[0002] With the development of the times, near-eye display devices are increasingly entering people's lives, but the dizziness and discomfort caused by long-term wearing of the device are one of the problems that hinder its further development. It is currently believed that the cause of this problem is the inconsistency between the pupil distance of the human eye and the optical axis of the eyepiece and the pupil distance of the video source. The current pupil distance measurement is measured using a pupil distance caliper or a pupil distance meter. The pupil distance caliper is mainly used by the operator to determine the pupil distance of the human eye and measure it with a caliper. The pupil distance meter confirms the pupil distance of the human eye by photographing the reflection of the human pupil and reading the number. Both are independent measuring devices, and the pupil distance on the near-eye display device can only be used for adjustment.

[0020] A measuring module, wherein the measuring module is configured to measure the distance between the center of the current aperture stop and a reference point to obtain the pupil distance of the user when light emitted by an image displayed on a display screen is observed by a user's single eye through a field stop, an observation lens and an aperture stop, and the observation center of the user's eye matches the center of the image.

[0024] The present disclosure is mainly applied to the field of myopia display. An aperture stop is arranged on one side of an observation lens to limit the size of light emission, which is beneficial for human eye focusing and avoiding eye movement.

At least one of the aperture stop, the observation lens, the field stop and the display screen is moved and adjusted, so that the light beam emitted by the image displayed on the display screen enters the human eye through the field stop, the observation lens and the aperture stop, so that the user can see the image. At the same time, the movement of the aperture stop can also make the observation center of the user's eyes match the center of the image.

In this way, when the pupil distance measurement method is applied to the field of near-eye display, the user can first measure his own pupil distance, and then adjust the pupil distance of the near-eye display system according to his own pupil distance, thereby relieving fatigue and improving user experience.

[0038] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present disclosure more clearly understood, the present disclosure is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present disclosure and are not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0039] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0040] It should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present disclosure.

[0041] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present disclosure, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0042] In order to illustrate the technical solution disclosed in the present invention, a detailed description is given below in conjunction with specific drawings and embodiments.

[0043] The disclosed embodiment provides a pupil distance measurement method, which is mainly used in the field of near-eye display, such as VR near-eye display system or AR near-eye display system; when applied to VR near-eye display system, when the user quickly obtains his own pupil distance, the pupil distance information of the video source VR image can be adjusted. When the pupil distance information of the video source is consistent with the pupil distance information of the human eye, the dizziness problem caused by long-term wearing of the device can be effectively solved, and the adaptability of VR-related equipment among consumers can be improved. Of course, the pupil distance measurement method is not limited to the field of near-eye display, but can also be applied to other fields.

[0044] See also Figure 1 As shown, the pupil distance measurement method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

[0045] Step S101 , arranging the aperture stop 10 , the observation lens 20 , the field stop 30 and the display screen 40 along the optical axis direction of the observation lens.

[0046] Specifically, after the aperture stop 10, the observation lens 20, the field stop 30 and the display screen 40 are arranged in sequence along the optical axis direction of the observation lens 20, the light emitted by the image displayed on the display screen 40 can be incident on the user's eyes through the field stop, the observation lens 20 and the aperture stop 10 in sequence.

[0047] The aperture stop 10 is mainly used to limit the light aperture. The aperture stop 10 is arranged on the observation lens. Exemplarily, the aperture stop 10 is arranged on the eyepiece side of the observation lens 20. The smaller the distance between the aperture stop 10 and the last lens of the eyepiece, the higher the measurement accuracy of the pupil distance. The last lens of the eyepiece refers to the lens that is closest to the user's eyes. Optionally, the minimum distance of the clear aperture defined by the aperture stop 10 in the horizontal direction can be limited to ≤1mm, and the distance of the clear aperture in the vertical direction is greater than the distance in the horizontal direction. The field stop 30 is mainly used to limit the field of view range of the display screen 40. The field stop 30 is arranged on the display side of the display screen 40. The smaller the field of view limited by the field stop 30, the less the pupil distance measurement is affected by the eye point distance, that is, the less the influence of the exit pupil distance is, and the more accurate the pupil distance measurement value is. The aperture stop 10 includes but is not limited to a plug-in stop with a fixed aperture and / or an adjustable stop with an adjustable aperture. Any device that can limit the aperture of light can be used as the aperture stop. Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a plug-in aperture with a circular light hole, a plug-in aperture with an elliptical light hole, and a plug-in aperture with a square light hole are respectively shown; see Figure 7 , which shows an adjustable aperture with adjustable aperture. The field of view aperture 30 includes but is not limited to an electronic aperture or / and a physical aperture, as long as it can limit the field of view of the display screen 40. Figure 8 , which shows the state when the pupil distance is measured using a physical aperture, and Fig. 9 The figure shows the state when the pupil distance is measured using an electronic aperture.

