Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of optical components, and more specifically, to an optical imaging system and a VR device including the optical imaging system. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, virtual reality (VR) devices have generally gone through three optical scheme development stages: aspherical lenses, Fresnel lenses, and folding structures. Among them, the optical system of aspherical lenses and Fresnel lenses is too long, resulting in large size and heavy weight of the device. Folding structures can realize the folding of the light path, which greatly shortens the total length of the system and is the main direction of development of virtual reality devices.

[0003] However, current folding mirror structures generally suffer from problems such as a small field of view, heavy weight, and significant chromatic aberration, affecting the system's imaging quality and the user's immersive experience. Therefore, for the widely used three-element folding mirror structure, those skilled in the art hope to achieve this by more rationally designing the lenses included in the system. This can be achieved by, for example, rationally controlling the lens's radius of curvature, shape, and effective focal length, as well as by appropriately selecting lens materials and controlling parameters such as refractive index. This would allow for more effective correction of chromatic aberration, an increased system field of view, further reduction in size, and simultaneous improvement in system performance and imaging quality, ultimately enhancing the user's immersive experience.

[0009] In one embodiment, the second side surface of the second lens is concave, and the quarter-wave plate is attached to the second side surface of the second lens; and the refractive index Nqwp of the quarter-wave plate and the refractive index N2 of the second lens can satisfy: Nqwp <N2。

[0010] In one embodiment, the center thickness CT2 of the second lens on the optical axis and the air gap T12 between the first lens and the second lens on the optical axis can satisfy: 1.5 <CT2 / T12<7.6。

[0011] In one embodiment, the effective focal length f of the optical imaging system and the radius of curvature R1 of the first side surface of the first lens can satisfy: -0.2 <f / R1<0.2。

[0012] In one embodiment, the effective focal length f3 of the third 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 can satisfy: -5.0 <f3 / (R5+R6)<15.0。

[0013] In one embodiment, the effective focal length f2 of the second lens, the refractive index N2 of the second lens, and the radius of curvature R4 of the second side surface of the second lens can satisfy: -3.0 <f2×N2 / R4<1.5。

[0014] In one embodiment, the air gap T23 between the second lens and the third lens on the optical axis and the sum of the air gaps ∑AT between any two adjacent lenses with optical power in the optical imaging system on the optical axis can satisfy: 0.5 < T23 / ∑AT < 1.0.

[0015] In one 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 surface of the first lens, and the radius of curvature R2 of the second side surface of the first lens can satisfy: -1.5 < f1 × N1 / (R1 - R2) < 0.5.

By controlling the refractive indices of the first, second, and third lenses—making the refractive index of the second lens greater than that of the first lens, or vice versa—the shape of the lenses can be controlled, which facilitates the convergence of edge light rays and corrects chromatic aberration in the system. Controlling the effective focal length, refractive index, and radius of curvature of the second side surface of the first lens increases the system's field of view and reduces the height at which the edge field of view converges on the image plane, thus helping to reduce the screen size.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system of this application can satisfy the condition N2>N1 or N2>N3, and can also satisfy the condition -4.0<f1×N1 / R2<-2.0, where N2 is the refractive index of the second lens, N1 is the refractive index of the first lens, N3 is the refractive index of the third lens, f1 is the effective focal length of the first lens, and R2 is the radius of curvature of the second side surface of the first lens.

In an exemplary embodiment, the receiving side may be, for example, the human eye side, and the transmitting side may be, for example, the display side. The optical imaging system can be used in various VR display devices. In the optical imaging system, the first side of each element is the surface of the optical element that is near the receiving / human eye side and away from the transmitting / display side, and the second side is the surface of the optical element that is near the transmitting / display side and away from the receiving / human eye side.

