Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of electronic devices, specifically to an optical lens module and a virtual reality device. Background Technology
[0002] In virtual reality technology, image information is presented based on optical lens modules, and electrical signals generated by computer technology are combined with various output devices to transform the image information into objects that people can perceive. These objects can be similar to real objects or virtual objects.
[0003] Currently, existing optical lens modules are Fresnel lens groups or hyperboloid multi-lens groups, which have poor imaging effects, large size, and heavy weight. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the present disclosure provides an optical lens module and a virtual reality device to overcome or alleviate the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this disclosure is as follows:
[0006] An optical lens module includes: a display image source, a first lens, a second lens, and a third lens arranged sequentially along a first light propagation direction, wherein:
[0007] The display image source is used to emit circularly polarized light that propagates along the direction of the first light beam;
[0008] The first lens has a convex or flat incident surface and a convex exit surface. The circularly polarized light is propagated to the incident and exit surfaces of the second lens through its incident and exit surfaces.
[0009] The second lens has a convex incident surface and a convex exit surface to propagate the circularly polarized light to the third lens;
[0010] The third lens has a concave incident surface and a flat exit surface. An optical composite film is disposed on its exit surface. The circularly polarized light is received by the first lens and the second lens. Based on the optical composite film, the polarization state of the circularly polarized light is adjusted to form a first linearly polarized light that propagates along the second propagation direction. The first linearly polarized light is then converted into a second circularly polarized light. Through optical path folding, the second circularly polarized light is converted into a second linearly polarized light to pass through the exit surface of the third lens. The second linearly polarized light propagates along the first light propagation direction to form an image. The second propagation direction is opposite to the first light propagation direction.

[0012] In this embodiment, the first lens effectively compresses the volume of the circularly polarized light entering the first lens; the second lens, in conjunction with the third lens, enables the optical composite film layer disposed on the exit surface of the third lens to adjust the polarization state of the circularly polarized light and fold the optical path, correct residual aberrations, and simultaneously achieve high imaging resolution, ensuring good imaging effect. At the same time, it also makes the total optical length of the entire optical lens module small, greatly reducing the volume and weight of the optical lens module. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages to be solved by this disclosure clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0032] In the description of this disclosure, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this disclosure and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0033] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an optical lens module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; as shown Figure 1As shown, the optical lens module includes: a display image source IMA, a first lens L1, a second lens L2, and a third lens L3 arranged sequentially along the first light propagation direction, wherein: the display image source IMA is used to emit circularly polarized light propagating along the first light propagation direction; the first lens L1 has a convex incident surface (or a flat surface in other embodiments) and a convex exit surface, and propagates the circularly polarized light to the incident and exit surfaces of the second lens L2 through its incident and exit surfaces, so as to propagate the circularly polarized light to the second lens L2; the second lens L2 has a convex incident surface and a convex exit surface, so as to propagate the circularly polarized light to the third lens; the third lens L3 has a concave incident surface and a flat exit surface, and its exit surface... An optical composite film layer is provided on the surface. The circularly polarized light is received through the first lens and the second lens. Based on the optical composite film layer, the polarization state of the circularly polarized light is adjusted to form first linearly polarized light that propagates along the second propagation direction. The first linearly polarized light is then converted into second circularly polarized light. Through optical path folding, the second circularly polarized light is converted into second linearly polarized light to pass through the exit surface of the third lens. The second linearly polarized light propagates along the first light propagation direction to form an image. The second propagation direction is opposite to the first light propagation direction. For example, the first light propagation direction points from the display image source IMA to the third lens L3, while the second light propagation direction points from the third lens L3 to the display image source IMA.
[0034] The light-incident surface of the first lens is convex or flat, and the light-outcident surface is convex. The light-incident surface of the second lens is convex, and the light-outcident surface is convex. The light-incident surface of the third lens is concave, and the light-outcident surface is flat. This is a description of the overall shape of the light-incident and light-outcident surfaces of the first, second, and third lenses. It does not mean that the thickness of the first, second, and third lenses must vary uniformly to meet the shape requirements of their respective light-incident and light-outcident surfaces.
[0035] The optical path from the display image source to the third lens L3 is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the second linearly polarized light is ultimately formed, propagating along the first light propagation direction and passing through the third lens into the human eye.