[0048] It should be noted that, in some other implementation schemes, the aperture stop can also be set on the side of the observation lens farthest from the user's eyes (non-eyepiece side). When this method is used, the observation lens 20, the aperture stop 10, the field stop 30 and the display screen 40 are arranged in sequence along the optical axis direction of the observation lens 20. Alternatively, the aperture stop is set inside the observation lens, that is, the aperture stop is built into the observation lens. When this built-in method is used, an observation lens with an aperture stop can be used. In this case, the observation lens 20, the field stop 30 and the display screen 40 are arranged in sequence along the optical axis direction of the observation lens 20.

[0049] In one embodiment, an aperture stop 10, an observation lens 20, a field stop 30 and a display screen 40 are configured into a measurement group. The pupil distance measurement method uses two measurement groups, and the two eyes of the user observe the images displayed on the corresponding display screens 40 through the aperture stops 10 of the two measurement groups respectively.

[0050] Step S102: When the light emitted by the image displayed on the display screen 40 is observed by the user's single eye through the field diaphragm 30, the observation lens 20 and the aperture diaphragm 10, and the observation center of the user's eye matches the center of the image, the distance between the center of the aperture diaphragm 10 at the current position and the reference point is measured to obtain the user's pupil distance.

[0051] By adjusting the horizontal position of the eyepiece, both eyes of a person can see the image at the same time. At this time, the distance between the center points of the two aperture diaphragms 10 is the pupil distance data of the human eye. The pupil distance of the human eye is measured by using a ruler 50. Both aperture diaphragms 10 have a corresponding relationship with the ruler. The distance between the centers of the two aperture diaphragms 10 is measured to obtain the pupil distance of the human eye 60.

[0052] The aperture stop 10 is arranged on the observation lens near the human eye, and the center of its light-transmitting area is unified with the optical center of the observation lens. The field stop 30 is arranged on one side of the display screen 40 to limit the field of view of the output image so that the output image is only the pattern in the center of the screen. In this way, the field of view of the display screen 40 is limited by the field stop 30, so that the user can only see the image within the range limited by the field stop 30; the light emitted by the image displayed on the display screen 40 is observed by the user's single eye, that is, the user's single eye can see the image; because the aperture stop 10 limits the size of the light output, and cooperates with the field stop 30, the user can only observe the image within the range limited by the field stop 30 from the aperture stop 10, which is conducive to determining the position of the user's pupil, and the pupil is located in the center of the eye. The center of the user's eye is the observation center of the user's eye. It can be considered that the reflection point of the image on the pupil is located on the visual axis of the human eye. When the user adjusts the spatial position of the aperture stop 10, the observation lens 20, the field stop 30 and the display screen 40, the user perceives that the observation center of his or her eye matches the center of the image. That is, the user perceives that the current eye sees the center of the image through the aperture stop 10, that is, the user perceives that the observation center of his or her eye is basically located on the optical axis of the observation lens 20. At this time, the center of the user's pupil is basically coaxial with the center of the aperture stop 10, and the center of the aperture stop 10 and the center of the image are located on the optical axis of the observation lens 20. In this way, the distance between the center of the aperture stop 10 at the current position and the reference point is measured to indirectly obtain the user's pupil distance. The observation center of the user's eye can also be said to be the reaction point of the image on the cornea.

