DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0038] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present 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.
[0039] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meanings as commonly understood by ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs.
[0040] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the directional words used, such as "up, down, top, bottom", usually refer to the directions shown in the drawings, or to the components themselves in the vertical, perpendicular or gravity directions; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself, but the above-mentioned directional words are not used to limit the present invention.
[0041] It should be noted that in this 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, without departing from the teaching of the present application, the first lens discussed below may also be referred to as the second lens or the third lens.
[0042] In the drawings, the thickness, size and shape of the lenses have been slightly exaggerated for ease of illustration. Specifically, the shapes of the spherical or aspherical surfaces shown in the drawings are shown by way of example. That is, the shapes of the spherical or aspherical surfaces are not limited to the shapes of the spherical or aspherical surfaces shown in the drawings. The drawings are for illustration only and are not drawn strictly to scale.
[0043] In this article, the paraxial area refers to the area near the optical axis. If the lens surface is convex and the position of the convex surface is not defined, it means that the lens surface is convex at least in the paraxial area; if the lens surface is concave and the position of the concave surface is not defined, it means that the lens surface is concave at least in the paraxial area. The judgment of the surface shape in the paraxial area can be based on the judgment method of ordinary knowledgeable people in this field, and the positive and negative R value (R refers to the radius of curvature of the paraxial area, usually refers to the R value on the lens database (lens data) in the optical software) is used to judge the convexity and concavity. For the eye-side surface, when the R value is positive, it is judged as a convex surface, and when the R value is negative, it is judged as a concave surface; for the display-side surface, when the R value is positive, it is judged as a concave surface, and when the R value is negative, it is judged as a convex surface.
[0044] In order to solve the problem in the prior art that it is difficult to achieve a balance between high image quality, a large field of view and miniaturization in a VR visual system, the present invention provides a VR visual system.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 19As shown, the VR visual system sequentially includes a first optical element, a second optical element, and a third optical element from the viewing side to the display side. The VR visual system further includes a plurality of spacer elements and a barrel. The first optical element at least includes a first lens; the second optical element at least includes a second lens; the third optical element at least includes a third lens. The Abbe numbers of the first lens, the second lens, and the third lens are all greater than 60. The first lens, the second lens, and the third lens each have an ocular surface away from the light source and a display surface close to the light source. At least one of the ocular surfaces or display surfaces of the first lens, the second lens, and the third lens has a partial reflection layer; the plurality of spacer elements at least includes a first spacer element, and the first spacer element is adjacent to the display surface of the second lens and at least partially abuts; the first optical element to the third optical element and the plurality of spacer elements are all accommodated in the barrel; wherein, the clearance distance ET23 from the maximum effective diameter edge of the display surface of the second lens to the maximum effective diameter edge of the ocular surface of the third lens satisfies: 0.5mm < ET23 < 0.7mm; the axial distance EP01 from the ocular surface of the barrel to the ocular surface of the first spacer element and the effective focal length f of the VR visual system satisfy: 0 < EP01 / f < 0.8; the inner diameter d1m of the display surface of the first spacer element, the effective focal length f of the VR visual system, and half of the maximum field of view Semi-FOV of the VR visual system satisfy: 0.5 < (d1m / 2) / (f * tan(Semi-FOV)) < 1.
[0047] This application provides a VR visual system with three optical elements. By controlling the effective focal length, field of view, inner diameter of the spacer element, the spacing from the barrel, the Abbe number of the lens, and the spacing of the effective diameter edges of the lens of the VR visual system, the internal light beam path of the VR visual system is constrained, the refraction of the edge light path is controlled, the generation of stray light is reduced, the imaging quality is improved, the field of view of the VR visual system meets the usage requirements, the user's usage immersion is ensured, and at the same time, the thickness of the three lenses in the optical axis direction is controlled at a reasonable level, so that the height of the VR visual system is at a reasonable level, which is beneficial to miniaturization.
[0048] This application also improves the assembly stability of the second lens by at least partially abutting the first spacer element against the second lens. Further, by controlling the inner diameter of the display surface of the first spacer element, its processing feasibility is ensured.
