The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0043] The features, principles and other aspects of this application are described in detail below.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 2B As shown, a virtual reality device 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of this application may include a first optical system 110 and a second optical system 120. Exemplarily, the virtual reality device 100 may include two first optical systems 110 and one second optical system 120, wherein the two first optical systems 110 may correspond to the user's left and right eyes, respectively. Exemplarily, as... Figure 1 As shown, the virtual reality device 100 may also include other optical systems, such as an optical system 130 for interacting with reality. It should be understood that this application only exemplifies the number of optical systems in the virtual reality device 100 and does not specifically limit the number of optical systems in the virtual reality device 100.

[0045] The second optical system 120 can capture the user's limb position and movements to form a real image on the imaging surface, wherein the real image formed by the second optical system 120 is transmitted to the display screen in the form of an electrical signal. The image surface of the first optical system 110 can be located on the display screen. The first optical system 110 can be used to project virtual images on the display screen and real images transmitted to the display screen. Specifically, the first optical system 110 can project virtual images on the display screen, such as projecting them into the user's eyes, to enhance the user's sense of immersion. The real image formed by the second optical system 120 can pass through the first optical system 110 through the display screen and be projected out, such as projecting them into the user's eyes, ultimately enabling the user to see a picture that combines virtual and real elements. The virtual reality device 100 provided in this application, by combining the first and second optical systems, can bring the position and movements of limbs in the real world into the virtual world, thereby realizing the interaction between the virtual and real worlds.

[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, the first optical system includes, sequentially from the human eye side to the image side along a first optical axis, a reflective polarizing element, a quarter-wave plate, a first lens, and a second lens. The reflective polarizing element can be attached to the side of the quarter-wave plate closest to the human eye. The quarter-wave plate can be attached to the side of the first lens closest to the human eye. 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 refraction, which is beneficial for shortening the length of the first optical system.

[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, the first optical system further includes a partially reflective element, which may be attached to the near-image side of the first lens, the near-eye side of the second lens, or the near-image side of the second lens. The partially reflective element is, for example, but not limited to, a semi-transparent, semi-reflective film layer, which may be configured to allow a portion of light to pass through while another portion is reflected.

[0048] In an exemplary embodiment, the first optical system according to this application further includes an aperture stop disposed on the side of the user's eye. The user's eye can view the image projected from the image surface at the position of the aperture stop; that is, the image light on the image surface is finally projected to the user's eye after multiple refractions and reflections through the second lens, the first lens, the quarter-wave plate, and the reflective polarizing element. By reasonably arranging the reflective polarizing element, the quarter-wave plate, the partially reflective element, and multiple lenses such as the first lens and the second lens, this application can reduce the length of the lens group required for projection of the first optical system without affecting the projection quality by utilizing light reflection and / or refraction.

[0049] In an exemplary embodiment, the second optical system includes six lenses with optical power: a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens. These six lenses are arranged sequentially along the second optical axis from the object side to the image side. Any two adjacent lenses from the first to the sixth lens may have a gap between them.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, the first lens may have positive or negative optical power; the second lens may have positive or negative optical power; exemplaryly, the combination of the reflective polarizing element, the quarter-wave plate, and the first lens has positive optical power. The first lens may have negative optical power; the second lens may have positive optical power; the third lens may have positive or negative optical power; the fourth lens may have positive or negative optical power; the fifth lens may have positive optical power; and the sixth lens may have negative optical power.

[0051] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality device according to this application can satisfy 6<(fA×tan(FOVA / 2)) / (fB×tan(FOVB / 2))<8, where fA is the effective focal length of the first optical system, fB is the effective focal length of the second optical system, FOVA is the maximum field of view of the first optical system, and FOVB is the maximum field of view of the second optical system.

[0052] 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, along a first optical axis from the eye side to the image side, sequentially includes a reflective polarizing element, a quarter-wave plate, a first lens, and a second lens, wherein the combination of the reflective polarizing element, the quarter-wave plate, and the first lens has positive optical power, and the second lens has either positive or negative optical power. The second optical system, along a second optical axis from the object side to the image side, sequentially includes a first lens with negative optical power, a second lens with positive optical power, a third lens with either positive or negative optical power, a fourth lens with either positive or negative optical power, and a fifth lens with positive optical power. The system comprises a first optical system and a second optical system, and a third optical system and a fourth optical system. The second optical system projects a virtual image onto the display screen and transmits the real image onto the display screen. The virtual reality device satisfies the condition: 6 < (fA × tan(FOVA / 2)) / (fB × tan(FOVB / 2)) < 8, where fA is the effective focal length of the first optical system, fB is the effective focal length of the second optical system, FOVA is the maximum field of view of the first optical system, and FOVB is the maximum field of view of the second optical system. By rationally setting the architecture of the first and second optical systems and setting the optical powers and optical parameters 6 < (fA × tan(FOVA / 2)) / (fB × tan(FOVB / 2)) < 8 for each lens, the relationship between the screen size of the first optical system and the chip size of the second optical system can be reasonably adjusted. This is beneficial for further improving the field of view of the first optical system to enhance the immersive experience while ensuring image conversion between the two optical systems, and for making the overall size of the second optical system smaller while meeting design specifications, which is beneficial for overall device layout. This application combines a first optical system and a second optical system to bring the position and movement of limbs in the real world into the virtual world, thereby realizing the interaction between the virtual world and the real world.

