Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to an optical device, and more particularly to an optical projection device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Augmented Reality Head-Up Displays (AR HUDs) have a significant problem: the virtual image produced by the imaging components is relatively close, creating a large discrepancy between the distance of the image and the distance of objects in the driver's environment. When the driver switches focus, their eyes must frequently adjust between the close-up virtual image and distant objects, leading to eye strain. This frequent focus adjustment can cause discomfort, especially during long drives, and may even cause the driver's attention to drift away from external objects, affecting driving safety. Therefore, effectively improving the visual difference between the virtual image distance and the distance of objects in the environment has become a major challenge in the development of AR HUD technology. Summary of the Invention

[0068] Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating the current usage status of the projection equipment. Please refer to it. Figure 1 The projection device 91 is positioned in front of the vehicle's windshield, and its projected light beam is reflected by the windshield to the driver. The reflected light beam from the windshield forms a virtual image 92 behind the mirror, with the image distance equivalent to the distance between the projection device 91 and the windshield. When the driver observes the virtual image 92, they must be within a specific viewing angle range to receive the reflected light beam from the windshield.

[0069] Figure 2 These are schematic diagrams of projection devices according to some embodiments of this application; Figure 3A These are schematic diagrams of light guide plates according to some embodiments of this application, please refer to them as well. Figure 2 and Figure 3AThe projection device 10 includes an imaging module 1 and a light guide plate 2, with the light incident surface 21 of the light guide plate 2 coupled to the imaging module 1. In this embodiment, the imaging module 1 generates a parallel beam Lp, which enters the light guide plate 2 through the light incident surface 21 and partially penetrates each transflection / reflection port 23 within the light guide plate 2, and is partially reflected. Finally, all the reflected parallel beams Lp are projected onto the observer. The projection device 10 can be placed in front of partially translucent glass, such as, but not limited to, a vehicle's windshield. In this embodiment, as... Figure 2 As shown, the projection device 10 includes an imaging module 1, a light guide plate 2, and a reflective plate 3. The reflective plate 3 is disposed above the light-emitting surface 22 of the light guide plate 2, and the reflective plate 3 forms a third oblique angle θ3 with the light-emitting surface 22 of the light guide plate 2. In this way, the parallel light beam Lp from the light-emitting surface 22 of the light guide plate 2 is partially reflected to the observer by the reflective plate 3. Furthermore, the observer can also receive an external light beam Le through the reflective plate 3, thus simultaneously observing the image formed by the parallel light beam Lp and the external light beam Le.

[0070] like Figure 3A As shown, the light guide plate 2 includes an incident surface 21, an exiting surface 22, and multiple transflective interfaces 23. In this embodiment, the incident surface 21 is disposed on the side of the light guide plate 2, and the incident surface 21 and the exiting surface 22 form a first oblique angle θ1. Therefore, when a parallel beam Lp passes orthogonally through the incident surface 21, the incident angle and reflection angle of the parallel beam Lp at the exiting surface 22 are also the first oblique angle θ1. The larger the first oblique angle θ1, the more transflective interfaces 23 the parallel beam Lp can pass through, thus widening the observable range of the image; the smaller the first oblique angle θ1, the higher the proportion of light reflected by each transflective interface 23 from the parallel beam Lp, thus increasing the visibility of the image. Multiple transflective interfaces 23 are disposed within the light guide plate 2 and arranged sequentially along the optical axis X1, wherein the direction of the optical axis X1 corresponds to the projection component of the traveling direction of the parallel beam Lp onto the exiting surface 22. In this embodiment, the light guide plate 2 includes five transflective interfaces 23 arranged sequentially along the optical axis X1. Figure 3A They are arranged in order from left to right.

