[0002] Automobiles have become an indispensable means of transportation in people's daily lives. With the increasing number of automobiles, the frequency of traffic accidents is also getting higher and higher. In order to improve driving safety, head up displays (HUDs), especially augmented reality head up displays (AR-HUDs), have become a popular research direction.

[0003] In order to reduce the volume of the HUD, a new type of HUD using a waveguide as the transmission image light has become the research focus. In the waveguide HUD solution, it is usually necessary to arrange a correction element in the light output direction of the waveguide to correct problems such as image distortion caused by the windshield. However, it should be noted that when the correction element is a single component, it will additionally introduce chromatic aberration to the HUD system, also causing image quality degradation. If such a correction element is a multi-component combination, it will lead to an increase in the volume and cost of the HUD system.

[0004] Therefore, how to use a single element to correct the deterioration of image quality caused by the windshield glass and at the same time eliminate the chromatic aberration introduced by the single correction element is a problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0043] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0044] The following explanations are made to facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of the present application.

[0045] First, for the textual descriptions in the embodiments of the present application shown below or the terms in the drawings, terms such as "first", "second", etc. and various numerical numbers are only for convenience of description and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence, and do not limit the scope of the embodiments of the present application. For example, to distinguish different lenses, etc.

[0046] Second, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof in the embodiments of the present application shown below are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that comprises a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0047] Third, in the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" are used to represent examples, illustrations, or explanations. Embodiments or design solutions described as "exemplarily" or "for example" should not be construed as being more preferred or having more advantages than other embodiments or design solutions. The use of words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" is intended to present relevant concepts in a specific manner for easy understanding.

[0048] Fourth, in the embodiments of the present application, image light refers to light carrying an image (or image information) and is used to generate an image.

[0049] Fifth, in the drawings of the present application, for ease of illustration, the thickness, size, and shape of each optical element have been slightly exaggerated. Specifically, the shapes of the optical elements shown in the drawings are shown by way of examples. For example, the shape of the curved mirror in the present application is not limited to the spherical or aspherical shapes shown in the drawings. And the drawings are only examples and are not drawn strictly to scale.

[0050] Sixth, unless otherwise defined, all terms used in the present application (including technical terms and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application pertains. It should also be understood that terms (such as those defined in a common dictionary) should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless clearly defined herein.

[0051] Seventh, the present application relates to optical waveguides. Optical waveguides can generally be divided into two types: geometric waveguides (Geometric Waveguide) and diffractive waveguides (Diffractive Waveguide). Among them, geometric waveguides mainly include array optical waveguides and zigzag optical waveguides. Diffractive waveguides mainly include surface relief grating waveguides (Surface Relief Grating) manufactured using lithography technology and volumetric holographic grating waveguides (Volumetric Holographic Grating) manufactured based on holographic interference technology.

[0052] Eighth, in the present application, some numerical values such as the thickness and radius of optical elements are given in a table. It should be understood that different precision values of these numerical values should also be within the protection scope of the present application. For example, when the optical element is a lens and the surface radius given in the table for this lens is 29.98 m, the embodiments of the present application also protect the surface radius of this lens being 29.9810 mm, or 30 mm. In addition, numerical values near 29.98 m or approximate values of 29.98 m are also within the protection scope of the present application. Here, approximation refers to methods such as rounding or rounding up or down.

[0053] Ninth, the present application relates to focal power. In an optical system, focal power is used to measure the ability of the optical system to converge or diverge light rays. Among them, an optical system with positive focal power converges light rays. Conversely, an optical system with negative focal power diverges light rays.

[0054] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the HUD device provided by the embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the HUD device is installed on a vehicle. The HUD device is used to project the vehicle's status information, indication information of external objects, navigation information, etc. onto the driver's field of vision through the vehicle's windshield (which can also be called the windscreen). The status information includes but is not limited to information such as driving speed, driving mileage, fuel level, water temperature, and headlight status. The indication information of external objects includes but is not limited to safe vehicle distance, surrounding obstacles, and reverse image, etc. The navigation information includes but is not limited to direction arrows, distance, and driving time, etc.

[0055] Among them, the virtual images corresponding to the navigation information and the indication information of external objects can be superimposed on the real environment outside the vehicle, enabling the driver to obtain an augmented reality visual effect. For example, it can be used for augmented reality (AR) navigation, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, etc. Since the virtual image corresponding to the navigation information can be combined with the real scene, the HUD device is usually used in conjunction with the advanced driving assistant system (ADAS) of the vehicle. In order not to interfere with the road conditions, the virtual image corresponding to the instrument information is usually about 2 to 3 meters away from the human eye. In order to better integrate the virtual image corresponding to the navigation information with the real road surface, the virtual image corresponding to the navigation information is generally about 7 to 15 meters away from the human eye. Among them, the position where the virtual image of the navigation information is located is called the far focal plane, and the plane where the virtual image of the instrument information is located is called the near focal plane.

