[0053] In the field of XR (eXtended Reality) technology, the glasses module as an important carrier of XR technology, the design and the degree of perfection of its function directly determines the user experience. According to the degree of integration, the glasses module is mainly divided into two categories: split type and integrated type. The split type glasses module separates the power supply and driving function modules from the glasses body, effectively solving the power supply problem. However, the resulting wire dragging phenomenon greatly reduces the convenience and comfort of wearing, and cannot meet the high requirements of users for wearing. In contrast, the integrated glasses module integrates the functional modules and the glasses body in one, successfully avoiding the problem of wire dragging. However, the dual light source module on the glasses consumes a lot of power, which requires a large capacity battery to support, which leads to an increase in the weight of the glasses, making the wearer's head burden heavier, thereby seriously affecting the wearer's wearing experience.
[0054] To solve the technical defects of the above-mentioned existing glasses module that the large-capacity battery required by the dual light source configuration leads to an increase in the weight of the whole glasses, the present application provides a glasses module and an extended reality device.
[0055] The embodiments of the present application provide a glasses module, referring to Figure 1 , as shown in Figure 1is a structure block diagram of a glasses module involved in the first embodiment of the present application. The glasses module comprises a waveguide lens 100 and an optical engine module 200, the optical engine module comprising a light source 10, a light splitting assembly 20, a left polarized beam splitting element 30 and a right polarized beam splitting element 40, the light source 10 being arranged towards the light splitting assembly 20, the light splitting assembly 20 being arranged between the left polarized beam splitting element 30 and the right polarized beam splitting element 40, a left light exit surface of the left polarized beam splitting element 30 being arranged towards a left eye area of the waveguide lens 100, and a right light exit surface of the right polarized beam splitting element 40 being arranged towards a right eye area of the waveguide lens 100.
[0056] In the present embodiment, the glasses module provided by the present application can be understood as an XR glasses, which can be an AR (Augmented Reality) technology, a VR (Virtual Reality) technology, and an MR (Mixed Reality) technology, or a combination of one or more of the above technologies. For example, referring to Figure 1 In the optical engine module 200, the light source 10 is arranged towards the light splitting assembly 20, and the light splitting assembly 20 is arranged between the left polarized beam splitting element 30 and the right polarized beam splitting element 40. The incident light of the single light source 10 is split by the light splitting assembly 20 to form Figure 1 a first polarized light S represented by the solid arrow shown in the figure and Figure 2 a second polarized light P represented by the dashed arrow shown in the figure. Next, when the first polarized light S is converted into the second polarized light P by the polarization conversion surface of the left polarized beam splitting element 30 and is guided to the left eye area of the waveguide lens 100 towards the left light exit surface of the left polarized beam splitting element 30, the second polarized light P projected by the light splitting assembly 20 is projected to the right eye area of the waveguide lens 100 towards the right light exit surface of the right polarized beam splitting element 40 through the right polarized beam splitting element 40, so as to meet the visual display requirements of both eyes by using only one light source 10. That is, the present application reduces the power consumption of the glasses module by splitting the single light source 10 through the light splitting assembly 20, thereby reducing the dependence on large-capacity batteries and further reducing the weight of the glasses module, and thus significantly improving the wearing experience of the user.
[0057] The light source 10 is split into the first polarized light S and the second polarized light P by the light splitting assembly 20, the first polarized light S is converted into the second polarized light P by the polarization conversion surface of the left polarized beam splitting element 20 and is projected to the left eye area towards the left light exit surface, and the second polarized light P is projected to the right eye area towards the right light exit surface through the right polarized beam splitting element 40.
[0058] In the embodiment, after the incident light of the light source 10 is projected to the light splitting surface of the light splitting assembly 20, the incident light is split into the first polarized light S and the second polarized light P which are perpendicular to each other, then the first polarized light S is converted into the second polarized light P by the polarization conversion surface of the left polarization beam splitter 30, and is guided to the left eye area of the waveguide lens 100 which is oriented by the left light output surface of the left polarization beam splitter 30; at this time, the second polarized light P is projected to the right eye area of the waveguide lens 100 which is oriented by the right light output surface of the right polarization beam splitter 40. That is, the light splitting of the light source 10 by the light splitting assembly 20 enables the glasses module provided by the application to meet the visual requirements of both eyes by the action of a single light source 10, avoiding the phenomenon that the weight of the whole glasses increases due to the need of a large-capacity battery for the configuration of the traditional glasses module with double light sources 10, thereby realizing the reduction of the demand for the capacity of the battery by reducing the power consumption of the glasses module, significantly reducing the weight of the glasses module, and greatly improving the wearing experience of the user.