[0036] In this embodiment, the first lens effectively compresses the volume of the circularly polarized light entering the first lens L1; the second lens, in conjunction with the third lens L3, enables the optical composite film layer disposed on the exit surface of the third lens L3 to adjust the polarization state of the circularly polarized light and fold the optical path, correct residual aberrations, and simultaneously achieve high imaging resolution, ensuring good imaging effect. At the same time, it also makes the total optical length of the entire optical lens module small, greatly reducing the volume and weight of the optical lens module.
[0037] In this embodiment, the materials of the first lens L1, the second lens L2, and the third lens L3 can be the same or different.
[0038] Furthermore, the focal length f1 of the first lens satisfies: 30mm < f1 < 130mm, giving the first lens L1 a large positive optical power, effectively compressing the volume of the circularly polarized light entering the first lens L1; the focal length f2 of the second lens satisfies: 50mm < f2 < 100mm, giving the second lens L2 a large positive optical power; simultaneously, the focal length f3 of the third lens satisfies: -150mm < f3 < -50mm, giving the third lens L3 a negative optical power, and an optical composite film layer is provided on the exit surface of the third lens L3, together realizing the polarization state adjustment of the circularly polarized light. Combined with the second lens L2, which has positive optical power, this achieves optical path folding, corrects residual aberrations, and results in high imaging resolution, ensuring good imaging effects. At the same time, it keeps the overall optical length of the optical lens module small, greatly reducing the size and weight of the optical lens module.
[0039] When the above-mentioned optical lens module is applied to wearable interactive devices (such as to realize virtual reality), the overall focus can be achieved by adjusting the distance between the display image source IMA and each lens; further adjusting the relative position of the first lens L1 with respect to the second lens L2 and the third lens L3 can achieve internal focus, which makes it convenient for nearsighted people to wear the device after removing their glasses.
[0040] Furthermore, since the first lens L1 has a convex or flat incident surface and a convex exit surface, it can achieve a large positive optical power to effectively compress the circularly polarized light before propagating to the second lens L2. The second lens L2 has a convex incident surface and a convex exit surface, which can further compress the circularly polarized light. The third lens L3 has a concave incident surface and a flat exit surface, achieving a positive optical power and converging the light beam emitted from the third lens. In addition, the optical composite film layer on the exit surface of the third lens L3 adjusts the polarization state of the circularly polarized light and folds the optical path, ensuring good imaging effect. At the same time, it makes the total optical length of the entire optical lens module small, greatly reducing the size and weight of the optical lens module.
[0041] Furthermore, in addition to satisfying the above-mentioned relationships, the focal lengths of each lens in the optical lens module are as follows: the focal length f1 of the first lens L1 satisfies: 1F < |f1| < 6F; the focal length f2 of the second lens L2 satisfies: 2F < |f2| < 4F; and the focal length f3 of the third lens L3 satisfies: 4F < |f3| < 6F, where F represents the system focal length of the optical lens module. This achieves both a thinner and lighter optical lens module and good imaging performance.
[0042] Optionally, the total optical length TTL of the optical lens module and the system focal length F of the optical lens module satisfy: 0.5≤TTL / F≤1.5, thereby reducing the thickness of the optical lens module and the total optical length of the entire optical lens module.
[0043] Optionally, the thickness CT1 of the first lens on the main optical axis and the total optical length TTL of the optical lens module satisfy: 0.1≤CT1 / TTL≤0.3, thereby reducing the total optical length of the optical lens module.
[0044] Optionally, the thickness CT2 of the second lens L2 on the main optical axis satisfies the following condition with respect to the total optical length TTL of the optical lens module: 0.2≤CT2 / TTL≤0.4, thereby effectively realizing optical path folding and reducing the total optical length and volume of the optical lens module.
[0045] Optionally, the thickness CT3 of the third lens L3 on the main optical axis and the total optical length TTL of the optical lens module satisfy the condition: 0.05≤CT3 / TTL≤0.1, thereby compressing the total length of the optical lens module and reducing the thickness of the optical lens module.
[0046] Optionally, the thickness CT2 of the second lens on the main optical axis and the edge thickness ET2 of the second lens satisfy: 2.5≤CT2 / ET2≤5.0, thereby effectively correcting the residual aberrations of the optical lens module.