[0056] Currently, the research focus of HUD devices is mainly concentrated on how to reduce the device volume. Among them, an effective solution to reduce the volume of HUD devices is to use an optical waveguide as the medium for image light transmission. In this solution, after the image light enters the optical waveguide from the coupling region of the optical waveguide, it is totally reflected and exits parallel from the coupling-out region of the optical waveguide, and then enters the human eye through the windshield, enabling the human eye to see the virtual image. In this solution, the optical waveguide is only responsible for transmitting the image light and generally does not perform any "work" on the image itself (such as magnification or reduction), that is, it can be understood as "parallel light in, parallel light out". However, due to different curvatures at different positions of the windshield, the direction and / or angle of the image light reflected into the human eye are changed and are no longer parallel, resulting in poor image quality seen by the human eye. Therefore, in the optical waveguide HUD system, a correction element also needs to be arranged above the coupling-out region of the optical waveguide to correct the image quality degradation caused by the windshield. However, a single correction element will bring additional system chromatic aberration to the HUD system, and a combined correction element will cause the volume of the HUD device to increase.

[0057] In view of this, the present application proposes a display device that can compensate for the chromatic aberration introduced by the correction element for correcting the curvature of the windshield, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the imaging quality and realizing the effect of enhancing the user experience.

[0058] Figure 2 It is a schematic structural diagram of a display device 200 provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 2As shown, the display device 200 includes a projection module 201, a waveguide coupling module 202, an optical waveguide 203, and a windshield correction element 204. Among them, the projection module 201 is used to project image light onto the waveguide coupling module 202. The waveguide coupling module 202 is used to couple the image light from the projection module 201 into the optical waveguide 203, and is also used to compensate for the chromatic aberration of the windshield correction element 204. The optical waveguide 203 is used to emit the image light from the waveguide coupling module 202 to the windshield correction element 204. The windshield correction element 204 is used to adjust the transmission angle and / or transmission direction of the image light from the optical waveguide, and emit the adjusted image light to the windshield glass.

[0059] It can be understood that the image light emitted by the optical waveguide 203 is approximately parallel light. Therefore, when the display device 200 does not include the windshield correction element 204, the approximately parallel light emitted by the optical waveguide 203 is no longer approximately parallel light after being reflected by the windshield glass with a curvature change, resulting in deterioration of the image viewed by the human eye, such as distortion. Therefore, in order to eliminate the deterioration of the image quality caused by the windshield glass, a windshield correction element 204 is provided in front of the windshield glass. By adjusting the propagation angle and / or propagation direction of the image light, the image light is deflected. When the deflected image light is deflected by the windshield glass again, the emitted light is approximately parallel light, thus avoiding the influence of the windshield glass on the image quality. It should be noted that the deflection effects of the windshield correction element 204 and the windshield glass on the image light can be measured by different parameters. For example, parameters such as the focal length, refractive index of the windshield correction element 204 or the windshield glass itself, the distance between the windshield correction element 204 and the windshield glass, the optical power of the windshield correction element 204 and the windshield glass respectively, and the optical power of the combined system composed of the windshield correction element 204 and the windshield glass. In the solution of this application, the optical power is taken as an example of the parameter for measuring the correction effect. Specifically, in the solution of this application, by designing the optical power of the combined system of the windshield correction element 204 and the windshield glass to be approximately 0, the correction effect of the windshield correction element 204 on the windshield glass is reflected. Optionally, the optical power Φ 1 of the windshield glass and the optical power Φ 2 of the windshield correction element satisfy:

[0060] -0.5m -1 ≤(Φ 1 +Φ 2 )≤0.5m -1 .

[0061] It should be noted that there are light rays with different wavelengths in the image light of the incident windshield correction element 204. When light rays of multiple wavelengths pass through the windshield correction element 204, due to the different deflections of light rays with different wavelengths by the windshield correction element 204, the light rays with different wavelengths cannot be focused on the same plane. In severe cases, the generated display image will have color fringes, affecting the user's viewing experience. Therefore, in this application, the waveguide coupling module 202 compensates for the dispersion phenomenon existing in the windshield correction element 204. Specifically, in the solution of this application, by designing the chromatic aberration of the waveguide coupling module 202, the chromatic aberration value of the waveguide coupling module 202 is made close to but in the opposite direction to the chromatic aberration value of the windshield correction element 204, that is, the chromatic aberration of the combined system formed by the waveguide coupling module 202 and the windshield correction element 204 is close to zero, thereby achieving the effect of chromatic aberration compensation. Optionally, when using C light and F light to characterize the chromatic aberration value, in the display device 200 provided in this application, the chromatic aberration value Δθ CF1 of the windshield correction element 204 and the chromatic aberration value Δθ CF2 of the waveguide coupling module 202 satisfy the following relationship:

[0062] -3mrad ≤ (Δθ CF1 + Δθ CF2 ) ≤ 3mrad.