[0059] It should be noted that the first polarized light S can be understood as S polarized light, which is a polarized light with the electric field vibration direction perpendicular to the light propagation direction of the incident light; the second polarized light P can be understood as P polarized light, which is a polarized light with the electric field vibration direction the same as the light propagation direction of the incident light.
[0060] In summary, the glasses module and the extended reality device provided by the application integrate the waveguide lens 100 and the light machine module 200, and encapsulate the light splitting assembly 20 in the light machine module 200 to accurately split the single light source 10 arranged towards the light splitting assembly 20 into the first polarized light S and the second polarized light P, thereby replacing the configuration of the traditional double light machine module and effectively reducing the energy consumption of the light source 10; next, since the left polarization beam splitter 30 and the right polarization beam splitter 40 are arranged on the two sides of the light splitting assembly 20, when the first polarized light P is converted into the second polarized light S by the polarization conversion surface of the left polarization beam splitter 30 and is guided to the left eye area of the waveguide lens 100 which is oriented by the left light output surface of the left polarization beam splitter 30, the second polarized light S projected by the light splitting assembly 20 is projected to the right eye area of the waveguide lens 100 which is oriented by the right light output surface of the right polarization beam splitter 40 by the right polarization beam splitter 40, thereby realizing the visual display requirements of both eyes by using only one light source 10. That is, the light splitting of the single light source 10 by the light splitting assembly 20 significantly reduces the power consumption of the glasses module, reduces the dependence on large-capacity batteries, and thereby reduces the overall weight of the glasses module, greatly improving the wearing experience of the user.
[0061] Further, in some possible embodiments, with reference to Figure 2 , Figure 2is the optical principle diagram of the glasses module involved in the first embodiment of the present application. The left polarization beam splitting component 30 comprises a left relay lens 31, a left polarization light splitting module 32, a left lens 33 and a left modulation screen 34; the left relay lens 31 and the left lens 33 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the left polarization light splitting module 32, the left relay lens 31 is arranged towards the left reflecting mirror surface of the light splitting assembly, the left lens 33 is arranged with the left modulation screen 34 on the side away from the left polarization light splitting module 32, the left light exit surface of the left polarization light splitting module 32 constitutes the left light exit surface of the left polarization beam splitting component 30 and is arranged towards the left eye area of the waveguide lens; the first polarized light is projected to the phase conversion surface of the left polarization light splitting module 32 through the optical path of the left reflecting mirror surface to the left relay lens 31 and is converted into the second polarized light, the second polarized light is converged to the left modulation screen 34 through the left lens 33 and is modulated into the polarized image light, the polarized image light is the first polarized light carrying the projection light image of the light source; the polarized image light passes through the left modulation screen 34, passes through the left lens 33, is projected to the left light splitting surface of the left polarization light splitting module 32, is reflected to the phase delay surface of the left polarization light splitting module 32 through the left light splitting surface, is twice phase delayed into the second polarized light after the phase delay surface, passes through the left light splitting surface and is projected to the left eye area towards the left light exit surface; wherein the phase delay surface of the left polarization light splitting module 32 is the polarization conversion surface of the left polarization beam splitting component 30.
[0062] In the present embodiment, with reference to Figure 2 , the left relay lens 31 converges the first polarized light S projected by the left reflecting mirror surface of the light splitting assembly 20, perpendicularly projects the converged first polarized light S to the phase conversion surface of the left polarization light splitting module 32, after the phase conversion surface delays the phase of the first polarized light S by π / 2 times to become the second polarized light P, projects to the left lens 33 through the left polarization light splitting module 32 to converge, projects the converged second polarized light P to the left modulation screen 34 to modulate into the polarized image light (i.e. the first polarized light S carrying the projection light image of the light source), projects to the left light splitting surface of the left polarization light splitting module 32 through the left lens 33, reflects to the phase delay surface of the left polarization light splitting module 32 through the left light splitting surface, delays the phase of the first polarized light S by 1 / 4 wavelength through the phase delay surface, reaches the left reflecting mirror L3 surface of the left polarization light splitting module 32, and is reflected by the left reflecting mirror L3 surface to pass through the phase delay surface of the left polarization light splitting module 32 again, so that the first polarized light S after the phase delay by 1 / 4 wavelength is delayed by 1 / 4 wavelength again, becomes the second polarized light P, projects to the left exit pupil lens 35 in the left polarization beam splitting component 30 through the left polarization light splitting module 32, and the second polarized light P converged through the left exit pupil lens 35 can be more accurately projected to the left coupling-in area 11 in the left waveguide lens 101, thereby reducing unnecessary light loss to significantly enhance the clarity of light imaging; next, the projection light image carried by the second polarized light P is coupled out through the left coupling-out area 13 of the left waveguide lens 101 to the left eye of the user.