[0047] Optionally, the effective optical diameter DM2 of the second lens and the thickness CT2 of the second lens on the main optical axis satisfy: 6.5≤DM2 / CT2≤7.0, thereby reducing the aperture of the optical lens module.
[0048] Optionally, the thickness CT3 of the third lens on the main optical axis and the air gap D3 between the second lens and the third lens on the main optical axis are: 4.0≤CT3 / D3≤7.0, thereby reducing the total optical path of the optical lens module and compressing the total length of the optical lens module.
[0049] Optionally, the aspherical surface profile curve of any one of the first lens L1, the second lens L2, and the third lens L3 is determined according to the following formula:
[0050]
[0051] Where z is the sag, c is the curvature corresponding to the radius of curvature, r is the radial length, K is the conic conic coefficient, and α1 to α 10 These represent the coefficients corresponding to each radial coordinate on the radius of curvature. When K is less than -1, the surface profile of the lens is a hyperbola; when K equals -1, the surface profile of the lens is a parabola; when K is between -1 and 0, the surface profile of the lens is an ellipse; when K equals 0, the surface profile of the lens is a circle; and when the coefficient K is greater than 0, the surface profile of the lens is an oval.
[0052] Based on the formula for determining the surface curve of an aspherical surface, a suitable aspherical surface, such as the convex or concave surface mentioned above, can be configured according to the needs of the application scenario.
[0053] Optionally, the distance between the exit surface of the third lens L3 and the human eye is not less than 12mm, and the range of the conical area formed between the exit surface of the third lens L3 and the human eye is not less than 10mm. This facilitates the display image source to form the optimal imaging position after being processed by the optical lens module, thereby enhancing the user experience and allowing the user to quickly adjust to the optimal imaging position.
[0054] Optionally, the optical lens module has a refractive power range of 0D to -7D, thereby ensuring that the optical lens module has good screen clarity performance and can meet the usage needs of most users.
[0055] Optionally, the diopter can be quickly adjusted by moving the display image source.
[0056] Optionally, the field of view (FOV) of the optical lens module satisfies: 90°≤FOV≤105°, thereby reducing dizziness and improving immersion.
[0057] Optionally, the refractive indices of the first lens L1, the second lens L2, and the third lens L3 satisfy: 2.8≤Nd3+Nd2≤3.4, |Nd3-Nd1|≤0.1, and |Nd1-Nd2|≤0.2; where Nd1 is the refractive index of the first lens L1, Nd2 is the refractive index of the second lens L2, and Nd3 is the refractive index of the third lens L3.
[0058] Furthermore, the Abbe numbers of the first lens L1, the second lens L2, and the third lens L3 satisfy: 70≤Vd3+Vd2≤85, |Vd3-Vd1|≤40, |Vd1-Vd2|≤40; where Vd1 is the Abbe number of the first lens L1, Vd2 is the Abbe number of the second lens L2, and Vd3 is the Abbe number of the third lens L3.
[0059] In one embodiment, the refractive index represents the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a lens, while the Abbe number (also known as the dispersion coefficient) is used to measure the imaging quality of the lens. Generally, the Abbe number is inversely proportional to the refractive index of the lens; a higher refractive index indicates a stronger ability to refract incident light. When the refractive index of the lens is large, the Abbe number is small, the dispersion is more pronounced, and the imaging quality is worse; conversely, a smaller refractive index results in better imaging quality. Therefore, in this embodiment, by setting the refractive index and Abbe number of each lens as described above, aberration correction can be achieved, thereby ensuring high image resolution.
[0060] Optionally, in one embodiment, the light-incident surface of the second lens L2 is further coated with a semi-transparent and semi-reflective film, thereby cooperating with the optical composite film layer to adjust the polarization state of the circularly polarized light to form a first linearly polarized light propagating along the second propagation direction, and converting the first linearly polarized light into a second circularly polarized light, and then converting the second circularly polarized light into a second linearly polarized light through optical path folding.
