[0034] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0035] In related technologies, when using an image recognition system to acquire the edge contour image of each lens, the acquired edge contour image has certain errors due to the influence of image contrast and shadows. The center of the calculated lens outline is not accurate, resulting in low alignment accuracy and affecting the imaging quality of the display device.
[0036] This disclosure provides a display optical module and display device to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0037] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is an example cross-sectional view of the first and second optical elements provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The display optical module includes a first optical element 100 and a second optical element 200, which are arranged along a first direction ( Figure 1 The optical elements are arranged vertically (as shown in the diagram), with the first optical element 100 positioned above the second optical element 200 and the first optical element 100 and the second optical element 200 in contact with each other. When the central axis of the first optical element 100 and the central axis of the second optical element 200 both coincide with the central axis 110 of the optical element, it indicates that the alignment of the first optical element 100 and the second optical element 200 is complete.
[0038] A first alignment structure is provided on the first optical element 100, and a second alignment structure is provided on the second optical element 200. The first alignment structure and the second alignment structure are aligned along a first direction ( Figure 1 (As shown in the vertical direction) When the central axis of the first alignment structure and the central axis of the second alignment structure both coincide with the central axis 120 of the alignment structure, it means that the central axis of the first optical element 100 and the central axis of the second optical element 200 also coincide with the central axis 110 of the optical element.
[0039] The first alignment structure is used to receive the initial detection light source traveling along the initial optical path, so that the initial detection light source enters the first optical element 100 from the first alignment structure. When the initial detection light source enters the first alignment structure, the first alignment structure will change the optical path of the initial detection light source, so that the initial optical path is changed to the first alignment optical path, and the first alignment light source is obtained. The first alignment light source will exit the first optical element 100 from the first alignment structure.
[0040] The second alignment structure is used to receive the first alignment light source, so that the first alignment light source enters the second optical element 200 from the second alignment structure. When the first alignment light source enters the second alignment structure, the second alignment structure will change the optical path of the first alignment light source, so that the first alignment optical path is changed to the second alignment optical path, and the second alignment light source is obtained. The second alignment light source will exit the second optical element 200 from the second alignment structure.
[0041] The first optical parameters of the first alignment light source and the second alignment light source are equal, indicating that the central axis of the first alignment structure and the central axis of the second alignment structure both coincide with the central axis 120 of the alignment structure.
[0042] Alternatively, if the second optical parameters of the first and second alignment light sources meet the preset conditions, it indicates that the central axis of the first and second alignment structures both coincide with the central axis 120 of the alignment structure.
[0043] The display optical module provided in this embodiment includes a first optical element 100 and a second optical element 200 bonded together. A first alignment structure is disposed on the first optical element 100, and a second alignment structure is disposed on the second optical element 200. The first alignment structure and the second alignment structure are aligned along a first direction (…). Figure 2 The first alignment structure is used to receive the initial detection light source traveling along the initial optical path and to change the initial optical path of the initial detection light source into the first alignment optical path to obtain the first alignment light source; the second alignment structure is used to receive the first alignment light source and to change the first alignment optical path of the first alignment light source into the second alignment optical path to obtain the second alignment light source; wherein, the first optical parameters of the first alignment light source and the second alignment light source are equal, or the second optical parameters of the first alignment light source and the second alignment light source meet preset conditions. By setting the first alignment structure and the second alignment structure on the first optical element 100 and the second optical element 200 that are attached to each other, and shining the detection light source into the first alignment structure and the second alignment structure, the alignment of the first alignment structure and the second alignment structure is determined according to the change of the optical parameters of the detection light source, thereby determining whether the first optical element and the second optical element are aligned, effectively solving the problem of low alignment accuracy when aligning any two lenses.

Figure 4 The alignment detection of the at least two alignment structures at the same time can further ensure the accuracy of the alignment of the lens.
[0052] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 4 , Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the light source provided in the first embodiment of the present disclosure through the first through hole and the second through hole Figure 5 , Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the light source provided in the first embodiment of the present disclosure through the first through hole and the second through hole Figure 2 In the first embodiment of the present disclosure, the first alignment structure 300 comprises a first through hole, the second alignment structure 400 comprises a second through hole, the diameter of the first through hole is the same as that of the second through hole, the center axis of the first through hole coincides with the center axis of the second through hole, and the center axis of the first through hole is coaxial with a first direction axis (i.e., the vertical direction shown in FIG. 1).Figure 4 The vertical direction axis shown in the middle is parallel.
[0053] The initial detection light source a enters the first optical element 100 from the first alignment structure 300, wherein the inner wall of the first through-hole is used to receive the initial detection light source a, and after the initial detection light source a is incident to the inner wall of the first through-hole, the inner wall of the first through-hole is also used to reflect the initial detection light source a, thereby changing the optical path of the initial detection light source a, to obtain the first alignment light source b traveling along the first alignment light path. The first alignment light source b exits the first optical element 100 from the first alignment structure 300.
[0054] The first alignment light source b enters the second optical element 200 from the second alignment structure 400, wherein the inner wall of the second through-hole is used to receive the first alignment light source b, and after the first alignment light source b is incident to the inner wall of the second through-hole, the inner wall of the second through-hole is also used to reflect the first alignment light source b, thereby changing the optical path of the first alignment light source b, to obtain the second alignment light source c traveling along the second alignment light path. The second alignment light source c exits the second optical element 200 from the second alignment structure 400.

[0056] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the light intensity of the first alignment light source b is equal to the light intensity of the second alignment light source c, indicating that the light source incident into the first through-hole and the second through-hole and reflected by the inner wall of the first through-hole and the inner wall of the second through-hole does not have energy loss, the center axis of the first through-hole and the center axis of the second through-hole coincide, the first alignment structure 300 and the second alignment structure 400 are aligned, and the first optical element 100 and the second optical element 200 complete alignment.
[0057] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the light intensity of the first alignment light source b is greater than the light intensity of the second alignment light source c, indicating that the light source incident into the first through-hole and the second through-hole and reflected by the inner wall of the first through-hole and the inner wall of the second through-hole has a certain energy loss; wherein the first alignment light source b obtained after being reflected by the inner wall of the first through-hole, when entering the second through-hole, has energy loss due to the inner wall of the second through-hole not being flush with the inner wall of the first through-hole; that is, at this time, the center axis of the first through-hole and the center axis of the second through-hole do not coincide, the first alignment structure 300 and the second alignment structure 400 are not aligned, and the first optical element 100 and the second optical element 200 do not complete alignment.
[0058] This embodiment determines whether the first optical element 100 and the second optical element 200 are aligned by measuring the changes in incident light intensity and emitted light intensity. The structure is simple and can achieve precise alignment.

Both the first and second alignment optical paths include multiple reflection optical paths, with each reflection optical path having the same incident angle as the initial incident angle e. That is, the first alignment light source b undergoes multiple reflections within the first through-hole before entering the second through-hole, and the second alignment light source c undergoes multiple reflections within the second through-hole before exiting. Simultaneously, the incident angle of each reflection optical path is the same as the initial incident angle e, ensuring that no energy loss occurs during the multiple reflections of the first and second alignment light sources b and c.
[0061] In the first embodiment of this disclosure, the initial optical path includes a single beam of light.
