[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0036] In the drawings, the size of the constituent elements, the thickness of the layer or the area may be exaggerated for the sake of clarity. Therefore, any implementation of the present disclosure is not necessarily limited to the size shown in the drawings, and the shapes and sizes of the components in the drawings do not reflect the true proportions. In addition, the drawings schematically show ideal examples, and any implementation of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.
[0037] At present, multi-focus display technology (MFD) is different from traditional display technology. It can display different content on display screens at different distances. Among them, the head-up display (HUD) is a common technology in the automotive and aviation fields. It projects key information into the driver's or pilot's field of view in a transparent way, so that they can obtain necessary information without shifting their gaze. The current in-vehicle HUD is mostly combined with augmented display technology (AR). ARHUD combines virtual information with real-world scenes, allowing drivers or pilots to see enhanced information in their field of view. ARHUD can seamlessly integrate with road scenes by projecting navigation routes, traffic signs, warning information, etc., providing more intuitive and rich driving assistance functions.
[0038] However, the focal length of the display screen in the existing HUD display device is fixed. When the human eye views the display screen, the eye focuses on the same image plane for a long time, which conflicts with the brain's regulation of the optic nerve. When the human eye continues to view such a display screen for too long, fatigue and dizziness will occur, resulting in convergence conflict.
[0039] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application proposes an optical system. Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of an optical system proposed in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the optical system includes: a polarization conversion component 2, which is used to convert incident light into multiple first light rays with different polarization states; a zoom lens unit 3, which is used to change the propagation direction of each of the multiple first light rays to obtain multiple second light rays, and the zoom lens unit 3 has different refraction angles for the first light rays with different polarization states; a reflection component, which is used to reflect the multiple second light rays to obtain multiple third light rays, and each of the third light rays is focused on a different image plane to form a plurality of images, the distances from different image planes to the observation point are different, and the image contents of different image planes are the same.
[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the polarization conversion component 2 is configured to change the polarization state of the incident light, and emit a plurality of first light rays with different polarization states to the zoom lens unit 3; the zoom lens unit 3 is configured to have different deflection capabilities for the first light rays with different polarization states, and after receiving the first light ray, deflects the first light ray to form a plurality of second light rays; the reflection component forms the third light ray by reflecting and amplifying the second light ray and modulating the propagation path of the second light ray, so that the third light ray is focused on different image planes, thereby forming a virtual image of the observation point for observation on the image plane.
[0041] Since the zoom lens unit 3 has different refraction angles for the first light rays of different polarization states, the distances from the multiple image planes to the observation point obtained by the second light ray passing through the reflective component are different. The distances from different image planes to the observation point are different. When the user observes at the observation point, he sees virtual images on multiple different image planes. The image contents of different image planes are the same. Through the adaptive adjustment function of the human eye, when the human eye focuses on the image content of one of the image planes, the other image planes are blurred, thereby being consistent with the feeling of the human eye when viewing the real scene and eliminating the convergence conflict.
[0042] In some optional embodiments, the plurality of first light rays include a first polarized light ray and a second polarized light ray, and the first polarized light ray and the second polarized light ray have different polarization states; the second light ray includes a first refracted light ray corresponding to the first polarized light ray and a second refracted light ray corresponding to the second polarized light ray, and the third light ray includes a first reflected light ray and a second reflected light ray. The reflecting component is used to reflect the first refracted light ray to obtain the first reflected light ray, and to reflect the second refracted light ray to obtain the second reflected light ray; the first reflected light ray is focused on the first image plane to form an image, and the second reflected light ray is focused on the second image plane to form an image.
[0043] Figure 7 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of forming a first image plane and a second image plane in an optical system proposed in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 As shown, the first image plane 51 is located between the observation point and the preset position 53, and the second image plane 52 is located on the side of the preset position 53 away from the observation point. In the embodiment of the present application, the first image plane 51 and the second image plane 52 with different distances to the observation point are formed by deflecting the first polarized light and the second polarized light in different polarization states at different angles, so that when the user observes the image content of the first image plane 51 or the second image plane 52 at the observation point, the convergence conflict is eliminated by focusing on one of the image of the first image plane 51 and the image of the second image plane 52, while ensuring that the image content seen by the user at the observation point is near the preset position 53.