[0061] Optionally, the optical composite film layer includes a first film layer, a second film layer, a third film layer, and a fourth film layer sequentially arranged along the first light propagation direction. The first film layer is used to perform anti-reflection treatment on the circularly polarized light to avoid a large amount of reflection of the circularly polarized light, effectively improving the overall transmittance of the system and increasing image contrast. The second film layer is used to adjust the polarization state of the circularly polarized light to generate first linearly polarized light propagating along the first light propagation direction. The polarization direction of the first linearly polarized light is perpendicular to the transmission axis of the third film layer, so that the third film layer is used to reflect the first linearly polarized light to generate first linearly polarized light propagating along the second propagation direction. The first linearly polarized light is then processed by the second film layer to achieve a further adjustment of its polarization state to generate second circularly polarized light, which is then sequentially incident on the second lens L2 and reflected by the semi-transparent and semi-reflective film coated on the light-incident surface of the second lens L2 to complete the folding of the optical path. Then, the light exits from the exit surface of the second lens L2 and enters the third lens L3. It then passes through the first and second film layers on the incident surface of the third lens L3, causing the second circularly polarized light to be converted into second linearly polarized light. The polarization direction of the second linearly polarized light is consistent with the transmission axis direction of the third film layer, so that the second linearly polarized light passes through the exit surface of the third lens L3. The fourth film layer is used to reinforce the light leakage of the third film layer and does not change the above polarization state. The second linearly polarized light propagates along the first light propagation direction to form an image, and the second propagation direction is opposite to the first light propagation direction.
[0062] The specific implementation of the first, second, third, and fourth membrane layers can be determined according to the requirements of the application scenario.
[0063] Based on the above description of the embodiments of this disclosure, the configuration of each lens will be described in the following exemplary manner in combination with the needs of specific application scenarios.
[0064] Application Scenario (1): f1 = 46.75mm, f2 = 70.42mm, f3 = -108.99mm, TTL = 24.71mm, CT2 / ET2 = 3.88, DM2 / CT2 = 6.71, CT3 / D3 = 5.30.

[0078] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the optical lens module described in application scenario one; as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the first lens has a convex incident surface and a convex exit surface, the second lens has a convex incident surface and a convex exit surface, and the third lens has a concave incident surface and a flat exit surface.

Figure 3 As shown, the horizontal axis represents the number of line pairs per millimeter (spatial frequency in cycles per mm) on the imaging surface, with units of lp / mm, and the vertical axis represents the modulation transfer function (MTF) value. To initially verify the effectiveness of the disclosed scheme, the following six image source parameters were configured to determine the MTF value.
[0080] Among the six image source parameters, each image source parameter includes the image height of the displayed image source and whether the imaging quality is meridional or sagittal, as detailed below:
[0081] (1) Image height of 9.00 mm, Sagittal imaging quality, and its corresponding modulation transfer function is labeled MTF5;
[0082] (2) Image height of 0.00 mm, Sagittal imaging quality, and its corresponding modulation transfer function is labeled MTF4;
[0083] (3) Image quality with an image height of 0.00 mm and a meridional ray (Tangential) is characterized by a modulation transfer function labeled MTF4.
[0084] (4) Image height of 9.00 mm, Sagittal imaging quality, and its corresponding modulation transfer function is labeled MTF3;
[0085] (5) Image height of 18.00 mm, meridional imaging quality, and its corresponding modulation transfer function is labeled MTF2;
[0086] (6) Image height is 18.00 mm, Sagittal imaging quality, and its corresponding modulation transfer function is labeled MTF1;
[0087] See Figure 3 As shown, the values of all modulation transfer functions are greater than the threshold value of 0.4 for a better-matched modulation transfer function, thus exhibiting good resolution.
[0088] The above Figure 3 The specific image source parameters selected are merely examples and are not unique limitations.
[0089] Figure 4 This is the diffusion pattern for application scenario one; by Figure 4As can be seen, the image source parameters of the displayed image source are denoted as (center field of view, image height). In this embodiment, the image source parameters of 11 sets of displayed image sources are used as an example to illustrate the technical effects of the present disclosure embodiment from the perspective of field of view diffusion spots. The image source parameters of the 11 display image sources are denoted as IMA(0.000,0.000mm), IMA(0.000,1.800mm), IMA(0.000,3.600mm), IMA(0.000,5.400mm), IMA(0.000,7.200mm), IMA(0.000,9.000mm), IMA(0.000,10.800mm), IMA(0.000,12.600mm), IMA(0.000,14.400mm), IMA(0.000,16.200mm), and IMA(0.000,18.000mm).
