[0053] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other in the case of no conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0054] The present application provides an optical lens, which is used for modulating and transmitting light signals emitted by an image source to an eye entrance pupil side. The optical lens is arranged on a light emitting direction of the image source, that is, an emitting surface of the image source is a light emitting side of the light signals. The optical lens is composed of five lenses, which include, in the reverse direction of light transmission from the eye entrance pupil side to the image source side, a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens and a fifth lens in sequence. The first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens and the fifth lens each include an incident surface close to the image source side and an emitting surface close to the eye entrance pupil side. It can be understood that the surface of each lens close to the image source is referred to as the incident surface of the lens, and the surface of each lens close to the eye entrance pupil side is referred to as the emitting surface of the lens. It should be noted that the position of the eye entrance pupil is the diaphragm of the optical lens.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first lens can have a positive focal power, the emitting surface of the first lens is a convex surface, and the incident surface of the first lens is a convex surface or a concave surface. The second lens can have a negative focal power, the emitting surface of the second lens is a concave surface, and the incident surface of the second lens is a concave surface. The third lens can have a positive focal power, the emitting surface of the third lens is a convex surface or a concave surface, and the incident surface of the third lens is a convex surface. The fourth lens can have a negative focal power, the emitting surface of the fourth lens is a convex surface or a concave surface, and the incident surface of the fourth lens is a convex surface or a concave surface. The fifth lens can have a negative focal power, the emitting surface of the fifth lens is a convex surface or a plane, and the incident surface of the fifth lens is a concave surface.

[0056] To meet the wearing needs of users with different refractive degrees, the air gap CT W (i.e., the distance between the incident surface of the fifth lens and the image source on the optical axis) between the entire lens group (composed of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens and the fifth lens) and the image source on the optical axis can be dynamically adjusted to realize the adjustment of the optical lens between different refractive powers, so as to well meet the wearing needs of users with different refractive degrees. More specifically, the adjustment range of the distance CT W between the incident surface of the fifth lens and the image source on the optical axis satisfies: 3mm < CT W<13mm. Satisfying the above range, the lens can have a large optical back focal length, on the one hand, the light emitted from the image source side has a large bending space, which improves the matching adaptability of the optical lens and the large-size display screen, and at the same time, a large space is reserved between the image source and the optical lens, which is convenient for adjusting the distance between the two, so that a large range (such as -7D to +2D) of diopter adjustment can be realized, which can meet the wearing needs of users with different degrees of myopia or hyperopia. And the diopter adjustment method of the present application is simple, which only needs to move the screen to realize it.

[0057] In some embodiments, the display area length IH of the image source matched by the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.9<IH / f<0.95; the exit pupil distance ED of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.57<ED / f<0.62. Satisfying the above range, the optical lens can match a larger size image source (display screen) to realize high-definition imaging and bring users an excellent sensory experience. At the same time, it is also beneficial to realize the long-focus performance of the lens, which can better present larger local details, making the picture more concentrated and compact, thereby meeting the visual experience of the human eye. And the exit pupil distance ED represents the distance from the eye entrance side to the light exit surface of the first lens on the optical axis, by reasonably controlling the ratio of the exit pupil distance and the focal length, the lens can have a larger entrance pupil distance, reduce the dizziness of the human eye when wearing, and improve the sensory experience.

[0058] In some embodiments, the combined focal length f345 of the third lens, the fourth lens and the fifth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.6<f345 / f<0.85. Satisfying the above range is beneficial to converge the light emitted from the image source side, so that the light smoothly transitions to the human eye observation area. At the same time, it is also beneficial to correct various aberrations of the optical lens and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0059] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.7<f1 / f<7; the light exit surface curvature radius R1 of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.4<R1 / f<0.9. Satisfying the above range can effectively converge the light, so that the emitted light enters the human eye observation area at a relatively parallel viewing angle, providing users with a better immersive experience.

[0060] In some embodiments, the focal length f2 of the second lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -2.5<f2 / f<-0.6; the light exit surface curvature radius R3 of the second lens and the light entrance surface curvature radius R4 of the second lens satisfy: -2<R3 / R4<-0.7. Satisfying the above range can appropriately slow down the turning degree of the light, and better disperse the light into the human eye, thereby providing a wide field of view display effect and improving the user's immersion.

[0061] In some embodiments, the focal length f3 of the third lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.3 < f3 / f < 0.6; the radius of curvature R6 of the light entrance surface of the third lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -0.32 < R6 / f < -0.22. Satisfying the above range is conducive to the convergence of light rays, allowing the light rays emitted from the image source side to smoothly enter the rear optical system, reducing the difficulty of correcting various aberrations, and better achieving high-quality imaging of the lens.

[0062] In some embodiments, the focal length f4 of the fourth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -5 < f4 / f < -0.7. Satisfying the above range can greatly diverge the light rays emitted from the image source side to increase the area of the projected virtual image, providing a better immersive experience for the user.

[0063] In some embodiments, the focal length f5 of the fifth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -200 < f5 / f < -0.5; the radius of curvature R10 of the light entrance surface of the fifth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.2 < R10 / f < 1.6. Satisfying the above range is conducive to diverging the light rays emitted from the image source side, allowing the outgoing light to enter the human eye observation area with a larger field of view angle, ensuring a large field of view angle while improving the overall imaging quality.

[0064] In some embodiments, the refractive index Nd2 of the second lens satisfies: 1.75 < Nd2 < 1.9; the refractive index Nd4 of the fourth lens satisfies: 1.7 < Nd4 < 1.85; the refractive index Nd5 of the fifth lens satisfies: 1.75 < Nd5 < 1.9. Satisfying the above range, by setting the second, fourth, and fifth lenses to have a larger refractive index, the light rays can be greatly turned, which is conducive to improving the imaging quality.

