[0038] In order to better understand the present application, a more detailed description will be made of various aspects of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these detailed descriptions are only descriptions of exemplary embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements. The expression "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0039] It should be noted that in this 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, without departing from the teaching of the present application, the first lens discussed below may also be referred to as the second lens or the first lens.

The drawings are only examples and are not drawn strictly to scale.

[0041] In this article, the paraxial region refers to the region near the optical axis. If the lens surface is convex and the position of the convex surface is not defined, 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 defined, it means that the lens surface is concave at least in the paraxial region. The surface of each lens closest to the object is called the object side of the lens, and the surface of each lens closest to the imaging plane is called the image side of the lens.

[0042] It should also be understood that the terms "comprises", "including", "having", "includes" and / or "comprising", when used in this specification, indicate the presence of the stated features, elements and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, elements, components and / or combinations thereof.

In addition, when describing embodiments of the present application, "may" is used to mean "one or more embodiments of the present application". And, the term "exemplary" is intended to refer to an example or illustration.

[0043] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical terms and scientific terms) used in this article have the same meaning as those commonly understood by ordinary technicians in the field to which this application belongs. It should also be understood that terms (such as terms defined in commonly used dictionaries) should be interpreted as having the same meaning as their meaning in the context of the relevant technology, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless explicitly defined in this article.

[0044] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The following examples only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several variations and improvements can also be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0045] The features, principles and other aspects of the present application are described in detail below.

[0046] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the virtual reality system 100 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present application may include a visual lens 110 and a positioning lens 120. By combining the visual lens 110 and the positioning lens 120, the integration of virtual content and real real scenes can be achieved. The visual lens 110 provides a virtual experience, and the positioning lens 120 provides a real environment, which increases boundaries and interactions while providing immersion. Specifically, the positioning lens 120 can be used to image real scenes, and the resulting real image is transmitted to the display screen in the form of an electrical signal; the imaging surface of the visual lens 110 can be located on the display screen, and the visual lens 110 can be used to project the virtual image on the display screen and the above-mentioned real image transmitted to the display screen, such as projecting it into the user's eyes, so that the user can see a picture that combines virtual and real, thereby improving the user's immersion.

[0047] The visual lens 110 may be configured as a catadioptric visual optical system, for example, and the number of the visual lens 110 may be one or more. The positioning lens 120 may be configured as a video perspective optical system, for example, and the number of the positioning lens 120 may be one or more. In one example, the virtual reality system 100 may include two visual lenses 110 that are symmetrically arranged. In one example, the virtual reality system 100 also includes a body, the visual lens 110 may be arranged on the inner side of the body, and the positioning lens 120 may be arranged on the outer side of the body.

[0048] In an exemplary embodiment, the eyepiece lens 110 may include a first element group, a second element group, and a third element group arranged in sequence from the first side to the second side along the first optical axis, wherein the first element group may include a first lens, a reflective polarizing element, and a quarter wave plate, the second element group may include a second lens, and the third element group may include a third lens. There may be an air gap between the first element group and the second element group, and between the second element group and the third element group.

[0049] In an exemplary embodiment, the first side may be a side away from the screen, and the second side may be a side close to the screen. Accordingly, the first side of each element (first lens, second lens, reflective polarizing element, quarter wave plate, third lens, etc.) in the eyepiece lens 110 may be a surface away from the screen, and the second side may be a surface close to the screen.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, the first lens, the second lens, and the third lens all have positive refractive power. Using lenses with positive refractive power can balance aberrations and diverge or converge through the lenses, thereby meeting the performance requirements of a large field of view angle with only three lenses.

[0051] In an exemplary embodiment, a reflective polarizing element and a quarter wave plate are attached to the first side or the second side of the first lens of the eyepiece lens 110. The first side or the second side of the first lens can be a plane. When light passes through the reflective polarizing element, the reflective polarizing element can reflect light in a certain direction and transmit light orthogonal to the reflected light. The quarter wave plate can be used to convert between circularly polarized light and linearly polarized light to achieve the refraction of the light path, which is conducive to shortening the length of the eyepiece lens 110.

[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, the first side surface or the second side surface of the first lens, the second lens, and the third lens of the visual lens 110 may be an aspherical surface. An aspherical lens has a better curvature radius characteristic, and has the advantages of improving distortion aberration and improving astigmatism aberration. By using an aspherical lens, the aberration occurring during imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, thereby improving the imaging quality.

[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, the eyepiece lens 110 may also include a partial reflective element, which may be, for example, a partial reflective layer attached or plated on the first side or the second side of the second lens. The partial reflective layer has a semi-transmissive and semi-reflective effect on the light. The image light from the display screen is refracted and reflected multiple times by the third lens, the second lens, the reflective polarizing element, the quarter-wave plate, the first lens, and the partial reflective element, and is finally projected to the user's eyes. By providing a partial reflective layer on the first side or the second side of the second lens, and combining the reflective polarizing element and the quarter-wave plate, the light can be refracted multiple times, thereby effectively reducing the body length of the eyepiece lens.

