[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The structure diagram of the display device 1 provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown below. Figure 1 The display device 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail. Figure 1 As shown, the display device 1 of the present application includes a light source module 10 , a waveguide 20 , an angle filter 30 and a translation stage 40 .

[0031] In this embodiment, the light source module 10 is used to emit image light for forming a display image, and a waveguide 20 is provided in the light emitting direction of the light source module 10. The waveguide 20 is used to receive the image light projected to the waveguide 20 by the light source module 10, and after totally reflecting the coupled-in image light, couple out the totally reflected-transmitted image light at a target emission angle, and the target emission angle is within a set angle range.

[0032] Optionally, the image light emitted by the waveguide 20 in the display device 1 is used to project to the human eye to form a complete display image on the retina of the human eye. In addition, since there are some reflective elements in the display device 1, for example, the surface of the waveguide 20 can reflect ambient light, when the image light coupled out of the waveguide 20 enters the human eye, the ambient light reflected by the surface of the waveguide 20 will enter the human eye along with the image light coupled out of the waveguide 20, resulting in poor display effect of the image displayed at the human eye.

[0033] In this embodiment, an angle filter 30 is provided at the light outlet of the waveguide 20. When the image light coupled out of the waveguide 20 is projected onto the angle filter 30, the angle filter 30 is used to selectively transmit the light beam projected onto the angle filter 30. The angle filter 30 includes a light-transmitting area 31. The light-transmitting area 31 of the angle filter 30 is used to selectively transmit the image light whose incident angle is within a set angle range, and project the selectively transmitted image light to the human eye. Since the ambient light projected onto the angle filter 30 along with the image light is scattered light, the image light is filtered by the angle filter 30 when it is projected onto the angle filter 30 and cannot enter the human eye, thereby avoiding the interference of ambient light during the image display process.

[0034] Optionally, the waveguide 20 is a two-dimensional pupil expansion waveguide, and when the two-dimensional pupil expansion waveguide couples out the image light, any position of the two-dimensional pupil expansion waveguide couples out the image light at a target exit angle. The image light that can be transmitted at each position in the light-transmitting area 31 of the angle filter 30 has different incident angles. For example, the middle area of ​​the light-transmitting area 31 can at least transmit the image light vertically emitted from the area on the waveguide 20 where the middle area of ​​the light-transmitting area 31 is located, and the edge area of ​​the light-transmitting area 31 can at least transmit the image light emitted at the maximum angle within a set angle range from the area on the waveguide 20 where the edge area of ​​the light-transmitting area 31 is located, so that after the light-transmitting area 31 selectively transmits the image light whose incident angle is within the set angle range, the image light projected to the human eye can form a complete display image.

[0035] When the image light coupled out of the waveguide 20 in the display device 1 enters the human eye, the position of the human eye changes. The image light emitted from the target out-coupling position on the waveguide 20 has different transmission angles required to enter the human eye at different positions of the human eye. At this time, the incident angles of the image light received at the positions corresponding to the target out-coupling position in the light-transmitting area 31 are different.

[0036] In this embodiment, if the angle screening range of each position in the light-transmitting area 31 of the angle filter 30 is set to be large, so that when the position of the human eye moves, each position of the light-transmitting area 31 can form a complete display image at the human eye after selectively transmitting the image light, which will lead to poor suppression effect of the angle filter 30 on ambient light. Therefore, in order to ensure that the image light selectively transmitted by the angle filter 30 can form a complete display image on the retina of the human eye when projected to the human eye, and to ensure the suppression effect of the angle filter 30 on ambient light, a displacement stage 40 is further provided in this embodiment.

[0037] Optionally, the translation stage 40 is mechanically connected to the angle filter 30, and the translation stage 40 is used to drive the angle filter 30 to move, so that the image light transmitted by the moved angle filter 30 is incident on the human eye.

[0038] Specifically, after the translation stage 40 drives the angle filter 30 to move, the position of the light-transmitting area 31 of the angle filter 30 corresponds to the position of the human eye. At this time, the middle area of ​​the light-transmitting area 31 only needs to transmit the image light vertically emitted from the area on the waveguide 20 aligned with the middle area of ​​the light-transmitting area 31, and the edge area of ​​the light-transmitting area 31 only needs to transmit the image light emitted at the maximum angle within the set angle range from the area on the waveguide 20 aligned with the edge area of ​​the light-transmitting area 31. Based on this, when the angle screening range of each position of the light-transmitting area 31 is set to be small, while ensuring the suppression effect of the angle filter 30 on the ambient light, by correspondingly moving the angle filter 30 through the translation stage 40 when the position of the human eye moves, it can also be ensured that the image light selectively transmitted by the angle filter 30 can form a complete display image at the human eye.

