Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of head-up displays, and particularly relates to a dual optical path structure with a continuous depth of field for a far image and a head-up display device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the prior art, such as the patent application CN218630367U, the light emitted by the image light source control part is divided into two paths by the plane mirror, one is into the first segment of the near projection light barrel, then enters the second segment of the near projection light barrel through the plane mirror, and finally emits light at the near projection diffusion board thereof; the other is into the first segment of the far projection light barrel, then enters the second segment of the near projection light barrel through the plane mirror, and finally emits light at the far projection diffusion board thereof.
[0003] Then, the generated near projection light source and the far projection light source are reflected by the first-order curved mirror, the second-order curved mirror and the windshield glass respectively, and two separated far projection and near projection are generated, so as to be received by the human eye.
[0004] The disadvantage of this technology is that the angle between the far projection image and the road surface is close to vertical, which results in a weak fusion effect between the actual far projection part image and the ground, and the navigation elements cannot well play the driving assistance effect. At the same time, the projection distance difference between the far projection and the near projection is large, and the human eye is prone to fatigue due to the distance jump in the mutual switching process of the two images, and the applicability is narrow, and it is only suitable for PGU image light sources of DLP / LCOS projection type.
[0005] In addition to the technical defects in the above patent application file, the traditional technical method is to change the optical path by optical design in the image source control part, so that the emitted light is a plurality of light beams with different distances and positions, thereby realizing multiple projections with different distances. This way of changing the optical path by optical design in the image source control part is relatively complex to implement and is not easy to adjust. Practical new type content
[0006] In view of the defects of the prior art, the present application provides a dual optical path structure with a continuous depth of field for a far image and a head-up display device, which realizes the mode of "one vertical and one inclined" image surface combination by the dual optical path structure with an angle between the far image surface and the road surface less than 60°, thereby increasing the fusion of the far projection and the ground, reducing the dizziness caused by the obvious projection distance difference when the field of view is switched back and forth between the far projection and the near projection, and improving the driving experience of the driver.
[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application adopts the following technical scheme:
[0008] In a first aspect, the application provides a dual optical path structure with a continuous depth of field, which includes a projection device Z1. The light emitted by the projection device Z1 is reflected by the windshield WS and forms a close-range projection and a long-range projection at the virtual image end. The projection device Z1 can be a single light source or a dual light source. When the projection device Z1 is a single light source, the emitted light includes light rays L1 and L2. The angle between the light rays L1 and L2 is greater than 30°. When the projection device Z1 is a dual light source, the angle between the first light source and the second light source is greater than 25°.
[0009] The head-up display device projects light at different distances to form a close-range and long-range projection at the virtual image end, ensuring that objects in the field of view remain clear at different distances, thereby achieving a continuous depth of field effect. This is of great significance for application scenarios that require clear visual presentation in complex or multi-level environments, such as virtual reality, augmented reality, advanced driver assistance systems, etc.
[0010] By controlling the angle between the light rays L1 and L2, such as greater than 30° for a single light source and greater than 25° for a dual light source, a more natural and smooth visual transition can be effectively achieved, reducing the visual discontinuity or abruptness in traditional projection methods and improving visual comfort. The use of a single light source or dual light source configuration makes the technology more flexible. The single light source configuration simplifies the design and is suitable for cost-sensitive scenarios, while the dual light source configuration provides higher light intensity and precise light path control, making it suitable for scenarios with higher display requirements. Under different projection effects, the projection distance of different focal lengths can be more accurately controlled, improving the adaptability and practicality of the system. Optimizing the light source configuration of the projection device Z1, especially in dual light source mode, can effectively reduce light interference between different light sources, improve the accuracy of light projection, and optimize image quality, making it particularly suitable for applications that require fine display in complex environments.

A portion of the light emitted by the single light source is reflected by the plane mirror M71 to form light ray L2, and the other portion is light ray L1. The light rays L1 and L2 combine to form an image light source combination module.
[0012] The application uses the plane mirror M71 to provide a technical solution that can achieve clear images at different focal lengths through the combination of a single light source and a plane mirror M71. This design is relatively simple, and through the optimization of the mirror, the utilization efficiency of the light source can be effectively improved to achieve a continuous depth of field effect.

[0014] The present application can realize accurate distribution and guidance of light based on a single light source through the addition of the wedge-shaped prism F1, effectively improving the definition of the image, the utilization rate of the light source, and the overall efficiency of the system. In addition, the design of the wedge-shaped prism F1 can also realize a compact structure, flexible adjustment and simplified optical design, thereby having better adaptability in multiple application scenarios.
[0015] Preferably, in the double optical path structure described in the present application, when the projection device Z1 is a single light source, it further comprises a prism F2 placed at any position of the light source light emitting surface, wherein a part of the light emitted by the single light source is refracted after passing through the first mirror surface of the prism F2, and then transmits through the second mirror surface to refract out, forming the light L2; another part of the light is the light L1; the light L1 and the light L2 combine to form an image light source combination module.
[0016] The present application can realize efficient light distribution and focal length control based on a single light source through the use of the prism F2, while optimizing the continuous depth of field effect and image quality. This structure has the advantages of simplified design, improved optical efficiency, reduced distortion, and reduced cost, and is suitable for various application scenarios that require efficient optical design and high-quality projection.
[0017] Preferably, in the double optical path structure described in the present application, when the projection device Z1 is a single light source, it further comprises a wedge-shaped prism F3 placed at any position of the light source light emitting surface, wherein a part of the light emitted by the single light source is refracted to the second mirror surface through the first mirror surface of the wedge-shaped prism F3, and then refracted to the third mirror surface through the second mirror surface, and then refracted out through the second mirror surface to form the light L2; another part of the light is the light L1; the light L1 and the light L2 combine to form an image light source combination module.
[0018] The present application is based on the double optical path structure design of the wedge-shaped prism F3, which provides a continuous depth of field effect and realizes efficient use of the light source through a single light source and accurate refractive path distribution, reduces the complexity of the system, avoids optical distortion, and has the advantages of high light efficiency, low cost, and high reliability, and is suitable for projection applications with high requirements for image quality and system compactness.
[0019] Preferably, the double light path structure described in the application further comprises a first curved mirror M1 and a second curved mirror M2; wherein,
[0020] The light rays L1 and L2 of the image light source combination module are reflected by the first curved mirror M1 and the second curved mirror M2, and after being reflected by the windshield WS, near distance projection and far distance projection are formed at the virtual image end.
[0021] The double light path structure realizes the continuous depth of field effect through the reflection of the first and second curved mirrors and the additional reflection function of the windshield, and realizes the "one vertical and one inclined" image plane combination mode through the double light path architecture with an angle between the far image plane and the road surface less than 60°, thereby reducing the dizziness caused by the obvious projection distance difference when switching the field of view between the near and far projections, and improving the driving experience of the driver.
[0022] Preferably, the near distance projection and the far distance projection do not have overlapping areas in spatial angle.
[0023] Preferably, the near distance projection is at a spatial distance of 4.5m from the human eye.
[0024] Preferably, the far distance projection is at a spatial distance of 4.6-7.8m from the human eye.
[0025] The double light path structure with continuous depth of field of the far image plane realizes clear and accurate projection effect by accurately setting the spatial distance of the near distance and far distance projection and ensuring that the projection areas of the two do not overlap. Not only the image quality is optimized, but also the user's viewing experience is improved. It is especially suitable for occasions that require precise control of projection distance and focal length, such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), vehicle display, etc.