[0063] Wherein, Δθ CF1 represents the angular deviation between C light and F light corresponding to the windshield correction element 204 at the maximum field of view angle θ, and Δθ CF2 represents the angular deviation between C light and F light corresponding to the waveguide coupling module 202 at the maximum field of view angle θ. The wavelength of C light is 656nm, the wavelength of F light is 486nm, mrad is the measurement unit of milliradian, and the signs of Δθ CF1 and Δθ CF2 are opposite.

[0064] Generally speaking, the chromatic aberration of the windshield correction element 204 has a certain range. Therefore, in the solution of this application, the chromatic aberration value of the waveguide coupling module 202 can be designed to compensate for the median value of the chromatic aberration of the windshield correction element 204. Thus, when the display device of this application is applied to different vehicle models, it is not necessary to carry out customized development for each vehicle model, achieving the purpose of reducing the development cost.

[0065] It should be noted that this application does not limit the type and quantity of the optical elements in the waveguide coupling module 202. Exemplarily, the waveguide coupling module 202 can be composed of multiple lenses, or composed of at least one lens and at least one mirror, or composed of at least one lens and a grating, or composed of at least one lens, at least one mirror and a grating, etc.

[0066] In addition, in order not to increase the volume of the display device 200, in the solution of the present application, the windshield correction element 204 is a single non-composite element. For example, the windshield correction element 204 can be a transmissive diffraction grating, a free-form mirror, a Fresnel lens, etc., which are not limited in the present application.

[0067] It should also be noted that the present application does not limit the type of the optical waveguide 203. It can be a geometric optical waveguide, such as a zigzag optical waveguide and an array optical waveguide, etc., or a diffractive optical waveguide, such as a surface relief optical waveguide and a volume holographic optical waveguide (which can also be called a volume holographic optical waveguide), etc. It can be understood that the above examples are only the currently common optical waveguides, and other new types of optical waveguides generated by future technological developments can also be applicable to the solution of the present application. Optionally, the material of the optical waveguide 203 is inorganic optical glass, such as borosilicate glass BK7, etc. Or, the material of the optical waveguide 203 is a thermoplastic, such as polypropylene (PP) material, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) material, polycarbonate (PC) material, etc., which are not limited in the present application.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, the projection module 201 can adopt a liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) display, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, a liquid crystal display (LCD), a digital light procession (DLP) display, a micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) display, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, a micro-LED display, a display using the display technology of miniLED, etc., which are not limited in the present application.

[0069] As an example, Figure 3A possible structure of the projection module 201 provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown. Among them, the projection module 201 includes a light source 311, a modulation module 312, and a projection device 313. According to different display technologies adopted by the projection module 201, the modulation module 312 can be an LCoS modulator, or a DMD, or a transmissive spatial light modulator LCD, etc. Exemplarily, when the modulation module 312 is an LCoS modulator, the light source 311 can be a red, green, and blue three-color light-emitting diode (LED) light source, which together with the LCoS modulator constitutes an LCoS display. When the modulation module 312 is a DMD, it can be a DMD modulator controlled by MEMS, and is paired with a laser light source or an LED light source to form a DLP display. Or, when the modulation module 312 is an LCD modulator, the light source 311 can adopt a linear light source of red, green, and blue three-color cold cathode fluorescent tubes, and together with the LCD modulator constitutes an LCD display. Among them, the projection device 313 can be a projection lens.

[0070] Optionally, in order to improve the projection quality and / or reduce the volume of the projection module 201, in some embodiments, the projection module 201 further includes a refractive module 314, or the projection module 201 further includes a polarization conversion module 314. When the projection module 201 includes the refractive module 314, the refractive module 314 can be one or more lenses (for focusing the energy of the light beam to ensure the energy of the light beam, or for diffusing the light spot to increase the viewing angle of the projection), and / or one or more prisms (for folding the optical path to reduce the volume of the projection module), etc., which are not limited in the present application. When the projection module 201 includes the polarization conversion module 314, the polarization conversion module 314 is used to change the polarization state of the image light.