[0071] Each reflective interface 23 forms a second oblique angle θ2 with the light-emitting surface 22. When the parallel beam Lp passes through the reflective interface 23, partial reflection and partial transmission occur. The larger the second oblique angle θ2, the more reflective interfaces 23 the parallel beam Lp can pass through, thus widening the observable range of the image; the smaller the second oblique angle θ2, the higher the proportion of light reflected by each reflective interface 23 from the parallel beam Lp, thus increasing the visibility of the image. In this embodiment, the incident angle of the parallel beam Lp at the first reflective interface 23 is equivalent to the first oblique angle θ1 minus the second oblique angle θ2. In some embodiments, the first oblique angle θ1 and the second oblique angle θ2 are not equal to avoid the parallel beam Lp passing orthogonally through one or more reflective interfaces 23 without reflection. In some embodiments, twice the sum of the second oblique angle θ2 and the third oblique angle θ3 minus the first oblique angle θ1 equals 90 degrees (i.e., 2*(θ2+θ3)-θ1=90°), so that the reflected beam of the reflective plate 3 is parallel to the light guide plate 2, allowing the observer to observe the projected image to the maximum extent from a level viewing angle.

[0072] In some embodiments, the light guide plate 2 is composed of multiple light guiding media 24, and multiple transflective interfaces 23 are the coated surfaces 25 between the light guiding media 24. In this embodiment, the light guide plate 2 includes six groups of light guiding media 24 and five coated surfaces 25 between the light guiding media 24. The material of the light guiding media 24 may be, but is not limited to, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), polystyrene (PS), quartz glass (SiO2), multimode or single-mode optical fiber, fluoride glass, polymer optical fiber (POF), sapphire crystal (Al2O3), or lithium niobate (LiNbO3). In some embodiments, the first oblique angle θ1 is less than 90 degrees and greater than the critical angle θc for total internal reflection of the parallel beam Lp at the light guide plate 2. The critical angle θc for total internal reflection of the parallel beam Lp needs to take into account the refractive index n1 of the light guide medium 24 and the refractive index n2 of the external medium (assuming it is air, then the refractive index n2 is 1), which can be expressed as the following formula:

[0073]

[0074] Therefore, when the first oblique angle θ1 is greater than the critical angle for total internal reflection of the parallel beam Lp at the light guide plate 2, the parallel beam Lp can travel along the optical axis X1 within the light guide plate 2 to the maximum extent without undergoing refraction during reflection at the light emitting surface 22, thus avoiding energy loss. This allows the beam to pass through the most transflection / reflection interfaces 23, resulting in the widest possible image viewing range. In some embodiments, the surface of the light emitting surface 22 can also be coated to form a coated surface 25 with a refractive index n2. In this embodiment, the critical angle for total internal reflection of the parallel beam Lp takes into account both the refractive index of the light guide medium 24 and the coating of the light emitting surface 22.

[0075] In some embodiments, it is assumed that the light guide plate 2 includes N transflection / reflection interfaces 23, and the reflectivity of each transflection / reflection interface 23 can be expressed by the following formula:

[0076]

[0077] Where R is the reflectivity, and i is the order in which the light-transmitting and reflective interfaces 23 are closest to the light-incident surface 21 of the light guide plate 2. For example, such as Figure 3A As shown, the light guide plate 2 in this embodiment includes five reflective interfaces 23. The rightmost reflective interface 23 is numbered 1 (i.e., i=1), the next rightmost reflective interface 23 is numbered 2 (i.e., i=2), and the leftmost reflective interface 23 is numbered 5 (i.e., i=5). Therefore, the reflectivity of each reflective interface 23 can be expressed as follows:

[0078] R1 = 0.2

[0079]

[0080]

[0081]

[0082]

[0083] Therefore, when light passes through each reflective interface 23, the reflected light energy is the same, ensuring that the visibility of the image seen by the observer is the same at different viewing angles. In some embodiments, when the reflective interface 23 is a coated surface 25 between light guiding media 24, the refractive index of each coated material gradually increases in sequence; or, the number of interference coating layers on each coated surface 25 gradually increases in sequence.

[0084] In some embodiments, the spacing d between the plurality of transflective interfaces 23 along the optical axis X1 is equal. More specifically, as... Figure 3AAs shown, the five reflective interfaces 23 of the light guide plate 2 are all spaced by a distance d. This makes the distance between the reflected light generated by the parallel beam Lp when it passes through these reflective interfaces 23 the same, thus producing an image that is evenly distributed in space. This prevents the image from suddenly disappearing or becoming blurry when the observer adjusts the viewing angle.