The polarized light splitting film PBS1 is fixedly connected between the hypotenuse of the first polarized light splitting prism L1 and the hypotenuse of the second polarized light splitting prism L2 to form a left light splitting surface of the left polarized light splitting module 32. The phase conversion film is attached to one side of the first polarized light splitting prism L1 facing the left relay lens 31 to form a phase conversion surface of the left polarized light splitting module 32. The phase delay film is attached to one side of the second polarized light splitting prism L2 facing the left mirror L3 to form a phase delay surface of the left polarized light splitting module 32. The left exit pupil lens 35 is arranged on the side of the first polarized light splitting prism L1 away from the phase delay surface, and the side of the first polarized light splitting prism L1 away from the phase delay surface forms a left light ray exit surface of the left polarized light splitting module 32.
[0066] In the present embodiment, with reference to Figure 4 , the left polarization splitting module 32 comprises a first polarization splitting prism L1, a second polarization splitting prism L2, a left mirror L3, a polarization splitting film PBS1, a phase conversion film HWP1 and a phase delay film QWP1, wherein the polarization splitting film PBS1 is fixedly connected between the hypotenuse of the first polarization splitting prism L1 and the hypotenuse of the second polarization splitting prism L2 to form the left splitting surface of the left polarization splitting module 32, the phase conversion film is attached to the side of the first polarization splitting prism L1 facing the left relay lens 31 to form the phase conversion surface of the left polarization splitting module 32, and the phase delay film is attached to the side of the second polarization splitting prism L2 facing the left mirror L3 to form the phase delay surface of the left polarization splitting module 32.
[0067] It should be noted that the first polarization splitting prism L1 and the second polarization splitting prism L2 can be understood as PBS prisms.
[0068] For example, with reference to Figure 2 , the left relay lens 31 converges the first polarized light S projected by the left mirror surface of the splitting assembly 20, and vertically projects the converged first polarized light S onto the phase conversion surface of the left polarization splitting module 32. The phase conversion film attached to the phase conversion surface causes the phase delay of the first polarized light S to be multiplied by π / 2 to become the second polarized light P, which is then projected to the left lens 33 through the left polarization splitting module 32 for convergence. After the converged second polarized light P is modulated into polarized image light (i.e., the first polarized light S carrying the projected light image) by the left modulation screen 34, it is projected to the left splitting surface of the left polarization splitting module 32 through the left lens 33, and is reflected to the phase delay surface of the left polarization splitting module 32 by the polarization splitting film PBS1 attached to the left splitting surface. The phase delay film attached to the phase delay surface causes the phase delay of the first polarized light S to be 1 / 4 wavelength, which then reaches the surface of the left mirror L3 of the left polarization splitting module 32. The reflection of the surface of the left mirror L3 causes the first polarized light S, which has been phase delayed by 1 / 4 wavelength, to be further phase delayed by 1 / 4 wavelength, becoming the second polarized light P, which is then projected to the left exit pupil lens 35 in the left polarization beam splitting piece 30 through the left polarization splitting module 32. The second polarized light P, which has been converged by the left exit pupil lens 35, can be more accurately projected to the left in-coupling region 11 in the left waveguide sheet 101, thereby reducing unnecessary light loss and significantly enhancing the clarity of light imaging. Subsequently, the projected light image carried by the second polarized light P is coupled out of the left eye of the user via the left out-coupling region 13 of the left waveguide sheet 101.
