[0002] With the continuous advancement of optoelectronic devices and communication technology, virtual reality (VR) technology, as the forefront of the new generation of information technology, has achieved leapfrog development, and its forms and types are becoming increasingly diverse, and it is constantly being used in military, medical, education and consumer fields. Among them, head-mounted display devices usually transmit and amplify the information on the display screen through an optical system, and finally output it to the human eye. Therefore, the human eye receives the enlarged virtual image of the display screen, thereby achieving the purpose of large-screen viewing. At present, head-mounted display devices are developing in the direction of being more miniaturized, thinner, easier to wear, and lighter. At the same time, large field of view, low distortion and visual comfort have also become key evaluation indicators for the quality of head-mounted displays. Large field of view brings better immersion, low distortion and high image quality determine the visual comfort.

[0003] In order to meet these requirements, the optical system needs to achieve large field of view, low distortion, high image quality and other indicators at the same time. However, an increase in the field of view often leads to an increase in distortion. Therefore, meeting the above optical performance at the same time poses a huge challenge to the design of the optical system and the optimization of aberrations. Summary of the invention

It should also be understood that terms (such as terms defined in commonly used dictionaries) should be interpreted as having the same meaning as their meaning in the context of the relevant technology, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless explicitly defined in this article.

[0040] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The following will detail the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0041] The present invention provides an optical lens. The optical lens is used to modulate the optical signal emitted by the image source and transmit it to the entrance pupil side of the human eye. The optical lens is arranged in the light-emitting direction of the image source, that is, the emission surface of the image source is the light-emitting side of the optical signal. Along the reverse direction of the light transmission (i.e., from the entrance pupil side of the human eye to the image source surface), it sequentially includes a diaphragm, a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens, and there is an air gap between any two adjacent lenses. The first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, and the sixth lens each include an incident light surface and an exit light surface, and the incident light surface and the exit light surface are oppositely arranged on the surface of each lens. It can be understood that the surface of each lens close to the image source is called the incident light surface of the lens, and the surface of each lens close to the entrance pupil side of the human eye is called the exit light surface of the lens. The diaphragm is the entrance pupil of the imaging of this optical system. The human eye is at the position of the diaphragm, enabling the human eye to observe the best imaging effect.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first lens may have a positive optical power. The exit light surface of the first lens can be a concave surface, a convex surface, or a flat surface, and the incident light surface of the first lens is a convex surface. The second lens may have a positive optical power. The exit light surface of the second lens is a convex surface, and the incident light surface of the second lens is a concave surface. The third lens may have a positive optical power. The exit light surface of the third lens is a convex surface, and the incident light surface of the third lens is a convex surface. The fourth lens has a negative optical power. The exit light surface of the fourth lens can be a concave surface or a convex surface, and the incident light surface of the fourth lens is a concave surface. The fifth lens may have a positive optical power. The exit light surface of the fifth lens is a convex surface, and the incident light surface of the fifth lens can be a concave surface or a convex surface. The sixth lens may have a positive optical power or a negative optical power. The exit light surface of the sixth lens is a concave surface, and the incident light surface of the sixth lens can be a concave surface or a convex surface.

[0043] In some embodiments, the total optical length TTL of the optical lens, the effective focal length f of the optical lens, and the maximum field of view FOV of the optical lens satisfy: 2 < TTL / (f × tan(FOV / 2)) < 2.3. Meeting the above conditions can enable the optical system to obtain a smaller total optical length and at the same time obtain a larger field of view, and can better meet the development direction of head-mounted display devices.

[0044] In some embodiments, the display area length IH of the image source that the optical lens can match and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1.3 < IH / f < 1.4. Meeting the above conditions can enable the lens to have a larger image plane, be able to match a larger-sized image source to achieve high-definition imaging, and effectively improve the user's visual experience; at the same time, it can enable the lens to have a longer focal length and can improve the natural realism of the imaging picture.

[0045] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f1 of the first lens satisfy: 1.3 < f1 / f < 3; the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the radius of curvature R2 of the incident light surface of the first lens satisfy: -2 < R2 / f < -0.7. Meeting the above conditions is beneficial for the light to have a larger field of view range after exiting the first lens, thereby providing a larger eye movement range and a better immersive experience for the user.

[0046] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f2 of the second lens satisfy: 1.5 < f2 / f < 4; the radius of curvature R3 of the light-emitting surface of the second lens and the radius of curvature R4 of the incident light surface of the second lens satisfy: 0.1 < R3 / R4 < 0.7. Meeting the above conditions can further accelerate and converge the light into the human eye, reduce the total system length, and better realize the miniaturization of the system.

[0047] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f3 of the third lens satisfy: 1.2 < f3 / f < 3; the radius of curvature R5 of the light-emitting surface of the third lens and the radius of curvature R6 of the incident light surface of the third lens satisfy: -3.5 < R5 / R6 < -1. Meeting the above conditions can enable the third lens to have better light-gathering ability, better converge the light at the large field of view angle, which is beneficial for reducing the correction difficulty of the marginal field aberration and improving the imaging quality of the system at the large field of view.