[0090] like Figure 4 As shown, the size of the blur spot is on the vertical axis. It can be seen that under the image source parameters of the 11 sets of display image sources, the size of the blur spot is smaller than the blur spot size threshold (e.g., 50um) when the matching image quality is good. Therefore, the image quality is good.
[0091] Figure 5 This is a graph showing the field curvature and distortion curves for application scenario one. For example... Figure 5 As shown, for field curvature, the vertical axis represents the field size, and the horizontal axis represents the field curvature size, with the unit being millimeters. For distortion (F-Tan(Theta) Distortion), the horizontal axis represents the distortion size (expressed as a percentage), where S represents the field curvature in the sagittal direction and T represents the field curvature in the meridional direction. Figure 5 As shown, the field curvature across the entire field of view is less than the field curvature threshold, for example, 0.5 mm. See also... Figure 5 In the figure, the distortion value is located to the left of 0 and shows a linear change, indicating that the field curvature correction of the scheme in the present embodiment is good and the distortion has no inversion.
[0092] Application Scenario (II): f1 = 51.66mm, f2 = 73.86mm, f3 = -113.93mm, TTL = 24.71mm, CT2 / ET2 = 3.33, DM2 / CT2 = 6.51, CT3 / D3 = 4.81.

To initially verify the effectiveness of the disclosed scheme, the following six image source parameters were configured to determine the MTF value.
[0107] Among the six image source parameters, each image source parameter includes the image height of the displayed image source and whether the imaging quality is meridional or sagittal, as detailed below:

[0114] See Figure 7 As shown, the values of all modulation transfer functions are greater than the threshold value of 0.4 for a better-matched modulation transfer function, thus exhibiting good resolution.
[0115] The above Figure 7 The specific image source parameters selected are merely examples and are not unique limitations.
[0116] Figure 8 This is the diffusion pattern for application scenario two; by Figure 8 As can be seen, the image source parameters of the displayed image source are denoted as (center field of view, image height). In this embodiment, the image source parameters of 11 sets of displayed image sources are used as an example to illustrate the technical effects of the present disclosure embodiment from the perspective of field of view diffusion spots. The image source parameters of the 11 display image sources are denoted as IMA(0.000,0.000mm), IMA(0.000,1.915mm), IMA(0.000,3.830mm), IMA(0.000,5.745mm), IMA(0.000,7.660mm), IMA(0.000,9.575mm), IMA(0.000,11.490mm), IMA(0.000,13.405mm), IMA(0.000,15.320mm), IMA(0.000,17.235mm), and IMA(0.000,19.150mm).
[0117] like Figure 8As shown, the size of the blur spot is on the vertical axis. It can be seen that under the image source parameters of the 11 sets of display image sources, the size of the blur spot is smaller than the blur spot size threshold (e.g., 50um) when the matching image quality is good. Therefore, the image quality is good.

[0169] Figure 16 For the diffusion pattern in application scenario four; by Figure 16As can be seen, the image source parameters of the displayed image source are denoted as (center field of view, image height). In this embodiment, 11 sets of image source parameters of the displayed image source are used as examples to illustrate the technical effects of the embodiments of this disclosure from the perspective of field of view blur. In this embodiment, 11 sets of image source parameters of the displayed image source are used as examples to illustrate the technical effects of the embodiments of this disclosure from the perspective of field of view blur.

[0170] like Figure 16 As shown, the size of the blur spot is on the vertical axis. It can be seen that under the image source parameters of the 11 sets of display image sources, the size of the blur spot is smaller than the other blur spot size threshold (e.g., 100um) when the matching image quality is better. Therefore, the image quality is good.

[0172] Figure 18 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the relationship between the human eye position and image quality in the application scenarios described above; the planes containing positions A, C, D, E, and F are parallel to the image plane. Figure 18As shown, since position B is located on the principal optical axis of the optical lens module, the aberration is relatively small. However, when the human eye is located at positions A, C, D, E, and F, it is not on the principal optical axis. Therefore, the image quality is best when the human eye is located at position B, while there are large residual aberrations at other positions, resulting in poor image quality.