[0069] Further, in some possible embodiments, with reference to Figure 2The right polarization beam splitter 40 includes a right relay lens 41, a right polarization beam splitter module 42, a right lens 43, and a right modulation screen 44. The right relay lens 41 and right lens 43 are respectively disposed on both sides of the right polarization beam splitter module 42. The right relay lens 41 is positioned facing the right reflecting mirror of the beam splitter assembly. The right modulation screen 44 is disposed on the side of the right lens 43 away from the right polarization beam splitter module 42. The right light emission surface of the right polarization beam splitter module 42 constitutes the right light emission surface of the right polarization beam splitter 40, which is positioned facing the right eye region of the waveguide lens. The second polarized light passes through the right reflecting mirror and sequentially... After passing through the right relay lens 41, the right polarization beam splitter module 42, and the right lens 43, the light is projected onto the right modulation screen 44. The right modulation screen 44 modulates the second polarized light into a polarized image light, which is the first polarized light carrying the projection image of the light source. The polarized image light passes through the right modulation screen 44, passes through the right lens 43, and is projected onto the right beam splitter surface of the right polarization beam splitter module 42. After being reflected by the right beam splitter surface and second-phase delayed by the phase delay surface of the right polarization beam splitter module 42, the light passes through the right beam splitter surface and is projected onto the right eye region facing the right light emission surface.
[0070] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 The second polarized light P passes through the polarizing beam splitter film PBS1 attached to the beam splitter surface of the beam splitter assembly 20 and is then projected onto the total internal reflection mirror of the beam splitter assembly 20. The second polarized light P is reflected by the total internal reflection mirror to the right reflecting surface of the reflecting prism 22 for secondary reflection, and then incident on the right relay lens 41. The second polarized light P, after being converged by the right relay lens 41, passes through the right polarizing beam splitter module 42 and is projected onto the right lens 43 for convergence. The converged second polarized light P is then projected onto the right modulation screen 44 and modulated into polarized image light (i.e., the first polarized light S carrying the projected light image of the light source). This light then passes through the right lens 43 and is projected onto the right beam splitter surface of the right polarizing beam splitter module 42, and passes through the polarizing beam splitter film PBS1 attached to the right beam splitter surface. S1 is reflected to the phase delay surface of the right polarization beam splitter 42, and the phase of the first polarized light S is delayed by 1 / 4 wavelength by the phase delay surface before reaching the surface of the right reflector R3 of the right polarization beam splitter 42. After being reflected by the surface of the right reflector R3, it passes through the phase delay surface of the right polarization beam splitter 42 again, so that the first polarized light S, which is already delayed by 1 / 4 wavelength, is delayed by another 1 / 4 wavelength and becomes the second polarized light P. Then, it passes through the right beam splitter surface of the right polarization beam splitter 42 and is projected onto the right coupling region 12 of the right waveguide 102, which is facing the right light emission surface of the right polarization beam splitter 42. Next, the projection light image carried by the second polarized light P is coupled out through the right coupling region 14 of the right waveguide 102 to the user's right eye.
[0071] It should be noted that the right modulation screen 44 includes, but is not limited to, LCOS (Liquid Crystal On Silicon) screens.
[0072] Further, in some other possible embodiments, with reference to Figure 2 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of a right-polarized light splitting module involved in the first embodiment of the present application. The right-polarized light splitting module 42 further comprises a right-pupil lens 45, and the right-polarized light splitting module 42 further comprises a third polarized light splitting prism R1, a fourth polarized light splitting prism R2, and a right mirror R3; the hypotenuse of the third polarized light splitting prism R1 is oppositely arranged with the hypotenuse of the fourth polarized light splitting prism R2 to form a right rectangular prism, which is arranged between the right relay lens 41 and the right lens 43; the hypotenuse of the third polarized light splitting prism R1 is fixedly connected with the hypotenuse of the fourth polarized light splitting prism R2 via a polarized light splitting film PBS1 to form a right light splitting surface of the right-polarized light splitting module 42; the fourth polarized light splitting prism R2 is attached with a phase delay film QWP1 on the side facing the right mirror R3 to form a phase delay surface of the right-polarized light splitting module 42; the right-pupil lens 45 is arranged on the side of the third polarized light splitting prism R1 away from the phase delay surface of the right-polarized light splitting module 42, and the side of the third polarized light splitting prism R1 away from the phase delay surface of the right-polarized light splitting module 42 forms a right light ray exit surface of the right-polarized light splitting module 42.