[0071] As an example, Figure 4 A possible structure of the projection module 201 with the modulation module 312 being a DMD provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown. As Figure 4 shown, the light source 311 includes a first monochromatic light array 411, a second monochromatic light array 412, a third monochromatic light array 413, dichroic filters 421 and 422, and a lens group 430. The refractive module 314 is a prism. Among them, the three monochromatic light arrays can respectively correspond to monochromatic lights of the three primary colors, including red light, blue light, and green light. In order to improve the light energy utilization rate, in some embodiments, collimating lenses can be arranged behind the monochromatic light arrays, respectively as Figure 4The collimating lenses 4111, 4112, and 4113 therein. Specifically, when the projection module 201 operates, the first monochromatic light array 411, the second monochromatic light array 412, and the third monochromatic light array 413 respectively emit corresponding monochromatic lights. The three monochromatic lights pass through the dichroic filters 421 and 422 and are incident on the lens group 430. After exiting from the lens group 430, they are incident on the DMD through a prism. The DMD modulates the input light beam based on the data information of the input image and outputs image light. The image light passes through the prism and is incident on the projection device 313, and then the projection device 313 emits the image light to the waveguide coupling module 202.

[0072] It can be understood that when the display device 200 is used as an HUD display device, the display device 200 further has a housing for protecting the above-mentioned projection module 201, waveguide coupling module 202, optical waveguide 203, and windshield correction element 204. The housing can be made of plastic, metal, or a combination of plastic and metal. In addition, the display device 200 further includes a dust cover. In one realizable case, the windshield correction element 204 is also used as the dust cover of the display device 200. At this time, the size of the windshield correction element 204 is equivalent to the size of the dust cover reserved on the housing. In another realizable way, the windshield correction element 204 can be fixed integrally with the dust cover. For example, the windshield correction element 204 is pasted to the dust cover through a transparent optical adhesive.

[0073] It can also be understood that the display device provided in the embodiments of the present application can be installed in the instrument panel (IP) of a vehicle.

This memory can save the instructions or data that the main processor 1201 has just used or recycled. If the main processor 1201 needs to use the instruction or data again, it can directly call it from the memory. This avoids repeated accesses, reduces the waiting time of the main processor 1201, and thus improves the efficiency of the system.

[0129] The display device can implement audio functions through the audio module 1204 and the application processor, etc. For example, music playback, calls, etc.

[0130] The audio module 1204 is used to convert digital audio information into an analog audio signal for output, and is also used to convert analog audio input into a digital audio signal. The audio module 1204 can also be used for encoding and decoding audio signals, such as for playing sound or recording. In some embodiments, the audio module 1204 can be disposed in the main processor 1201, or some functional modules of the audio module 1204 can be disposed in the main processor 1201.

When the display device is used as a head - up display, the video interface 1209 can receive speed signals and power signals input by peripheral devices, and can also receive externally input AR video signals. When the display device is used as a projector, the video interface 1209 can receive video signals input by an external computer or terminal device.

[0132] The video module 1205 can decode the video input by the video interface 1209, such as performing H.264 decoding. The video module can also encode the video captured by the display device, such as performing H.264 encoding on the video captured by an external camera. In addition, the main processor 1201 can also decode the video input by the video interface 1209 and then output the decoded image signal to the display circuit 1210.

[0133] The display circuit 1210 and the modulator 1212 are used to display corresponding images. In this embodiment, the video interface 1209 receives an externally input video source signal. After the video module 1205 performs decoding and / or digitization processing, it outputs one or more image signals to the display circuit 1210. The display circuit 1210 drives the modulator 1212 according to the input image signal to image the incident polarized light, and then outputs image light. In addition, the main processor 1201 can also output one or more image signals to the display circuit 1210.

A rechargeable battery may be included in the power supply module 1206, and the rechargeable battery can supply power to the main processor 1201 and the light source 1200. The light emitted by the light source 1200 can be transmitted to the modulator 1212 for imaging, thereby forming an image optical signal.

[0136] The wireless communication module 1207 can enable the display device to communicate wirelessly with the outside world. It can provide solutions for wireless communication such as Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) (such as Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) networks), Bluetooth (BT), Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Frequency Modulation (FM), Near Field Communication (NFC), Infrared (IR), etc. The wireless communication module 1207 can be one or more devices integrating at least one communication processing module.

[0137] In addition, the video data decoded by the video module 1205 can be received not only through the video interface 1209 but also wirelessly through the wireless communication module 1207 or read from an external memory. For example, the display device can receive video data from a terminal device or an in-vehicle entertainment system through the wireless local area network in the vehicle, and the display device can also read the audio and video data stored in the external memory.