[0046] An optical imaging system according to an exemplary embodiment of this application comprises a first lens, a reflective polarizing element, a second lens, a quarter-wave plate, and a third lens arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the first side to the second side, wherein the second side of the third lens has a partially reflective layer; and the refractive indices N1, N2, and N3 of the first, second, and third lenses are controlled to satisfy the condition N2>N1 or N2>N3, and the effective focal length f1 of the first lens, its refractive index N1, and the radius of curvature R2 of its second side satisfy the condition -4.0<f1×N1 / R2<-2.0. This system can achieve optical path reflection, shorten the length of the optical system, and facilitate the miniaturization of virtual reality devices; it can reasonably control the shape of the lenses, which is beneficial for the convergence of edge rays and the correction of chromatic aberration in the system; at the same time, it can help increase the field of view of the system, reduce the height at which the edge field of view converges at the image plane, and help reduce the size of the screen.

[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, the first side of the second lens can be a plane, and the reflective polarizing element can be attached to the first side of the second lens, that is, the second side of the reflective polarizing element can be attached to the first side of the second lens.

[0048] In an exemplary embodiment, the second side surface of the second lens can be concave, and the quarter-wave plate can be attached to the second side surface of the second lens, that is, the first side surface of the quarter-wave plate can be attached to the second side surface of the second lens.

[0049] In an exemplary embodiment, the second side of the third lens may have a partially reflective layer. The first side of the partially reflective layer may be attached to the second side of the third lens.

[0050] The following will refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An exemplary description of an optical imaging system is provided. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the optical imaging system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application may include a first lens E1, a reflective polarizing element RP, a second lens E2, a quarter-wave plate QWP, and a third lens E3 arranged in sequence from the first side (reception part side J) to the second side (emission part side F). Among them, the second side surface of the reflective polarizing element RP is adhered to the first side surface of the second lens E2, the first side surface of the quarter-wave plate QWP is adhered to the second side surface of the second lens E2, and the second side surface of the third lens E3 has a partial reflection layer BS. In actual use, the optical imaging system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application can be used as a VR lens. At this time, the reception part side J corresponds to the human eye side, and the emission part side F corresponds to the display side. The light beam emitted from the emission part side F (such as a light source display) can sequentially pass through the partial reflection layer BS located on the second side surface of the third lens E3, the third lens E3, the quarter-wave plate QWP, and the second lens E2, reach the reflective polarizing element RP, be reflected at the reflective polarizing element RP and then pass through the second lens E2, the quarter-wave plate QWP, and the third lens E3 again, reach the partial reflection layer BS located on the second side surface of the third lens E3. After that, the light beam is reflected again at the partial reflection layer BS and sequentially passes through the third lens E3, the quarter-wave plate QWP, the second lens E2, the reflective polarizing element RP, and the first lens E1 to be emitted toward the reception part side J (such as the human eye side). In the exemplary embodiment, the partial reflection layer BS may be a semi-transmissive and semi-reflective film layer plated on the second side surface of the third lens E3.

[0051] In the exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system of the present application may satisfy the conditional expressions ImgH < 13.0 mm and Semi-FOV > 50°, where ImgH is half of the diagonal length of the effective pixel area on the emission part located on the second side of the optical imaging system, and Semi-FOV is half of the maximum viewing angle of the optical imaging system. By controlling the half of the diagonal length of the effective pixel area on the emission part located on the second side of the optical imaging system and the half of the maximum viewing angle of the optical imaging system within this range respectively, the height of the light is reduced, which is beneficial to reducing the size of the screen and the miniaturization of the device; at the same time, the viewing angle of the system is increased, which is beneficial to enhancing the immersive experience of the user.

[0052] In the exemplary embodiment, the first side surface of the second lens may be a plane, the reflective polarizing element may be attached to the first side surface of the second lens, and the optical imaging system of the present application may satisfy the conditional expression NRP < N2, where NRP is the refractive index of the reflective polarizing element and N2 is the refractive index of the second lens. By controlling the refractive indices of the reflective polarizing element and the second lens, making the refractive index of the second lens greater than that of the reflective polarizing element, it is beneficial to reducing the influence of the thickness change of the reflective polarizing element on the performance of the optical system.