[0073] In the present embodiment, with reference to Figure 2 and Figure 5, the second polarized light P is transmitted through the polarized light splitting film PBS1 attached to the splitting mirror surface of the splitting component 20, and is reflected by the total reflection mirror surface of the splitting component 20 to the right reflecting surface of the reflecting prism 22, and is reflected by the right relay lens 41 after being reflected twice by the right reflecting surface of the reflecting prism 22, and is transmitted through the third polarized light splitting prism R1, the polarized light splitting film PBS1 and the fourth polarized light splitting prism R2, and is projected to the right lens 43, and is projected to the right modulation screen 44 after being converged by the right lens 43, and the second polarized light P is changed into the polarized image light (i.e. the first polarized light S carrying the projection light image of the light source) after being modulated by the right modulation screen 44, and is re-projected to the right lens 43, and is transmitted through the right lens 43, and is projected to the polarized light splitting film PBS1 after being transmitted through the fourth polarized light splitting prism R2, and is reflected by the polarized light splitting film PBS1, and the first polarized light S carrying the projection light image of the light source is turned to the phase delay film QWP1, so that the first polarized light S carrying the projection light image of the light source is phase delayed by 1 / 4 wavelength to reach the right reflecting mirror R3 surface, and is phase delayed by 1 / 4 wavelength again after being reflected by the right reflecting mirror R3 surface and re-passing the phase delay film QWP1, at this time, the first polarized light S carrying the projection light image of the light source is changed into the second polarized light P, and is projected to the right exit pupil lens 45 after being transmitted through the right splitting surface and the right exit light surface of the right polarized light splitting module 42 in sequence, and the second polarized light P converged by the right exit pupil lens 45 can be more accurately projected to the right coupling-in area 12 of the right waveguide sheet 101, so that unnecessary light loss is reduced to significantly enhance the clarity of light imaging; next, the projection light image carried by the second polarized light P is coupled out of the right waveguide sheet 101 through the right coupling-out area 14 to the right eye of the user.
[0074] It should be noted that the right modulation screen 44 includes but is not limited to an LCOS (Liquid Crystal On Silicon) screen.
[0075] Further, in some possible embodiments, the splitting component 20 includes a splitting prism 21, the splitting surface of the splitting prism 21 constitutes the splitting mirror surface of the splitting component 20 and is arranged towards the light source 10, the total reflection surface of the splitting prism 21 is arranged opposite to the splitting surface, the polarized light splitting film is attached to the splitting surface, and the total reflection surface is coated with a reflection enhancement film; the splitting prism 21 is configured to split the light source 10 into the first polarized light S and the second polarized light P perpendicular to each other through the splitting mirror surface, and to reflect the second polarized light P projected by the splitting mirror surface to the right reflecting surface of the splitting component 20 through the total reflection surface when the first polarized light S is projected to the left reflecting surface of the splitting component 20 through the splitting mirror surface.
[0076] In the present embodiment, the splitting component 20 is taken as an example for description. Figure 2The light splitting surface of the light splitting prism 21 is configured to face the light source 10, and the light source 10 and the light splitting surface of the light splitting prism 21 are provided with a projection optical component 50. For example, the non-polarized light (i.e. incident light) from the light source 10 is converged by a collimating lens 51 in the projection optical component 50, and then passes through a homogenizing lens 52 in the projection optical component 50, so that the converged incident light is more uniformly projected to the third relay lens 53 in the projection optical component 50, and then forms a light spot with a proper size, which is projected to the light splitting surface of the light splitting prism 21. Thus, the non-polarized light projected by the projection optical component 50 can be separated into the first polarized light S and the second polarized light P perpendicular to each other by the polarized light splitting film PBS1 attached to the light splitting surface of the light splitting prism 21, i.e. the polarized separation of the non-polarized light is realized by the light splitting surface of the light splitting prism 21. Next, when the first polarized light S is projected to the left reflecting surface of the light splitting assembly 20 through the light splitting surface (i.e. light splitting mirror surface) of the light splitting prism 21, the second polarized light P is projected to the total reflecting surface of the light splitting assembly 20 through the light splitting mirror surface and the polarized light splitting film PBS1, and the reflection efficiency of the second polarized light P on the total reflecting surface is improved by the anti-reflection film coated on the total reflecting surface, so that more second polarized light P is reflected to the right reflecting surface of the light splitting assembly 20, effectively reducing the light loss of the reflected second polarized light P, and significantly improving the light transmission efficiency of the second polarized light P.
