Furthermore, when expressions such as "at least one of..." appear after a list of listed features, they modify the entire list of features, not individual elements in the list. Additionally, when describing embodiments of this application, the word "may" is used to mean "one or more embodiments of this application." And the term "exemplary" is intended to refer to an example or illustration.

Specifically, the shapes of the spherical or aspherical surfaces shown in the drawings are illustrated by way of example. That is, the shapes of the spherical or aspherical surfaces are not limited to those shown in the drawings. The drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not strictly to scale.

[0049] In the description of this application, the paraxial region refers to the region near the optical axis. If the lens surface is convex and the location of the convexity is not defined, it means that the lens surface is convex at least in the paraxial region.

[0071] In this exemplary embodiment, the axial distance SAG31 between the intersection of the far-light surface and the optical axis of the third lens and the vertex of the effective radius of the far-light surface of the third lens, and the axial distance SAG32 between the intersection of the near-light surface and the optical axis of the third lens and the vertex of the effective radius of the near-light surface of the third lens, satisfy: 0.1 < |SAG31 - SAG32| / CT3 < 1.0. By controlling the relationship between the height of the two surfaces of the third lens and the center thickness, the shape of the third lens is constrained, which helps to reduce the difficulty of the lens forming process, control the light direction, optimize the ghosting produced by the third lens, and improve the imaging quality of the system. More specifically, the axial distance SAG31 between the intersection of the far-light surface and the optical axis of the third lens and the vertex of the effective radius of the far-light surface of the third lens, and the axial distance SAG32 between the intersection of the near-light surface and the optical axis of the third lens and the vertex of the effective radius of the near-light surface of the third lens, satisfy: 0.3 < |SAG31 - SAG32| / CT3 < 0.7.

[0072] In the present exemplary embodiment, the on-axis distance TD from the far-light surface of the first lens to the near-light surface of the third lens and half of the maximum field angle Semi-FOV of the optical system satisfy: Semi-FOV > 50°; 15.0 mm < TD × tan(Semi-FOV) < 40.0 mm. By controlling the parameter relationship between the FOV and the body length, it is possible to further constrain the system length and height while ensuring the viewing angle. More specifically, the on-axis distance TD from the far-light surface of the first lens to the near-light surface of the third lens and half of the maximum field angle Semi-FOV of the optical system satisfy: Semi-FOV > 52.0°; 17.0 mm < TD × tan(Semi-FOV) < 29.0 mm.

[0073] In the present exemplary embodiment, the curvature radius value of the far-light surface of the third lens is less than zero, and the curvature radius value of the near-light surface of the third lens is less than zero. The third lens is in the shape of a meniscus lens with the convex surface facing the display, which can reduce the system focal length and increase the system numerical aperture without introducing significant spherical aberration, thereby enhancing the light collection ability of the system.

[0074] In the present exemplary embodiment, the object side and the image side of any one of the first lens E1 to the third lens E3 are aspherical surfaces. The surface profile x of each aspherical lens can be defined by, but not limited to, the following aspherical formula:

[0075]

[0076] where x is the sagitta distance from the vertex of the aspherical surface when the aspherical surface is along the optical axis at a position with a height of h; c is the paraxial curvature of the aspherical surface, c = 1 / R (i.e., the paraxial curvature c is the reciprocal of the curvature radius R in Table 1); k is the conic coefficient; and Ai is the correction coefficient of the i-th order of the aspherical surface.

[0077] In the present exemplary embodiment, the above optical system may further include an aperture stop. The aperture stop can be set at an appropriate position as needed. For example, the aperture stop can be set between the object side and the first lens. Optionally, the above optical system may further include a filter for correcting color deviation and / or a protective glass for protecting the photosensitive element located on the imaging surface.

[0078] The optical system according to the above embodiment of the present application may use multiple lenses, such as the three lenses described above. By reasonably distributing the optical power, surface profile, central thickness of each lens, and on-axis spacing between each lens, etc., the optical system has a larger field of view range and ensures the compactness of the optical system.

[0079] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one of the far-light and near-light surfaces of each lens is aspherical; that is, at least one surface from the far-light surface of the first lens to the near-light surface of the third lens is aspherical. 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 far-light and near-light surfaces of each of the first, second, and third lenses is aspherical. Optionally, both the far-light and near-light surfaces of each of the first, second, and third lenses are aspherical.

[0080] However, those skilled in the art will understand that the number of lenses constituting the optical system 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 optical system is not limited to including three lenses, and may include other numbers of lenses if necessary.

[0084] The first lens E1 to the third lens E3 are arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the position furthest from the display to the position closest to the display. A reflective polarizing element RP and a quarter-wave plate QWP are sequentially arranged between the first lens E1 and the second lens E2.

Each of the first to third lenses has a far-light surface far from the display and a near-light surface close to the display; the far-light surface of the third lens has a partially reflective layer. The display emits circularly polarized light (a quarter-wave plate is attached to the front of the display). After passing through the third lens, the second lens, and the quarter-wave plate, the light becomes linearly polarized. It is reflected after reaching the near-light surface of the reflective polarizing element, then passes through the quarter-wave plate and the second lens before reaching the far-light surface of the third lens. There, it is reflected by the partially reflective layer on the far-light surface of the third lens, and then passes through the second lens, the quarter-wave plate, the reflective polarizing element, and the first lens before entering the human eye.