[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system of the present application can satisfy the conditional formula CT3 > CT1 > CT2, where CT3 is the central thickness of the third lens on the optical axis, CT1 is the central thickness of the first lens on the optical axis, and CT2 is the central thickness of the second lens on the optical axis. By controlling the central thicknesses of the first lens, the second lens, and the third lens, such that the central thickness of the third lens is greater than that of the first lens, and the central thickness of the first lens is greater than that of the second lens. On the one hand, increasing the central thickness of the third lens is conducive to increasing the length of the reflection path of the refracted light, shortening the total length of the optical system, and miniaturizing the VR device. On the other hand, appropriate central thickness is conducive to the processing and shaping of the lens.

[0054] In an exemplary embodiment, the second side of the third lens has a partial reflection layer, and the optical imaging system of the present application can satisfy the conditional formula NBS = N3, where NBS is the refractive index of the partial reflection layer located on the second side of the third lens, and N3 is the refractive index of the third lens. By controlling the refractive index of the partial reflection layer located on the second side of the third lens and the refractive index of the third lens, and making the refractive indices of the two equal, the direction of light can be reasonably controlled, so that the change in light when passing through the third lens from the partial reflection layer is small, which is conducive to correcting the chromatic aberration of the system, thereby improving the imaging quality of the system.

[0055] In an exemplary embodiment, the second side of the second lens can be a concave surface, the quarter-wave plate can be attached to the second side of the second lens, and the optical imaging system of the present application can satisfy the conditional formula Nqwp < N2, where Nqwp is the refractive index of the quarter-wave plate, and N2 is the refractive index of the second lens. By controlling the second side of the second lens to be a concave surface, and controlling the refractive index of the second lens and the refractive index of the quarter-wave plate, such that the optical power of the second side of the second lens is negative, it is conducive to the convergence of light when the system increases the field of view, thereby improving the imaging quality. Additionally, controlling the refractive index of the second lens to be greater than the refractive index of the quarter-wave plate is conducive to reducing the influence of the thickness change of the quarter-wave plate on the optical system, thereby selecting a polarizing element with the optimal polarization state.

[0056] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system of the present application can satisfy the conditional formula 1.5 < CT2 / T12 < 7.6, where CT2 is the central thickness of the second lens on the optical axis, and T12 is the air gap between the first lens and the second lens on the optical axis. By controlling the ratio of the central thickness of the second lens on the optical axis to the air gap between the first lens and the second lens on the optical axis within this range, while ensuring the formability of the lens, the first lens and the second lens are arranged compactly, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the VR device.

[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system of the present application can satisfy the conditional formula -0.2 < f / R1 < 0.2, where f is the effective focal length of the optical imaging system, and R1 is the radius of curvature of the first side surface of the first lens. By controlling the ratio of the effective focal length of the optical imaging system to the radius of curvature of the first side surface of the first lens within this range, while controlling the shape of the first lens, it is beneficial to increase the field angle of the system.

[0058] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system of the present application can satisfy the conditional formula -5.0 < f3 / (R5 + R6) < 15.0, where f3 is the effective focal length of the third lens, R5 is the radius of curvature of the first side surface of the third lens, and R6 is the radius of curvature of the second side surface of the third lens. By controlling the effective focal length of the third lens and the radii of curvature of the first and second side surfaces of the third lens to satisfy the conditional formula -5.0 < f3 / (R5 + R6) < 15.0, on the one hand, it restricts the shape of the third lens, which is beneficial to reducing the height of the light rays, thereby reducing the size of the screen; on the other hand, it is beneficial to reducing the intensity of the ghost image generated by the reflection between the second lens and the screen.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system of the present application can satisfy the conditional formula -3.0 < f2×N2 / R4 < 1.5, where f2 is the effective focal length of the second lens, N2 is the refractive index of the second lens, and R4 is the radius of curvature of the second side surface of the second lens. By controlling the effective focal length and refractive index of the second lens and the radius of curvature of the second side surface of the second lens to satisfy the conditional formula -3.0 < f2×N2 / R4 < 1.5, the bending shape and optical power of the second side surface of the second lens are reasonably controlled, which is beneficial to the attachment of the quarter-wave plate; in addition, it is beneficial to the convergence of the refolded light rays, thereby improving the imaging quality.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system of the present application can satisfy the conditional formula 0.5 < T23 / ∑AT < 1.0, where T23 is the air gap between the second lens and the third lens on the optical axis, and ∑AT is the sum of the air gaps between any two adjacent lenses with optical power on the optical axis in the optical imaging system. For example, ∑AT can be equal to the sum of T12 and T23. By controlling the ratio of the air gap between the second lens and the third lens on the optical axis to the sum of the air gaps between any two adjacent lenses with optical power between the first lens and the lens closest to the second side (emitting part side) on the optical axis within this range, the arrangement of the lenses is made compact, shortening the total length of the optical system, which is beneficial to reducing the volume and weight of the VR device.

