Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of near-eye display optics technology, and more specifically, to a large field of view, large aperture, negative focal length visual optical system and near-eye display device. Background Technology

[0002] Near-eye display devices use optical imaging technologies to guide the video image light emitted by a miniature image display (such as a transmissive or reflective liquid crystal display, an organic electroluminescent device, or a DMD device) to the user's pupil, thereby creating a virtual, magnified image within the user's near-eye range and providing the user with intuitive and visual image, video, and text information.

[0003] With the continuous advancement of optical technology, the market demand for near-eye display devices is also changing rapidly. Amidst the emergence of various new optical imaging structures, a negative focal length relay optical structure has stood out. This structure is a visual optical system composed of multiple lenses, similar to microscope and telescope optics. Like these, it focuses light emitted from an object into a real image and then creates a virtual image to reach the observation side. However, unlike microscopes and telescopes, this structure guides video image light emitted from a miniature image display (e.g., transmissive or reflective liquid crystal displays, organic light-emitting diodes, DMD devices) to the user's pupil, thereby realizing a virtual, magnified image within the user's near-eye range, providing intuitive and visual images, videos, and text information. This type of optical structure offers greater design flexibility and can significantly improve the imaging quality of the entire optical system. However, this also results in a much heavier overall optical system compared to existing display systems on the market.

[0004] Currently, many papers have proposed their own different optical system designs based on this optical structure.

[0005] For example, Patent Document 1 (Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 103988111 B) and Patent Document 2 (Chinese Patent Publication No. CN107683432 B) respectively adopted an optical system composed of multiple lenses, which achieved good manufacturability. However, their optical systems adopted positive power optical systems and various coordination relationships between various lens groups, which failed to realize the conversion between real image optics and virtual image optical paths. Therefore, the degree of freedom of the entire optical system was greatly reduced, and the ideal optical effect could not be achieved. The stray light generated was also unacceptable, which reduced the contrast of the optical system and the user experience.

[0006] Patent document 3 (Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 103217782 A) and patent document 4 (Chinese Patent Publication No. CN103605205 ​​A) disclose a visual optical system composed of multiple lenses, which achieves performance indicators such as large field of view, high image quality, and low distortion. However, this visual optical system largely relies on only a few sets of positive optical power lens groups, and the optical power of the entire optical system is also positive, resulting in the entire optical light being focused in a single direction. There are not enough optical lenses and working distances to correct the effect of the entire optical system.

[0007] Patent document 5 (Chinese Patent Publication No. CN113325566B) discloses a visual optical system composed of multiple lenses. It is also a negative focal length visual optical system composed of positive optical power, and it also achieves the effect of a large field of view. However, this invention requires a set of reflective optical surfaces to achieve its optical effect, which greatly hinders the design of the optical system and increases the size of the optical system.

[0008] Therefore, there is a need to provide an optical system that is more effective and more suitable for mass production, addressing the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

The best imaging effect can be observed when the human eye's pupil is at the aperture stop position. The micro-image display (IMG) is the image plane of the visual optical system.

[0047] The optical path structure data of the visual optical system in this embodiment are shown in Table 1a, and the aspherical coefficients are shown in Table 1b. Table 1a

[0048] Table 1b

[0049] From the human eye observation side to the miniature image display side (from left to right), the lenses are arranged in sequence as follows: human eye (EYE), first lens L1, second lens L2, third lens L3, and fourth lens L4.

[0054] Table 2b

[0055] From the human eye observation side to the miniature image display side (from left to right), the lenses are arranged in sequence as follows: human eye (EYE), first lens L1, second lens L2, third lens L3, and fourth lens L4.
