Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of optical devices, and more specifically to a virtual reality device. Background Technology

[0002] Virtual reality devices typically include two types of optical systems: visual systems and positioning systems. The visual system immerses the user in the virtual world, while the positioning system captures images of the surrounding environment or the user's posture.

By controlling the relationship between the aperture number of the positioning system, the curvature radii of the object side and image side of the eighth lens, and the refractive index of the eighth lens, it is beneficial to constrain the shape of the eighth lens, thereby increasing the light flux of the positioning system while ensuring light convergence. At the same time, rationally constraining the ratio of the aperture numbers of the visual system and the positioning system can make the aperture number of the visual system greater than that of the positioning system, thereby further increasing the light flux of the positioning system while ensuring the brightness of the image formed by the visual system, which helps the positioning system to locate in dark environments.

[0037] To better understand this application, various aspects of this application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these detailed descriptions are merely illustrative of exemplary embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application in any way. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements.

Therefore, without departing from the teachings of this application, the first lens discussed below may also be referred to as the second lens or the third lens.

It should also be understood that terms (e.g., those defined in common dictionaries) shall be interpreted as having the meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and shall not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formalized sense, unless expressly so specified herein.

[0043] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0044] The features, principles and other aspects of this application are described in detail below.

[0045] refer to Figure 1 The first aspect of this application provides a virtual reality device that may include a viewing system and a positioning system. The positioning system is used to capture images from the surrounding environment or the user's pose. The viewing system dynamically adjusts and projects a virtual image from a transmitter based on the positioning results obtained from the images from the surrounding environment or the user's pose. The number of viewing systems and positioning systems may be one or more. In one example, the virtual reality device may include two symmetrically arranged viewing systems. It should be understood that the virtual reality device provided in this application may also include any optical system other than the viewing system and the positioning system.

[0046] The positioning system in this application collects images from the surrounding environment or the user's pose. This collected imagery or pose is transmitted to a processing system via the positioning system's chip. The processing system analyzes the imagery or pose and determines the information required for the visual system to display based on the analysis results. This information is then transmitted to the visual system. The visual system dynamically adjusts the virtual image emitted by the transmitter based on the received information and ultimately projects the virtual image onto a receiver, such as the user's eyes, to create an immersive experience. The virtual reality device provided in this application combines the virtual immersion of a visual system with the positioning function of a positioning system, breaking through the spatial limitations of virtual reality devices and enabling interaction between the real and virtual worlds.

[0047] In an exemplary implementation, reference Figure 2The visual system may include a first lens, a second lens, and a third lens arranged sequentially from a first side to a second side along a first optical axis. An air gap may exist between adjacent lenses in the first to third lenses. As an example, the first and third lenses have positive optical power, and the second lens has negative optical power.

[0048] In an exemplary implementation, reference Figure 2 The visual system may also include a reflective polarizing element and a quarter-wave plate. The reflective polarizing element and the quarter-wave plate are bonded together to form a film layer, which is then attached to the second side of the second lens. The reflective polarizing element is positioned closer to the second lens than the quarter-wave plate. By combining the reflective polarizing element and the quarter-wave plate to form a single film layer, the number of bonding surfaces can be reduced, improving the bonding yield. In other examples, the visual system may also include a partially reflective layer attached to the second side of the third lens, where the partially reflective layer exhibits semi-transmissive and semi-reflective properties. By providing a partially reflective layer on the second side of the third lens and combining it with the reflective polarizing element and the quarter-wave plate, light can be refracted multiple times, effectively reducing the overall length of the visual system.

[0049] In an exemplary embodiment, the first side can be the receiving side, and the second side can be the transmitting side. Accordingly, the first side of each element (first lens, second lens, third lens) can be referred to as the side near the receiving part, and the second side can be referred to as the side near the transmitting part.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, the visual system may further include a first aperture stop, which may be disposed, for example, between the first side and the first lens. The image light from the emitting unit is finally projected onto the receiving unit after multiple refractions and reflections through the third lens, quarter-wave plate, reflective polarizing element, second lens, and first lens.

[0051] In an exemplary embodiment, image light from the transmitting unit sequentially passes through the third lens and the quarter-wave plate, reaches the reflective polarizing element, and is then reflected at the reflective polarizing element to form the first reflected image light. The first reflected image light passes through the quarter-wave plate and reaches the partial reflective layer on the second side of the third lens, and is then reflected at the partial reflective layer to form the second reflected image light. The second reflected image light sequentially passes through the third lens, the quarter-wave plate, the reflective polarizing element, the second lens, the first lens to the first aperture, and is finally projected onto the receiving unit. The visual system provided in this application effectively shortens the body length of the visual system by folding the required optical path through a combination of light reflection and refraction without affecting the projection quality.

