Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of optical imaging, and particularly relates to a visual system for VR. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, as mobile phone development has reached a bottleneck, other visual display technologies have become an important alternative, with concepts such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Extended Reality (XR) gradually emerging. Among these, Virtual Reality (VR) technology has developed rapidly, progressing through aspherical lenses, Fresnel lenses, and folding lens structures, with its development direction gradually converging. Compared to aspherical and Fresnel solutions, the folding optical path structure using folding lenses significantly reduces the thickness and weight of the visual system, increasing user comfort and gaining consumer favor.
[0003] However, due to limitations in coating technology, the lenses used in folded optical path solutions have fewer degrees of freedom, and therefore the performance of existing folded optical path structures using 1P and 2P still needs improvement.

[0055] Exemplary Implementation
[0056] This exemplary embodiment provides a visual system for VR, including: a first element group, a second element group, a third element group, and a light source; the first element group includes a first lens; the second element group includes a second lens, a reflective polarizing element and a quarter-wave plate in contact with the second lens; the third element group includes a third lens; the first to third element groups are arranged in sequence along the optical axis from a position far from the light source to a position close to the light source, and each lens of the first to third element groups has at least one eye side facing away from the light source and one display side close to the light source; at least one of the eye sides or display sides of the at least one lens has a partial reflection layer; wherein, the focal length F2 of the second element group, the central thickness CT2 of the second lens, and the refractive index N2 of the second lens satisfy: 4 < F2 / CT2 × N2 < 10. The visual system for VR includes a light source, lenses, a reflective polarizing element and a quarter-wave plate attached to the lenses, and a partial reflection layer plated on the lenses. After the light passes through the coating layer and the film layer, the polarization state changes, and the optical path is refracted and reflected, reducing the length of the visual system for VR. Among them, the second lens is mainly used for refracting and reflecting the optical path. By controlling the focal length, central thickness, and refractive index of the second lens, the length of the refraction and reflection can be increased, which is beneficial to reducing the thickness of the visual system. More specifically, the focal length F2 of the second element group, the central thickness CT2 of the second lens, and the refractive index N2 of the second lens satisfy: 3.6 < F2 / CT2 × N2 < 7.
[0057] In this exemplary embodiment, the reflective polarizing element includes at least one eye side facing away from the light source and at least one display side close to the light source, the quarter-wave plate includes at least one eye side facing away from the light source and at least one display side close to the light source, and at least part of the display side of the reflective polarizing element is in contact with the eye side of the quarter-wave plate. The reflective polarizing element and the quarter-wave plate are attached together to form a single film, reducing the number of attachment surfaces of the film and improving the attachment efficiency of the film.
[0058] In this exemplary embodiment, the partial reflection layer is plated on the display side of the second lens or the eye side of the third element group. Plating the partial reflection layer on the display side of the second lens or the eye side of the third element group away from the reflective polarizing element is beneficial to increasing the length of the refraction and reflection.
[0059] In this exemplary embodiment, both the second lens and the third element group of the visual system are meniscus lenses with concave eye sides. Both the second lens and the third element group are meniscus lenses with concave eye sides, which is beneficial to reducing the incident angle of light on the lens surface and increasing the efficiency of light passing through the polarizing element; at the same time, the meniscus lens increases the viewing angle of the visual system for VR, which is beneficial to reducing the boundary effect of the visual system.
[0060] In the present exemplary embodiment, the radius of curvature R3 of the object side surface of the second lens and the radius of curvature R4 of the display side surface of the second lens satisfy: -1 < (R3 - R4) / (R3 + R4) < 2. By controlling the radii of curvature of the two surfaces of the second lens, it is beneficial to constrain the shape of the second lens, which is conducive to applying a film to the curved surface of the second lens. More specifically, the radius of curvature R3 of the object side surface of the second lens and the radius of curvature R4 of the display side surface of the second lens satisfy: -0.05 < (R3 - R4) / (R3 + R4) < 0.09.
[0061] In the present exemplary embodiment, the effective focal length f of the visual system, the semi-field angle semi-fov of the visual system, and the on-axis distance TD from the object side surface of the first element group to the display side surface of the third element group satisfy: 1 < f×tan(semi-fov) / TD < 2. By controlling the focal length, field angle, and on-axis distance from the object side surface of the first element group to the display side surface of the third element group of the system, the focal length of the visual system for VR is small, the field angle is large, and the on-axis distance from the object side surface of the first element group to the display side surface of the third element group is small, so that the system meets the important indicators of the visual system. More specifically, the effective focal length f of the visual system, the semi-field angle semi-fov of the visual system, and the on-axis distance TD from the object side surface of the first element group to the display side surface of the third element group satisfy: 1.4 < f×tan(semi-fov) / TD < 1.80.