[0065] In some embodiments, the sum ∑CT of the center thicknesses of the first to fifth lenses along the optical axis and the sum ∑AT of the distances between any two adjacent lenses along the optical axis satisfy: 1.8 < ∑CT / ∑AT < 6; the sum ∑CT of the center thicknesses of the first to fifth lenses along the optical axis and the distance TL between the light exit surface of the first lens and the light entrance surface of the fifth lens along the optical axis satisfy: 0.6 < ∑CT / TL < 0.9. Satisfying the above range can make the structure of the lens more compact, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the lens. At the same time, it is convenient for the mobile image source (display) to adjust the diopter, thereby meeting the wearing needs of users with different diopters.

[0066] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the focal length f2 of the second lens satisfy: -3 < f1 / f2 < -1; the focal length f3 of the third lens and the focal length f4 of the fourth lens satisfy: -0.7 < f3 / f4 < -0.06. Satisfying the above range, the light rays at the edge of the large field of view can enter the human eye observation area at a more appropriate viewing angle, realizing a large field of view of the lens while satisfying the characteristics of low distortion and high image quality. At the same time, the light rays emitted from the image source side are better converged to enter the human eye observation area at a relatively gentle viewing angle, providing a better immersive experience for the user.

[0067] In some embodiments, the distance TL of the light exit surface of the first lens to the light entrance surface of the fifth lens on the optical axis and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.9 < TL / f < 1.3; the distance TL of the light exit surface of the first lens to the light entrance surface of the fifth lens on the optical axis and the display area length IH of the image source that can be matched by the optical lens satisfy: 1 < TL / IH < 1.4. Satisfying the above range, the lens has a longer focal length, can better present larger local details, improve the picture quality, and at the same time, the lens has a larger image plane, can match a larger size image source (display screen) to realize high-definition imaging, and bring an excellent sensory experience to the user.

[0068] In some embodiments, the effective aperture DM11 of the light exit surface of the first lens and the effective aperture DM52 of the light entrance surface of the fifth lens satisfy: 0.83 < DM11 / DM52 < 0.95. Satisfying the above range, by reasonably setting the aperture relationship of each lens, the light rays emitted by the display screen can enter the human eye observation area at a relatively parallel and wide viewing angle, ensuring that the system provides a larger eye movement range while improving the experience comfort of the user.

[0069] In some embodiments, the optical lens satisfies the condition formula: 19.5mm < f < 20.3mm; 49.5° < FOV < 50.5°; 18mm < IH < 18.5mm; wherein f represents the effective focal length of the optical lens, FOV represents the maximum field of view of the optical lens, and IH represents the display area length of the image source that can be matched by the optical lens. Satisfying the above range indicates that the optical lens provided by the embodiment of the application has the advantages of small distortion, long focal length, large exit pupil distance, large refractive power adjustable range, and can match a 4K high-resolution screen to realize high-definition imaging.

[0070] In some embodiments, the lens material in the optical lens provided by the present application can be glass or plastic. When the lens material is plastic, the production cost can be effectively reduced. When the lens material is glass, the geometric chromatic aberration of the optical lens can be effectively corrected due to the low dispersion of the glass itself. More specifically, the first lens, the second lens, the fourth lens and the fifth lens can all adopt glass lenses, and the third lens can adopt a glass lens or a plastic lens.

[0071] In some embodiments, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens and the fifth lens can adopt a spherical lens or an aspherical lens. Compared with the spherical structure, the aspherical structure can effectively reduce the aberration of the optical lens, thereby reducing the number of lenses and the size of the lenses, and better achieving the miniaturization of the lens. More specifically, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens and the fifth lens all adopt aspherical lenses, and the fourth lens adopts an aspherical lens or a spherical lens.

[0072] In various embodiments of the present application, when the lens adopts an aspherical lens, the shape of each aspherical surface of the optical lens satisfies the following equation:

[0073]

[0074] wherein z is the distance of the curved surface from the vertex of the curved surface in the direction of the optical axis, h is the distance from the optical axis to the curved surface, c is the curvature of the vertex of the curved surface, K is the quadratic surface coefficient, and B, C, D, E, F, G and H are the fourth-order, sixth-order, eighth-order, tenth-order, twelfth-order, fourteenth-order and sixteenth-order surface coefficients, respectively.

[0075] In addition, the present application also provides a near-eye display device, which comprises, in sequence along the direction of light signal transmission, an image source, the optical lens described above, and an image source for emitting light signals, wherein the light signals comprise image information; the optical lens is arranged in the light emitting direction of the image source, and the fifth lens is arranged closer to the image source than the first lens; and the optical lens is used for modulating and transmitting the light signals emitted by the image source to the human eye.

[0076] The present application will be further described in the following embodiments. In various embodiments, the thickness, the radius of curvature and the material selection of each lens in the optical lens are different, and the specific differences can be referred to the parameter table of each embodiment. The following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present application, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited to the following embodiments only, and any changes, substitutions, combinations or simplifications made without departing from the innovative points of the present application should be regarded as equivalent replacement methods, and are all included in the protection scope of the present application.

Each of the first lens L1, second lens L2, third lens L3, fourth lens L4, and fifth lens L5 includes an incident light surface near the image source side and an exit light surface near the entrance pupil side of the human eye. It can be understood that the surface of each lens near the image source 10 is called the incident light surface of that lens, and the surface of each lens near the entrance pupil side of the human eye is called the exit light surface of that lens.
