DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0035] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs.
[0036] In the present application, the orientation words such as "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom" are generally directed to the directions shown in the drawings, or are directed to the vertical, perpendicular or gravity directions of the components themselves, unless otherwise specified. Similarly, for the convenience of understanding and description, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer relative to the contour of the components themselves, but the above orientation words are not used to limit the present application.
[0037] It should be noted that the terms first, second, third, etc. in the present description are only used to distinguish one feature from another, and do not represent any limitation on the features. Therefore, the first lens discussed below can also be referred to as the second lens or the third lens without departing from the teachings of the present application.
[0038] In the drawings, the thickness, size and shape of the lenses have been slightly exaggerated for the convenience of illustration. Specifically, the shape of the spherical or aspherical surface shown in the drawings is shown by way of example. That is, the shape of the spherical or aspherical surface is not limited to the shape of the spherical or aspherical surface shown in the drawings. The drawings are merely examples and are not strictly drawn to scale.
[0039] In this context, the paraxial region refers to the region near the optical axis. If the lens surface is convex and the position of the convex surface is not specified, it means that the lens surface is convex at least in the paraxial region; if the lens surface is concave and the position of the concave surface is not specified, it means that the lens surface is concave at least in the paraxial region. The surface of each lens near the object side is the object side surface of the lens, and the surface of each lens near the image side is the image side surface of the lens. The judgment of the surface shape in the paraxial region can be based on the judgment method of those skilled in the art, with the R value (R refers to the radius of curvature in the paraxial region, usually refers to the R value on the lens data in the optical software) positive or negative to judge the convexity or concavity. In terms of the object side surface, when the R value is positive, it is determined to be convex, and when the R value is negative, it is determined to be concave; in terms of the image side surface, when the R value is positive, it is determined to be concave, and when the R value is negative, it is determined to be convex.
[0040] In order to solve the problem that the existing projection system cannot simultaneously achieve miniaturization and high-definition projection, the present application provides a projection system and an AR projection device.
[0041] As Figures 1 to 21As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present application, the projection system comprises a diaphragm, a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens and an imaging module, the projection system has a first optical axis and a second optical axis perpendicular to each other, the diaphragm, the first lens and the fourth lens are sequentially arranged along the first optical axis, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens and the imaging module are sequentially arranged along the second optical axis, the fourth lens is a polarization beam splitter, the first optical axis and the second optical axis intersect in the polarization beam splitter; wherein the first lens has positive refractive power, the object side of the first lens is convex; the second lens has refractive power, the object side of the second lens is convex; the third lens has refractive power, the object side of the third lens is cemented with the image side of the second lens; the fifth lens has positive refractive power; along the second optical axis, the optical total length TTL from the object side of the second lens to the image, the system focal length f of the projection system, the effective maximum field angle FOV of the projection system and the aperture value FNO of the projection system satisfy: 1.60 < TTL / (f*FNO*tan(FOV)) < 1.75.
[0042] The projection system of the present application reasonably arranges the positional relationship of each lens, constrains the refractive power and surface shape of each lens, constrains the condition formula between the optical total length TTL from the object side of the second lens to the image, the system focal length f of the projection system, the effective maximum field angle FOV of the projection system and the aperture value FNO of the projection system: 1.60 < TTL / (f*FNO*tan(FOV)) < 1.75, which is beneficial to make the main parameters of the projection system meet the target value, take into account the system length size, keep the optical performance and overall size in a relatively balanced state, ensure miniaturization and high-definition display, and also be beneficial to maintain the projection system in a high-performance state with good optical element processing size and low process assembly difficulty, greatly improve the production efficiency.
