide 4 in sequence, thereby obtaining a first focal plane;

[0035] The second polarized light is diffracted by the first grating 6, and then is reflected in the second optical waveguide 5, the first phase delay device 71, the second phase delay device 72, the third grating 73 or the fourth grating 74, the second phase delay device 72, the first phase delay device 71, and then is transmitted to the second grating 8 through the second optical waveguide 5, and finally is transmitted to the human eye 10 through the first optical waveguide 4. By adjusting the phase delay of the first phase delay device 71 and the third phase delay device 91 on the second polarized light at different preset angles, the second polarized light at different times is imaged as the second focal plane and the third focal plane when output to the human eye 10 through the second optical waveguide 5.

[0036] Specifically, the first phase delay device 71 and the third phase delay device 91 are both electrically controlled 1 / 2 wave plates, and the second phase delay device 72 and the fourth phase delay device 92 are both electrically controlled 1 / 4 wave plates.

[0037] Specifically, the third grating 73 is a left-handed circularly polarized light response polarization volume holographic grating, the fourth grating 74 is a right-handed circularly polarized light response polarization volume holographic grating, the first lens 93 is a left-handed circularly polarized light response polarization volume holographic lens, and the second lens 94 is a right-handed circularly polarized light response polarization volume holographic lens.

[0039] The second polarized light is S light, the first phase delay device 71 and the third phase delay device 91 are adjusted to have a first preset angle of phase delay, so that the phase delay of the second polarized light is 0 phase, after the first grating 6 diffracts the second polarized light, the second polarized light is sequentially reflected in the second optical waveguide 5, the first phase delay device 71, the second phase delay device 72, the third grating 73, the second phase delay device 72 and the first phase delay device 71, then sequentially passes through the third phase delay device 91, the fourth phase delay device 92, the first lens 93, the fourth phase delay device 92 and the third phase delay device 91, and is transmitted to the second grating 8 through the second optical waveguide 5, and finally is transmitted to the human eye 10 through the first optical waveguide 4, by adjusting the first phase delay device 71 and the third phase delay device 91 to have different preset angles of phase delay on the second polarized light, the second polarized light is imaged to the human eye 10 through the second optical waveguide 5, and a second focal plane is obtained.

[0040] The second polarized light is S light, the first phase delay device 71 and the third phase delay device 91 are adjusted to have a first preset angle of phase delay, so that the phase delay of the second polarized light is Pi phase, after the first grating 6 diffracts the second polarized light, the second polarized light is sequentially reflected in the second optical waveguide 5, the first phase delay device 71, the second phase delay device 72, the fourth grating 74, the second phase delay device 72 and the first phase delay device 71, then sequentially passes through the third phase delay device 91, the fourth phase delay device 92, the second lens 94, the fourth phase delay device 92 and the third phase delay device 91, and is transmitted to the second grating 8 through the second optical waveguide 5, and finally is transmitted to the human eye 10 through the first optical waveguide 4, by adjusting the first phase delay device 71 and the third phase delay device 91 to have different preset angles of phase delay on the second polarized light, the second polarized light is imaged to the human eye 10 through the second optical waveguide 5, and a second focal plane is obtained.

[0041] That is, when the second polarized light is S light, the second polarized light after diffracting through the first grating 6 enters the first polarization state image light processing device 7 for processing, and the first phase delay device 71 is set to have a phase delay greater than 0 angle, after adjusting the phase delay of different angles, the second polarized light is imaged in the human eye 10, and a third focal plane is obtained.

[0042] When the first polarized light is P light, the first polarized light only reflects in the first optical waveguide 4, and when the first polarized light is coupled out of the first optical waveguide 4, it is imaged at the human eye 10, and a first focal plane is obtained.

[0043] Further, the polarized image light source comprises a first polarized image light source 1 and a second polarized image light source 2, the first polarized image light source 1 is used for emitting first polarized light, and the second polarized image light source 2 is used for emitting second polarized light.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the first grating 6, the second grating 8, the third grating 73, the fourth grating 74, the first lens 93 and the second lens 94 are all reflective optical elements. Among them, the first grating 6, the third grating 73 and the fourth grating 74 are in-coupling optical elements, and the second grating 8, the first lens 93 and the second lens 94 are out-coupling optical elements.

[0045] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the first phase delay device 71 and the third phase delay device 91 are both electrically controlled 1 / 2 wave plates, and the second phase delay device 72 and the fourth phase delay device 92 are both electrically controlled 1 / 4 wave plates.

[0046] The following takes forming three focal planes as an example to explain the technical solution of the present application in detail:

[0047] The specific implementation of the optical path principle is shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, which mainly includes a polarized image light source (composed of a micro display and a collimating lens assembly), a light beam splitter 3, a first optical waveguide 4, a first phase delay device 71, a second phase delay device 72, a third phase delay device 91 and a fourth phase delay device 92, and in-coupling and out-coupling optical elements; among them, the polarized image light source includes two, which respectively outputs P light and S light, and at different moments, the image information required for the corresponding focal plane is cyclically output; and the first phase delay device 71, the second phase delay device 72, the third phase delay device 91 and the fourth phase delay device 92 are used for phase delay modulation of the polarized light incident to the second optical waveguide 5; the in-coupling and out-coupling optical elements all include the third grating 73, the fourth grating 74, the first lens 93 and the second lens 94; among them, the third grating 73 is a left-handed circularly polarized light response polarization volume holographic grating, the fourth grating 74 is a right-handed circularly polarized light response polarization volume holographic grating, the first lens 93 is a left-handed circularly polarized light response polarization volume holographic lens, and the second lens 94 is a right-handed circularly polarized light response polarization volume holographic lens.