[0054] In an exemplary embodiment, the positioning lens 120 may include a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, and an eighth lens arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side along the second optical axis. An air gap may be provided between adjacent two lenses of the first lens to the eighth lens.

[0055] The virtual reality system 100 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present application can be used in a variety of virtual reality display devices, such as a VR head-mounted device, an MR head-mounted device, or an AR electronic device.

[0056] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the virtual reality system includes a visual lens and a positioning lens, the visual lens includes a first element group, a second element group and a third element group in sequence from the first side to the second side along the first optical axis, wherein the first element group includes a reflective polarizing element, a quarter wave plate and a first lens with positive optical power; the second element group includes a second lens with positive optical power; the third element group includes a third lens with positive optical power; the positioning lens includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens and an eighth lens in sequence from the object side to the image side along the second optical axis, the first lens and the second lens have negative optical power, the third lens has positive optical power, the fourth lens may have positive optical power or negative optical power, the fifth lens has positive optical power, the sixth lens has negative optical power, and the seventh lens and the eighth lens have positive optical power. Wherein, the real image formed by the positioning lens is transmitted to the display screen in the form of an electrical signal, and the visual lens is used to project the virtual image on the display screen and the real image transmitted to the display screen.

[0057] The virtual reality system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application can satisfy: -11.0 < (f2a + f3a) / (R3a + R5a) < 0.3; 11.2 < (CT5 + CT7) / CT6 < 13.3; 1.5 < ImgH / f < 2.2; and 2.2 < TTLa / TTL < 4.7; where f2a is the effective focal length of the second lens, f3a is the effective focal length of the third lens, R3a is the radius of curvature of the first side surface of the second lens, R5a is the radius of curvature of the first side surface of the third lens, CT5 is the central thickness of the fifth lens, CT7 is the central thickness of the seventh lens, CT6 is the central thickness of the sixth lens, ImgH is half of the image height corresponding to the maximum field of view angle of the positioning lens, f is the total effective focal length of the positioning lens, TTLa is the distance from the first side surface of the first element group to the screen of the visual lens on the first optical axis, and TTL is the distance from the object side surface of the first lens to the imaging surface of the positioning lens on the second optical axis.

[0058] The virtual reality system according to the above embodiment of the present application includes a three-mirror catadioptric visual lens, which can achieve optical path folding and reflection by using a polarizing element, facilitating the thin and light design of the device; it is paired with an eight-element ultra-wide-angle positioning lens, where the first lens and the second lens of the positioning lens have negative optical powers, which is beneficial to increasing the field of view angle of the system and expanding the range of capturing real-world images in perspective; while enhancing the wearing comfort of the user, by restricting the ratio of the sum of the effective focal lengths of the second lens and the third lens in the visual lens to the sum of the radii of curvature of the corresponding lens surfaces away from the screen side, the overall length of the lens can be effectively shortened, and by controlling the ratio of the sum of the central thicknesses of the fifth lens and the seventh lens to the central thickness of the sixth lens in the positioning lens, it is beneficial to control the shapes and central thicknesses of the rear-section lenses in the visual lens and the positioning lens; and by restricting the ratio of the maximum half-image height to the focal length of the positioning lens to expand the positioning field of view and incident light as much as possible, making it more suitable for positioning under different ambient light sources and strengthening the overall effect of visual integration; in addition, by controlling the ratio of the overall lengths of the visual lens and the positioning lens, it is beneficial to the internal space layout of the whole machine and avoids interference.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, the visual lens of the virtual reality system can satisfy: -1.2 < Rna / (R3a + R4a) < 1.0, where R3a is the radius of curvature of the first side surface of the second lens, R4a is the radius of curvature of the second side surface of the second lens, Rna is the minimum value of the radii of curvature of the first side surface and the second side surface of the first lens, and n = 1 or 2. By controlling the ratio of the radii of curvature of the two side surfaces of the first lens in the visual lens to the sum of the radii of curvature of the two side surfaces of the second lens, it is beneficial to restricting the shapes of the first lens and the second lens, facilitating the convergence of marginal rays of the positive lens, and avoiding assembly interference.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, the visual lens of the virtual reality system may satisfy: 0.2 < f1a / V1a / CT1a < 8.0, where f1a is the effective focal length of the first lens, V1a is the Abbe number of the first lens, and CT1a is the central thickness of the first lens. By controlling the ratio of the effective focal length, Abbe number, and central thickness of the first lens of the visual lens, it is beneficial to indirectly control the diameter of the first lens and the selection of low-dispersion coefficient materials, and standardize the size of the lens on the human eye side.