[0043] In addition, the first optical axis is perpendicular to the diaphragm, and the second optical axis is perpendicular to the imaging module. The imaging module comprises at least one protective glass for protecting the image plane. The first lens receives the polarized light reflected by the fourth lens and converges the light out of the diaphragm. The converging effect of the first lens helps the fourth lens to have a smaller size. The image side of the first lens can be designed as a plane and is glued to the surface of the fourth lens facing the first lens. After gluing, the assembly tolerance can be further reduced to reduce the assembly difficulty, improve the assembly yield, and enhance the structural reliability. The object side of the second lens is attached to or prepared by an optical reflection device, which is an important design to realize the optical multiplexing function. The light from the image source is reflected by the optical reflection device and converges to the first lens through the polarized reflection surface of the fourth lens, realizing the repeated propagation of the light in the second lens, the third lens and the fourth lens. The image side of the second lens and the object side of the third lens are glued and are both curved surfaces, so that the curvatures are the same. After gluing, the assembly tolerance can be reduced and the structural reliability can be improved. The fourth lens has a polarization beam splitter layer inside the fourth lens, which is at an angle of 45° with the first optical axis and the second optical axis, respectively transmits and reflects different linearly polarized light. The surface of the fourth lens facing the third lens is glued with a transmission type quarter wave plate for changing the polarization of the transmitted light. The image side of the fourth lens is provided with a linear polarizer so that the light incident on the fourth lens is reflected at the polarization beam splitter layer to improve the contrast of the projected image. The image side of the third lens can also be designed as a plane. The image side of the third lens is glued to the fourth lens. After gluing with the fourth lens, the assembly tolerance can be reduced and the structural reliability can be improved. The fifth lens has positive focal power, which is helpful for converging the illumination light while correcting the imaging aberration. The image side of the fifth lens can also be designed as a plane. One surface of the first lens and the third lens can be designed as a plane and glued to the fourth lens. The reduction of the number of curved surfaces of the optical lens helps to reduce the processing cost. Each gluing of the optical lens can reduce the number of tolerances and assembly tolerances, thereby greatly improving the mass production of the lens.
[0044] The projection system provided by the application can reduce the material processing cost, reduce the process flow and assembly tolerance to improve the mass production, and has the advantages of high definition and miniaturization of the projection.
[0045] Preferably, along the second optical axis, the optical total length TTL from the object side of the second lens to the image plane, the system focal length f of the projection system, the effective maximum field angle FOV of the projection system and the aperture value FNO of the projection system satisfy: 1.62 < TTL / (f*FNO*tan(FOV)) < 1.72.
[0046] In the embodiment, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the length T14 of the first lens along the first optical axis to the side surface of the fourth lens away from the stop satisfy: 3.00 < f1 / T14 < 6.10. Satisfying the condition formula is conducive to limiting the length of the projection system on the first optical axis, that is, controlling the length dimension of the projection system in the stop coupling-out direction in a smaller range, and also conducive to the miniaturization of the entire projection system.
[0047] Optionally, the effective maximum field of view FOV of the projection system satisfies: 29° < FOV < 31°. Such a setting can limit the projection field of view to a range that takes into account the viewing effect of the human eye and the coupling-in angle capability of various light waveguide structures, and is conducive to realizing high-definition projection with small distortion.
[0048] In the embodiment, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the system focal length f of the projection system satisfy: 3.10 < f1 / f < 6.60. Satisfying this relationship is conducive to reasonably distributing the optical power of the first lens, so that the optical power of the first lens is positive and within a certain range, which can avoid the case that the other lenses are too large in size and the overall size is too large due to the too large focal length of the first lens, and avoid the case that the tolerance sensitivity is increased due to the too small focal length of the first lens.
[0049] In the embodiment, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the central thickness T4 of the fourth lens satisfy: 3.50 < f1 / T4 < 7.70. Satisfying this relationship makes the ratio of the focal length of the first lens to the thickness of the fourth lens within a reasonable range, which is conducive to relatively gentle propagation of the light coupled out by the first lens within the fourth lens, while reducing the aberration generated within the fourth lens and keeping a relatively reasonable size.