[0044] For example, Figure 7 For example, the distance from the first image plane 51 corresponding to the first polarized light to the observation point is Z1, the distance from the second image plane 52 corresponding to the second polarized light to the observation point is Z2, and the distance from the preset position 53 to the observation point is Z, wherein Z1 is smaller than Z, and Z is smaller than Z2.
[0045] In some optional embodiments, one of the first polarized light and the second polarized light is s-type polarized light, and the other is p-type polarized light. Figure 3FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of refraction of light of different polarization states by a zoom lens unit in an optical system proposed in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the zoom lens unit 3 has different refraction angles for the s-type polarized light and the p-type polarized light, and the focal length of the s-type polarized light based on the light convergence ability of the zoom lens unit 3 is greater than the focal length of the p-type polarized light based on the light convergence ability of the zoom lens unit 3, so that the distances from the first image plane and the second image plane where the first reflected light and the second reflected light corresponding to the s-type polarized light and the p-type polarized light are focused respectively to the observation point are different.
[0046] In some optional embodiments, in order to merge the image contents of the first image plane 51 and the image plane 52 so that when a user observes the image contents based on the first image plane 51 and the second image plane 52, the observed image contents are at the predicted position, the present application adjusts the image brightness of the first image plane 51 and the image brightness of the second image plane 52. Specifically, the incident light includes a first incident light and a second incident light of different brightness; the polarization conversion component is used to transmit the first incident light and form the first polarized light, and to transmit the second incident light and form the second polarized light. Figure 7 As shown, when the first polarized light and the second polarized light with different brightness form the corresponding first image plane 51 and the second image plane 52, the brightness of the first image plane 51 and the second image plane 52 are different. When the human eye observes the first image plane 51 and the second image plane 52 at the observation point, the first image plane 51 and the second image plane 52 are weightedly fused with their respective brightness as weights, so that the image content observed by the user's eye is at the predicted position 53 between the first image plane 51 and the second image plane 52, and the depth sense of the image content of the first image plane 51 and the second image plane 52 is achieved.
[0047] In some optional embodiments, in order to further enhance the effect of eliminating convergence conflict, the incident light further includes at least one third incident light, the multiple first light further includes at least one third polarized light, the third polarized light has a different polarization direction from the first polarized light and the second polarized light; the polarization conversion component 2 is used to pass the third incident light and form the third polarized light. The second light further includes a third refracted light corresponding to the third polarized light, the third light further includes a third reflected light, the reflective component is used to reflect the third refracted light to obtain the third reflected light, the third reflected light is focused on the third image plane to form an image, because the third polarized light has a different polarization direction from the first polarized light and the second polarized light, the distance from the third image plane to the observation point is different from the first image plane and the second image plane, and the third image plane is located between the first image plane 51 and the second image plane 52. An image is formed by focusing the third reflected light on the third image plane. When a user observes the image content at an observation point, the image of the first image plane 51, the image of the second image plane 52 and the image of the third image plane are focused to blur the other image planes, thereby eliminating convergence conflicts under the action of the adaptive adjustment function of the human eye.
[0048] In some optional embodiments, when the multiple first light rays include a first polarized light ray and a second polarized light ray, the polarization conversion component 2 includes at least one polarization modulation unit, and the polarization modulation unit is configured to transmit the incident light ray and form the first polarized light ray and the second polarized light ray.

[0050] In some optional implementations, the zoom lens unit 3 includes an integrally formed zoom lens.

Since it was proposed, it has been used in the design and manufacture of various optical components, including lenses, wave plates, polarizers, and the like.
[0053] Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the refraction of light of different polarization states by a zoom lens unit of a metasurface lens array in an optical system proposed in one embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 6 As shown, the metasurface lens array 32 is configured to have different phase modulation capabilities for light of different wavelengths, so that the first light can obtain image planes at different distances after passing through the metasurface lens array 32. Exemplarily, the metasurface lens array 32 has different refraction angles for the s-type polarized light and the p-type polarized light, and the focal length of the s-type polarized light refracted by the metasurface lens array 32 is greater than the focal length of the p-type polarized light refracted by the metasurface lens array 32, so that the first image plane 51 and the second image plane 52 formed by the second light corresponding to the s-type polarized light and the p-type polarized light are at different distances from the observation point.