[0049] Preferably, the clearance distance ET23 from the maximum effective diameter edge of the display surface of the second lens to the maximum effective diameter edge of the ocular surface of the third lens satisfies: 0.51mm < ET23 < 0.68mm.
[0050] Preferably, the on-axis distance EP01 from the ocular-side surface of the lens barrel to the ocular-side surface of the first spacer element and the effective focal length f of the VR visual system satisfy: 0.2 < EP01 / f < 0.7.
[0051] Preferably, the inner diameter d1m of the display-side surface of the first spacer element, the effective focal length f of the VR visual system, and half of the maximum field of view Semi-FOV of the VR visual system satisfy: 0.6 < (d1m / 2) / (f * tan(Semi-FOV)) < 0.9.
[0052] In this embodiment, the third optical element further includes a reflective polarizing element and a quarter-wave plate. The display-side surface of the quarter-wave plate is at least partially in contact with the ocular-side surface of the third lens, and the ocular-side surface of the quarter-wave plate is at least partially in contact with the display-side surface of the reflective polarizing element. Through the reflective polarizing element and the quarter-wave plate included in the third optical element, in cooperation with the partial reflective layer on the third lens, the folding back of the optical path is achieved. In the case of obtaining the same FOV, the height of the VR visual system is reduced, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the VR device and improves the possibility of long-term wearing by users. At the same time, by at least partially contacting the display-side surface of the reflective polarizing element with the ocular-side surface of the quarter-wave plate, one-time film pasting is achieved, reducing the number of film pasting processes and improving production efficiency. At the same time, one-time planar film pasting reduces the difficulty of film pasting and improves the feasibility of process processing.
[0053] In this embodiment, a partial reflective layer is provided on the display-side surface of the third lens, and the ocular-side surface of the third lens is a plane. The partial reflective layer is deposited on the display-side surface of the third lens, enabling the light rays first reflected by the reflective polarizing element to be secondarily reflected, thus achieving the folding back of the optical path. In the case of obtaining the same field of view, the distance of the optical path along the optical axis direction is shortened. At the same time, since the ocular-side surface of the third lens is a plane, it provides a support for the quarter-wave plate, and the process difficulty is reduced through planar film pasting, improving the production yield.
[0054] In this embodiment, the on-axis distance TD from the ocular-side surface of the first lens to the display-side surface of the third lens, the on-axis distance EP01 from the ocular-side surface of the lens barrel to the ocular-side surface of the first spacer, and the maximum length L from the ocular-side surface of the lens barrel to the display-side surface of the lens barrel satisfy: 2 < TD / EP01 + TD / L < 4. By restricting TD / EP01 + TD / L within a reasonable range, it is beneficial to the molding of the lens barrel and also beneficial to controlling the height of the VR visual system, keeping the height of the VR visual system at a reasonable level and being beneficial to the miniaturization of the VR visual system. Preferably, 2.5 < TD / EP01 + TD / L < 3.5.

By restricting f / (D1s - d1s) within a reasonable range, the effective focal length of the VR visual system is controlled, and the aberration of the system is at a reasonable level, which is beneficial to the imaging of the system. At the same time, by controlling the outer diameter and inner diameter of the ocular-side surface of the first spacer element, on the basis of ensuring its machinability, the light flux of the VR visual system is controlled, and the field of view angle of the VR visual system is at a reasonable level. Preferably, 1.5 < f / (D1s - d1s) < 4.5.
[0056] In this embodiment, the on-axis distance EP01 from the ocular-side surface of the lens barrel to the ocular-side surface of the first spacer, the central thickness CT1 of the first lens, and the central thickness CT2 of the second lens satisfy: 1 < EP01 / (CT1 + CT2) < 2. By restricting EP01 / (CT1 + CT2) within a reasonable range, the on-axis distance from the ocular-side surface of the lens barrel to the ocular-side surface of the first spacer is controlled, and the front-segment wall thickness of the lens barrel is at a reasonable level, which not only ensures its processing feasibility but also provides sufficient strength support for the stacking and assembly of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the quarter-wave plate, and the reflective polarizing element. Preferably, 1.2 < EP01 / (CT1 + CT2) < 1.8.
