[0034] Various exemplary embodiments of the present specification will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the embodiments of the present specification and its application or uses.
[0036] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.
[0037] One embodiment of the present invention provides a near-eye display device. Figure 1 As shown, the near-eye display device includes: a first optical lens 110 and a second optical lens 120 which are stacked.
[0038] The first optical lens 110 has a first outer surface 111 and a first inner surface 112. The second optical lens 120 has a second outer surface 121 and a second inner surface 122. The first outer surface 111 is a surface close to the environment, and the second outer surface 112 is a surface close to the human eye.
[0039] At least part of the first outer surface 111 is a curved surface. At least part of the second outer surface 121 is a curved surface. The first inner surface 112 and the second inner surface 122 are both planes. That is, the first outer surface 111 is entirely a curved surface, or the first outer surface 111 is partially a curved surface and partially a plane. The second outer surface 121 is entirely a curved surface, or the second outer surface 121 is partially a curved surface and partially a plane.
[0040] A coupling-in grating ( Figure 1 The coupling grating is not shown), and the area where the coupling grating is set is a plane. At least one of the first inner surface 112 and the second inner surface 122 is provided with a coupling grating ( Figure 1 (not shown). Both the in-coupling grating and the out-coupling grating are arranged on a plane, which is determined by the arrangement requirements of the out-coupling grating itself.
[0041] In the case where the first optical lens is provided with a coupling-in grating, the refractive index of the first optical lens meets the preset requirements, so that the light entering through the diffraction of the coupling-in grating can be totally reflected and propagated in the first optical lens. In the case where the second optical lens is provided with a coupling-in grating, the refractive index of the second optical lens meets the preset requirements, so that the light entering through the diffraction of the coupling-in grating can be totally reflected and propagated in the second optical lens.
[0042] The first optical lens and the second optical lens are superimposed on each other, and by adjusting the focal lengths and relative positions of the two lenses, combined with the coupling-in grating and the coupling-out grating, precise propagation of light can be achieved, so that the light forms a clear image.
[0043] In the near-eye display device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, the combination of the first optical lens and the second optical lens can realize the functions of vision correction and correction of virtual image distance. On the other hand, the coupling-in grating and the coupling-out grating are arranged on the first optical lens and / or the second optical lens, and the light diffracted by the coupling-in grating is reflected and propagated in the first optical lens and / or the second optical lens, and then diffracted out by the coupling-out grating. In this way, the first optical lens and / or the second optical lens realizes the function of light reflection of the optical waveguide substrate, and there is no need to set a separate optical waveguide substrate, which saves product cost and reduces product weight.
[0044] In addition, when the first optical lens is provided with a coupling-in grating and a coupling-out grating, and the second optical lens is provided with a coupling-in grating and a coupling-out grating, the light can enter the first optical lens through the diffraction of the coupling-in grating provided on the first optical lens, be reflected and propagated, and then be diffracted out through the coupling-out grating to enter the user's eyes. The light can also enter the second optical lens through the diffraction of the coupling-in grating provided on the second optical lens, be reflected and propagated, and then be diffracted out through the coupling-out grating to enter the user's eyes. This can improve the optical efficiency, reduce the optical loss, and enhance the color uniformity and brightness uniformity of the displayed image, which is equivalent to the display effect achieved by superimposing two diffraction optical waveguides.
[0045] In some embodiments, when the first optical lens is provided with a coupling-in grating, the coupling-in grating is provided on the first outer surface, or the coupling-in grating is provided on the first inner surface. When the first optical lens is provided with a coupling-in grating and a coupling-out grating, light can be diffracted by the coupling-in grating provided on the first optical lens and enter the first optical lens, be reflected and propagated, and then be diffracted out by the coupling-out grating and enter the user's eyes, so that the first optical lens realizes the function of light reflection of the optical waveguide substrate. In addition, the setting position of the coupling-in grating is flexible, so that the setting of the coupling-in grating can match more optical and structural layouts. When the first outer surface is provided with a coupling-in grating, the first outer surface has a first plane and a first curved surface, and the coupling-in grating provided on the first outer surface is provided on the first plane. This is determined by the setting requirements of the coupling-in grating itself.
