[0034] Please refer to the accompanying drawings. The technical solution of the present invention provides an optical system 10, 20, which is composed of an image surface Si for emitting light, a fourth lens L4, a third lens L3, a second lens L2, and a first lens L1 arranged sequentially from the front to the rear. A polarizing reflective film RP is provided between the first lens L1 and the second lens L2, and a quarter-wave plate QWP is provided between the second lens L2 and the third lens L3. The first lens L1, the second lens L2, and the third lens L3 are cemented together to form a combined lens. The focal length of the combined lens is f1_2_3, the focal length of the fourth lens L4 is f4, the focal length of the optical system 10, 20 is f, the radius of curvature of the front surface of the fourth lens L4 is R8, the on-axis thicknesses of the first lens L1, the second lens L2, and the third lens L3 are d1, d3, and d5, respectively, and the maximum half-aperture of the lens of the optical system is MSD, and satisfies the following relationship:

[0035] 5.50≤f4 / f1_2_3≤8.00 (1)

[0036] 0.04≤f / R8≤0.14 (2)

[0037] 0.20≤d1 / (d1+d3+d5)≤0.37 (3)

[0038] MSD≥24.00mm (4)

[0039] Condition (1) specifies the range of the ratio of the focal length f4 of the fourth lens L4 to the focal length f1_2_3 of the combined lens. By reasonably designing the focal length f4 of the fourth lens L4 and the focal length f1_2_3 of the combined lens, the field of view of the optical systems 10 and 20 can be increased, their sensitivity can be effectively reduced, the image imaging effect can be improved, and the thickness of the optical systems 10 and 20 can be reduced to meet the requirements of the thin and light design of electronic devices equipped with the optical systems 10 and 20.

[0040] Condition (2) specifies the shape of the radius of curvature R8 of the lens (i.e. the fourth lens L4) on the side closer to the image surface Si in the optical systems 10 and 20. This can better match the divergence angle of the light emitted from the image surface Si, improve energy utilization, and enhance the uniformity of the display brightness of the optical systems 10 and 20.

[0041] Condition (3) specifies the on-axis thickness of each lens in the optical systems 10 and 20. By reasonably allocating the on-axis thickness of each lens, the sensitivity of the optical systems 10 and 20 can be reduced and the production yield of the optical systems 10 and 20 can be improved. At the same time, the structure of the optical systems 10 and 20 can be made compact, realizing the ultra-thin design of the optical systems 10 and 20.

[0042] Condition (4) specifies the range of the maximum half-aperture diameter (MSD) of the lenses of the optical systems 10 and 20, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the optical systems 10 and 20.

[0043] In this solution, by rationally setting the radius of curvature of the lens near the screen, the divergence angle of the light emitted from the image surface Si can be better matched, improving energy utilization and enhancing the uniformity of display brightness of optical systems 10 and 20. Furthermore, by rationally designing the focal length of the combined lens and the fourth lens L4, the field of view of optical systems 10 and 20 can be increased. By rationally allocating the on-axis thickness of each lens, the thickness of optical systems 10 and 20 can be reduced, making their structure compact and achieving a thinner and lighter design. This effectively reduces their sensitivity, improves the imaging effect of optical systems 10 and 20, and meets the thinner and lighter requirements of electronic devices equipped with these optical systems 10 and 20.

[0044] Furthermore, the front side of the third lens L3 is provided with a beam splitter BS, which is used to properly project and reflect light from the image plane Si. Additionally, the rear side of the image plane Si is provided with a polarizer POL, which polarizes the light emitted from the image plane Si.

[0045] It should be noted that in this invention, the front side is the image surface side and the rear side is the human eye side. The front side refers to the surface facing the image surface side in the optical axis direction, and the rear side refers to the surface facing the human eye side in the optical axis direction.

[0046] It is understood that the image surface Si is a display screen, and the light emitted from the display screen is circularly polarized light. After passing through the polarizer POL, it forms left-handedly polarized light LCP. The left-handedly polarized light LCP enters the fourth lens L4 from its front side and exits from its rear side, illuminating the beam splitter BS. A portion of the left-handedly polarized light LCP is reflected by the beam splitter BS, and the other portion is transmitted to the third lens L3. It then enters the third lens L3 from its front side and exits from its rear side to the quarter-wave plate QWP. Afterward, the left-handedly polarized light LCP passes through the quarter-wave plate QWP, forming linearly polarized light S. The linearly polarized light S illuminates the polarizing reflective film RP. Since the polarizing reflective film RP has the characteristic of reflecting both linearly polarized light S and projecting linearly polarized light P, the linearly polarized light S illuminating the polarizing reflective film RP is reflected back to the second lens L2.

