[0045] The features, principles, and other aspects of the present application are described in detail below.
[0046] Reference Figure 1As shown, the virtual reality system 100 according to the exemplary embodiments of the present application can include a visual lens 110 and a positioning lens 120. The combination of the visual lens 110 and the positioning lens 120 can realize the fusion of virtual content and real scene. The visual lens 110 provides virtual feeling, and the positioning lens 120 provides real environment, which increases the boundary and interaction while providing immersion. Specifically, the positioning lens 120 can be used to image the real scene, and the formed real image is transmitted to the display screen in the form of electrical signal; the image 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 into the user's eyes, so as to realize that the user sees the picture of virtual and real combination, and improve the user's immersion.
[0047] The visual lens 110 can be configured as a catadioptric visual optical system, and the number thereof can be one or more, and the positioning lens 120 can be configured as a video perspective optical system, and the number thereof can be one or more. In an example, the virtual reality system 100 can include two visual lenses 110 arranged symmetrically. In an example, the virtual reality system 100 further includes a body, the visual lens 110 can be arranged on the inner side of the body, and the positioning lens 120 can be arranged on the outer side of the body.
[0048] In the exemplary embodiments, the visual lens 110 can include a first element group, a second element group and a third element group arranged in sequence from a first side to a second side along a first optical axis, wherein the first element group can include a first lens, a reflective polarizing element and a quarter wave plate, the second element group can include a second lens, and the third element group can include a third lens. There can be air gaps between the first element group and the second element group, and between the second element group and the third element group.
[0049] In the exemplary embodiments, the first side can be a side away from the screen, and the second side can be a side close to the screen. Accordingly, the first side surface of each element (the first lens, the second lens, the reflective polarizing element, the quarter wave plate, the third lens, etc.) in the visual lens 110 can be the surface away from the screen, and the second side surface can be the surface close to the screen.
[0050] In the exemplary embodiments, the first lens, the second lens and the third lens all have positive refractive power. The use of lenses with positive refractive power can balance aberration, and the lenses can be used for divergence or convergence, so as to meet the performance requirements of a large field of view with only three lenses.
[0051] In an example embodiment, the first side or the second side of the first lens of the viewing lens 110 is attached with a reflective polarizing element and a quarter wave plate. The first side or the second side of the first lens can be a flat surface. The reflective polarizing element can reflect light in a certain direction and can transmit light orthogonal to the reflected light when the light passes through the reflective polarizing element. The quarter wave plate can be used to convert between circularly polarized light and linearly polarized light to achieve catadioptric, which is beneficial to shorten the length of the viewing lens 110.
[0052] In an example embodiment, the first side or the second side of the first lens, the second lens and the third lens of the viewing lens 110 can be aspherical surfaces. Aspherical lenses have better curvature radius characteristics, which have the advantages of improving distortion aberration and improving astigmatism aberration. By using aspherical lenses, aberrations that occur during imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, thereby improving the imaging quality.
[0053] In an example embodiment, the viewing lens 110 can further include a partial reflection element, which can be, for example, a partial reflection layer attached or coated on the first side or the second side of the second lens. The partial reflection layer has a semi-transmissive and semi-reflective effect on light. Image light from the display screen is finally projected to the user's eye after multiple refractions and reflections through the third lens, the second lens, the reflective polarizing element, the quarter wave plate, the first lens, and the partial reflection element. By providing the partial reflection layer on the first side or the second side of the second lens, in combination with the reflective polarizing element and the quarter wave plate, the light can be folded and reflected multiple times, thereby effectively reducing the length of the viewing lens.
[0054] In an example embodiment, the positioning lens 120 can include, in order from the object side to the image side along the second optical axis, 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. Adjacent two lenses among the first lens to the eighth lens can have an air gap therebetween.
[0055] The virtual reality system 100 according to the example embodiment of the present application can be used in various virtual reality display devices, such as a VR head-mounted device, an MR head-mounted device, or an AR electronic device, etc.
[0056] In the exemplary embodiment of the present application, the virtual reality system comprises a viewing lens and a positioning lens. The viewing lens comprises, in order from the first side to the second side along the first optical axis, a first element group, a second element group and a third element group. The first element group comprises a reflective polarizing element, a quarter-wave plate and a first lens with positive refractive power. The second element group comprises a second lens with positive refractive power. The third element group comprises a third lens with positive refractive power. The positioning lens comprises, in order from the object side to the image side along the second optical axis, 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. The first lens and the second lens have negative refractive power. The third lens has positive refractive power. The fourth lens can have positive or negative refractive power. The fifth lens has positive refractive power. The sixth lens has negative refractive power. The seventh lens and the eighth lens have positive refractive power. The real image formed by the positioning lens is transmitted to the display screen in the form of an electrical signal. The viewing lens is used to project the virtual image on the display screen and transmit the real image on the display screen.
[0057] The virtual reality system according to the exemplary embodiment of the present application can satisfy the following conditions: -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; wherein 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 center thickness of the fifth lens, CT7 is the center thickness of the seventh lens, CT6 is the center 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 viewing lens along 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 along the second optical axis.