[0061] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system of this application can satisfy the condition -1.5 < f1 × N1 / (R1 - R2) < 0.5, where f1 is the effective focal length of the first lens, N1 is the refractive index of the first lens, R1 is the radius of curvature of the first side surface of the first lens, and R2 is the radius of curvature of the second side surface of the first lens. By controlling the effective focal length and refractive index of the first lens, as well as the radii of curvature of the two sides of the first lens, to satisfy the condition -1.5 < f1 × N1 / (R1 - R2) < 0.5, the shape of the lens can be reasonably controlled, which is beneficial to increasing the field of view of the system.

[0062] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system of this application can satisfy the condition 1.0 < DT32 / DT11 < 1.6, where DT32 is the maximum effective radius of the second side surface of the third lens, and DT11 is the maximum effective radius of the first side surface of the first lens. By controlling the ratio of the maximum effective radius of the second side surface of the third lens to the maximum effective radius of the first side surface of the first lens within this range, while keeping the maximum effective radius of the second side surface of the third lens constant, increasing the maximum effective radius of the first side surface of the first lens is beneficial for increasing the field of view at the same image height.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system 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 can be disposed at an appropriate position in the optical imaging system; for example, the aperture stop can be located between the first side (receiving side) and the first lens.

[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical imaging system may optionally include a protective glass for protecting a photosensitive element, such as that on a light source display, located on the emitting side.

[0065] In an exemplary embodiment, the lens included in the optical imaging system may have at least one aspherical mirror. Aspherical mirrors have better radius of curvature characteristics, offering advantages in improving distortion aberrations and astigmatism. By using aspherical mirrors, aberrations occurring during imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, thereby improving image quality.

[0066] The optical imaging system according to the above-described embodiment of the present application sequentially includes, from the first side to the second side along the optical axis, a first lens, a reflective polarizing element, a second lens, a quarter-wave plate, and a third lens. Among them, the second side surface of the third lens has a partial reflection layer. The refractive indices N1, N2, and N3 of the first lens, the second lens, and the third lens satisfy the conditional formula N2 > N1 or N2 > N3; the effective focal length f1 of the first lens, the refractive index N1 of the first lens, and the curvature radius R2 of the second side surface of the first lens satisfy the conditional formula -4.0 < f1 × N1 / R2 < -2.0. By providing a reflective polarizing element and a quarter-wave plate on the first side and the second side of the second lens respectively, where the reflective polarizing element can transmit light of a certain polarization direction and reflect polarized light orthogonal to this polarization direction; the quarter-wave plate can convert between linearly polarized light and circularly polarized light; combined with the partial reflection layer of the third lens, the folding and reflection of the optical path can be achieved, shortening the length of the optical system, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of virtual reality devices. By controlling the refractive indices of the first lens, the second lens, and the third lens, making the refractive index of the second lens greater than the refractive index of the first lens or the refractive index of the second lens greater than the refractive index of the third lens, the shape of the lens can be controlled, which is beneficial to the convergence of marginal rays and the correction of chromatic aberration of the system. By controlling the effective focal length, refractive index, and the curvature radius of the second side surface of the first lens, it is beneficial to increase the field angle of the system, reduce the height at which the marginal field converges on the image plane, and is beneficial to reducing the size of the screen.
