[0002] The perspective technology of an augmented reality (AR) device is optical perspective, which can directly superimpose a virtual image on the visual effect of the real world, so that the real world can directly interact with the virtual world.
[0003] The perspective technology of a virtual reality (VR) device is video perspective, which combines a digital three-dimensional view of the real world with a computer-generated reality simulation, and then displays it on an opaque display; by combining video perspective with appropriate rendering technology and algorithms, interaction between virtual and actual objects is achieved.

[0046] The features, principles and other aspects of this application are described in detail below.
[0047] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2A and Figure 2B As shown, the virtual reality device 10 according to an exemplary embodiment of this application may include a first optical system 100 and a second optical system 200. By combining the first optical system 100 and the second optical system 200, virtual reality fusion of the virtual reality device can be achieved. Specifically, the second optical system 200 can be used to image real-world objects, and the resulting real image is transmitted to a display screen in the form of an electrical signal; the image surface of the first optical system 100 may be located on the display screen, and the first optical system 100 can be used to project a virtual image on the display screen and the aforementioned real image transmitted to the display screen. If projected into the user's eyes, the user can see a combined virtual and real image, enhancing the user's immersion. The first optical system 100 may be configured, for example, as a folding optical system, and its number may be one or more; the second optical system 200 may be configured, for example, as a video perspective optical system, and its number may be one or more. In one example, the virtual reality device 10 may include two symmetrically arranged first optical systems 100. In one example, the virtual reality device 10 also includes a body, the first optical system 100 may be disposed on the inner side of the body, and the second optical system 200 may be disposed on the outer side of the body. The virtual reality device 10 may also include other optical systems, such as a third optical system 300 for interacting with reality, and the number of third optical systems may be one or more.
[0048] In an exemplary embodiment, the first optical system 100 may include a first element group and a second element group arranged sequentially from the first side to the second side along the first optical axis, wherein the first element group may include a reflective polarizing element RP, a quarter-wave plate QWP and a first lens E1'; and the second element group may include a second lens E2'.
[0049] In an exemplary embodiment, the first element group may have positive optical power, and the second element group may have positive or negative optical power. An air gap exists between the first element group and the second element group.
[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, the first side of the first optical system 100 can be, for example, the human eye side, and the second side can be, for example, the display screen side. Correspondingly, the first surface of each element (first lens, second lens, reflective polarizing element, quarter-wave plate) can be a surface near the human eye side, and the second surface can be a surface near the display screen side. In this application, when light passes through the reflective polarizing element, the reflective polarizing element can reflect light in a certain direction and transmit light orthogonal to the reflected light. The quarter-wave plate can be used to convert between circularly polarized light and linearly polarized light to achieve optical path reversal, which is beneficial for shortening the length of the first optical system.
[0051] In an exemplary embodiment, the second surface of the first lens E1' of the first optical system 100 can be a convex surface or a flat surface.
[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, the second surface of the second lens E2' of the first optical system 100 can be aspherical. Aspherical lenses have better radius of curvature characteristics, which has the advantages of improving distortion aberration and astigmatism. By using aspherical lenses, aberrations that occur during imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, thereby improving image quality.
[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, the first optical system 100 may further include a partial reflective element BS, which may be, for example, a partial reflective layer attached to or deposited on the second surface of the first lens E1'. The partial reflective layer has a semi-transmissive and semi-reflective effect on light. By providing a partial reflective layer on the second surface of the first lens and combining it with a reflective polarizing element and a quarter-wave plate, light can be reflected multiple times, thereby effectively reducing the overall length of the first optical system.
[0054] In an exemplary embodiment, the first optical system 100 may further include a first aperture stop STO1, which may be disposed, for example, between the first side and the first lens E1'.
