The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0056] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs.

[0057] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs.

[0058] In the present application, unless otherwise specified, the orientation words such as "up, down, 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, outer" refers 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.

[0059] 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.​​​

[0060] In the drawings, the thickness, size, and shape of the lenses have been slightly exaggerated for ease of explanation. Specifically, the shape of the spherical or aspherical surface shown in the drawings is shown by way of example. That is, the shape of the spherical or aspherical surface is not limited to the shape of the spherical or aspherical surface shown in the drawings. The drawings are merely examples and are not strictly drawn to scale.

[0061] In this document, the paraxial 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 paraxial 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 paraxial region. The surface of each lens near the first side is the first side surface of the lens, and the surface of each lens near the second side is the second side surface of the lens. The judgment of the surface shape in the paraxial region can be based on the judgment method of those skilled in the art, with the R value (R refers to the radius of curvature in the paraxial region, usually refers to the R value on the lens data in the optical software) to judge the convexity and concavity. In terms of the first side surface, when the R value is positive, it is determined to be convex, and when the R value is negative, it is determined to be concave; in terms of 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.

[0062] It should be noted that the left side of the first optical system is the first side, and the right side is the second side. The first side of the first optical system is the human eye side, and the second side is the display side. The image emitted by the display side is imaged on the human eye side. The left side of the second optical system is the first side, and the right side is the second side. The first side of the second optical system is the object side, and the second side is the image side.

[0063] In order to solve the problems of large volume and small field of view of the perspective system in the prior art, a virtual reality system is provided.

[0064] As Figures 1 to 26 shown, in an optional embodiment of the present application.

[0065] The virtual reality system comprises a first optical system and a second optical system which cooperate with each other, wherein the first optical system comprises, in sequence along a first optical axis direction, a first lens group, a second lens group and a third lens group, the first lens group is composed of a first lens and a reflective polarizing element attached to the first lens, the second lens group is composed of a second lens and a quarter-wave plate attached to the second lens, and the third lens group is composed of a third lens; the second optical system comprises, in sequence along a second optical axis, a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens and a sixth lens; when an effective focal length f2' of the second lens group of the first optical system and an effective focal length f' of the first optical system satisfy |f2'|>|f'|, an on-axis distance TD' from a first side of the first lens of the first optical system to a second side of the last lens, an air gap T12' of the first lens and the second lens of the first optical system on the first optical axis, and an air gap T23' of the second lens and the third lens of the first optical system on the first optical axis satisfy 7<TD' / (T12'+T23')<12, and an effective focal length f1' of the first lens group of the first optical system and an effective focal length f1 of the first lens of the second optical system satisfy -44<f1' / f1<-26.

[0066] The first optical system and the second optical system are used in cooperation, in the present application, the first optical system is a visual system, and the second optical system is a see-through system. The first optical system is composed of three lenses, the light path is refracted and reflected by attaching a reflective polarizing element to the first lens and a quarter-wave plate to the second lens of the first optical system, the length of the light path is shortened, thereby the overall length of the first optical system is compressed, the small size of the virtual reality system is realized, and miniaturization is achieved. The second optical system is composed of six lenses, by controlling the above condition formula, the optical power of the first lens of the second optical system is ensured to be negative, which is conducive to increasing the field of view angle of the system. In addition, by controlling the above condition formula, the optical power of each lens of the first optical system and the second optical system is reasonably distributed, which is conducive to improving the aberration of the system; at the same time, the air gap between the adjacent lenses of the first optical system and the on-axis distance from the first side of the first lens to the second side of the last lens are controlled, which is conducive to shortening the total length of the first optical system and making the virtual reality system light and thin; in addition, the focal length of the first optical system is controlled, so that the effective focal length of the first optical system is small, thereby the field of view angle of the first optical system is increased, which is conducive to increasing the immersive experience of the user.

[0067] In the present embodiment, the first optical system has a diaphragm which is arranged at the first side of the first lens group. By arranging the diaphragm at the first side of the first lens group, the converging imaging of the imaging light at the first side is facilitated.

[0068] In the embodiment, the second optical system has an aperture stop, which is arranged between the first lens and the second lens. By arranging the aperture stop between the first lens and the second lens close to the first side, the convergence of the light rays is facilitated, and the light ray trend is adjusted, and the smoothness of the light ray trend is facilitated.

[0069] It should be noted that the reflective polarizing element described above can be arranged on the first side of the first lens or on the second side of the first lens, and can be arranged according to actual conditions. The quarter-wave plate described above can be arranged on the first side of the second lens or on the second side of the second lens, and can be arranged according to actual conditions.