[0085] Figure 3B This is a schematic diagram of a light guide plate according to other embodiments of this application. Please refer to... Figure 3B In this embodiment, the light guide plate 2 includes a cavity 26 and a reflective surface 27, and the light-emitting surface 22 of the light guide plate 2 is a transmissive-reflective surface 28. The cavity 26 is located between the transmissive-reflective surface 28 and the reflective surface 27, and the cavity 26 contains a plurality of transmissive-reflective mirrors 231. The cavity 26 can be a vacuum or filled with other media, such as air. The material of the reflective surface 27 can be, but is not limited to, aluminum, silver, gold, silicon dioxide (SiO2), titanium dioxide (TiO2), magnesium fluoride (MgF2), aluminum oxide, silicon nitride, polycarbonate, or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Similar to... Figure 3A In this embodiment, the light-incident surface 21 of the light guide plate 2 is disposed on the side of the light guide plate 2, and the light-incident surface 21 forms a first oblique angle θ1 with the transmissive surface 28. Therefore, when a parallel beam Lp passes orthogonally through the light-incident surface 21, the incident angle and reflection angle of the parallel beam Lp at the transmissive surface 28 are also the first oblique angle θ1. Transmissive mirrors 231 are arranged sequentially along an optical axis X1 parallel to the transmissive surface 28, and each transmissive mirror 231 forms a second oblique angle θ2 with the transmissive surface 28. In some embodiments, the spacing d between the plurality of transmissive mirrors 231 along the optical axis X1 is equal.

[0086] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the imaging module according to the first embodiment of this application. Please refer to... Figure 4In this embodiment, the imaging module 1 includes a display screen 11 and a lens group 12. The display screen 11 is disposed at one end of the lens group 12, and the light guide plate 2 is disposed at the other end of the lens group 12. Here, the display screen 11 is used to generate a diverging light beam Ld. The display screen 11 can be, but is not limited to, a liquid crystal display (TFT LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), a micro LED, or an LED. Although the display screen 11 acts as a planar light source under ideal conditions, in reality, the display screen 11 generates light rays in other directions in addition to those orthogonal to the display screen 11, thus forming a diverging light beam Ld. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the size of the display screen 11 does not match the size of the light incident surface 21 of the light guide plate 2, thus requiring adjustment of the image size generated by the display screen 11.

[0087] Lens group 12 is used to convert the diverging light beam Ld into a parallel light beam Lp, so that the focal length of the virtual image presented to the observer by the projection device 10 is at infinity, thereby reducing the visual difference between the virtual image distance and objects in the external environment. On the other hand, lens group 12 can also be used to reduce the image generated by the display screen 11 to produce a high-resolution image that can be projected through the light guide plate 2. The lens material of lens group 12 can be quartz or plastic. In this embodiment, as... Figure 4 As shown, the lens group 12, from left to right, includes a first biconvex lens 121, a second biconvex lens 122, a first biconcave lens 123, a second biconcave lens 124, a concave-convex lens 125, and a third biconvex lens 126. In this embodiment, the parameters of the lens group 12 are presented in Table 1 (attached at the end of the document). Specifically, the first biconvex lens 121 includes a light-emitting surface S1 and a light-incident surface S2; the second biconvex lens 122 includes a light-emitting surface S3 and a light-incident surface S4; the first biconcave lens 123 includes a light-emitting surface S5 and a light-incident surface S6; the second biconcave lens 124 includes a light-emitting surface S7 and a light-incident surface S8; the concave-convex lens 125 includes a light-emitting surface S9 and a light-incident surface S10; and the third biconvex lens 126 includes a light-emitting surface S11 and a light-incident surface S12. In this embodiment, the concave-convex lens 125 and the third biconvex lens 126 converge the divergent beam Ld generated by the display screen 11 to reduce the cross-sectional area of ​​the beam. The first biconcave lens 123 and the second biconcave lens 124 work together with the former two to eliminate image chromatic aberration. The first biconvex lens 121 and the second biconvex lens 122 gradually adjust the divergent beam Ld into a parallel beam Lp.

