[0020] Further, the AR projection lens further comprises a phase plate between the fifth lens and the image plane chip.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application can be combined with each other without conflict, unless otherwise specified. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0039] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present application have the same meanings as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs.

[0040] In the present application, unless otherwise specified, 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; 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.

[0041] It should be noted that, in the present specification, the expressions of first, second, third, etc. are only used to distinguish one feature from another feature, 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.

[0042] 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 surface or aspherical surface shown in the drawings is shown by way of example. That is, the shape of the spherical surface or aspherical surface is not limited to the shape of the spherical surface or aspherical surface shown in the drawings. The drawings are merely examples and are not drawn strictly to scale.

[0043] In the present disclosure, the near-axis region refers to a 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 near-axis 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 near-axis region. The surface of each lens near the first side is referred to as the first side surface of the lens, and the surface of each lens near the second side is referred to as the second side surface of the lens. The judgment of the surface shape in the near-axis region can be based on the judgment method of a person skilled in the art. For the first side surface, when the R value (R refers to the radius of curvature in the near-axis region, usually refers to the R value in the lens data of the optical software) is positive, it is determined to be convex, and when the R value is negative, it is determined to be concave. For the second 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.

[0044] It should be noted that the left side of the AR projection lens is the first side, and the right side is the second side. The first side of the AR projection lens is the imaging side, and the second side is the image source side. The image emitted by the image source chip is imaged on the imaging plane on the imaging side.

[0045] In order to solve the problem of poor compactness of the AR projection lens in the prior art, the present application provides an AR projection lens and an AR device.

[0046] As shown in Figures 1 to 20 In an optional embodiment of the present application, the AR projection lens includes a first lens with negative optical power, the first side surface of the first lens is convex, and the second side surface is concave; a second lens with positive optical power, the first side surface of the second lens is convex, and the second side surface is convex; a third lens with negative optical power, the first side surface of the third lens is concave, and the second side surface is concave; a fourth lens with positive optical power, the first side surface of the fourth lens is concave, and the second side surface is convex; a prism; and a fifth lens with optical power. The distance T45 of the fourth lens and the fifth lens on the optical axis and the axial distance TD of the first side surface of the first lens to the second side surface of the fifth lens satisfy: 0.6>T45 / TD>0.4.

[0047] The AR projection lens of the present application is beneficial to adjusting the position of light rays through each lens, ensuring smooth transition of light rays, improving aberration, ensuring the optical performance of the AR projection lens, ensuring the projection effect, while being beneficial to matching the demand for small size, compressing the gap between each lens, and ensuring the compactness of the AR projection lens. In addition, it can effectively improve the tolerance of the image plane chip to the assembly position, reduce the insensitivity of the image plane chip to the defocus position change, and further improve the production yield and production efficiency. The length and volume of the prism part in the AR projection lens occupy a reasonable level in the entire AR projection lens, and the total system length and volume are small while avoiding the problems of light utilization, machining and assembly caused by the small prism, while avoiding the case of too large prism to increase the overall volume of the AR projection lens, which is beneficial to improving the structural compactness of the AR projection lens.

[0048] It should be noted that the focal length of the first lens is less than zero, the focal length of the second lens is greater than zero, the focal length of the third lens is less than zero, the focal length of the fourth lens is greater than zero, and the focal length of the fifth lens can be greater than zero or less than zero. By reasonably controlling the focal length of each lens, it is beneficial to control the imaging distance by controlling the light path, and to ensure smooth transition of light rays.

[0049] It should also be noted that the above prism is actually a polarization beam splitter prism to realize the beam splitting effect of light rays.

[0050] In the present embodiment, the radius of curvature R9 of the first side of the fifth lens and the radius of curvature R10 of the second side of the fifth lens satisfy: 0.31≤R9 / R10≤1.01. Satisfying this condition is beneficial to optimizing the light path of light rays through the fifth lens, correcting aberration, and improving imaging quality.

[0051] In the present embodiment, the effective focal length f2 of the second lens and the effective focal length f of the AR projection lens satisfy: 0.3<f2 / f<0.7. Satisfying this condition is beneficial to reasonably distributing the refractive power of the second lens, so that the refractive power of the second lens is not too large, while avoiding the sensitivity problem caused by the too concentrated refractive power of the lens, which is beneficial to the subsequent assembly of the AR projection lens.