[0039] In this embodiment, the display device 1 includes: a light source module 10, which is used to emit image light; a waveguide 20, which is arranged in the light emitting direction of the light source module 10, and is used to couple out the image light at a target emission angle, and the target emission angle is within a set angle range; an angle filter 30, which is arranged at the light outlet of the waveguide 20, and the angle filter 30 includes a light-transmitting area 31, and the light-transmitting area 31 is used to selectively transmit image light whose incident angle is within the set angle range; a displacement stage 40, which is mechanically connected to the angle filter 30, and the displacement stage 40 is used to drive the angle filter 30 to move, so that the image light transmitted by the angle filter 30 after movement is incident to the human eye. Based on this, by setting an angle filter 30 at the light outlet of the waveguide 20 to selectively transmit image light with an incident angle within a set angle range, the ambient light existing in the display device 1 can be suppressed, thereby improving the display effect of the display device 1; at the same time, when the position of the human eye moves, the angle filter 30 is moved accordingly by the displacement stage 40, so that when the angle screening range of the angle filter 30 is small, the image light selectively transmitted by the angle filter 30 can form a complete display image at the human eye, thereby improving the display device 1 The suppression effect of ambient light.

[0040] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 2 shows a top view of the light-transmitting area 31 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the light passing area 31 includes a plurality of through holes 311 distributed in an array, and the inclination angles of the plurality of through holes 311 relative to the normal direction of the waveguide surface are within a set angle range.

[0041] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of a light-transmitting area 31 provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The inclination angle N of the plurality of through holes 311 relative to the normal direction of the waveguide surface gradually increases from the middle to the edge of the angle filter 30, and each through hole 311 can at least transmit image light whose incident angle matches the inclination angle N of each through hole 311. Based on this, the middle area of ​​the light-transmitting area 31, which is provided with through holes 311 with a smaller inclination angle N, can at least transmit image light incident at a smaller incident angle, and the edge area of ​​the light-transmitting area 31, which is provided with through holes 311 with a larger inclination angle N, can at least transmit image light incident at the maximum angle within a set angle range. Among them, the through hole shapes of the plurality of through holes 311 are the same, and the through hole shape of each through hole 311 can be at least one of circular, square and rectangular, without limitation herein.

[0042] Alternatively, if Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 Shows this application Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the structure of the through hole provided. For example, the pupil center of the human eye is located at O0, and the inclination angle of the through hole A is The inclination angle of through hole B is At this time, the emission angles of the waveguide at points A and B are The light 1 and The light 2 can reach the pupil center O0 of the human eye through the corresponding through hole, and the angle range is and The light between points A and B needs to be emitted from the area between the waveguide to reach the pupil center O0 of the human eye. The light within the remaining angle range will be blocked by the side wall of the through hole and then absorbed.

[0043] Optionally, in order to ensure that the image light selectively transmitted by the angle filter can form a complete display image at the human eye and avoid the loss of the display image, it is necessary to ensure that the angle range is within and The light between can at least reach the human eye through through hole A or through hole B, and the incident position at the human eye is less than or equal to the pupil radius of the human eye from the pupil center O0. For example, at the entrance of through hole B, if the exit angle of the waveguide at point C is When the light 3 can pass through the through hole B and project to the plane where the human eye is located at the position of O1, the distance between O0 and O1 is less than or equal to the pupil radius of the human eye, so that the light 3 can be incident on the human eye. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that through hole A or through hole B can accommodate an angle range of and All light between them passes through, and through hole A and through hole B are less than or equal to the pupil radius of the human eye.

[0044] Based on this, in this embodiment, the angle screening range of each through hole is greater than or equal to for:

[0045]

[0046] Wherein, D is the relative distance between the centers of two adjacent through holes, D is less than or equal to the pupil radius of the human eye, and L is the relative distance between the human eye and the waveguide 20 .

[0047] Furthermore, each through hole has an inclination angle of N, and each through hole is used to transmit light having an incident angle of Image light within.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the middle area of ​​the light-transmitting area 31 in the angle filter is provided with a through hole 311 with a smaller tilt angle for transmitting image light incident at a smaller incident angle, and the edge area of ​​the light-transmitting area 31 is provided with a through hole 311 with a larger tilt angle for transmitting image light incident at a larger angle within a set angle range, and the angle screening range of the multiple through holes 311 in the light-transmitting area 31 is set to be smaller, thereby improving the angle filter's suppression effect on ambient light. In addition, when the position of the human eye moves, the angle filter is correspondingly moved by the displacement stage, so that when the angle screening range of the angle filter is smaller, the image light selectively transmitted by the angle filter can also form a complete display image at the human eye, thereby ensuring the display effect of the display device at the human eye.