[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality device according to this application can satisfy: -1.8 < (FG1A / fA) × (f1B / fB) < -1.2, where FG1A is the combined focal length of the reflective polarizing element, the quarter-wave plate and the first lens, fA is the effective focal length of the first optical system, f1B is the effective focal length of the first lens and fB is the effective focal length of the second optical system.

[0054] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the virtual reality device includes a first optical system and a second optical system. The first optical system sequentially includes a reflective polarizing element, a quarter-wave plate, a first lens, and a second lens along the first optical axis from the human eye side to the image side. Among them, the combination of the reflective polarizing element, the quarter-wave plate, and the first lens has a positive optical power, and the second lens has a positive optical power or a negative optical power; and the second optical system sequentially includes a first lens with a negative optical power, a second lens with a positive optical power, a third lens with a positive optical power or a negative optical power, a fourth lens with a positive optical power or a negative optical power, a fifth lens with a positive optical power, and a sixth lens with a negative optical power along the second optical axis from the object side to the image side; wherein, the real image formed by the second optical system is transmitted to the display screen in the form of an electrical signal, and the first optical system is used to project the virtual image on the display screen and the real image transmitted to the display screen. The virtual reality device satisfies: -1.8 < (FG1A / fA) × (f1B / fB) < -1.2, where FG1A is the combined focal length of the reflective polarizing element, the quarter-wave plate, and the first lens, fA is the effective focal length of the first optical system, f1B is the effective focal length of the first lens, and fB is the effective focal length of the second optical system. By reasonably setting the architectures of the first optical system and the second optical system, and setting the optical powers and optical technical parameters of each lens and lens -1.8 < (FG1A / fA) × (f1B / fB) < -1.2, it is beneficial to control the optical power distribution of the lenses and lenses in the first optical system and the second optical system, so as to flexibly perform aberration compensation, and is beneficial to limit the ray height on the basis of ensuring a large field of view of the system, indirectly control the screen and chip sizes, and is beneficial to the overall miniaturization design of the device.

[0055] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality device according to the present application may satisfy: -15 < R2A / (R1B + R2B) < -3.5, where R2A is the curvature radius of the near image side surface of the first lens, R1B is the curvature radius of the object side surface of the first lens, and R2B is the curvature radius of the image side surface of the first lens. Satisfying -15 < R2A / (R1B + R2B) < -3.5 is beneficial to expanding the field of view on the one hand; on the other hand, it can control the light rays in the peripheral field of view, reduce the vignetting in the peripheral field of view, and is beneficial to increasing the light intensity in the peripheral field of view.

[0056] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality device according to the present application may satisfy: 7.5 < (CT1A + CT2A) / ∑CTB < 8.5, where CT1A is the central thickness of the first lens on the first optical axis, CT2A is the central thickness of the second lens on the first optical axis, T12A is the air gap between the first lens and the second lens on the first optical axis, and ∑CTB is the sum of the central thicknesses of the first lens to the sixth lens on the second optical axis. Satisfying 7.5 < (CT1A + CT2A) / ∑CTB < 8.5 is conducive to making the optical system compact while ensuring the molding of the lens by controlling the central thicknesses of the first lens and the second lens on the first optical axis in the first optical system and the sum of the central thicknesses of the first lens to the sixth lens on the second optical axis in the second optical system, thereby controlling the length of the optical system and meeting the requirement of thinning the virtual device.

[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality device according to the present application may satisfy: 2.5 < (CT1A + CTR A + CTQ A) / TDB < 3.5, where 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 TDB is the distance from the object side of the first lens to the image side of the sixth lens on the second optical axis. Satisfying 2.5 < (CT1A + CTR A + CTQ A) / TDB < 3.5 further compresses the height of the virtual reality device on the basis of indirectly controlling the total optical length of the first optical system and the second optical system, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the virtual reality device.

[0058] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality device according to the present application may satisfy: 3 < FG1A / |f1B + f2B + f3B| < 7, where FG1A is the combined focal length of the reflective polarizing element, the quarter-wave plate and the first lens, f1B is the effective focal length of the first lens, f2B is the effective focal length of the second lens, and f3B is the effective focal length of the third lens. Satisfying 3 < FG1A / |f1B + f2B + f3B| < 7 reasonably balances the refractive power of the first optical system and the second optical system and the optical power of the second optical system by controlling the ratio of the combined focal length of the reflective polarizing element, the quarter-wave plate and the first lens in the first optical system to the sum of the effective focal lengths of the first lens, the second lens and the third lens in the second optical system, which is conducive to controlling the image conversion and field-of-view connection between the two optical systems.