[0058] The virtual reality system according to the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application comprises three catadioptric visual lenses, which can realize light path folding and reflection by using a polarizing element, and are beneficial to the thin design of the device; the virtual reality system is matched with eight super-wide-angle positioning lenses, wherein the first lens and the second lens of the positioning lens have negative focal power, which is beneficial to increasing the field of view of the system and expanding the range of the perspective captured real picture; while increasing the wearing feeling of the user, by limiting 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 away from the screen side surface, the total length of the lenses can be effectively shortened, and by controlling the ratio of the medium thickness of the fifth lens and the seventh lens to the medium thickness of the sixth lens in the positioning lens, the shape and medium thickness of the rear lenses in the visual lens and the positioning lens can be controlled; and by limiting the ratio of the maximum half image height to the focal length of the positioning lens, the positioning field of view and the incident light can be as large as possible, which makes the positioning more suitable for different environmental light sources and strengthens the overall effect of the visual fusion; in addition, by controlling the ratio of the total length of the visual lens to the total length of the positioning lens, the internal space arrangement of the overall machine can be facilitated, and interference can be avoided.
[0059] In the example embodiments, the visual lens of the virtual reality system can satisfy: -1.2 < Rna / (R3a+R4a) < 1.0, wherein R3a is the radius of curvature of the first side of the second lens, R4a is the radius of curvature of the second side of the second lens, Rna is the minimum value of the radii of curvature of the first side and the second side of the first lens, and n = 1 or 2. By controlling the ratio of the radii of curvature of the two sides of the first lens to the sum of the radii of curvature of the two sides of the second lens, the shape of the first lens and the second lens can be constrained, the edge light of the positive lens can be converged, and interference during assembly can be avoided.

By controlling the ratio of the effective focal length of the first lens to the Abbe number and the center thickness, the diameter of the first lens and the selection of the low dispersion coefficient material can be indirectly controlled, and the size of the lens on the human eye side can be specified.
[0061] In an example embodiment, the eyepiece lens of the virtual reality system can satisfy: -4.0 < (R4a+R5a) / (CT2a+CT3a) < -1.9, where R4a is the radius of curvature of the second side surface of the second lens, R5a is the radius of curvature of the first side surface of the third lens, CT2a is the center thickness of the second lens, and CT3a is the center thickness of the third lens. By controlling the ratio of the sum of the radii of curvature of the second lens on the screen side and the third lens on the screen side to the sum of the thicknesses of the second lens and the third lens, on the one hand, the basic forming and assembling strength can be ensured, and on the other hand, the focal length of the second lens and the third lens can be indirectly controlled to achieve screen light convergence.
[0062] In an example embodiment, the eyepiece lens of the virtual reality system can 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 effective focal length to the refractive index of the second lens to the ratio of the effective focal length to the refractive index of the third lens and limiting them within a reasonable range, the material selection range can be reduced, and the application of low-stress and birefringent materials is facilitated.
[0063] In an example embodiment, the eyepiece lens of the virtual reality system can satisfy: -7.5 < R6a / R5a+R4a / R3a < 7.6, where R6a is the radius of curvature of the second side surface of the third lens, R5a is the radius of curvature of the first side surface of the third lens, R4a is the radius of curvature of the second side surface of the second lens, and R3a is the radius of curvature of the first side surface of the second lens. By controlling the ratio of the radii of curvature of the third lens on the screen side and the second lens on the screen side and limiting the sum of the two within a certain range, the shapes of the two can be constrained, the edge light convergence is facilitated, and the edge brightness of the image is improved.
[0064] In an example embodiment, the eyepiece lens of the virtual reality system can satisfy: 29mm < TDa < 40.0mm, where TDa is the distance from the second side surface of the third element group to the screen of the eyepiece lens on the first optical axis. By limiting the distance from the surface of the third lens on the screen side of the eyepiece lens to the screen, the object distance can be controlled within a reasonable range to generate a virtual image with a suitable distance, thereby enhancing the visual experience.
[0065] In the example embodiment, the visual lens of the virtual reality system can satisfy: 0.5 < CT3a / (CT1a+CT2a) < 2.5, where CT3a is the center thickness of the third lens, CT1a is the center thickness of the first lens, and CT2a is the center thickness of the second lens. By controlling the ratio of the thickness of the third lens to the thicknesses of the first lens and the second lens, on the one hand, the lens group strength is ensured, and actual processing is ensured; on the other hand, the total length of the lens group is indirectly controlled, and the space occupation in the whole device is avoided.
[0066] In the example embodiment, the positioning lens of the virtual reality system can 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, the focal length distribution of the first lens in the positioning lens is beneficial, and the size of the object side field of view is indirectly controlled to realize the collection of as many real scene light rays as possible, thereby achieving accurate positioning.