[0049] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of a display device provided by another embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 5 The display device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail. Figure 5 As shown, the display device of the present application includes a light source module 10 , a waveguide 20 , an angle filter 30 and a translation stage 40 .

[0050] In this embodiment, the waveguide 20 includes a coupling-in region 21 and a coupling-out region 22. The coupling-in region 21 is arranged in the light emitting direction of the light source module 10, and the coupling-in region 21 is used to couple the image light projected onto the coupling-in region 21 into the waveguide 20; the coupling-out region 22 is used to couple out the image light transmitted by the waveguide 20 at a target emission angle. The waveguide 20 is a two-dimensional pupil expansion waveguide, and any position of the coupling-out region 22 of the two-dimensional pupil expansion waveguide is used to couple out the image light at a target emission angle.

[0051] Optionally, the angle filter 30 is arranged at the light output of the outcoupling area 22 of the waveguide 20, and the light-transmitting area 31 of the angle filter 30 is used to receive the first image light coupled out by the target area in the outcoupling area 22, the position of the target area is aligned with the position of the light-transmitting area 31, and the size of the light-transmitting area 31 is smaller than the size of the outcoupling area 22.

[0052] Furthermore, the angle filter 30 further includes a light absorption region 32, which is disposed around the light transmission region 31. The light absorption region 32 is used to absorb the second image light and the ambient light, wherein the second image light is the image light emitted from the region other than the target region in the outcoupling region 22.

[0053] Optionally, the light absorbing region 32 is made of a light absorbing material, and in the light-transmitting region 31 of the angle filter 30, a plurality of array-distributed through holes in the light-transmitting region 31 are used to selectively transmit image light whose incident angle is within a set angle range, and the region between two adjacent through holes in the light-transmitting region 31 is also made of a light absorbing material to absorb ambient light. When a partially reflective element exists in the display device, sunlight is projected to the coupling region 21 of the waveguide 20 in the opposite direction of the emission direction of the image light, causing the waveguide 20 to overheat and affecting the performance of the waveguide 20. By using light absorbing materials in the light-transmitting region 31 and the light absorbing region 32 on the angle filter 30, the incident sunlight can be absorbed, thereby ensuring the performance of the waveguide 20.

[0054] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 Shows this application Figure 5 A top view of a display device is provided. In the display device, the size of the angle filter 30 including the light-transmitting area 31 and the light-absorbing area 32 is greater than or equal to the size of the outcoupling area 22 of the waveguide 20, while the size of the light-transmitting area 31 in the angle filter 30 is smaller than the size of the outcoupling area 22 of the waveguide 20, and the light-transmitting area 31 only receives the first image light coupled out by the target area in the outcoupling area 22 of the waveguide 20. After the angle filter 30 is moved by the translation stage 40, since any position of the outcoupling area 22 of the waveguide 20 couples out the image light at the target emission angle, the light-transmitting area 31 only selectively transmits the first image light coupled out by the target area in the outcoupling area 22.

[0055] For example, Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 A schematic diagram of image light emitted from the outcoupling region 22 of a waveguide provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. In the outcoupling region 22 of the waveguide, the image light coupled out of region E, the image light coupled out of region F, and the image light coupled out of region G are all coupled out at a target emission angle, and the target emission angle is within a set angle range.

[0056] In this embodiment, after the angle filter is moved by the translation stage, the light-transmitting area of ​​the angle filter only receives the first image light coupled out of the target area in the outcoupling area, and the position of the target area is aligned with the position of the light-transmitting area. Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 A schematic diagram showing image light passing through a light-transmitting area provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0057] Exemplarily, after the angle filter is moved by the translation stage, if the light-transmitting area 31 of the angle filter is located at an area E of the out-coupling area 22, the light-transmitting area 31 of the angle filter only receives the image light coupled out of area E; if the light-transmitting area 31 of the angle filter is located at an area F of the out-coupling area 22, the light-transmitting area 31 of the angle filter only receives the image light coupled out of area F; if the light-transmitting area 31 of the angle filter is located at an area G of the out-coupling area 22, the light-transmitting area 31 of the angle filter only receives the image light coupled out of area G.