[0048] The in-coupling and out-coupling optical elements are all of the reflective type.

[0049] Firstly, a polarized image light source (P light is taken as an example, LCD, OLED, LCOS and other polarized display light sources) is selected, one of the polarized image light sources emits first polarized light as P light, and the other polarized image light source emits second polarized light as S light.

[0050] At t1, the first polarized light emitted by the first polarized image light source 1 is P light, and the second polarized image light source 2 does not emit polarized light. The first polarized light entering the first optical waveguide 4 is diffracted by the first grating 6 and propagates in the first optical waveguide 4 in the form of total reflection until it propagates to the second grating 8. The first polarized light is diffracted and coupled out of the first optical waveguide 4 by the second grating 8 and enters the human eye 10, and is imaged at infinity to obtain the first focal plane viewed by the human eye 10;

[0051] At t2, the second polarized light emitted by the second polarized image light source 2 is S light, and the first polarized image light source 1 does not emit polarized light. At this time, the second polarized light directly transmits through the first grating 6 and is incident on the first polarization state image light processing device 7 on the side surface of the second optical waveguide 5. At the same time, the first phase delay device 71 is set to 0 phase delay (45° angle with the optical axis), so that the second polarized light does not change polarization when passing through the first phase delay device 71 (electrically controlled 1 / 2 wave plate) and is incident on the second phase delay device 72 (electrically controlled 1 / 4 wave plate) to be modulated into left circularly polarized light. After being diffracted and reflected by the third grating 73, the second polarized light is converted into second polarized light again after passing through the second phase delay device 72 (electrically controlled 1 / 4 wave plate) and the first phase delay device 71 (electrically controlled 1 / 2 wave plate) and is transmitted in the second optical waveguide 5 to the third phase delay device 91 (electrically controlled 1 / 2 wave plate) and the fourth phase delay device 92 (electrically controlled 1 / 4 wave plate) in the form of total reflection. The first phase delay device 71 and the third phase delay device 91 have the same phase delay angle and are synchronized to perform phase delay. Subsequently, the second polarized light is converted into left circularly polarized light again and passes through the first lens 93, and is modulated by the fourth phase delay device 92 (electrically controlled 1 / 4 wave plate) and the third phase delay device 91 (electrically controlled 1 / 2 wave plate) again, so that the left circularly polarized light is converted into second polarized light again and can directly transmit through the second grating 8 to enter the human eye 10. Since the first lens 93 is a holographic optical element with lens divergence function, the coupled-out second polarized light will converge at a specific distance to obtain the second focal plane viewed by the human eye 10;

[0052] At time t3, the second polarized light emitted by the second polarized image light source 2 is S light, and the first polarized image light source 1 does not emit polarized light. At this time, the first polarized light directly transmits through the first grating 6 and is incident on the first polarization state image light processing device 7 of the second waveguide; at the same time, the first phase delay device 71 is set to have a phase delay amount of Pi phase (45° angle with the optical axis), so that the second polarized light is converted from S light to P light when passing through the first phase delay device 71 (electrically controlled 1 / 2 wave plate), and then is incident on the second phase delay device 72 (electrically controlled 1 / 4 wave plate) to be modulated into right circularly polarized light. After being diffracted by the fourth grating 74, the right circularly polarized light passes through the second phase delay device 72 (electrically controlled 1 / 4 wave plate) and the first phase delay device 71 (electrically controlled 1 / 2 wave plate) in turn, is reconverted into S light, and is transmitted in the form of total reflection in the second optical waveguide 5 to the third phase delay device 91 (electrically controlled 1 / 2 wave plate), wherein the first phase delay device 71 and the third phase delay device 91 have the same phase delay angle and perform phase delay synchronously. Subsequently, the S light is converted into P light, and continues to be incident on the fourth phase delay device 92 (electrically controlled 1 / 4 wave plate). The P light is again converted into right circularly polarized light, which is diffracted by the second lens 94, and is reconverted into S light by the fourth phase delay device 92 (electrically controlled 1 / 4 wave plate) and the third phase delay device 91 (electrically controlled 1 / 2 wave plate), and can directly transmit through the second grating 8 in the first optical waveguide 4 to enter the human eye 10.

[0053] Since the first lens 93 and the second lens 94 are both holographic optical elements with lens divergence function, but have different corresponding lens focal lengths, the coupled-out S light will converge at another specific distance to form a third focal plane viewed by the human eye 10.

[0054] When the times t1, t2 and t3 are within the range of the visual persistence time of the human eye 10, real-time display of three focal plane images can be realized, so that the human eye 10 can automatically focus at different positions, thereby effectively relieving the visual accommodation-vergence conflict problem of the human eye 10 and further improving the viewing comfort of the holographic optical waveguide AR display device.

[0055] The conversion of the polarization state of the incident light between the corresponding optical elements of the first polarization state image light processing device 7 and the second polarization state image light processing device 9 at times t2 and t3 is shown in Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5; the black dots in the figures represent S light, and the horizontal black double arrows represent P light.

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