[0061] In an exemplary embodiment, the visual lens of the virtual reality system may satisfy: -4.0 < (R4a + R5a) / (CT2a + CT3a) < -1.9, where R4a is the radius of curvature of the second side of the second lens, R5a is the radius of curvature of the first side of the third lens, CT2a is the central thickness of the second lens, and CT3a is the central thickness of the third lens. By controlling the ratio of the sum of the radii of curvature of the second lens close to the screen side and the third lens far from the screen side to the sum of the central thicknesses of the second lens and the third lens, on the one hand, it is beneficial to ensure the basic forming and assembly strength, and on the other hand, it can indirectly control the focal lengths of the second lens and the third lens to achieve screen light convergence.

[0062] In an exemplary embodiment, the visual lens of the virtual reality system may satisfy: 2.0 < (f2a / N2a) / (f3a / N3a) < 11.0, where f2a is the effective focal length of the second lens, N2a is the refractive index of the second lens, f3a is the effective focal length of the third lens, and N3a is the refractive index of the third lens. By controlling the ratio of the ratio of the effective focal length to the refractive index of the second lens of the visual lens to the ratio of the effective focal length to the refractive index of the third lens and limiting the two within a reasonable range, it is beneficial to narrow the material selection range and facilitate the application of low-stress and birefringent materials.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, the visual lens of the virtual reality system may satisfy: -7.5 < R6a / R5a + R4a / R3a < 7.6, where R6a is the radius of curvature of the second side of the third lens, R5a is the radius of curvature of the first side of the third lens, R4a is the radius of curvature of the second side of the second lens, and R3a is the radius of curvature of the first side of the second lens. By controlling the ratio of the radius of curvature of the third lens close to the screen side to the radius of curvature far from the screen side and the ratio of the radius of curvature of the second lens close to the screen side to the radius of curvature far from the screen side, and limiting the sum of the two within a certain range, it is beneficial to constrain the shapes of the two, facilitate marginal light convergence, and improve the imaging marginal brightness.

[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, the visual lens of the virtual reality system may satisfy: 29 mm < TDa < 40.0 mm, where TDa is the distance from the second side surface of the third lens group to the screen of the visual lens on the first optical axis. By restricting the distance from the side surface of the third lens of the visual lens close to the screen to the screen, it is beneficial to control the object distance within a reasonable range so as to generate a virtual image with an appropriate distance, enhancing the visual experience.

[0065] In an exemplary embodiment, the visual lens of the virtual reality system may satisfy: 0.5 < CT3a / (CT1a + CT2a) < 2.5, where CT3a is the central thickness of the third lens, CT1a is the central thickness of the first lens, and CT2a is the central thickness of the second lens. By controlling the ratio of the central thickness of the third lens in the visual lens to the sum of the central thicknesses of the first lens and the second lens, on the one hand, it is beneficial to ensure the assembly strength of the lens group and guarantee actual processing; on the other hand, it is beneficial to indirectly control the total length of the lens group and avoid large space occupation within the whole device.

[0066] In an exemplary embodiment, the positioning lens of the virtual reality system may satisfy: -0.2 < f / f1 < -0.15, where f is the total effective focal length of the positioning lens and f1 is the effective focal length of the first lens. By controlling the ratio of the total effective focal length of the positioning lens to the effective focal length of the first lens, it is beneficial to the focal length distribution of the first lens in the positioning lens, indirectly controlling the object-side field of view size to achieve as much real-scene light convergence as possible, thereby achieving precise positioning.

[0067] In an exemplary embodiment, the positioning lens of the virtual reality system may satisfy: -13.5 < (R11 + R12) / f6 < -4.3, where R11 is the curvature radius of the object side of the sixth lens, R12 is the curvature radius of the image side of the sixth lens, and f6 is the effective focal length of the sixth lens. By controlling the ratio of the sum of the curvature radii of the object side and the image side of the sixth lens in the positioning lens to its focal length, on the one hand, it indirectly restricts the lens diameter and central thickness of the sixth lens, facilitating processing and forming; on the other hand, the negative curvature design can make the light diverge, facilitating cooperation with the front and rear positive lenses to weaken aberration.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment, the positioning lens of the virtual reality system may satisfy: 3.7 < TTL / (CT5 + CT7) < 4.3, where TTL is the distance from the object side surface of the first lens to the imaging surface of the positioning lens on the second optical axis, CT5 is the central thickness of the fifth lens, and CT7 is the central thickness of the seventh lens. By controlling the ratio of the distance from the object side surface of the first lens of the positioning lens to the imaging surface to the sum of the central thicknesses of the fifth lens and the seventh lens, on the one hand, it is beneficial to ensure the assembly and processing strength of the fifth lens and the seventh lens; on the other hand, it is beneficial to further restrict the total length of the positioning lens and compress the volume of the head-mounted device.