[0050] In the embodiment, the length T14 of the first lens along the first optical axis to the side surface of the fourth lens away from the stop and the total optical length TTL along the second optical axis from the object side surface of the second lens to the image surface satisfy: 0.50 < T14 / TTL < 0.70. Satisfying the relationship is conducive to limiting the size of the projection system in the stop direction within a smaller range, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the projection system, and also avoids the problem of structural interference of the projection system when used in combination due to the too long size of the projection system on the second optical axis.
[0051] In the embodiment, the focal length f5 of the fifth lens and the system focal length f of the projection system satisfy: 1.40 < f5 / f < 2.10. Such a setting is conducive to balancing part of the system aberration of the fifth lens, and the CRA at the modulation image surface is at a smaller level, and the positive optical power is also conducive to the convergence of the illumination light.
[0052] In the embodiment, the aperture SD21 of the object side of the second lens and the central thickness T4 of the fourth lens satisfy 1.050<SD21 / T4<1.064. Such arrangement is conducive to the constraint of the size of the second lens and the fourth lens, and increases the processing feasibility of the second lens and the fourth lens while ensuring miniaturization.
[0053] In the embodiment, the on-axis distance SP14 between the first lens and the fourth lens, the on-axis distance SP23 between the second lens and the fourth lens, the on-axis distance SP34 between the third lens and the fourth lens, the on-axis distance SP45 between the fourth lens and the fifth lens, and the total optical length TTL from the object side of the second lens to the image plane along the second optical axis satisfy 0.05<(SP14+SP23+SP34+SP45) / TTL<0.12. Such arrangement is conducive to making full use of the structural space for setting the imaging lens, and makes the distribution of the lenses in space more compact, which is conducive to miniaturization.
[0054] In the embodiment, the combined focal length f23 of the second lens and the third lens and the focal length f5 of the fifth lens satisfy 1.00<f23 / f5<1.60. Satisfying the relationship can make the refractive power of each lens in the projection system be reasonably distributed, which is conducive to the balance of aberration and tolerance in the system.
[0055] In the embodiment, the focal length f2 of the second lens and the focal length f3 of the third lens satisfy -1.20<f2 / f3<-0.90. Such arrangement is conducive to better correction of system chromatic aberration, and greatly improves the imaging quality of the system.
[0056] In the embodiment, the projection system further comprises an optical waveguide structure, and the optical waveguide structure is arranged at the stop. The optical waveguide structure has a coupling entrance, and the size of the coupling entrance is equal to the size of the stop.
[0057] In the embodiment, the optical waveguide structure is one of an array optical waveguide, a geometric optical waveguide, and a diffractive optical waveguide. The array optical waveguide is a structure composed of a plurality of parallel arranged optical waveguides, the geometric optical waveguide is a structure in which light is refracted and reflected by different refractive index distributions, and the diffractive optical waveguide is a structure in which image light is expanded, coupled in, and coupled out by using a diffraction grating.
[0058] The application further provides an AR projection device, and the AR projection device comprises the projection system.
[0059] For example, the AR projection device can be a head-mounted virtual display device or a vehicle-mounted head-up display device.
[0060] Specifically, the lens in the projection system of the present application can be a spherical glass lens or an aspherical glass lens, or a spherical injection molded lens or an aspherical injection molded lens, which can be set according to actual needs.
[0061] In the present application, at least one of the mirror surfaces of each lens is an aspherical mirror surface. The aspherical lens has the characteristic that the curvature continuously changes from the center of the lens to the periphery of the lens. Unlike the spherical lens which has a constant curvature from the center of the lens to the periphery of the lens, the aspherical lens has better curvature radius characteristics, and has the advantages of improving the distortion aberration and improving the astigmatism aberration. After using the aspherical lens, the aberration that occurs during imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, thereby improving the imaging quality.
[0062] Since the aspherical surface is obtained by rotating the meridional surface around the optical axis for one revolution, the structure has rotational symmetry, and in an ideal optical system, the aberrations of the meridional surface and the sagittal surface can be well corrected; at the same time, due to its unique lens model, it can provide sufficient space for subsequent related adjustment, making the related structure and assembly process more flexible and not reducing the imaging quality too much.