[0077] It should be noted that the total reflecting surface can be understood as the total reflecting surface of the light splitting prism 21, which is arranged on the opposite surface of the light splitting surface, so as to effectively optimize the light propagation path of the second polarized light P from the polarized light splitting film PBS1 on the light splitting surface to the total reflecting surface, and reduce the light loss of the second polarized light P in the light transmission process.
[0078] The polarized light splitting film PBS1 is a PBS (Polarizing Beam Splitter) film, i.e. when the non-polarized light is incident on the PBS film, the incident non-polarized light is separated into two perpendicular first polarized light S (i.e. S polarized light, also called S state polarized light) and second polarized light P (i.e. P polarized light, also called P state polarized light) by the PBS film, and the first polarized light S transmits through the PBS film, and the second polarized light P transmits through the PBS film.
[0079] Further, in other possible embodiments, referring to Figure 6 , Figure 6This is a schematic diagram of the beam-splitting prism according to the first embodiment of this application. The beam-splitting prism 21 includes: a first triangular prism J1 and a second triangular prism J2. After the right-angled side of the first triangular prism J1 is glued to the right-angled side of the second triangular prism J2 to form a rhombus prism, the hypotenuse of the first triangular prism J1 and the hypotenuse of the second triangular prism J2 are arranged opposite to each other. The hypotenuse of the first triangular prism J1 constitutes the beam-splitting surface of the beam-splitting prism 21, and the hypotenuse of the second triangular prism J2 constitutes the total internal reflection surface of the beam-splitting prism 21.
[0080] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 6 (a) shows that the beam splitter prism 21 replaces the traditional dual-optical-engine module configuration by forming a rhomboid structure through bonding the right-angled side of the first triangular prism J1 and the right-angled side of the second triangular prism J2. Specifically, the hypotenuse of the first triangular prism J1 serves as the beam splitting surface of the beam splitter prism 21. By attaching a polarizing beam splitting film PBS1 to the beam splitting surface of the beam splitter prism 21, the unpolarized light projected by the projection optics 50 can be accurately decomposed into first polarized light S and second polarized light P with different polarization directions. This effectively reduces the power consumption of the glasses module, lessens the dependence on large-capacity batteries, and thus reduces the weight of the glasses module, significantly improving the user's wearing experience. Next, when the first polarized light S is reflected by the polarizing beam splitting film PBS1 attached to the beam splitting surface of the beam splitting prism 21 to the left reflecting mirror of the beam splitting assembly 20, an anti-reflection film is coated on the total reflection surface formed by the hypotenuse of the second triangular prism J2, which is set opposite to the hypotenuse of the first triangular prism J1. This allows the second polarized light P to be efficiently reflected to the right reflecting mirror of the beam splitting assembly 20, thereby reducing light loss during light transmission and significantly improving the imaging quality of the optomechanical module 200.
[0081] Alternatively, a parallelogram prism can be used, with the side of the parallelogram prism facing the light source 10 forming the beam-splitting surface of the beam-splitting prism 21, and the side of the parallelogram prism away from the light source 10 forming the total internal reflection surface of the beam-splitting prism 21.
[0082] In the embodiment, the light splitting prism 21 is also a parallelogram prism, and the side of the parallelogram prism facing the light source 10 is used as the light splitting surface of the light splitting prism 21, so that the non-polarized light projected by the projection optical unit 50 can be accurately decomposed into the first polarized light S and the second polarized light P. That is, the single light source 10 is split by the polarized light splitting film PBS1 attached to the side of the parallelogram prism facing the light source 10, instead of the traditional double light machine module configuration, thereby effectively reducing the power consumption of the glasses module, reducing the dependence on large-capacity batteries, thereby reducing the weight of the glasses module, and significantly improving the user's wearing experience. Next, the side of the parallelogram prism away from the light source 10 is used as the total reflection surface of the light splitting prism 21, so that the second polarized light P can be efficiently reflected to the right mirror surface of the light splitting assembly 20, thereby reducing the light loss in the light transmission process and significantly improving the imaging quality of the optical machine module 200.