[0052] In an exemplary implementation, reference Figure 3, the positioning system may include a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, and an eighth lens arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side along the second optical axis. There may be an air gap between adjacent two of the first lens to the eighth lens. The second aperture stop may be disposed between the third lens and the fourth lens. As an example, the first lens and the second lens have negative optical powers.

[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, the f-number Fno' of the visual system, the effective focal length f2' of the second lens, the radius of curvature R3' of the first side of the second lens, and the radius of curvature R5' of the first side of the third lens may satisfy: 1.0 < (R5' - R3') × Fno' / f2' < 5.5. The f-number Fno of the positioning system, the radius of curvature R15 of the object side of the eighth lens, the radius of curvature R16 of the image side of the eighth lens, and the refractive index N8 of the eighth lens may satisfy: 0.5 ≤ R15 × N8 / (Fno × R16) < 1.0, and the f-number Fno' of the visual system and the f-number Fno of the positioning system may satisfy: 2.0 < Fno' / Fno < 5.0. By controlling the relationship between the f-number of the visual system, the effective focal length of the second lens, and the radii of curvature of the first sides of the second lens and the third lens, it is beneficial to reasonably distribute the optical powers of the lenses, increase the light flux of the visual system, and thus improve the brightness of the image formed by the visual system; by the relationship between the f-number of the positioning system, the radii of curvature of the object side and the image side of the eighth lens, and the refractive index of the eighth lens, it is beneficial to constrain the shape of the eighth lens and improve the light flux of the positioning system on the premise of ensuring light convergence; at the same time, reasonably constraining the ratio of the f-numbers of the visual system and the positioning system can make the f-number of the visual system greater than that of the positioning system, further improve the light flux of the positioning system while ensuring the brightness of the image formed by the visual system, and contribute to the positioning of the positioning system in a dark environment.

[0054] In an exemplary embodiment, the effective focal length f1' of the first lens, the refractive index N1' of the first lens, the radius of curvature R1' of the first side of the first lens, and half of the maximum field angle Semi-FOV' of the visual system may satisfy: 0 < f1' × N1' / R1' × TAN(Semi-FOV') < 2.5. By controlling the relationship between the effective focal length of the first lens, the refractive index of the first lens, the radius of curvature of the first side of the first lens, and half of the maximum field angle of the visual system, the shape of the first lens can be constrained on the premise of ensuring light convergence, thereby increasing the field angle of the visual system.

[0055] In an exemplary embodiment, the radius of curvature R1' of the first side surface of the first lens, the radius of curvature R3' of the first side surface of the second lens, the air gap T12' between the first lens and the second lens on the first optical axis, the refractive index N1' of the first lens, and the central thickness CT1' of the first lens on the first optical axis may satisfy: 1 mm < (R1' + R3') × T12' / (CT1' × N1') < 5.5 mm. By controlling the mutual relationship among the radius of curvature of the first side surfaces of the first lens and the second lens, the air gap between the first lens and the second lens on the first optical axis, the refractive index of the first lens, and the central thickness of the first lens on the first optical axis, it is beneficial to constrain the shapes of the first lens and the second lens, ensure the uniformity and formability of the first lens and the second lens, and at the same time enable the arrangement of the first lens and the second lens to be more compact, ensuring the miniaturization of the virtual reality device.

[0056] In an exemplary embodiment, the effective focal length f1' of the first lens, the Abbe number V1' of the first lens, the effective focal length f2' of the second lens, and the Abbe number V2' of the second lens may satisfy: -2.5 < f1' × V1' / (f2' × V2') < -2.0. By controlling the effective focal lengths of the first lens and the second lens, the optical powers of the first lens and the second lens can be reasonably allocated, which is beneficial to achieving the convergence of light rays. At the same time, reasonably constraining the Abbe numbers of the first lens and the second lens is beneficial to reducing the chromatic aberration of the visual system, thereby improving the imaging quality of the visual system.

[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, the radius of curvature R1' of the first side surface of the first lens, the radius of curvature R3' of the first side surface of the second lens, the radius of curvature R5' of the first side surface of the third lens, and the radius of curvature R6' of the second side surface of the third lens may satisfy: -2.0 < R5' / R1' + R3' / R6' < -1.0. By controlling the mutual relationship among the radius of curvature of the first side surfaces of the first lens and the second lens and the radius of curvature of the first side surface and the second side surface of the third lens, the optical powers of the lenses in the visual system can be reasonably allocated, the direction of light rays can be constrained, which is beneficial to achieving the convergence of off-axis field light rays, thereby improving the performance and imaging quality of the visual system.

