Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of optical technology, and more specifically to an eyepiece optical system with a large field of view and a head-mounted display device. Background Art

Applications are constantly emerging in the fields of military, industry, medical care, education, and consumption. In a typical wearable computing system architecture, the head-mounted display device is a key component. The head-mounted display device uses optical technology to guide the video image light emitted by a micro-image display (such as a transmissive or reflective liquid crystal display, an organic electroluminescent device, a DMD device) to the user's pupil, and realizes virtual and magnified images within the user's near-eye range, providing the user with intuitive and visible images, videos, and text information. The eyepiece optical system is the core of the head-mounted display device, which realizes the function of displaying a micro-image in front of the human eye to form a virtual magnified image.

[0003] Head-mounted display devices are developing in the direction of compact size, light weight, easy to wear, and light load. At the same time, large field of view and visual comfort experience have gradually become key factors in measuring the quality of head-mounted display devices. Large field of view determines the visual experience effect of high sense of presence, and high image quality and low distortion determine the comfort of visual experience. To meet these requirements, the eyepiece optical system needs to achieve indicators such as large field of view, high image resolution, low distortion, small field curvature, and small size as much as possible. At the same time, meeting the above optical performance is a great challenge to the design of the system and aberration optimization.

[0059] Among them, the first lens group, the second lens group and the third lens group adopt a combination of positive, negative and positive, and the lenses in the second lens group and the third lens group adopt a combination of negative, negative, positive and negative, which fully corrects the aberration of the system and improves the optical resolution of the system. More importantly, the first lens group adopts a double Fresnel surface structure, which shares most of the effective focal length in the optical system, effectively reduces the difference in the outer diameter of each lens, reduces the overall size of the eyepiece optical system, and improves the reliability of subsequent mass production. In addition, the second lens group can provide enough negative effective focal length to ensure that the eyepiece optical system can achieve a sufficiently large field of view.

[0062] 1.50≤f 11 / f 1 ≤4.48 (4).

[0063] Among them, f 11 / f 1 The possible values ​​are 1.50, 1.62, 1.83, 1.95, 2.21, 2.75, 2.98, 3.5, 3.89, 4.31, 4.48, etc.

[0065] -0.98≤f 2 / F≤-0.35 (5).

[0066] Among them, f 2 / F can take values ​​of -0.98, -0.95, -0.82, -0.77, -0.57, -0.49, -0.41, -0.38, -0.35, etc.

[0067] In a further embodiment, the effective focal length of the first lens group is f 1 , the effective focal length of the third lens group is set to f 3 , then f 1 、f 3 The following relationship (6) is satisfied:

[0069] Among them, f 1 / f 3The possible values ​​are 0.02, 0.32, 0.47, 0.67, 0.89, 1.32, 1.55, 1.89, 2.01, 2.11, 2.15 and so on.

In equation (1), f 1 The value of / F is greater than 0.5, so that the system aberration can be fully corrected, thereby achieving high-quality optical effects. Its value is less than 1.33, which improves the processability of the optical elements in the system. In the relationship (4), f 11 / f 1 The value of is greater than 1.5, so that the system aberration can be fully corrected, thereby achieving high-quality optical effects. Its value is less than 4.48, which improves the processability of the optical elements in the system. In the relationship (6), f 1 / f 3 The value of is greater than 0.02, so that the system aberration can be fully corrected, thereby achieving high-quality optical effects. Its value is less than 2.15, which improves the processability of the optical elements in the system. 2 The value of / F is greater than -0.95, so that the corresponding lens can provide a sufficient negative effective focal length, thereby better balancing the correction of system aberrations and achieving good optical effects.

[0081] In a further embodiment, the third lens is a biconcave lens.

[0082] In a further embodiment, the fifth lens is a biconvex lens.

[0083] In a further embodiment, the third lens, the fourth lens and the sixth lens are made of optical glass or optical plastic.

[0084] The above-mentioned embodiment further improves aberrations such as astigmatism and field curvature of the system, which is beneficial for the eyepiece system to achieve a high-resolution optical effect with uniform image quality across the entire frame.