[0062] In the present exemplary embodiment, the dispersion coefficient V1 of the first element group, the dispersion coefficient V2 of the second lens, and the dispersion coefficient V3 of the third element group satisfy: 0.5 < (V1 + V3) / V2 < 2. By controlling the dispersion coefficients of the first element group, the second lens, and the third element group, it is beneficial to constrain the chromatic aberration of the system, thereby reducing the influence of the visual system on the screen chromaticity. More specifically, the dispersion coefficient V1 of the first element group, the dispersion coefficient V2 of the second lens, and the dispersion coefficient V3 of the third element group satisfy: 1.18 < (V1 + V3) / V2 < 1.80.
[0063] In the present exemplary embodiment, the radius of curvature R5 of the object side surface of the third element group, the radius of curvature R6 of the display side surface of the third element group, and the refractive index N3 of the third element group satisfy: 0 < R5 / R6×N3 < 2. By controlling the radii of curvature of the two surfaces and the refractive index of the third element group, the focal length of the third element group is effectively controlled, thereby controlling the angle of the light passing through the third element group and reducing the incident angle of the light on the screen. More specifically, the radius of curvature R5 of the object side surface of the third element group, the radius of curvature R6 of the display side surface of the third element group, and the refractive index N3 of the third element group satisfy: 0.40 < R5 / R6×N3 < 1.99.
[0064] In the present exemplary embodiment, the central thickness CT1 of the first element group on the optical axis, the central thickness CT2 of the second lens on the optical axis, the central thickness CT3 of the third element group on the optical axis, and the on-axis distance TD from the object side of the first element group to the image side of the third element group satisfy: 1 < TD / (CT1 + CT2 + CT3) < 2.5. By controlling the ratio of the sum of the thicknesses of the first element group, the second lens, and the third element group to the on-axis distance from the first element group to the third element group, the air gap between the lenses is restricted, which is beneficial to the thinning and lightening of the visual system. More specifically, the central thickness CT1 of the first element group on the optical axis, the central thickness CT2 of the second lens on the optical axis, the central thickness CT3 of the third element group on the optical axis, and the on-axis distance TD from the object side of the first element group to the image side of the third element group satisfy: 1.15 < TD / (CT1 + CT2 + CT3) < 2.1.
[0065] In the present exemplary embodiment, the refractive index N1 of the first element group, the refractive index N2 of the second lens, and the refractive index N3 of the third element group satisfy: 1.5 < (N1 + N2) / N3 < 2. By controlling the ratio of the sum of the refractive indices of the first element group and the second lens to the refractive index of the third element group, the material selection of the third element group is restricted, which is beneficial to reducing the stress of the lens material, thereby improving the polarization efficiency of the visual system for VR. More specifically, the refractive index N1 of the first element group, the refractive index N2 of the second lens, and the refractive index N3 of the third element group satisfy: 1.60 < (N1 + N2) / N3 < 1.98.
[0066] In the present exemplary embodiment, the focal length F2 of the second element group and the effective focal length f of the visual system satisfy: 0.5 < F2 / f < 1.5. By controlling the ratio of the focal length of the second lens to the focal length of the visual system for VR, the optical power of the system is reasonably distributed, which is beneficial to ensuring the optical performance of the system. More specifically, the focal length F2 of the second element group and the effective focal length f of the visual system satisfy: 1.0 < F2 / f < 1.3.
[0067] In the present exemplary embodiment, both the reflective polarizing element and the quarter-wave plate have a certain thickness. The reflective polarizing element and the quarter-wave plate having a certain thickness are, on the one hand, required for polarization characteristics, and on the other hand, are beneficial to the support of the polarizing element and facilitate the film attachment.
[0068] In the present exemplary embodiment, the focal length F2 of the second element group, the central thickness CT2 of the second lens on the optical axis, the central thickness CTRP of the reflective polarizing element, and the central thickness CTQWP of the quarter-wave plate satisfy: 2 < F2 / (CT2 + CTRP + CTQWP) < 8. By controlling the focal length of the second lens, the central thickness, and the thickness of the polarizing element attached to the surface of the second lens, on the one hand, it is beneficial to control the focal length of the second lens, and on the other hand, it is beneficial to control the shape of the second lens. Combining with the thickness of the polarizing element is beneficial to the attachment of the polarizing element. More specifically, the focal length F2 of the second element group, the central thickness CT2 of the second lens on the optical axis, the central thickness CTRP of the reflective polarizing element, and the central thickness CTQWP of the quarter-wave plate satisfy: 2.3 < F2 / (CT2 + CTRP + CTQWP) < 5.