[0053] In one embodiment, when light emitted by an image displayed on a display screen 40 is observed by a user's single eye through the field stop 30, the observation lens 20, and the aperture stop 10 in sequence, and the observation center of the user's eye matches the center of the image, the distance between the center of the aperture stop 10 at the current position and a reference point is measured to obtain the user's pupil distance. The line between the reference point and the center of the aperture stop 10 is parallel to the line between the inner corner points of the user's left eye and the inner corner points of the right eye, the line between the midpoint of the line between the inner corner points of the left eye and the inner corner points of the right eye of the user and the reference point is perpendicular to the line between the reference point and the center of the aperture stop 10, and the reference point is located on the plane where the light-clearing hole of the aperture stop 10 is located; in another embodiment, when the two eyes of the user observe the images displayed on their respective display screens 40 through the aperture stops 10 in the two measurement groups respectively, and the observation centers of the two eyes of the user match the centers of the corresponding images respectively, the distance between the centers of the two aperture stops 10 at the current position can be measured to obtain the user's pupil distance, that is, the distance between the centers of the two aperture stops 10 at the current position is the user's pupil distance; and the center of one of the aperture stops 10 at the current position is used as the reference point.

[0054] In the pupil distance measurement method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, an aperture stop 10 is arranged on one side of the observation lens 20 to limit the size of the light output, which is conducive to the focusing of the human eye and avoids the movement of the eyeball; a field stop is arranged on one side of the display screen 40 to limit the range of the image on the display screen 40 that the human eye can see through the field stop 30, so that the human eye can only see the image within the range limited by the field stop 30 through the aperture stop 10, and the reflective point of the image presented on the human eyeball is the location of the visual axis; by moving and adjusting at least one of the aperture stop 10, the observation lens 20, the field stop 30 and the display screen 40, the image displayed on the display screen 40 is displayed. The light beams are sequentially passed through the field diaphragm 30, the observation lens 20 and the aperture diaphragm 10 into the human eye, so that the user can see the image. At the same time, the movement of the light beams can also make the observation center of the user's eye match the center of the image. When the user sees the image and the observation center of the user's eye matches the center of the image, the distance between the center of the current aperture diaphragm 10 and the reference point is measured to obtain the user's pupil distance. In this way, when the pupil distance measurement method is applied to the field of near-eye display, the user can first measure his own pupil distance, and then adjust the pupil distance of the near-eye display system according to his own pupil distance, thereby relieving fatigue and improving user experience. The measurement work selected when measuring the pupil distance can be a common ruler or a digital ruler.

[0055] For ease of understanding, the following describes the pupil distance measurement method in the embodiment of the present disclosure with a specific example. Figure 2 As shown, another embodiment of the pupil distance measurement method in the disclosed embodiment includes:

[0056] Step S201 , arranging the aperture stop 10 , the observation lens 20 , the field stop 30 and the display screen 40 along the optical axis direction of the observation lens 20 .

[0057] The content of step S201 in this embodiment is the same as that in the previous Figure 1 The content of step S101 in the illustrated embodiment is the same and will not be repeated here.

[0058] Step S202, adjust the center of the aperture stop 10, the center of the field stop 30, and the center of the display screen 40 so that they are all located on the optical axis of the observation lens 20. This setting is conducive to indirectly obtaining the pupil distance of the human eye by measuring the distance between the center of the aperture stop 10 and the reference point.

[0059] After the aperture stop 10 is installed on the eyepiece side of the observation lens 20, it is ensured that the center of the aperture stop 10 is coaxial with the center of the observation lens 20, so that the center of the aperture stop 10 is located on the optical axis of the observation lens 20, and the aperture stop 10 and the observation lens 20 remain relatively fixed; and when the field stop 30 is installed on the display side of the display screen 40, it is ensured that the center of the field stop 30 is coaxial with the center of the display screen 40, and the field stop 30 and the display screen 40 remain relatively fixed, and at the same time, the center of the display screen 40 is located on the optical axis of the observation lens 20, so that when the aperture stop 10, the field stop 30, the display screen 40, and the observation lens 20 move synchronously, it is beneficial to ensure the accuracy of measuring the pupil distance of the human eye.