[0047] The reflected linearly polarized S-light enters the second lens L2 from its rear side and exits from its front side. After passing through the quarter-wave plate QWP for the second time, it forms left-handedly polarized LCP light, which then enters the third lens L3 via its rear side and exits from its front side to the beam splitter BS. The left-handedly polarized LCP light is reflected by the beam splitter BS to form right-handedly polarized RCP light, which again enters the third lens L3 via its front side. The right-handedly polarized RCP light exits from the rear side of the third lens L3, passes through the quarter-wave plate QWP, and forms linearly polarized P-light. The linearly polarized P-light light enters the second lens L2 via its front side and exits from its rear side. Upon exiting the polarizing reflective film RP, the linearly polarized P-light light passes through the polarizing reflective film RP and enters the first lens L1, exiting from its rear side and propagating to the human eye.

[0048] Preferably, the axial distance from the image plane Si to the rear side surface of the first lens L1 is dL, and the thickness is dL, satisfying the following relationship:

[0049] dL≤23.00mm (5)

[0050] Condition (5) specifies the on-axis thickness dL of the combined lens. Within this range, it is beneficial to reduce the overall on-axis thickness of the optical systems 10 and 20, thereby achieving the ultra-thin design of the optical systems 10 and 20.

[0051] Preferably, the total optical length of the optical systems 10 and 20 is TTL, and satisfies the following relationship:

[0052] TTL≤38.00mm (6)

[0053] Condition (6) limits the total optical length TTL of the optical systems 10 and 20. By reasonably limiting the total optical length TTL of the optical systems 10 and 20, the ultra-thin design of the optical systems 10 and 20 can be achieved while achieving high imaging quality.

[0054] Preferably, the total optical length (TTL) of the optical systems 10 and 20 also satisfies the following relationship:

[0055] TTL / f≤1.95 (7)

[0057] Preferably, the field of view (FOV) of the optical systems 10 and 20 is FOV, and satisfies the following relationship:

[0058] 75.00°≤FOV≤85.00° (8)

[0059] Condition (8) specifies the field of view (FOV) of the optical systems 10 and 20. Within this range, it can be ensured that the field of view (FOV) of the optical systems 10 and 20 effectively covers the display screen, so that the user can fully receive the display content of the display screen.

[0060] Preferably, the front surface of the third lens L3 is provided with a semi-reflective HRHT film, the transmittance of the semi-reflective HRHT film is t1, the reflectance of the semi-reflective HRHT film is r, and satisfies the following relationship:

[0061] 40.00% ≤ t1 ≤ 60.00% (9)

[0062] 40.00% ≤ r ≤ 60.00% (10)

[0063] Conditions (9) and (10) respectively specify the range of values ​​for the transmittance t1 and reflectance r of the semi-reflective and semi-transparent film HRHT. Within this range, the light emitted by the display screen can have a reasonable light intensity when it is imaged on the human eye after passing through the lens group, avoiding excessive light intensity that may cause eye discomfort to the user, while enabling the user to clearly receive the display content of the display screen.

[0064] Preferably, the transmittance of the polarizing reflective film RP is t2, and satisfies the following relationship:

[0065] t2≥95.00% (11)

[0066] Condition (11) specifies the range of transmittance t2 of the polarizing reflective film RP. Within this range, sufficient light can pass through the polarizing reflective film RP and be emitted to the human eye, avoiding insufficient imaging light and ensuring the user's experience.

[0067] Preferably, the chromatic difference between the optical systems 10 and 20 is |LC|, and satisfies the following relationship:

[0068] |LC|≤75.00μm (12)

[0069] Condition (12) specifies the chromatic difference range of the optical systems 10 and 20, which can reduce the color distortion of the optical systems 10 and 20 and ensure that the optical systems 10 and 20 have good imaging effects.

[0070] Preferably, the optical distortion of the optical system is OD, and satisfies the following relationship:

[0071] OD≤24.00% (13)

[0072] Condition (13) specifies the range of optical distortion of the optical systems 10 and 20. Within the range of the condition, the degree of imaging distortion of the optical systems 10 and 20 can be reduced, ensuring that the optical systems 10 and 20 have good imaging effects.

[0073] Preferably, the eyebox size of the optical systems 10 and 20 is EYEBOX, and satisfies the following relationship:

[0074] EYEBOX ≥ 12.00 mm (14)

[0075] Conditional equation (14) defines the range of values ​​for the eye box size of the optical systems 10 and 20. In this invention, the position of the aperture ST simulates the position of the human eye surface, the diameter of the aperture ST is EPD = 4.00 mm, the eye box size of the optical systems 10 and 20 is EYEBOX, and the range of human eye movement is EYESHIFT. Therefore, EYEBOX = EPD + EYESHIFT, where EYESHIFT is the movement of the field of vision caused by the rotation of the human eye. Let EYESHIFT = ±4.00 mm, that is, the maximum distance that the human eye can move in two opposite directions is 4.00 mm, then EYEBOX = 12.00 mm. Therefore, the human eye can see a clear image when moving within a range of 12.00 mm in diameter, so that the user can see the best display effect in the optimal position without complicated adjustments.