[0083] Further, in some possible embodiments, the light splitting assembly further includes a reflecting prism 22, the reflecting prism 22 is arranged between the left polarized beam splitter 30 and the right polarized beam splitter 40, the left reflecting surface of the reflecting prism 22 constitutes the left reflecting mirror surface of the light splitting assembly 20 facing the light splitting mirror surface of the light splitting assembly 20, and the right reflecting surface of the reflecting prism 22 constitutes the right reflecting mirror surface of the light splitting assembly 20 facing the total reflection mirror surface of the light splitting assembly 20.
[0084] The reflecting prism 22 is arranged to project the second polarized light P to the right polarized beam splitter 40 through the right reflecting mirror surface when the first polarized light S is projected to the left polarized beam splitter 30 through the left reflecting mirror surface.
[0085] In the embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , the light splitting assembly 20 further includes the reflecting prism 22, the reflecting prism 22 is arranged above the light splitting prism 21 and between the left polarized beam splitter 30 and the right polarized beam splitter 40. Specifically, the left reflecting surface of the reflecting prism 22 constitutes the left reflecting mirror surface of the light splitting assembly 20 facing the light splitting mirror surface of the light splitting assembly 20, so that the first polarized light S projected by the light splitting mirror surface can be accurately reflected to the left polarized beam splitter 30 arranged towards the left reflecting mirror surface; and the right reflecting surface of the reflecting prism 22 constitutes the right reflecting mirror surface of the light splitting assembly 20 facing the total reflection mirror surface of the light splitting assembly 20, so that the second polarized light P projected by the total reflection mirror surface can be accurately reflected to the right polarized beam splitter 40 arranged towards the right reflecting mirror surface. That is, the reflecting prism 22 is arranged above the light splitting prism 21 and between the left polarized beam splitter 30 and the right polarized beam splitter 40, and the left / right reflecting surface of the reflecting prism 22 reflects the first / second polarized light to the left / right polarized beam splitter, which significantly optimizes the light transmission path and effectively improves the utilization rate and transmission efficiency of the first / second polarized light.
[0086] Further, in another possible implementation, referring to Figure 2 , the light engine module 200 further comprises a projection optical component 50, which is arranged between the light source 10 and the beam splitting component 20; the projection optical component 50 comprises a collimating lens 51, a homogenizing lens 52, and a relay lens 53, the homogenizing lens 52 is arranged between the collimating lens 51 and the relay lens 53, the collimating lens 51 is arranged towards the light source 10, and the relay lens 53 is arranged towards the beam splitting surface of the beam splitting component 20.
[0087] In this embodiment, the non-polarized light (i.e. incident light) from the light source 10 is converged by the collimating lens 51 and then projected to the homogenizing lens 52, so that the converged incident light is more uniformly projected to the third relay lens 53 for convergence, so as to form a light spot of appropriate size to be projected to the beam splitting surface of the beam splitting component 20, thereby providing the beam splitting surface with high-quality input of the light source 10 and significantly improving the beam splitting efficiency of the beam splitting surface.

The optical engine module further comprises an optical engine housing 60, and the exemplary light source 10, the light splitting assembly 20, the left polarized beam splitting element 30, the right polarized beam splitting element 40 and the projection optical element 50 are arranged in the optical engine housing 60 as shown. Figure 6
[0090] In summary, the present application provides a glasses module and an extended reality device. The glasses module of the present application is integrated with a waveguide lens 100 and an optical engine module 200, and a light splitting assembly 20 is packaged inside the optical engine module 200 to accurately split a single light source 10 arranged towards the light splitting assembly 20 into first polarized light S and second polarized light P, thereby replacing the configuration of a traditional double optical engine module and effectively reducing the energy consumption of the light source 10. Next, since the left polarized beam splitting element 30 and the right polarized beam splitting element 40 are arranged on the two sides of the light splitting assembly 20 respectively, when the first polarized light P is converted into the second polarized light S by the polarization conversion surface of the left polarized beam splitting element 30 and is guided to the left eye area of the waveguide lens 100 towards the left light output surface of the left polarized beam splitting element 30, the second polarized light S projected by the light splitting assembly 20 is projected to the right eye area of the waveguide lens 100 towards the right light output surface of the right polarized beam splitting element 40 through the right polarized beam splitting element 40, thereby realizing the visual display requirement of both eyes using only one light source 10. That is, the present application significantly reduces the power consumption of the glasses module by splitting the single light source 10 through the light splitting assembly 20, reduces the dependence on large-capacity batteries, and thereby reduces the overall weight of the glasses module, greatly improving the user's wearing experience.