[0055] In an exemplary embodiment, a display screen is provided on the image surface IMG. Image light from the display screen sequentially passes through the second lens E2' and the first lens E1', reaches the reflective polarizing element RP, is reflected at the reflective polarizing element RP, and then passes again through the quarter-wave plate QWP and the first lens E1' to reach the partial reflective element BS. Afterward, the light beam is reflected again at the partial reflective element BS and sequentially passes through the first lens E1', the quarter-wave plate QWP, and the reflective polarizing element RP to exit towards the human eye. The first optical system provided in this application folds the required optical path without affecting the projection quality by combining light reflection and refraction, effectively shortening the overall length of the first optical system.
[0056] In an exemplary embodiment, the second optical system 200 may include a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens arranged sequentially along a second optical axis from the object side to the image side. Air gaps may exist between adjacent lenses in the first to sixth lenses. In one example, the first and sixth lenses both have negative optical power, the second and fifth lenses both have positive optical power, and the third and fourth lenses have opposite signs of optical power.
[0057] The virtual display device 10 according to an exemplary embodiment of this application may include at least a first optical system 100 and a second optical system 200, wherein the first optical system 100 may be, for example, a folding eyepiece, and the second optical system 200 may be, for example, a video perspective lens, wherein the eyepiece provides a virtual experience, and the video perspective lens provides a real environment, thereby providing immersion while increasing boundaries and interactivity.
[0058] According to the exemplary embodiment of the virtual reality device 10 of this application, the first optical system 100 is used to transmit the virtual image of the display screen to the user's eyes, the second optical system 200 is used to image the real scene, and transmit the formed real image to the display screen of the first optical system 100 through the chip of the second optical system 200. The first optical system 100 then transmits the real image on the display screen to the user, so that the user can see the image after the virtual scene and the real scene are merged, thereby improving the visual immersion of the virtual reality device.
[0059] The virtual reality device 10 according to an exemplary embodiment of this application may include a VR device or a MR device.
[0060] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the virtual reality device includes a first optical system and a second optical system. The first optical system includes a first element group and a second element group sequentially from a first side to a second side along a first optical axis. The first element group has positive optical power and includes a reflective polarizing element, a quarter-wave plate, and a first lens. The second element group has positive or negative optical power and includes a second lens. The second optical system includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens sequentially from the object side to the image side along a second optical axis. The real image formed by the second optical system is transmitted in the form of an electrical signal. The virtual image is transmitted to the display screen in a certain way. The first optical system is used to project the virtual image on the display screen and transmit the real image to the display screen. The virtual reality device can satisfy the following conditions: -5<(R1B+R2B) / f1B<-1; 0.2<(R1A / fA) / ((R1B+R2B) / fB)<2.7, where R1A is the radius of curvature of the first surface of the first lens, fA is the effective focal length of the first optical system, fB is the effective focal length of the second optical system, R1B is the radius of curvature of the object side of the first lens, and R2B is the radius of curvature of the image side of the first lens. By controlling the radius of curvature and effective focal length of each lens in the second optical system, it is beneficial to increase the field of view of the video perspective lens. On this basis, the radius of curvature of the first lens of the eyepiece is further constrained, so that within a certain range, under the premise of converging light, the feasibility of forming is increased.
[0061] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, a virtual reality device includes a first optical system and a second optical system. The first optical system sequentially includes a first element group and a second element group along a first optical axis from a first side to a second side. Among them, the first element group has a positive optical power and includes a reflective polarizing element, a quarter-wave plate, and a first lens; the second element group has a positive or negative optical power and includes a second lens. The second optical system sequentially includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens along a second optical axis from an object side to an image side. Among them, the real image formed by the second optical system is transmitted to a display screen in the form of an electrical signal, and the first optical system is used to project a virtual image on the display screen and transmit the real image to the display screen. The virtual reality device can satisfy the following conditional expressions: -3 < f1B / fB < -1; 4.2 < (CT1A + CTR A + CTQ A) / ∑CTB < 5.2, where f1B is the effective focal length of the first lens, fB is the effective focal length of the second optical system, CT1A is the central thickness of the first lens on the first optical axis, CTR A is the central thickness of the reflective polarizing element on the first optical axis, CTQ A is the central thickness of the quarter-wave plate on the first optical axis, and ∑CTB is the sum of the central thicknesses of the first lens to the sixth lens in the second optical system on the second optical axis. On the basis of restricting the ratio of the effective focal length of the first lens of the second optical system to the effective focal length of the second optical system, the ratio of the sum of the central thickness and film thickness of the first lens in the first optical system to the sum of the central thicknesses of the lenses in the second system is further restricted, indirectly restricting the apertures and sizes of the lenses in the first optical system and the second optical system, thereby controlling the sizes of the screen and the chip in the two systems.