[0060] Step S203, adjusting the beam aperture size of the aperture diaphragm 10, and / or adjusting the imaging range size of the field of view diaphragm 30. By adjusting the aperture aperture size of the aperture diaphragm 10 and adjusting the imaging range size of the field of view diaphragm 30, it is helpful to improve the accuracy of measuring the pupil distance of the human eye. When the aperture diaphragm 10 uses a plug-in diaphragm, a set aperture is selected, and the smaller the aperture, the better. When an adjustable diaphragm is used, the aperture of the adjustable diaphragm is adjusted to the minimum. For the adjustment of the field of view diaphragm, when a physical diaphragm is used, it can be adjusted to the minimum, and when an electronic diaphragm is used first, the electronic diaphragm is on the display screen 40, and it processes the displayed image and only displays the image in a smaller field of view.

[0061] Step S204: The aperture stop 10, the observation lens 20, the field stop 30 and the display screen 40 are moved synchronously, so that the aperture stop 10 corresponds to the position of the user's single eye. The user's left eye observes an image on a display screen 40 through an aperture stop 10, and the observation center of the user's left eye matches the center of the image on the corresponding display screen 40; the user's right eye observes an image on another display screen 40 through another aperture stop 10, and the observation center of the user's right eye matches the center of the image on the corresponding display screen 40.

[0062] When the center of the aperture stop 10, the center of the field stop 30, and the center of the display screen 40 are located together on the optical axis of the observation lens 20, the aperture stop 10, the observation lens 20, the field stop 30, and the display screen 40 are moved synchronously so that the aperture stop 10 corresponds to the position of the user's eyes, that is, the two eyes of the user are adjusted to the positions of the aperture stop 10 of the corresponding measurement group, for example: first close one of the eyes, and adjust the position of the other open eye to the corresponding aperture stop 10. When the user perceives that the observation center of the currently opened eye matches the center of the image on the corresponding display screen 40, the horizontal movement of one measurement group is completed; then open the previously closed eye, close the other eye, and adjust the position of the currently opened eye to the corresponding aperture stop 10. When the user perceives that the observation center of the currently opened eye matches the center of the image on the corresponding display screen 40, the horizontal movement of another measurement group is completed.

[0063] Step S205: measure the distance between the current center of an aperture stop 10 corresponding to the user's left eye and the current center of another aperture stop 10 corresponding to the user's right eye, and determine the distance between the current centers of the two aperture stops 10 as the user's pupil distance. After adjusting the two aperture stops 10 of the two measurement groups, the distance between the centers of the two aperture stops 10 at the current positions is the distance between the two pupils of the user, i.e., the user's pupil distance.

[0064] It should be noted that the order between step S202 and step S203 can be swapped, that is, first adjust the beam aperture size of the aperture diaphragm 10, and / or adjust the imaging range size of the field of view diaphragm 30; and then adjust the center of the aperture diaphragm 10, the center of the field of view diaphragm 30, and the center of the display screen 40 so that they are all located on the optical axis of the observation lens 20.

[0065] In one or more embodiments, the present disclosure further provides a near-eye display system, a VR near-eye display system or an AR near-eye display system, the near-eye display system comprising: an observation lens 20, a display screen 40 and a measuring module; an aperture stop 10 is arranged on the observation lens 20; a field stop 30 is arranged on the display side of the display screen 40, and the field stop 30 is located between the observation lens 20 and the display screen 40; the center of the aperture stop 10, the center of the field stop 30, and the center of the display screen 40 are jointly located on the optical axis of the observation lens 20, and the aperture stop 10, the observation lens 20, the field stop 30, and the display screen 40 can maintain synchronous movement, that is, when the observation lens 20 is adjusted, the aperture stop 10, the field stop 30, and the display screen 40 move together with the observation lens 20, thereby ensuring that the center of the aperture stop 10, the center of the field stop 30, and the center of the display screen 40 are always located on the optical axis of the observation lens 20. The measurement module is configured to measure the distance between the center of the current aperture stop 10 and the reference point to obtain the user's pupil distance when the light emitted by the image displayed on the display screen 40 is observed by the user's single eye through the field of view stop 30, the observation lens 20 and the aperture stop 10 in sequence, and the observation center of the user's eye matches the center of the image.