[0088] In some embodiments, the imaging module 1 includes a display screen 11, a lens group 12, and a prism 13, with the prism 13 disposed between the display screen 11 and the lens group 12. The display screen 11 is coupled to the light-incident surface 131 of the prism 13, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the display screen 11 is coupled to the light-incident surface 131 of the prism 13 via a protective plate 15. The prism 13 increases the distance between the display screen 11 and the lens group 12, allowing the image generated by the display screen 11 to be completely projected onto the surface S12 of the biconvex lens and converged, and preventing light from experiencing reflection loss or severe dispersion due to excessive refractive index differences when passing through the surface S12. The protective plate 15 prevents friction between the display screen 11 and the prism 13 due to vibration. In some embodiments, the protective plate 15 and the display screen 11, and / or the protective plate 15 and the prism 13, can be bonded together using optical adhesive. In this embodiment, the parameters of the lens group 12 are presented in Table 2 (attached at the end of the document).

[0089] Figure 5A This is a modulation conversion function diagram of an imaging module according to some embodiments of this application. Please refer to... Figure 5A . Figure 5A The horizontal axis represents the spatial frequency of the projected image from imaging module 1; the vertical axis represents the optical conversion function coefficients. Figure 5A Solid lines represent the modulation transfer function (MTF) of light rays at different object heights (0.00mm, 0.80mm, 2.40mm, 4.00mm, 5.60mm, 7.20mm, 7.62mm) on the meridional focal plane of the image displayed on screen 11; dashed lines represent the MTF of light rays at different object heights (0.00mm, 0.80mm, 2.40mm, 4.00mm, 5.60mm, 7.20mm, 7.62mm) on the sagittal focal plane. The MTF represents the contrast retention capability of imaging module 1 at different spatial frequencies; the MTF values ​​of each curve decrease as the spatial frequency increases. Figure 5A This demonstrates that for images with an object height of 5.6 mm or more at the meridional focal plane, the MTF of imaging module 1 rapidly drops below 0.7 within a spatial frequency range of 8.0 cycles / mm, while the MTF performance of other curves decreases slowly as the spatial frequency increases.

Figure 5C The horizontal axis represents the percentage of distortion; the vertical axis represents the field of view at the imaging focal point along the Y-axis. In this embodiment, the maximum field of view is 18 degrees, the meridional field curvature and sagittal field curvature are both less than 0.15 mm, and the maximum distortion is within -1.2%.

[0091] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the imaging module according to the second embodiment of this application. Please refer to... Figure 6 In some embodiments, the imaging module 1 includes multiple displays 11, a beam combining assembly 14, and a lens group 12. Each display 11 is used to generate a diverging monochromatic light beam. The beam combining assembly 14 is disposed between the multiple displays 11 and the lens group 12, and each display 11 is coupled to a different light-incident surface of the beam combining assembly 14. In this embodiment, the imaging module 1 includes three displays 11: a red light display 11 (generating a red diverging light beam Ld1), a green light display 11 (generating a green diverging light beam Ld2), and a blue light display 11 (generating a blue diverging light beam Ld3). In this embodiment, the beam combining assembly 14 is a beam combining prism 141, which can be composed of multiple sub-prisms, each sub-prism having a coated surface 142. This coated surface 142 has a filtering effect, allowing light of a specific wavelength to pass through while reflecting other wavelengths of light. For example, Figure 6 The coated surface 142 of the beam combining prism 141 allows the green diverging beam Ld2 to pass directly through, while reflecting the red diverging beam Ld1 and the blue diverging beam Ld3. The beam combining prism 141 mixes all monochromatic diverging beams Ld to produce a mixed-color diverging beam Ld, and the lens group 12 then converts the mixed-color diverging beam Ld into a parallel beam Lp. In this embodiment, the imaging module 1 displays different colors of light through multiple displays 11, allowing for more detailed representation of each color. In some embodiments, the refractive index of the beam combining prism 141 can be matched to the lens of the lens group 12 or the protective plate 15 of the display screen 11. In some embodiments, the display screen 11 and the beam combining prism 141, and / or the protective plate 15 and the beam combining prism 141, can be bonded together using optical adhesive.

[0092] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of an imaging module according to a third embodiment of this application. Please refer to... Figure 7In this embodiment, the imaging module 1 includes three displays 11, and the light combining assembly 14 is composed of multiple filters 143. Similar to the coated surface 142 of the light combining prism 141 in the second embodiment, the filters 143 in this embodiment have a filtering effect, allowing light of a specific wavelength to pass through while reflecting other wavelengths. Compared to the light combining prism 141, the light combining assembly 14 using filters 143 allows for lower component and manufacturing costs.