[0062] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality device can satisfy the conditional expression: 38 < FG1A / |f1B + f2B| < 49, where FG1A is the effective focal length of the first element group, f1B is the effective focal length of the first lens, and f2B is the effective focal length of the second lens. By controlling the ratio of the effective focal lengths of the first group of lenses in the first optical system to the first two groups of lenses in the second optical system, the effective focal length of the first group of lenses in the first optical system is made larger, restricting the curvature radius of the lenses, and ensuring the manufacturability of the first group of lenses with a large aperture.
[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality device can satisfy the following conditional expression: 16 < |FG2A| / (R12B - R11B) < 37, where FG2A is the effective focal length of the second element group, R11B is the curvature radius of the object side of the sixth lens, and R12B is the curvature radius of the image side of the sixth lens. By controlling the ratio of the effective focal length of the second element group in the first optical system to the curvature radius of the last sixth lens in the second optical system, the difference in the curvature radii of the two sides of the last lens in the second optical system is made smaller, which is beneficial to improving the related ghost images of the last lens.
[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality device may satisfy the following conditional formula: 7 < (T12A + CT2A) / (CT5B + T56B + CT6B) < 15, where T12A is the air gap between the second surface of the first lens and the first surface of the second lens on the first optical axis, CT2A is the central thickness of the second lens on the first optical axis, CT5B is the axial thickness of the fifth lens on the second optical axis, T56B is the air gap between the fifth lens and the sixth lens on the second optical axis, and CT6B is the central thickness of the sixth lens on the second optical axis. By controlling the ratio of the sum of the relevant air gaps and lens thicknesses in the latter half of the first optical system and the second optical system, while reducing the thickness of the second optical system, it is beneficial to the miniaturization design of the first optical system.
[0065] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality device may satisfy the following conditional formula: 0.8 < fA / |f4B + f5B + f6B| < 9, where fA is the effective focal length of the first optical system, f4B is the effective focal length of the fourth lens, f5B is the effective focal length of the fifth lens, and f6B is the effective focal length of the sixth lens. By controlling the ratio of the effective focal length of the first optical system to the sum of the effective focal lengths of the last three lenses in the second optical system, making the sum of the effective focal lengths of the last three lenses in the second optical system within a certain range, it is beneficial to the distribution of the optical power of the last three lenses, thereby correcting the system aberration.
[0066] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality device may satisfy the following conditional formula: 3 < (TDA * tan(FOVA / 2)) / (TDB * tan(FOVB / 2)) < 4.5, where TDA is the distance between the first surface of the first lens and the second surface of the second lens on the first optical axis, TDB is the distance between the object side surface of the first lens and the image side surface of the sixth lens on the second optical axis, FOVA is the maximum field angle of the first optical system, and FOVB is the maximum field angle of the second optical system. By controlling the ratio of the product of the mechanical lengths and field angles of the first optical system and the second optical system, on the premise of wide angles of the two systems, the mechanical lengths of the first optical system and the second optical system are constrained and their ratio is within a certain range, while meeting the miniaturization design, the optical performance is guaranteed.
[0067] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality device may satisfy the following conditional formula: -34 < (FG1A * EPDA) / (f1B * EPDB) < -31, where FG1A is the effective focal length of the first element group, EPDA is the entrance pupil diameter of the first optical system, f1B is the effective focal length of the first lens, and EPDB is the entrance pupil diameter of the second optical system. Considering the matching of the human eye pupil, by reasonably controlling this conditional formula, the focal length of the first lens of the first optical system is positive, and the focal length of the first lens of the second optical system is negative. On the one hand, it is beneficial to the light convergence of the first optical system, and on the other hand, it is beneficial to increasing the field angle of the second optical system.