[0057] In this embodiment, the outer diameter D0s of the ocular-side surface of the lens barrel, the inner diameter d0s of the ocular-side surface of the lens barrel, the maximum length L from the ocular-side surface of the lens barrel to the display-side surface of the lens barrel, and the effective focal length f of the VR visual system satisfy: -10 < (D0s - d0s) / (L - f) < 5. By restricting (D0s - d0s) / (L - f) within a reasonable range, the optical power of the VR visual system is controlled, which is beneficial to improving the imaging quality. Combining the control of the maximum length from the ocular-side surface of the lens barrel to the display-side surface of the lens barrel and the inner and outer diameters of the ocular-side surface of the lens barrel is beneficial to beam constraint, obtaining a large field of view FOV, and is beneficial to improving the user experience. Preferably, -9.5 < (D0s - d0s) / (L - f) < 4.5.

By restricting EPD / (T23 - CP1) within a reasonable range, the entrance pupil diameter of the VR visual system is controlled to meet ergonomics, which is beneficial to the immersive experience of the VR device. At the same time, by controlling the on-axis distance from the display-side surface of the second lens to the ocular-side surface of the third lens, the center thickness of the second lens is at a reasonable level, so that the diopter of the second lens meets the design requirements. At the same time, by controlling the center thickness of the first spacer element, the abutting requirements of the first lens and the second lens are met while ensuring its processability.

On the basis of ensuring its processability, it is beneficial to control the aperture at the front end of the VR visual system, facilitating the assembly of the module. At the same time, restricting the radius of curvature of the display-side surface of the first lens and the radius of curvature of the ocular-side surface of the second lens is beneficial to reducing the sensitivity of the first lens and the second lens and improving the yield of assembly.

[0074] The present application provides a VR visual system with three optical elements. By controlling the effective focal length, field of view angle, inner diameter of the spacing element, Abbe number of the lens, length of the optical element, and center thickness of the third lens of the VR visual system, the internal beam path and beam diameter of the VR visual system are constrained, so that the aperture of the system is at a reasonable level. At the same time, the refraction of the edge light path is controlled, the generation of stray light is reduced, the imaging quality is improved, the field of view angle of the VR visual system meets the use requirements, and the user's immersion is guaranteed. At the same time, the thickness of the three lenses in the optical axis direction is controlled at a reasonable level, so that the height of the VR visual system is at a reasonable level, which is conducive to miniaturization.
[0075] The present application also improves the assembly stability of the second lens by at least partially supporting the first spacing element and further ensures the processing feasibility by controlling the inner diameter of the display side surface of the first spacing element.
[0076] Preferably, the inner diameter d1m of the display side surface of the first spacing element, the effective focal length f of the VR visual system, and half of the maximum field of view Semi-FOV of the VR visual system satisfy the following relationship: 0.6<(d1m / 2) / (f*tan(Semi-FOV))<0.9.

[0078] This embodiment may also include other parameter formulas in the first embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.
[0079] The VR visual system in this application may use multiple lenses, such as the three lenses mentioned above. By reasonably allocating the effective focal length, surface shape, center thickness of each lens, and axial distance between lenses, etc., the aperture of the VR visual system can be effectively increased, the sensitivity of the lens can be reduced, and the processability of the lens can be improved, making the VR visual system more conducive to production and processing and applicable to portable electronic devices such as smartphones.
[0080] In the present application, at least one lens has an aspherical mirror surface. The characteristic of an aspherical lens is that the curvature changes continuously from the center of the lens to the periphery of the lens. Unlike a spherical lens having a constant curvature from the center of the lens to the periphery of the lens, an aspherical lens has a better curvature radius characteristic, and has the advantages of improving distortion aberration and improving astigmatism aberration. After using an aspherical lens, the aberration occurring during imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, thereby improving the imaging quality.