[0052] In the embodiment, the third lens satisfies the condition: -1.2 < V3 / V4*f3 / f4 < -0.2. Satisfying the condition formula is conducive to correcting and balancing the chromatic aberration of the entire AR projection lens, and improving the clarity and color accuracy of imaging. The dispersion coefficient is the Abbe number.

[0053] In the embodiment, the first lens satisfies the condition: 0.4 < V1 / V2*R2 / R3 < 1.18. Satisfying the condition formula can balance the chromatic aberration of the system, reduce the imaging blur caused by dispersion, and ensure clear imaging.

[0054] In the embodiment, the first lens satisfies the condition: 1.4 < (N1+N2+N3) / (N4+N5) < 1.9. Satisfying the condition formula is conducive to avoiding the case that the refractive index of the last two lenses in the AR projection lens, i.e., the fourth lens and the fifth lens, is too high at the same time, avoiding high dispersion and serious chromatic aberration, and being conducive to mutual correction of the chromatic aberration of the entire system, improving the clarity and color accuracy of imaging.

[0055] In the embodiment, the effective focal length f of the AR projection lens and the entrance pupil diameter epd of the AR projection lens satisfy the condition: 1.8 < f / epd < 2.6. Such a setting makes the aperture number of the AR projection lens greater than 1.8, which is conducive to ensuring that the imaging quality is at a relatively good level, while limiting the light flux, so that the illumination intensity of the optical system is within an acceptable range.

[0056] In the embodiment, the entrance pupil diameter epd of the AR projection lens and half of the maximum length Imgh of the chip diagonal of the image plane satisfy the condition: 1.4 < epd / Imgh < 1.6. Satisfying the condition formula is conducive to making the entrance pupil diameter of the AR projection lens relatively large, and improving the light energy utilization rate of the entire optical system.

[0057] In the embodiment, the effective focal length f3 of the third lens, the curvature radius R5 of the first side of the third lens, and the curvature radius R6 of the second side of the third lens satisfy the condition: -0.46 < < f3 / (R5+R6) < 1, and f3 / (R5+R6) is not equal to 0. By limiting the relationship between the optical power and the curvature radius of the third lens, it is conducive to ensuring the process machinability of the third lens, reducing the manufacturing cost, and improving the durability and reliability of the third lens.

[0058] In the embodiment, the effective focal length f5 of the fifth lens and the central thickness CT5 of the fifth lens on the optical axis satisfy: -82.38≤f5 / CT5≤223.99, and f5 / CT5 is not equal to 0. By limiting the relationship between the effective focal length and the central thickness of the fifth lens, the positive focal power of the rear part of the AR projection lens is not concentrated on one lens, the assembly sensitivity is reduced, and the degree of lens bending is easier to manufacture in the process.

[0059] In the embodiment, the on-axis distance SAG12 between the intersection of the second side surface of the first lens and the optical axis and the effective radius vertex of the second side surface of the first lens and the central thickness CT1 of the first lens on the optical axis satisfy: 0.4<SAG12 / CT1<2. Satisfying the condition formula is conducive to limiting the degree of meniscus shape of the first lens, conducive to the processing and manufacturing of the first lens, and also conducive to the more compact structure of the head part of the AR projection lens.

[0060] In the embodiment, the refractive index of at least two lenses among the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens and the fifth lens is greater than 1.8 and less than 2.5. Satisfying the condition formula is conducive to shortening the total length of the optical system, thereby reducing the volume, and the use of two lenses is also conducive to correcting the system chromatic aberration of different colors in the optical system and improving the imaging quality.

[0061] In the embodiment, the AR projection lens further comprises a phase plate, and the phase plate is located between the fifth lens and the image plane chip. The phase plate is a flat plate, and the phase plate is placed between the fifth lens and the image plane chip. The arrangement enables the phase plate to change the phase of the light, which helps to reduce aberration, increase image clarity, reduce the structural complexity of the AR projection lens, and improve system flexibility. In actual assembly, the phase plate and the image plane chip can be glued together to facilitate high-precision assembly of the phase plate and ensure imaging performance.

[0062] In the embodiment, the AR projection lens further comprises a diaphragm, and the diaphragm is located on the first side of the first lens. Placing the diaphragm on the imaging side of the AR projection lens is conducive to controlling the imaging size and ensuring the brightness and clarity of the image.

[0063] According to another aspect of the present application, an AR device is provided, which comprises the AR projection lens described above. The AR device equipped with the AR projection lens described above can be miniaturized and has compact structure.

[0064] The specific surface shape and parameters of the AR projection lens applicable to the above embodiments are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