[0068] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality device may satisfy the following conditional formula: 2 < (TDA / fA) * (TDB / fB) < 2.7, where TDA is the distance on the first optical axis from the first surface of the first lens to the second surface of the second lens, TDB is the distance on the second optical axis from the object side surface of the first lens to the image side surface of the sixth lens, fA is the effective focal length of the first optical system, and fB is the effective focal length of the second optical system. By controlling the product of the ratio of the mechanical length to the focal length of the first optical system and the second optical system to be greater than 2, considering the requirement of miniaturization of the folding eyepiece, TDA / fA is less than 1, and it is required that TDB / fB is greater than 1, which is beneficial to restricting the focal length of the second optical system and increasing the field range of the second optical system.
[0069] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality device may satisfy the following conditional formula: 0.8 < f234B / (CT2B + CT3B + CT4B) < 2.3, where f234B is the combined focal length of the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens, CT2B is the central thickness of the second lens on the second optical axis, CT3B is the central thickness of the third lens on the second optical axis, and CT4B is the central thickness of the fourth lens on the second optical axis. By controlling the ratio of the combined focal length of the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens of the second optical system to the combined central thickness, it is beneficial to the distribution of the optical powers of the three lenses. Combining the material distribution of the three lenses is beneficial to correcting the chromatic aberration of the system, thereby improving the system performance.
[0070] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality device may satisfy the following conditional formula: 2.5 < (T56B / T45B) / |f34B / f56B| < 17.5, where T56B is the air gap between the fifth lens and the sixth lens on the second optical axis, T45B is the air gap between the fourth lens and the fifth lens on the second optical axis, f34B is the combined focal length of the third lens and the third lens, and f56B is the combined focal length of the fifth lens and the sixth lens. By controlling the relationship between the lens thickness, air gap, and combined focal length of the second optical system, it is beneficial to restricting the bearing of the lens against the lens, thereby improving the assembly stability.
[0071] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality device can satisfy the following condition: -0.6 < (R4B / R3B)*(R6B / R5B) < -0.1, where R3B is the radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the second lens, R4B is the radius of curvature of the image-side surface of the second lens, R5B is the radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the third lens, and R6B is the radius of curvature of the image-side surface of the third lens. By controlling the radii of curvature of the second and third lenses, the shape of the lenses is constrained, which is beneficial for lens forming and for constraining the direction of light, thus helping to control the chief ray angle (CRA) of the system and match it with the chip.
[0072] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical powers of the first lens and the second lens in the second optical system have opposite signs; the optical powers of the third lens and the fourth lens have opposite signs; and the optical powers of the fifth lens and the sixth lens have opposite signs. By controlling the optical powers of different lenses in the second optical system, on the one hand, the wide-angle and small focal length characteristics of the second optical system are achieved through the combination of optical powers; on the other hand, the combination of positive and negative optical powers is beneficial for correcting system aberrations and improving image quality.
[0073] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality device of this application may include at least one aperture stop. The aperture stop can constrain the optical path and control the light intensity. The aperture stop may be positioned appropriately in a first optical system or a second optical system. In one example, a first aperture stop may be included, which may be located between a first side (eye side) of the first optical system and a first element group. In another example, a second aperture stop may also be included, which may be located between a first lens and a second lens of the second optical system.
[0074] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality device of this application may optionally include protective glass for protecting the photosensitive element located on the imaging surface.
[0075] In an exemplary embodiment, the effective focal length fA of the first optical system may be, for example, in the range of 25.20 mm to 25.22 mm, the effective focal length FG1A of the first element group may be, for example, in the range of 25.65 mm to 26.46 mm, and the effective focal length FG2A of the second element group may be, for example, in the range of -148.47 mm to 161.02 mm.