[0069] In the present exemplary embodiment, the central thickness CT1 of the first element group on the optical axis, the central thickness CT3 of the third element group on the optical axis, the focal length f1 of the first element group, and the focal length f3 of the third element group satisfy: -0.5 < (CT1 + CT3) / (f1 + f3) < 0.5. By controlling the central thicknesses of the first element group and the third element group and the focal lengths of the first element group and the third element group, the first element group is flatter and the third element group is more curved, which is beneficial to reducing the influence of the structural part of the first element group on the total length of the visual system and is also beneficial to the control of the light exit angle by the third element group. More specifically, the central thickness CT1 of the first element group on the optical axis, the central thickness CT3 of the third element group on the optical axis, the focal length f1 of the first element group, and the focal length f3 of the third element group satisfy: -0.45 < (CT1 + CT3) / (f1 + f3) < 0.3.
[0070] In the present exemplary embodiment, the spacing distance T12 between the display side of the first element group and the eye side of the second lens on the optical axis, the spacing distance T23 between the display side of the second lens and the eye side of the third element group on the optical axis, and the central thickness CT2 of the second lens on the optical axis satisfy: 0 < (T12 + T23) / CT2 < 5. Through the above formula, the central thickness of the lens and the gap between the lenses are effectively controlled. On the one hand, it is beneficial to the shaping of each lens, and on the other hand, it is beneficial to the assembly between the lenses. More specifically, the spacing distance T12 between the display side of the first element group and the eye side of the second lens on the optical axis, the spacing distance T23 between the display side of the second lens and the eye side of the third element group on the optical axis, and the central thickness CT2 of the second lens on the optical axis satisfy: 0.2 < (T12 + T23) / CT2 < 1.
[0071] In this exemplary embodiment, the refractive index NRP of the reflective polarizing element, the refractive index NQWP of the quarter-wave plate, and the refractive index N2 of the second lens satisfy the following condition: 1.9 < (NRP + NQWP) / N2 < 2.1. By controlling the ratio of the refractive indices of the reflective polarizing element, the quarter-wave plate, and the second lens, the refractive indices of the three are made close, which helps to reduce the impact of changes in the thickness of the reflective polarizing element and the quarter-wave plate on the visual system used in VR, and increases the selectivity of the polarizing element. More specifically, the refractive index NRP of the reflective polarizing element, the refractive index NQWP of the quarter-wave plate, and the refractive index N2 of the second lens satisfy the following condition: 2.0 < (NRP + NQWP) / N2 < 2.05.
[0072] In this exemplary embodiment, the eye-side and display-side surfaces of any lens in the first element group E1 to the third element group E3 are aspherical, and the surface shape x of each aspherical lens can be defined using, but is not limited to, the following aspherical formula:
[0073]
[0074] Where x is the distance vector from the vertex of the aspherical surface along the optical axis at a height of h; c is the paraxial curvature of the aspherical surface, c = 1 / R (that is, the paraxial curvature c is the reciprocal of the radius of curvature R in Table 1); k is the conic coefficient; Ai is the correction coefficient of the i-th order of the aspherical surface.
[0075] In this exemplary embodiment, the visual system for VR described above may further include an aperture stop. The aperture stop may be positioned as needed, for example, the aperture stop may be positioned before the first element group. Optionally, the visual system for VR described above may further include a filter for correcting color deviation and / or a protective glass for protecting the photosensitive element located on the imaging surface.
[0076] The VR visual system according to the above embodiments of the present invention can employ multiple lenses, such as the three lenses described above. By rationally allocating the optical power, surface shape, center thickness of each lens, and on-axis spacing between each lens, the VR visual system has a large imaging surface, a wide imaging range, and high imaging quality, while ensuring the ultra-thinness of the mobile phone.
[0077] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one of the mirror surfaces of each lens is an aspherical mirror surface; that is, at least one mirror surface from the eye-side of the first element group to the display-side of the third element group is an aspherical mirror surface. The characteristic of an aspherical lens is that its curvature changes continuously from the lens center to the lens periphery. Unlike a spherical lens, which has a constant curvature from the lens center to the lens periphery, an aspherical lens has better curvature radius characteristics, offering advantages in improving distortion aberrations and astigmatism. By using an aspherical lens, aberrations occurring during imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, thereby improving image quality. Optionally, at least one of the eye-side and display-side surfaces of each lens in the first element group, the second lens, and the third element group is an aspherical mirror surface.
[0078] However, those skilled in the art will understand that the number of lenses constituting the visual system for VR can be changed without departing from the technical solutions claimed in this application to obtain the various results and advantages described in this specification. For example, although three lenses are described as an example in the embodiments, the visual system for VR is not limited to including three lenses, and may include other numbers of lenses if desired.
[0079] The following describes in further detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a specific embodiment of the visual system for VR applicable to the above embodiments. Specific Implementation Example 1
