The MTF can reflect the imaging quality of the optical structure. The smoother the MTF curve transition is, the better the imaging quality of the optical structure is. As can be seen from the figure, the MTF of the optical structure at the edge of the field of view reaches 0.23 at a spatial frequency of 30 lp / mm, has good contrast, and meets the requirements of human eye observation.

[0120] Referring to Figure 8A field curvature and distortion curve diagram of an optical structure of an eyepiece of the second embodiment of the present application: the field curvature and distortion curve of the eyepiece optical structure of the second embodiment of the present application at three different wavelengths of light, 486nm (A), 587nm (B), and 656nm (C), respectively, wherein the vertical coordinate is the field angle. Field curvature is a kind of aberration of the object plane forming a curved image, and is characterized by meridional and sagittal field curvature. If the two are too large, the imaging quality of the optical structure will be seriously affected. When the distortion of the structure is less than 4%, the human eye is difficult to detect. As can be seen from the figure, the maximum value of the field curvature of the optical structure at a wavelength of 587nm is about 0.17, and the maximum value of the distortion is about 3.1%, so the distortion is small and difficult to detect.

The diagram describes the size and variation trend of the spherical aberration at different wavelengths (486nm, 587nm, 656nm) and different pupil sizes. As can be seen from the diagram, the spherical aberration of the optical structure is small, ±0.1mm.

[0122] Referring to Figure 10 A point diagram of the optical structure of the eyepiece of the second embodiment of the present application: as can be seen from the diagram, the point diagram of the optical structure is relatively round, the RMS radius is within 0.015mm, the change amount of the RMS radius is not more than 0.008mm, the aberration correction is good, and the imaging quality of the optical structure is good.

The focal length of the cemented lens composed of the first lens and the second lens is f7, and the focal length of the cemented lens composed of the fourth lens and the fifth lens is f8, then f and f7 have the following relationship: 0.13 < f / f7 < 0.23, and f and f8 have the following relationship: -0.05 < f / f8 < 0. By adopting the combination of the even aspheric surface and the binary surface, the cementing of the lenses, and the focal lengths of the lenses and the cemented lenses satisfying specific conditions, the optical structure aberration is greatly eliminated, the sensitivity of each optical component is reduced, the imaging quality is good, and the ocular lens has a long exit pupil distance, which is more convenient and comfortable to use.