[0048] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f4 of the fourth lens satisfy: -1.5 < f4 / f < -0.7. Meeting the above conditions is beneficial for reasonably balancing the aberrations brought by the first, second, and third lenses, while improving the resolution quality of the marginal field of view and achieving high imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0049] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f5 of the fifth lens satisfy: 0.8 < f5 / f < 20. Meeting the above conditions can effectively converge the light emitted from the image source side, which is beneficial for matching a larger-sized image source to achieve high-definition imaging.

[0050] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the radius of curvature R9 of the light-emitting surface of the fifth lens satisfy: 1.2 < R9 / f < 3.5. Meeting the above conditions, by reasonably controlling the surface shape of the fifth lens, is beneficial for correcting optical distortion and aberration and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0051] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the focal length f4 of the fourth lens satisfy: -2.7 < f1 / f4 < -1. Meeting the above conditions, by reasonably setting the focal length ratio of the first lens and the fourth lens, the light can enter the system at a relatively gentle angle, which is beneficial for correcting various aberrations of the optical lens and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0052] In some embodiments, the central thickness CT5 of the fifth lens and the central thickness CT6 of the sixth lens satisfy: 1.1 < CT5 / CT6 < 3.5; the central thickness CT3 of the third lens and the central thickness CT4 of the fourth lens satisfy: 1.4 < CT3 / CT4 < 2.5. Meeting the above conditions, by reasonably distributing the central thicknesses of the lenses, it is beneficial to improve the noise resistance of the optical lens, improve the production yield, and at the same time make the structure of the optical lens compact, realizing the miniaturization of the optical lens.

[0053] In some embodiments, the clear aperture semi-diameter DM11 of the light-emitting surface of the first lens and the clear aperture semi-diameter DM62 of the light-incident surface of the sixth lens satisfy: 0.72 < DM11 / DM62 < 0.85. Meeting the above conditions, by setting the aperture relationship of the first and last lenses in the lens, while ensuring that as much light as possible enters the system, the exit angle of the light is increased, better realizing the large viewing angle of the lens, thereby providing a larger eye movement range and a better immersive experience for the user.

[0054] In some embodiments, the overall optical length TTL of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1.3 < TTL / f < 1.7. Meeting the above conditions, the ratio of the overall length to the effective focal length of the optical lens can be reasonably controlled, making the optical lens have a shorter overall optical length and effectively reducing the system volume.

[0055] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the focal length f2 of the second lens satisfy: 0.3 < f1 / f2 < 1.6; the focal length f3 of the third lens and the focal length f4 of the fourth lens satisfy: -3 < f3 / f4 < -1.4. Meeting the above conditions, by reasonably setting the proportion of the focal lengths of the lenses in the lens, it is beneficial to the smooth transition of light, and at the same time correct various aberrations of the optical lens, improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0056] In some embodiments, the sum ∑CT of the central thicknesses along the optical axis of the first lens to the sixth lens and the overall optical length TTL of the optical lens satisfy: 0.65 < ∑CT / TTL < 0.8. Meeting the above conditions, by reasonably setting the sum of the overall lengths of the lenses, the overall length of the optical system can be effectively adjusted, and the exit pupil distance can be better distributed.

[0057] In some embodiments, the overall optical length TTL of the optical lens and the display area length IH of the image source that the optical lens can match satisfy: 1 < TTL / IH < 1.15. Meeting the above conditions, the overall optical length of the optical lens can be reasonably controlled, ensuring that the optical lens has a small volume while being able to match a larger-sized image source, improving the user's immersive experience.

[0058] In some embodiments, the optical lens satisfies the conditional formula: 35mm < TTL < 38mm, 24mm < f < 26mm, 33mm < IH < 34.5mm; where TTL represents the overall optical length of the optical lens, f represents the effective focal length of the optical lens, and IH represents the length of the display area of the image source that the optical lens can match. Meeting the above conditions indicates that the optical lens provided by the embodiments of the present invention has at least the characteristics of a long focal length and can match a large-size image source.

[0059] In some embodiments, the lens material in the optical lens provided by the present invention can be glass or plastic. When the lens material is plastic, the production cost can be effectively reduced. Additionally, when the lens material is glass, the geometric chromatic aberration of the optical system can be effectively corrected by the low dispersion characteristic of the glass itself. The first lens, the third lens, and the fifth lens of the present invention can be made of glass or plastic; the second lens can be made of glass; the fourth lens and the sixth lens can be made of plastic.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, and the sixth lens can adopt spherical lenses or aspherical lenses. Compared with the spherical structure, the aspherical structure can effectively reduce the aberration of the optical system, thereby reducing the number of lenses and the size of the lenses, and better realizing the miniaturization of the lens. More specifically, the second lens of the present invention can adopt an aspherical lens, and the first lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, and the sixth lens can all adopt spherical or aspherical lenses.

[0061] In various embodiments of the present invention, when the lens adopts an aspherical lens, the shapes of the aspherical surfaces of the optical lens satisfy the following equation:

[0062] ;

[0063] where z is the distance between the curved surface and the vertex of the curved surface in the optical axis direction, h is the distance from the optical axis to the curved surface, c is the curvature of the vertex of the curved surface, K is the conic coefficient, and B, C, D, E, F, G, H are the surface coefficients of the fourth order, sixth order, eighth order, tenth order, twelfth order, fourteenth order, and sixteenth order respectively.