[0066] In some embodiments, an aperture stop 10 is disposed on the eyepiece side of the observation lens 20 .

[0067] It should be noted that, in some other implementation schemes, the aperture stop may also be disposed on the side of the observation lens farthest from the user's eyes (non-eyepiece side), or the aperture stop may be disposed inside the observation lens.

[0068] In at least one embodiment, the near-eye display system of the present disclosure is used to limit the range of images that the human eye can see at different eye point distances by adding a field stop 30; and at the same time, the aperture stop 10 is used to limit the position of the image that the human eye can see. The aperture stop 10 and the field stop 30 can cooperate well to limit the position of the image that the human eye can see, so as to determine the pupil position of the eyepiece of the near-eye display system. There is a fixed numerical relationship between the ruler and the aperture stop 10, that is, when a person measures the pupil distance through the near-eye display system, the ruler can simultaneously display the value of the human eye pupil distance, thereby achieving the matching of the human eye pupil and the near-eye display system pupil, and determining the human eye pupil distance data by measuring the pupil distance value of the near-eye display system.

[0069] In some embodiments, the aperture diaphragm 10 includes a plug-in diaphragm with a fixed aperture or / and an adjustable diaphragm with an adjustable aperture. The field of view diaphragm 30 includes an electronic diaphragm or / and a physical diaphragm. The measurement module is a ruler, which represents the horizontal distance between the centers of the aperture diaphragms 10 corresponding to the left and right eyes in real time. When the observation centers of the two eyes match the centers of the image respectively, the value displayed by the ruler is the user's pupil distance. The field of view diaphragm 30 is set on the display screen 40, and its main function is to control the size of the field of view to ensure that the human eye can obtain accurate measurement values ​​at different eye point distances. When an electronic diaphragm is used, the center of the electronic diaphragm needs to be consistent with the center of the observation lens 20 and the center of the aperture diaphragm 10; when a physical diaphragm is used, a physical diaphragm is added to the display screen 40. The center of the field of view diaphragm 30 is consistent with the center of the display screen 40, the center of the lens, and the center of the aperture diaphragm 10.

[0070] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, when the scale is a digital scale, the data of the digital scale is sent to the controller of the near-eye display system, and the controller sends the user's pupil distance data to the voice broadcast device, which performs voice broadcast through the voice broadcast device.

[0071] See also Figure 3 and Fig.10 As shown, the method for measuring pupil distance using the near-eye display system in the embodiment of the present disclosure is as follows:

[0072] Step S301, turn on the near-eye display system, thereby starting the display screen 40 of the near-eye display system. When the near-eye display system is also provided with a diopter adjustment device, diopter adjustment is performed at the same time to ensure that the human eye can see the image clearly.

[0073] Step S302, setting the field aperture 30. When the field aperture 30 uses a physical aperture, the physical aperture is placed in front of the display screen 40. When the field aperture 30 uses an electronic aperture, the electronic aperture can be applied to the display screen 40 through the menu selection of the near-eye display system.

[0074] Step S303, setting the aperture stop 10. When the aperture stop 10 is a plug-in type stop, the plug-in type stop is inserted into a preset slot on the near-eye display system. When the aperture stop 10 is an adjustable stop, the aperture of the adjustable stop is reduced to the minimum.

[0075] Step S304: The user wears the near-eye display system, closes one eye, and adjusts the position of the observation lens 20 corresponding to the open eye so that the eye can see the image and is in the center of human eye observation.

[0076] Step S305: adjust the position of the observation lens 20 corresponding to the other eye so that the eye can see the image and is in the center of human eye observation.

[0077] Step S306: read the value displayed on the ruler to obtain the user's pupil distance.

[0078] The pupil distance measurement method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can quickly measure the pupil distance of the human eye on the near-eye display system, and realize the rapid measurement of the pupil distance value. The pupil distance of the eyepiece and the pupil distance of the video source can be set according to the measured pupil distance value of the human eye, so that the human eye, the optical axis of the observation lens 20, the center of the display screen 40, and the center of the video source (i.e., the center of the image) are unified on a straight line, so that the human eye can see the image clearly, and the dizziness caused by long-term wear can be reduced.