[0067] In the example embodiment, the positioning lens of the virtual reality system can satisfy: -13.5 < (R11+R12) / f6 < -4.3, where R11 is the curvature radius of the object side surface of the sixth lens, R12 is the curvature radius of the image side surface 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 surface and the image side surface of the sixth lens to the focal length of the sixth lens, on the one hand, the lens diameter and the thickness of the sixth lens are indirectly constrained, which is beneficial for processing and forming, and on the other hand, the negative curvature design can make the light rays diverge, which is beneficial for cooperating with the front and rear positive lenses to weaken the aberration.
[0068] In the example embodiment, the positioning lens of the virtual reality system can 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 center thickness of the fifth lens, and CT7 is the center thickness of the seventh lens. By controlling the ratio of the distance from the object side surface of the first lens to the imaging surface of the positioning lens to the sum of the center thicknesses of the fifth lens and the seventh lens, on the one hand, the assembly and processing strength of the fifth lens and the seventh lens are ensured, and on the other hand, the total length of the positioning lens is further constrained, and the volume of the head-mounted device is compressed.
[0069] In the example embodiment, the positioning lens of the virtual reality system can satisfy: 5.8 < DT11 / CT1 / N1 < 12.5, where DT11 is the effective half aperture of the object side surface of the first lens, CT1 is the center thickness of the first lens, and N1 is the refractive index of the first lens. By controlling the ratio of the effective half aperture of the object side surface of the first lens to the center thickness and the refractive index, the focal length and the material selection of the first lens are indirectly controlled, the design range is reduced, and the processing feasibility is increased.
[0070] In the example embodiment, the positioning lens of the virtual reality system can 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 to the refractive index of the first lens and the ratio of the effective focal length to the refractive index of the third lens of the positioning lens, the field of view size and the angle of the incident light can be adjusted, which is beneficial for the recognition of different light environments.
[0071] In the example embodiment, the positioning lens of the virtual reality system can satisfy: 2.0 < (SAG11+SAG12) / (SAG81+SAG82) < 6.0, where SAG11 is the distance between the intersection of the object side of the first lens on the second optical axis and the vertex of the maximum effective semi-aperture on the second optical axis, SAG12 is the distance between the intersection of the image side of the first lens on the second optical axis and the vertex of the maximum effective semi-aperture on the second optical axis, SAG81 is the distance between the intersection of the object side of the eighth lens on the second optical axis and the vertex of the maximum effective semi-aperture on the second optical axis, and SAG82 is the distance between the intersection of the image side of the eighth lens on the second optical axis and the vertex of the maximum effective semi-aperture on the second optical axis. By limiting the distance between the intersection of the first lens and the eighth lens on the second optical axis and the vertex of the maximum effective semi-aperture on the second optical axis, the focal length and the volume of the first lens and the eighth lens can be indirectly controlled, and the light aperture can be adjusted to avoid the reduction of RI (refractive index) caused by insufficient brightness of the edge beam, which affects the optical positioning.
[0072] In the example embodiment, the positioning lens of the virtual reality system can 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 focal length of the fifth lens and the sixth lens to the total effective focal length of the positioning lens, the focal length distribution of the fifth lens and the sixth lens and the aberration control between positive and negative lenses can be facilitated.
[0073] In the example embodiment, the positioning lens of the virtual reality system can satisfy: -0.8 < f6 / f3 (N6 / N3) < 0.2; N3 > 1.6 and N6 > 1.6; wherein, 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 are made of high refractive index material, and by limiting the ratio of the focal length of the sixth lens to the focal length of the third lens and the ratio of the corresponding refractive index, and controlling the product of the two within a certain range, the thickness and half aperture in the lens are indirectly controlled, the small curvature radius design is realized, the processing and assembly are ensured, the volume of the positioning lens is further compressed, and the actual demand for light weight is met.
[0074] In an example embodiment, the virtual reality system of the present application can include at least one diaphragm. The diaphragm can constrain the light path and control the light intensity. The diaphragm can be arranged at a proper position of the visual lens or the positioning lens. In an example, a first diaphragm can be included, which can be located at the first side (the human eye side) of the visual lens. In an example, a second diaphragm can also be included, which can be located between the third lens and the fourth lens of the positioning lens.
[0075] In an example embodiment, the virtual reality system of the present application can further include a protective glass for protecting the photosensitive element located on the imaging surface.
[0076] In an example embodiment, the total effective focal length fa of the visual lens can be, for example, in the range of 31.08mm to 32.31mm, and the total effective focal length f of the positioning lens can be, for example, in the range of 1.20mm to 1.56mm.
[0077] The virtual reality system according to some embodiments of the present application, by reasonably setting the curvature radius, central thickness, surface shape, refractive index and Abbe number of the lens, and the effective focal length, entrance pupil diameter and other parameters of the optical system, is conducive to improving the imaging effect and ensuring the optical performance of the system; and by reasonably setting the diaphragm, air gap of the lens, and distance between the display or the imaging surface and other parameters, it is conducive to ensuring the molding and strength of the lens, and reducing the sensitivity of the lens; at the same time, it is conducive to constraining the total length of the optical system and improving the portability of the equipment; it can also increase the field of view and improve the wearing experience of consumers.