[0069] In an exemplary embodiment, the positioning lens of the virtual reality system may satisfy: 5.8 < DT11 / CT1 / N1 < 12.5, where DT11 is the effective semi-aperture of the object side of the first lens, CT1 is the central thickness of the first lens, and N1 is the refractive index of the first lens. By controlling the ratio of the effective semi-aperture of the object side of the first lens of the positioning lens to the central thickness and the refractive index, it is beneficial to indirectly control the focal length and material selection of the first lens, narrow the design range, and increase the processing feasibility.

[0070] In an exemplary embodiment, the positioning lens of the virtual reality system may satisfy: -2.5 < f1 / N1 / (f3 / N3) < -1.5, where f1 is the effective focal length of the first lens, N1 is the refractive index of the first lens, f3 is the effective focal length of the third lens, and N3 is the refractive index of the third lens. By controlling the ratio of the effective focal length of the first lens of the positioning lens to the refractive index and the ratio of the effective focal length of the third lens to the refractive index, it is convenient to regulate the field of view size of the incident light and the incident light angle, which is beneficial to the recognition of different light environments.

[0071] In an exemplary embodiment, the positioning lens of the virtual reality system may satisfy: 2.0 < (SAG11 + SAG12) / (SAG81 + SAG82) < 6.0, where SAG11 is the distance between the intersection point of the object side of the first lens on the second optical axis and the vertex of the maximum effective semi-aperture of the object side of the first lens on the second optical axis, SAG12 is the distance between the intersection point of the image side of the first lens on the second optical axis and the vertex of the maximum effective semi-aperture of the image side of the first lens on the second optical axis, SAG81 is the distance between the intersection point of the object side of the eighth lens on the second optical axis and the vertex of the maximum effective semi-aperture of the object side of the eighth lens on the second optical axis, and SAG82 is the distance between the intersection point of the image side of the eighth lens on the second optical axis and the vertex of the maximum effective semi-aperture of the image side of the eighth lens on the second optical axis. By restricting the distances between the intersection points of the object and image sides of the first lens and the eighth lens of the positioning lens on the second optical axis and the vertices of the maximum effective semi-apertures on the second optical axis, on the one hand, the focal lengths and volume sizes of the first lens and the eighth lens can be indirectly controlled, and on the other hand, it is beneficial to the regulation of the light aperture, avoiding the reduction of RI (refractive index) caused by insufficient brightness of the marginal beam, which affects optical positioning.

[0072] In an exemplary embodiment, the positioning lens of the virtual reality system may satisfy: -0.8 < (f5 + f6) / f < 1.4, where f5 is the effective focal length of the fifth lens, f6 is the effective focal length of the sixth lens, and f is the total effective focal length of the positioning lens. By controlling the ratio of the sum of the focal lengths of the fifth lens and the sixth lens of the positioning lens to the total effective focal length of the positioning lens, it is convenient for the focal length distribution of the fifth lens and the sixth lens and the aberration regulation between the positive and negative lenses.

[0073] In an exemplary embodiment, the positioning lens of the virtual reality system may satisfy: -0.8 < f6 / f3 * (N6 / N3) < -0.2; N3 > 1.6 and N6 > 1.6; where f3 is the effective focal length of the third lens, f6 is the effective focal length of the sixth lens, N3 is the refractive index of the third lens, and N6 is the refractive index of the sixth lens. The third lens and the sixth lens of the positioning lens adopt high refractive index materials. By restricting the ratio of the focal lengths of the sixth lens to the third lens and the corresponding refractive index ratio, and controlling the product of the two within a certain range, it is beneficial to indirectly control the center thickness and semi-aperture of the lens, achieve a small radius of curvature design, ensure processing, forming, and assembly, facilitate further compression of the volume of the positioning lens, and meet the actual requirements of light weight.

[0074] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality system of the present application may include at least one aperture stop. The aperture stop can constrain the light path and control the light intensity. The aperture stop can be set at an appropriate position of the visual lens or the positioning lens. In one example, a first aperture stop may be included, and the first aperture stop may be located on the first side (the human eye side) of the visual lens. In one example, a second aperture stop may also be included, and the second aperture stop may be located between the third lens and the fourth lens of the positioning lens.

[0075] In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual reality system of the present application may further include a protective glass for protecting the photosensitive element located on the imaging surface.

[0076] In an exemplary embodiment, the total effective focal length fa of the visual lens may be, for example, in the range of 31.08 mm to 32.31 mm, and the total effective focal length f of the positioning lens may be, for example, in the range of 1.20 mm to 1.56 mm.