[0081] However, those skilled in the art should understand that, without departing from the technical solution claimed in the present application, the number of lenses constituting the VR visual system can be changed to obtain the various results and advantages described in this specification. For example, although three lenses are described as an example in the embodiment, the VR visual system is not limited to including three lenses. If necessary, the VR visual system may also include other numbers of lenses.

[0145] Embodiment 8
[0146] The difference from the seventh embodiment is that the parameters of the lens barrel P0 and the spacer element are different.
[0147] like Fig.18 As shown, the VR visual system of the eighth embodiment of the present application is described. For the sake of brevity, some descriptions similar to the seventh embodiment will be omitted.
[0148] The parameters of the VR visual system in Example 8 to Example 7, such as the radius of curvature, center thickness, and the spacing distance between the lenses, and the high-order image coefficients are the same, as shown in Table 5 and Table 6, but the parameters such as the lens barrel P0, the thickness of the spacing element, the inner diameter of the spacing element, the outer diameter of the spacing element, and the distance between the spacing elements are different. In other words, the main structure for imaging is the same, but the auxiliary structure for imaging is different. Therefore, the imaging quality of the VR visual system in this embodiment is as follows: Figures 15 to 17 shown.
[0149] Embodiment 9
[0150] The difference from the seventh embodiment is that the parameters of the lens barrel P0 and the spacer element are different.
[0151] like Fig.19 As shown, the VR visual system of the ninth embodiment of the present application is described. For the sake of brevity, some descriptions similar to those of the seventh embodiment will be omitted.
[0152] The parameters of the VR visual system in Example 9 to Example 7, such as the radius of curvature, center thickness, and the spacing distance between the lenses, and the high-order image coefficients are the same, as shown in Table 5 and Table 6, but the parameters such as the lens barrel P0, the thickness of the spacing element, the inner diameter of the spacing element, the outer diameter of the spacing element, and the distance between the spacing elements are different. In other words, the main structure for imaging is the same, but the auxiliary structure for imaging is different. Therefore, the imaging quality of the VR visual system in this embodiment is as follows: Figures 15 to 17 shown.
[0153] In summary, in the above-mentioned embodiments 1 to 9, the reflective polarizing element ERP, the quarter-wave plate EQWP and the third lens E3 are bonded together to form a third optical element, that is, the display side surface of the reflective polarizing element and the eye side surface of the quarter-wave plate are both S6, and the display side surface of the quarter-wave plate and the eye side surface of the third lens are both S7.
[0154] Combine the following Figure 2The direction of the light emitted by the light source S9 is described. The light emitted by the light source S9 passes through the display side surface S8 of the third lens and the eye side surface S7 of the third lens in sequence, and then enters the display side surface S7 of the quarter wave plate. The quarter wave plate converts the light into a light of a first polarization state. The light of the first polarization state enters the display side surface S6 of the reflective polarizing element and is reflected to form a first reflected light. The first reflected light enters the eye side surface S6 of the quarter wave plate. The quarter wave plate converts the first reflected light into a light of a second polarization state. The light of the second polarization state passes through the eye side surface S7 of the third lens and reaches the display side surface S7 of the third lens. 8, and is reflected by a partial reflection layer on the display side surface S8 of the third lens to form a second reflected light, the second reflected light is incident on the display side surface S7 of the quarter-wave plate, the quarter-wave plate converts the second reflected light into a light of a third polarization state, the light of the third polarization state is incident on the display side surface S6 of the reflective polarizing element, and is transmitted by the display side surface S6 of the reflective polarizing element, the transmitted light passes through the eye side surface S5 of the reflective polarizing element, the display side surface S4 of the second lens, the eye side surface S3 of the second lens, the display side surface S2 of the first lens, the eye side surface S1 of the first lens in sequence, and then is emitted to the aperture STO.
[0155] It should be noted that, in the process of the light of the first polarization state being converted into the light of the third polarization state, it passes through the quarter wave plate twice, so that the polarization direction of the light of the first polarization state is perpendicular to the polarization direction of the light of the third polarization state, so the reflective polarizing element reflects the light of the first polarization state and transmits the light of the third polarization state. In summary, Examples 1 to 9 respectively satisfy the relationship shown in Table 7.