[0046] In some embodiments, when the second optical lens is provided with a coupling-in grating, the coupling-in grating is provided on the second outer surface, or the coupling-in grating is provided on the second inner surface. When the second optical lens is provided with a coupling-in grating and a coupling-out grating, light can be diffracted by the coupling-in grating provided on the second optical lens and enter the second optical lens, be reflected and propagated, and then be diffracted out by the coupling-out grating and enter the user's eyes, so that the second optical lens realizes the function of light reflection of the optical waveguide substrate. In addition, the setting position of the coupling-in grating is flexible, so that the setting of the coupling-in grating can match more optical and structural layouts. When the second outer surface is provided with a coupling-in grating, the second outer surface has a second plane and a second curved surface, and the coupling-in grating provided on the second outer surface is provided on the second plane. This is determined by the setting requirements of the coupling-in grating itself.
[0047] In some embodiments, when the first optical lens is provided with an in-coupling grating and an out-coupling grating, the in-coupling grating and the out-coupling grating provided on the first optical lens are located on the same surface, that is, both are provided on the first inner surface. Alternatively, the in-coupling grating and the out-coupling grating provided on the first optical lens are located on different surfaces, that is, the in-coupling grating is provided on the first outer surface, and the out-coupling grating is provided on the first inner surface. When the in-coupling grating is provided on the first outer surface, the first outer surface has a first plane and a first curved surface, and the in-coupling grating provided on the first outer surface is provided on the first plane.
[0048] In some embodiments, when the second optical lens is provided with an in-coupling grating and an out-coupling grating, the in-coupling grating and the out-coupling grating provided on the second optical lens are located on the same surface, that is, both are provided on the second inner surface. Alternatively, the in-coupling grating and the out-coupling grating provided on the second optical lens are located on different surfaces, that is, the in-coupling grating is provided on the second outer surface, and the out-coupling grating is provided on the second inner surface. When the in-coupling grating is provided on the second outer surface, the second outer surface has a second plane and a second curved surface, and the in-coupling grating provided on the second outer surface is provided on the second plane.
[0049] In some embodiments, the direction of the light emitted by the optical machine is a first direction or a second direction, and the light emitted by the optical machine cannot pass through the curved surface before entering the coupling grating. The first direction is the direction from the environment side to the human eye side, and the second direction is the direction from the human eye side to the environment side.
[0050] It should be noted that the direction of the light emitted by the optical machine is matched with the setting position of the coupling-in grating to ensure that the light emitted by the optical machine cannot pass through the curved surface before entering the coupling-in grating.
[0051] For example, the direction of the light emitted by the optical machine is the first direction, and the first outer surface has a first plane and a first curved surface. If no coupling grating is set on the first plane, all the light emitted by the optical machine passes through the first plane to ensure that the light emitted by the optical machine cannot pass through the curved surface before entering the coupling grating. If a coupling grating is set on the first plane, the light emitted by the optical machine enters the coupling grating for diffraction.
[0052] For another example, the direction of the light emitted by the optical machine is the second direction, and the second outer surface has a second plane and a second curved surface. If no coupling grating is set on the second plane, all the light emitted by the optical machine passes through the second plane to ensure that the light emitted by the optical machine cannot pass through the curved surface before entering the coupling grating. If a coupling grating is set on the second plane, the light emitted by the optical machine enters the coupling grating for diffraction.
[0053] In some embodiments, when both the first optical lens and the second optical lens are provided with an in-coupling grating, the area corresponding to the in-coupling grating provided on the first optical lens and the area corresponding to the in-coupling grating provided on the second optical lens are partially overlapped or completely overlapped. When both the first inner surface and the second inner surface are provided with an out-coupling grating, the area corresponding to the out-coupling grating provided on the first inner surface and the area corresponding to the out-coupling grating provided on the second inner surface are partially overlapped or completely overlapped. The overlap mentioned here refers to the overlap generated along the superposition direction of the first optical lens and the second optical lens.
[0054] The area corresponding to the coupling-in grating arranged on the first optical lens and the area corresponding to the coupling-in grating arranged on the second optical lens are partially overlapped or completely overlapped, and the area corresponding to the coupling-out grating arranged on the first inner surface and the area corresponding to the coupling-out grating arranged on the second inner surface are partially overlapped or completely overlapped, which can improve the optical efficiency and enhance the color uniformity and brightness uniformity of the displayed image.
[0055] In some embodiments, the in-coupling grating is a one-dimensional grating, and the out-coupling grating is a one-dimensional grating.
[0056] In some embodiments, the in-coupling grating is a one-dimensional grating and the out-coupling grating is a two-dimensional grating.
[0057] In some embodiments, the coupling-in grating is a one-dimensional grating, and the coupling-out grating is a hybrid of a one-dimensional grating and a two-dimensional grating.