[0076] Preferably, the axial distance from the human eye to the rear side of the first lens L1 is EYERELIF, and satisfies the following relationship:

[0077] EYERELIF≤15.00mm (15)

[0078] Condition (15) defines the axial distance between the human eye and the rear side of the first lens L1 when the optical systems 10 and 20 are in use. In this invention, the aperture ST simulates the position of the human eye, and the diameter EPD of the aperture ST is the entrance pupil diameter ENPD of the optical systems 10 and 20. The aperture ST is located on one side of the rear side of the first lens L1, and the axial distance from the aperture ST to the rear side of the first lens L1 is EYERELIF. Other structures, such as mechanical structures and eyeglasses, can be placed within this distance. Within this range, the smoothness of the eye's observation of the display screen can be satisfied, and the overall system length of the optical systems 10 and 20 can be made smaller, which is beneficial for miniaturization design.

[0079] Preferably, the screen size SS satisfies the following relationship:

[0080] 1 inch ≤ SS ≤ 1.3 inches (16)

[0081] Condition (16) limits the size of the display screen in the optical systems 10 and 20, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the optical systems.

[0082] In one embodiment, the first lens L1 has positive refractive power, and the rear surface of the first lens L1 is convex near the axis, as are the front surface of the first lens L1.

[0088] In one embodiment, the second lens L2 has negative refractive power, with a flat front surface and a concave rear surface near the axis. It is understood that making the front surface of the second lens L2 flat reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the second lens L2 and the difficulty of setting the quarter-wave plate (QWP) on its front surface.

[0094] In one embodiment, the third lens L3 has positive refractive power, with its front surface being convex near the axis and its rear surface being flat. It is understood that setting the rear surface of the third lens L3 to be flat reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the third lens L3 and also reduces the difficulty of attaching the rear surface of the third lens L3 to the front surface of the quarter-wave plate (QWP). In other feasible embodiments, the third lens L3 may also have negative refractive power, and its front and rear surfaces may be configured with other surface shapes.

[0095] Preferably, the on-axis thickness of the third lens L3 is d5, the total optical length of the optical systems 10 and 20 is TTL; the focal length of the third lens L3 is f3, the focal length of the optical systems 10 and 20 is f, and the following relationship is satisfied:

More preferably, 0.16≤d5 / TTL≤0.24. Condition (23) specifies the focal length f3 of the third lens L3, which helps to reduce aberrations and improve imaging quality. More preferably, 4.02≤f3 / f≤6.11.

[0101] -4.39≤(R7+R8) / (R7-R8)≤-0.84 (24)

[0102] 0.05≤d7 / TTL≤0.17 (25)

[0104] Condition (24) specifies the shape of the fourth lens L4, which can reduce the spherical aberration of the optical systems 10 and 20. More preferably, -2.74 ≤ (R7 + R8) / (R7 - R8) ≤ -1.05. Condition (25) specifies the on-axis thickness d7 of the fourth lens L4. Within this range, it is beneficial to realize the ultra-thin design of the optical systems 10 and 20. More preferably, 0.09 ≤ d7 / TTL ≤ 0.13. Condition (26) specifies the focal length f4 of the fourth lens L4, which helps to reduce aberrations and improve image quality. More preferably, 4.71 ≤ f4 / f ≤ 9.71.

[0105] More preferably, the focal length of the combined lens consisting of the first lens L1, the second lens L2, and the third lens L3 is f1_2_3, and satisfies the following relationship:

[0106] 0.52≤f1_2_3 / f≤1.60 (27)

[0107] Condition (27) specifies the focal length f123 of the combined lens, which helps to control the light path between the lenses and improve the optical performance of the optical systems 10 and 20. More preferably, 0.84≤f1_2_3 / f≤1.28.

[0108] The optical systems 10 and 20 of this invention utilize a combination of a polarizer (POL), a quarter-wave plate (QWP), and a polarizing reflective film (RP) in a solid-line optical path folding structure to reduce the volume of the optical systems 10 and 20. Specifically, the use of a combined lens, consisting of a first lens L1, a second lens L2, and a third lens L3 cemented together, in the folded optical path significantly reduces the total optical length (TTL) of the optical systems 10 and 20, lowering the assembly difficulty and contributing to the miniaturization and weight reduction of electronic devices. Furthermore, due to the large size of the eyebox, users can achieve the best display effect from the optimal position without frequent adjustments. The maximum field of view (FOV) can reach 85°. Even at the edge of the eyebox (EYESHIFT = ±4mm), the full-field performance of the optical systems 10 and 20 is excellent, improving the user's display experience when the position is not ideal. The lenses in the optical systems 10 and 20 of this invention use aspherical design to adjust the focusing position of the image, thereby reducing chromatic aberration and distortion of the displayed image and improving image quality.

[0109] The optical system 10 of the present invention will be described below with examples. The symbols described in each example are shown in Table [1]. The units for focal length, on-axis distance, radius of curvature, and on-axis thickness are millimeters.