[0058] Based on this, when the position of the human eye moves, after the angle filter is driven to move by the translation stage, the position of the light-transmitting area 31 in the angle filter corresponds to the position of the human eye, and the light-transmitting area 31 selectively transmits only the first image light coupled out of the target area in the coupling-out area 22. At this time, the actual eye box area of ​​the display device is equivalent to the eye box area corresponding to the target area in the eye box area of ​​the waveguide, that is, the setting of the angle filter can selectively enable a small area in the eye box area of ​​the waveguide. Among them, the eye box area refers to a conical area between the near-eye display optical module and the eyeball, and is also the area where the display content is clearest.

[0059] In this embodiment, the light-transmitting area 31 is provided with a middle area of ​​through holes with a smaller inclination angle for transmitting the first image light incident at a smaller incident angle, and the light-transmitting area 31 is provided with an edge area of ​​through holes with a larger inclination angle for transmitting the first image light incident at the maximum angle within a set angle range, so that when the angle screening range of the multiple through holes in the light-transmitting area 31 is small, it can also be ensured that the image light selectively transmitted by the angle filter 30 can form a complete display image at the human eye. In addition, when the position of the human eye moves, the angle filter 30 is driven to move by the displacement stage 40, so that the actual eye box area of ​​the display device is equivalent to the eye box area corresponding to the target area in the eye box area of ​​the waveguide 20, so that the angle screening range of the angle filter 30 is no longer restricted by the actual larger eye box area of ​​the waveguide 20, and the angle filter 30 with a smaller angle screening range can be set, thereby ensuring the suppression effect of the angle filter 30 on ambient light.

[0060] See also Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of the structure of a display device provided by another embodiment of the present application is shown. Fig. 9 The display device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail. Fig. 9 As shown, the display device of the present application includes a light source module 10 , a waveguide 20 , an angle filter 30 and a translation stage 40 .

[0061] In this embodiment, the display device further includes an eye tracking module 50, which is electrically connected to the translation stage 40. The eye tracking module 50 is used to track the position of the human eye; the translation stage 40 is used to drive the angle filter 30 to move to a target position corresponding to the position of the human eye on the first plane, so that the image light transmitted by the angle filter 30 moved to the target position is incident on the human eye, and the first plane is parallel to the plane where the waveguide 20 is located.

[0062] Optionally, the display device further includes a reflector 60 , which is disposed in the light beam output direction of the angle filter 30 , and is used to reflect the image light and output it to human eyes.

[0063] In some embodiments, the display device is applied to a head-up display (HUD) system of a car. The head-up display system can project important information such as vehicle speed and navigation onto the front windshield in front of the driver, allowing the driver to see important driving information such as vehicle speed and navigation without lowering or turning his head, thereby improving the driver's driving safety.

[0064] Specifically, when the display device is applied to a head-up display system, the light source module 10, waveguide 20, angle filter 30, displacement stage 40 and eye tracking module 50 in the display device are all arranged on the dashboard of the car, and the reflector 60 in the display device is arranged on the front windshield of the car.

[0065] Optionally, the image light emitted by the light source module 10 is projected to the coupling-in region of the waveguide 20, and the coupling-out region of the waveguide 20 couples out the image light after total reflection transmission through the waveguide 20 at a target exit angle, and projects the coupled-out image light to the angle filter 30. According to the position of the driver's eyes detected in real time by the eye tracking module 50, the translation stage 40 drives the angle filter 30 to move in the first plane, so that the position of the light-transmitting region 31 in the angle filter 30 after the movement is at the target position corresponding to the position of the eyes.

[0066] Furthermore, the image light selectively transmitted through the out-coupling area 22 of the waveguide 20 after being filtered by the angle filter 30 is projected onto the reflector 60 of the front windshield, that is, the image light in the out-coupling area of ​​the waveguide 20 coupled out from the target area where the light-transmitting area 31 in the angle filter 30 is located is projected onto the reflector 60, and then enters the human eye after being reflected by the reflector 60, while the image light and ambient light emitted from areas other than the target area in the out-coupling area are absorbed by the light-absorbing area 32 in the angle filter 30, thereby improving the screening effect on ambient light.

[0067] In this embodiment, the eye tracking module 50 is provided to track the eye position, so that when the eye position of the displacement stage 40 changes, the displacement stage 40 can drive the angle filter 30 to move to the target position corresponding to the eye position based on the tracking result of the eye tracking module 50, so that when the angle screening range of the angle filter 30 is small, the image light passing through the angle filter 30 moved to the target position can form a complete display image at the eye after entering the eye, thereby ensuring the display integrity of the display device and improving the display device's suppression effect on ambient light.