[0058] One-dimensional gratings couple and diffract light in a specific direction, which can effectively control the propagation direction of light. Two-dimensional gratings can process light in two directions, improve coupling efficiency, and allow more light to be coupled out in the desired direction and angle, thereby achieving efficient two-dimensional diffraction.
[0059] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an in-coupling grating and an out-coupling grating according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the coupling-in grating is a one-dimensional grating, and the coupling-out grating is a two-dimensional grating.
[0060] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an in-coupling grating and an out-coupling grating according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the coupling-in grating is a one-dimensional grating, and the coupling-out grating is a mixture of a one-dimensional grating and a two-dimensional grating.
[0061] In some embodiments, the inner surface provided with the outcoupling grating is also provided with a turning grating. The light first passes through the turning grating for turning, and then passes through the outcoupling grating for outcoupling, so as to achieve specific turning and efficient outcoupling of the light.
[0062] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an in-coupling grating and an out-coupling grating according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the coupling-in grating is a one-dimensional grating, the turning grating is a one-dimensional grating, and the coupling-out grating is a one-dimensional grating.
[0063] In some embodiments, the optical power of the first optical lens and the optical power of the second optical lens have opposite signs. That is, the optical power of the first optical lens is positive, and the optical power of the second optical lens is negative, or the optical power of the first optical lens is negative, and the optical power of the second optical lens is positive. An optical lens with a positive optical power can converge light, and an optical lens with a negative optical power can diverge light. When the first optical lens and the second optical lens are superimposed, the precise propagation of light can be achieved by adjusting the focal length and relative position of the two, and some aberrations can be offset to improve imaging quality. In addition, an optical lens with a negative optical power can diverge light, which helps to expand the field of view, so that light in a wider range can be captured.
[0064] In some embodiments, the curved surface of the first optical lens and the second optical lens may be any of the following surface types: a spherical surface, a cylindrical surface, a cylindrical surface superimposed on a spherical surface, and a free-form surface.
[0065] In some embodiments, the first optical lens and the second optical lens are fixed by any of the following methods: optical adhesive bonding, frame bonding, and fasteners.
[0066] The near-eye display device provided by the present invention is described below with reference to a number of specific embodiments.
[0067] In one embodiment, according to Figure 5 As shown, the near-eye display device includes: a first optical lens 110 and a second optical lens 120 which are stacked. The first optical lens 110 is a convex lens, and the second optical lens 120 is a concave lens.
[0068] The first optical lens 110 has a first outer surface 111 and a first inner surface 112. The second optical lens 120 has a second outer surface 121 and a second inner surface 122. The first outer surface 111 is a surface close to the environment. The second outer surface 121 is a surface close to the human eye.

The number of the coupling-in grating 130 can be two, for example, one can be set on any plane among the first plane 111a and the first inner surface 112, and the other can be set on any plane among the second plane 121a and the second inner surface 122. The number of the coupling-out grating 140 can be one, for example, it can be set on any plane among the first inner surface 112 and the second inner surface 122. The number of the coupling-out grating 140 can be two, for example, it can be set on the first inner surface 112 and the second inner surface 122. The specific settings of the coupling-in grating and the coupling-out grating can be arbitrarily combined according to the setting numbers and setting positions listed above. It should be noted that, based on the above combination, Figure 5 The arrangement of the coupling-in grating and the coupling-out grating shown is a preferred embodiment. The combination of the first optical lens and the second optical lens can not only achieve vision correction, but is also equivalent to the superposition of two diffraction waveguides to improve optical efficiency, reduce optical losses, and enhance the display effect of color uniformity and brightness uniformity of the displayed image.

[0076] based on Figure 6The first optical lens 610 and the second optical lens 620 shown in the figure, the number of the coupling-in grating 630 can be one, for example, it is set on any plane among the second plane 621a, the first inner surface 612 and the second inner surface 622. The number of the coupling-in grating 630 can be two, for example, one is set on the first inner surface 612, and the other is set on any plane among the second plane 621a and the second inner surface 622. The number of the coupling-out grating 640 can be one, for example, it is set on any plane among the first inner surface 612 and the second inner surface 622. The number of the coupling-out grating 640 can be two, for example, it is set on the first inner surface 612 and the second inner surface 622.

It should be noted that based on the above combination, Figure 6 The arrangement of the coupling-in grating and the coupling-out grating shown is a preferred embodiment. The combination of the first optical lens and the second optical lens can not only achieve vision correction, but is also equivalent to the superposition of two diffraction waveguides to improve optical efficiency, reduce optical losses, and enhance the display effect of color uniformity and brightness uniformity of the displayed image.