[0064] In addition, the present invention also provides a near-eye display device, which sequentially includes, along the optical signal transmission direction: an image source, and the above-mentioned optical lens; the image source is used for emitting an optical signal, and the optical signal includes image information; the optical lens is disposed in the light-emitting direction of the image source, and the sixth lens is disposed closer to the image source than the first lens, and the optical lens is used for modulating the optical signal emitted by the image source and transmitting it to the human eye.

[0065] The present invention is further described below in multiple embodiments. In each embodiment, the thickness, radius of curvature, and material selection of each lens in the optical lens are different. For specific differences, please refer to the parameter table of each embodiment. The following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments. Any other changes, substitutions, combinations or simplifications that do not deviate from the innovative points of the present invention should be regarded as equivalent replacement methods and are included in the protection scope of the present invention.

The optical lens 100 is arranged in the light emitting direction of the image source 10, that is, the emitting surface of the image source 10 is the light emitting side of the optical signal. Figure 2 It can be seen that the optical lens 100 is sequentially provided with the following components along the reverse direction of light transmission (i.e., from the entrance pupil side of the human eye to the image source surface S13): the aperture ST, the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, the fifth lens L5 and the sixth lens L6. The first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, the fifth lens L5 and the sixth lens L6 each include a light entrance surface and a light exit surface, and the light entrance surface and the light exit surface are arranged on the surface of each lens opposite to each other. It can be understood that the surface of each lens close to the image source 10 is called the light entrance surface of the lens, and the surface of each lens close to the entrance pupil side of the human eye is called the light exit surface of the lens. The aperture is the entrance pupil of the imaging of this optical system, and the human eye is at the aperture position, so that the human eye can observe the best imaging effect.

The scale in the figure is 200 (unit: μm), the field of view angle (unit: degree) is shown above each figure, and the corresponding image height (unit: mm) is shown below. It can be seen from the figure that the root mean square radius of the diffuse spot within the 0.5 field of view is less than 8μm, and the root mean square radius of the diffuse spot in the full field of view is less than 12μm, indicating that the image quality of the optical lens 100 is good, the aberration is well corrected, and the diffuse spot is close to the diffraction limit.

It can be seen from the figure that the field curvature of the meridional image plane and the sagittal image plane is controlled within ±0.5mm, indicating that the optical lens 100 can correct the field curvature well.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 5, which is a graph of the MTF (modulation transfer function) of the optical lens 100, where the horizontal axis represents the spatial frequency (unit: lp / mm) and the vertical axis represents the modulation degree of the optical transfer function. It can be seen from the figure that the MTF value of the entire field of view is greater than 0.7 at 16lp / mm, and the curve is compact and falls smoothly, indicating that the optical lens 100 has good resolution and contrast, and the imaging at the edge position and the center position has good consistency.

[0131] In summary, the optical lens provided by the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0132] (1) Through specific surface shape settings and reasonable optical focal length distribution, the optical lens has a larger field of view (FOV ≥ 70°) and telephoto characteristics. The larger field of view can provide a wide field of view display effect, giving users a better experience. The lens has a telephoto characteristic, which can better present larger local details, making the picture more focused and compact, thus meeting the needs.

[0133] (2) The optical lens also has a larger image surface, smaller distortion (distortion within 3%) and higher resolution, which can match large-size image sources to achieve high-definition imaging, improve imaging quality, and bring users an excellent sensory experience.

The image information emitted from the image source 10 enters the human eye 20 through the optical lens to form an image, and the human eye 20 can observe a high-definition magnified virtual image, which has an extremely realistic sensory experience.

[0136] The image source 10 is used to emit a light signal, and the light signal includes image information. Specifically, the image source 10 can be one of a display screen such as Micro LED, OLED, LCD, LCOS, M-OLED, etc. More specifically, in this embodiment, the image source 10 can use a 1.3-inch Micro OLED display screen, which can provide high-definition image information for the optical lens.

[0137] The optical lens is arranged in the light emitting direction of the image source 10 , and the sixth lens in the optical lens is arranged closer to the image source 10 than the first lens. The optical lens is used to modulate the light signal emitted by the image source 10 and transmit it to the human eye 20 .

[0138] The near-eye display device 600 may be VR glasses, VR helmets, head-mounted display devices, etc. Since the above optical lens has a large field of view angle and telephoto characteristics, the large field of view angle can provide a wide field of view display effect, improve the user's sense of immersion, and thus bring a better experience to the user. The lens has a telephoto characteristic, which can better present larger local details, making the picture more focused and compact, thereby meeting the needs. At the same time, the optical lens also has a larger image surface and a higher resolution. The light signal image modulated by the optical lens is bright and clear, with better effects, and the picture projected to the human eye is clearer. Therefore, the near-eye display device equipped with the optical lens has at least the characteristics of a wide field of view and high image quality, which can effectively improve the user's visual experience and comfort.