[0070] In the embodiment, the maximum field of view FOV of the second optical system and the maximum field of view FOV' of the first optical system satisfy: 1.0 < FOV / FOV' < 1.2. By controlling the ratio between the maximum field of view FOV of the second optical system and the maximum field of view FOV' of the first optical system, the maximum field of view of the second optical system is greater than the maximum field of view of the first optical system, which facilitates increasing the maximum field of view of the second optical system, so that the user can see a wider real world.

[0071] In the embodiment, the entrance pupil diameter EPD' of the first optical system and the entrance pupil diameter EPD of the second optical system satisfy: 4.5 < EPD' / EPD < 6.0. By controlling the ratio between the entrance pupil diameter of the first optical system and the entrance pupil diameter of the second optical system, the entrance pupil diameter of the first optical system is greater than the entrance pupil diameter of the second optical system, which facilitates increasing the luminous flux of the first optical system, thereby increasing the brightness of the image.

[0072] In the embodiment, the curvature radius R4' of the second side of the second lens of the second lens group and the effective focal length f2' of the second lens group of the first optical system satisfy: -6.5 < R4' / f2' < -2.5. By controlling the ratio between the curvature radius of the second side of the second lens of the first optical system and the effective focal length of the second lens group of the first optical system, the shape of the second lens is reasonably controlled, which facilitates the forming and processing of the second lens, and at the same time makes the curvature of the second lens smaller, which facilitates the attachment of the quarter-wave plate.

[0073] In the embodiment, the effective focal length f' of the first optical system, the effective focal length f3 of the third lens of the second optical system, and the effective focal length f4 of the fourth lens of the second optical system satisfy: 4.7 < f' / f4 + f' / f3 < 6.4. Satisfying this condition formula reasonably distributes the optical power, so that the effective focal length of the first optical system is larger, and the effective focal length of the second optical system is smaller, which controls the screen size of the first optical system while controlling the field of view of the second optical system.

[0074] In the embodiment, the effective focal length f' of the first optical system, the effective focal length f2 of the second lens of the second optical system, and the effective focal length f3 of the third lens of the second optical system satisfy 4.8 < f' / (f2 + f3) < 6.2. Satisfying the condition, the height of the light ray passing through the reflective polarizing element in the first optical system is compressed, which is conducive to reducing the size of the screen, reducing the weight of the head-mounted device, and realizing miniaturization; the height of the light ray passing through the second lens and the third lens in the second optical system is increased, which meets the requirement of CRA.

[0075] In the embodiment, the axial distance TD from the first side of the first lens of the second optical system to the second side of the last lens, and the maximum value CTmax of the center thickness of all the lenses of the second optical system on the second optical axis satisfy 5.9 < TD / CTmax < 6.6.

Satisfying the condition formula can control the refraction angle of light passing through the first lens, facilitate the convergence of the outer field of view light, and thereby improve the imaging quality.

[0102] In the embodiment, the effective focal length f5 of the fifth lens of the second optical system and the refractive index N5 of the fifth lens of the second optical system satisfy: 2.4 < |f5 / N5| < 3.8.

By reasonably setting the first optical system and the second optical system, the virtual reality system of the present application can be applied in a head-mounted or portable VR device.

[0106] In the present application, at least one of the surfaces of each lens is an aspheric mirror surface. The aspheric lens has the characteristic that the curvature continuously changes from the center of the lens to the periphery of the lens. Unlike a spherical lens which has a constant curvature from the center of the lens to the periphery of the lens, the aspheric lens has a better curvature radius characteristic, which has the advantages of improving the distortion aberration and improving the astigmatism aberration. After using the aspheric lens, the aberration that occurs during imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, thereby improving the imaging quality.

[0107] Since the aspheric surface is obtained by rotating a meridional surface around the optical axis for one revolution, the structure has rotational symmetry, and in an ideal optical system, the aberrations of the meridional surface and the sagittal surface can be well corrected; at the same time, due to its unique lens model, it can provide sufficient space for subsequent related adjustment, making the related structure and assembly process more flexible and not reducing too much imaging quality.

[0108] However, those skilled in the art should understand that the number of lenses constituting the virtual reality system can be changed without departing from the technical solutions claimed by the present application, to obtain the various results and advantages described in the present specification. For example, although the first optical system is described by taking three lenses as an example in the embodiments, and the second optical system is described by taking six lenses as an example, the virtual reality system is not limited to comprising the above number of lenses. If necessary, the virtual reality system can further comprise other number of lenses.