[0058] In an exemplary embodiment, the central thickness CT2' of the second lens on the first optical axis, the central thickness CT3' of the third lens on the first optical axis, the air gap T23' between the second lens and the third lens on the first optical axis, and the central thickness dRP of the reflective polarizing element on the first optical axis may satisfy: 2.0 < (CT2' + CT3') / (T23' + dRP) < 4.0. By controlling the mutual relationship among the central thicknesses of the second lens, the third lens, and the reflective polarizing element and the air gap between the second lens and the third lens, it is beneficial to the shaping and processing of the second lens, the third lens, and the reflective polarizing element, and is also beneficial to the attachment of the reflective polarizing element.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, the effective focal length f2 of the second lens, the radius of curvature R4 of the image side surface of the second lens, the central thickness CT2 of the second lens on the second optical axis, and the refractive index N2 of the second lens may satisfy: -0.5 mm < R4 × CT2 / (f2 × N2) < 0 mm. By controlling the mutual relationship among the effective focal length of the second lens, the radius of curvature of the image side surface of the second lens, the central thickness of the second lens on the second optical axis, and the refractive index of the second lens, it is beneficial to control the shape of the second lens, ensure the formability of the second lens, and at the same time, the optical power of the second lens can be negative, increasing the field angle of the positioning system. In addition, an appropriate refractive index is beneficial to reducing the chromatic aberration of the positioning system.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, the effective focal length f4 of the fourth lens, the radius of curvature R8 of the image side surface of the fourth lens, the effective focal length f7 of the seventh lens, and the radius of curvature R13 of the object side surface of the seventh lens may satisfy: -0.5 < R8 × R13 / (f4 × f7) < 0. By controlling the mutual relationship among the effective focal lengths of the fourth lens and the seventh lens, the radius of curvature of the image side surface of the fourth lens, and the radius of curvature of the object side surface of the seventh lens, it is beneficial to reasonably distribute the optical powers of the fourth lens and the seventh lens, and make the optical powers of both the fourth lens and the seventh lens positive. The negative spherical aberration generated by these two lenses can balance the positive spherical aberration generated by other lenses in the positioning system, improving the imaging quality of the positioning system.

[0061] In an exemplary embodiment, the refractive index N4 of the fourth lens, the central thickness CT4 of the fourth lens on the second optical axis, and the air gap T45 between the fourth lens and the fifth lens on the second optical axis may satisfy: 20 < CT4 × N4 / T45 < 120. By controlling the mutual relationship among the refractive index of the fourth lens, the central thickness of the fourth lens on the second optical axis, and the air gap between the fourth lens and the fifth lens on the second optical axis, it is beneficial to the shaping of the fourth lens and the fifth lens, and is also beneficial to restricting the optical powers of the fourth lens and the fifth lens, achieving the convergence of marginal field light rays, correcting the aberration of the positioning system, and thus improving the imaging quality of the positioning system.

[0062] In an exemplary embodiment, the effective focal length f1 of the first lens, the radius of curvature R1 of the object side surface of the first lens, the effective focal length f2 of the second lens, and the radius of curvature R4 of the image side surface of the second lens may satisfy: -2.0 < (f1 + f2) / (R1 - R4) < -1. By controlling the interrelationship among the effective focal lengths of the first lens and the second lens, the radius of curvature of the object side surface of the first lens, and the radius of curvature of the image side surface of the second lens, the optical powers of the first lens and the second lens can be reasonably distributed, and the optical powers of both the first lens and the second lens are negative, which is beneficial to increasing the field angle of the positioning system, thereby expanding the positioning range of the positioning system.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, the total effective focal length f of the positioning system, the effective focal length f3 of the third lens, the refractive index N3 of the third lens, the effective focal length f5 of the fifth lens, and the refractive index N5 of the fifth lens may satisfy: 8.5 < f3×N3 / f + f5×N5 / f < 13. By controlling the interrelationship among the total effective focal length of the positioning system, the effective focal lengths of the third lens and the fifth lens, and the refractive indices of the third lens and the fifth lens, the optical powers of the third lens and the fifth lens can be reasonably distributed, which is beneficial to correcting the aberration of the positioning system. At the same time, the height of the light rays can be restricted, so that the outgoing light rays meet the requirements of the Chief Ray Angle (CRA) of the system.