Satisfying 5.3 < CT2A / (R11B + R12B) < 11.3, on the one hand, it is beneficial for the shaping of the lenses in the two optical systems, and on the other hand, it can effectively control the refraction angle of the light beam, thus meeting the CRA requirements of the two optical systems.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality device according to the present application may satisfy: 0.9 < fA / (CTRA + CTQA + TDA) < 1.3, where fA is the effective focal length of the first optical system, CTRA is the central thickness of the reflective polarizing element on the first optical axis, CTQA is the central thickness of the quarter-wave plate on the first optical axis, and TDA is the distance on the first optical axis from the near-eye side of the first lens to the near-image side of the second lens. Satisfying 0.9 < fA / (CTRA + CTQA + TDA) < 1.3, by controlling the ratio of the effective focal length of the first optical system to the sum of the central thicknesses of the reflective polarizing element, the quarter-wave plate, and the distance on the first optical axis from the near-eye side of the first lens to the near-image side of the second lens, it is beneficial to meet the design requirements of the short focal length and wide angle of the first optical system, and ensure the thickness of the polarizing element, which is beneficial for actual processing and film layer attachment.

[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality device according to the present application may satisfy: 2.7 mm < (T12B + T56B) × tan(FOVB / 2) < 3.7 mm, where T12B is the air gap between the first lens and the second 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 FOVB is the maximum field of view angle of the second optical system. Satisfying 2.7 mm < (T12B + T56B) × tan(FOVB / 2) < 3.7 mm, by controlling the product of the air gaps between the first lens and the second lens and between the fifth lens and the sixth lens in the second optical system and the maximum half field of view angle of the second optical system, the second optical system can obtain a larger field of view while avoiding assembly interference.

This application controls the shape of the first lens so that its object-side surface is convex and its image-side surface is concave, and its optical power is negative, which helps to increase the field of view. The object-side surface and image-side surface of the second lens are both convex, making its optical power positive, which can effectively converge light and reduce the boundary effect of the virtual reality device. Simultaneously, controlling the sides of the sixth lens to be concave further increases the field of view.

[0067] In an exemplary embodiment, the second optical system according to this application may further include a filter for correcting color deviation and / or a protective glass for protecting the photosensitive element located on the image side. The second optical system according to the above embodiments of this application may employ multiple lenses, such as the six lenses mentioned above. By rationally allocating the structure of each lens and the on-axis spacing between them, the size of the second optical system can be effectively reduced and its manufacturability improved, making the second optical system more conducive to manufacturing and suitable for portable electronic products.

[0068] In embodiments of this application, at least one of the mirror surfaces of each lens and / or lens is an aspherical mirror surface. That is, at least one mirror surface from the near-eye side of the first lens to the near-image side of the second lens is an aspherical mirror surface, and at least one mirror surface from the object side of the first lens to the image side of the sixth lens is an aspherical mirror surface. The characteristic of aspherical lenses and / or lenses is that the curvature changes continuously from the center to the periphery of the lens and / or lens. Unlike spherical lenses and / or lenses, which have a constant curvature from the center to the periphery, aspherical lenses and / or lenses have better radius of curvature characteristics, offering advantages in improving distortion aberrations and astigmatism. By using aspherical lenses and / or lenses, aberrations occurring during imaging or projection can be eliminated as much as possible, thereby improving imaging or projection quality. Optionally, at least one of the near-eye side and near-image side of the first and second lenses is an aspherical mirror, and the object side and image side of each of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth lenses are aspherical mirrors.

[0069] However, those skilled in the art will understand that, without departing from the technical solutions claimed in this application, the number of lenses constituting the first optical system and the number of lenses constituting the second optical system can be changed to obtain the various results and advantages described in this specification. For example, although the embodiments are described with the first optical system comprising two lenses and the second optical system comprising six lenses as examples, the first optical system is not limited to comprising two lenses and the second optical system is not limited to comprising six lenses. If necessary, the first optical system and / or the second optical system may also include other numbers of lenses.

The second lens L2 has a convex surface on the side closest to the human eye and a concave surface on the side closest to the image. A reflective polarizing element RP is attached to the side closest to the human eye of a quarter-wave plate QWP. The quarter-wave plate QWP is attached to the side closest to the human eye of the first lens L1. A partially reflective element BS is attached to the side closest to the image of the first lens L1.

[0075] In this example, image light from the image plane IMG sequentially passes through the second lens L2, the first lens L1, the quarter-wave plate QWP, and reaches the reflective polarizer RP, where it undergoes a first reflection. The light after the first reflection passes through the quarter-wave plate QWP, the first lens L1, and reaches the partial reflective element BS on the near-image side of the first lens L1, where it undergoes a second reflection. The light after the second reflection sequentially passes through the first lens L1, the quarter-wave plate QWP, the reflective polarizer RP, and the aperture stop STO, and is finally projected onto a target object (not shown) in space. For example, when this virtual reality device is mounted on an electronic device such as VR, the light after the two reflections is ultimately projected into the eyes of the user.

[0076] Table 1 shows the basic parameters of the first optical system of Embodiment 1, where the units for radius of curvature and thickness / distance are millimeters (mm). Image light from the image plane IMG passes through the components in the order of number 14 to number 1 and is finally projected onto the target object in space, such as the human eye.