[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, the central thickness CT2 of the second lens on the second optical axis, the central thickness CT3 of the third lens on the second optical axis, and the central thickness CT4 of the fourth lens on the second optical axis may satisfy: 2.0 < (CT2 + CT4) / CT3 < 3.5. By controlling the central thicknesses of the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens, the shapes of these three lenses can be restricted, thereby ensuring the uniformity and processability of these three lenses, which is beneficial to the shaping of these three lenses.

[0065] The virtual reality device according to the above embodiment of the present application consists of a visual system and a positioning system. Among them, the visual system may adopt multiple lenses, such as the three lenses described above, and the positioning system may adopt multiple lenses, such as the eight lenses described above. By reasonably configuring the parameters of the visual system and the positioning system, the imaging quality and visual immersion of the virtual reality device can be improved. And the virtual reality device configured as above has characteristics such as miniaturization and good imaging quality, and can well meet the usage requirements of various portable electronic products in the projection scenario.

[0066] In embodiments of this application, at least one surface of each of the first to third lenses is an aspherical surface. An aspherical lens is characterized by a continuously changing curvature from its center to its periphery. Unlike a spherical lens, which has a constant curvature from its center to its periphery, an aspherical lens has superior curvature radius characteristics, offering advantages in improving distortion and astigmatism. By using an aspherical lens, aberrations occurring during imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, thereby improving image quality. Similarly, at least one surface of each of the first to eighth lenses is an aspherical surface.

[0067] However, those skilled in the art should understand that, without departing from the technical solutions claimed in this application, the number of lenses and / or mirrors can be changed to obtain the various results and advantages described in this specification.

[0068] Specific embodiments of the visual system applicable to the above-described embodiments are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0069] Example 1

[0070] The following is for reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 A visual system according to Embodiment 1 of this application is described.

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, the visual system 110 may include a first lens E1', a second lens E2', and a third lens E3' arranged sequentially from the first side to the second side along a first optical axis. A first aperture stop STO' is disposed between the first side and the first lens E1'. The visual system 110 may also include a reflective polarizing element RP, a quarter-wave plate QWP, and a partial reflective layer BS. In this embodiment, the first side refers to the receiving side, and the second side refers to the emitting side. The first side surface of each element (e.g., the first lens E1', the second lens E2', and the third lens E3') is referred to as the near-receiving side surface, and the second side surface is referred to as the near-emitting side surface.

[0072] The first lens E1' has positive optical power, with its receiving side S1' being convex and its emitting side S2' being concave. The second lens E2' has negative optical power, with its receiving side S3' being concave and its emitting side S4' being convex. The third lens E3' has positive optical power, with its receiving side S5' being concave and its emitting side S6' being convex. The reflective polarizing element RP and the quarter-wave plate QWP are both attached to the emitting side S4' of the second lens E2', with the reflective polarizing element RP being closer to the second lens E2' than the quarter-wave plate QWP. A portion of the reflective layer BS can be attached to the emitting side S6' of the third lens E3'.

[0073] In this example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the image light from the transmitting unit sequentially passes through the third lens E3', the quarter-wave plate QWP, and reaches the reflective polarizing element RP, where it undergoes a first reflection. The light after the first reflection passes through the quarter-wave plate QWP and reaches the partial reflective layer BS on the second side of the third lens E3', where it undergoes a second reflection. The light after the second reflection sequentially passes through the third lens E3', the quarter-wave plate QWP, the reflective polarizing element RP, the second lens E2', and the first lens E1', and is finally projected onto the receiving unit. For example, the light from this visual system 110, after two reflections, is finally projected onto the receiving unit.

[0074] Table 1 shows the basic parameters of the visual system in Embodiment 1, where the units for radius of curvature and thickness / distance are millimeters (mm). Image light from the emitting unit passes through each element in the order of number 15 to number 1 and is finally projected into the receiving unit.

[0078] In this embodiment, the near-receiving and near-emitting sides of the first lens E1' to the third lens E3' are both aspherical. The surface shape x of each aspherical lens can be defined using, but is not limited to, the following aspherical formula:

[0079]

[0080] Where x is the distance vector from the vertex of the aspherical surface at a height h along the optical axis; c is the paraxial curvature of the aspherical surface, c = 1 / R' (i.e., the paraxial curvature c is the reciprocal of the radius of curvature R' in Table 1 above); k is the conic coefficient; Ai is the i-th order correction coefficient of the aspherical surface. Table 2 gives the conic coefficient k and the higher-order coefficients A4, A6, A8 and A6 that can be used for each aspherical surface S1'-S6' in Example 1. 10 .
