Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.

[0023] Furthermore, in addition to indicating direction or positional relationship, some of the aforementioned terms may also have other meanings. For example, the term "above" may also be used in some cases to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0025] Specifically, the following is the content provided by the first aspect of this utility model:

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In this embodiment, the optical display system includes a receiver 1, a first lens 2, a second lens 3, and a display 4. The first lens 2 and the second lens 3 are sequentially arranged between the receiver 1 and the display 4 along the direction from the receiver 1 to the display 4. The display 4 can be a Micro OLED screen with a diagonal length of 16mm, a resolution of 1920*1080, and a pixel size of 7.3um. It is understood that the aforementioned parameters of the display 4 are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit this embodiment; the appropriate display 4 can be selected according to the actual design.

[0027] Specifically, a protective film 5 is provided on the side of the first lens 2 near the receiver 1, and a reflective polarizing film 6 is provided between the first lens 2 and the protective film 5; a first phase delay film 7 is provided on the side of the second lens 3 near the receiver 1; a semi-transparent and semi-reflective film 8 is provided on the side of the second lens 3 away from the receiver 1; a second phase delay film 9 is provided on the side of the display 4 near the second lens 3, and a linear polarizer 10 is provided between the second lens 3 and the second phase delay film 9.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 After the display 4 emits light carrying imaging information, the light passes through the linear polarizer 10, where it is converted from unpolarized light to linearly polarized light. Then, it passes through the second phase retarder 9, where it is converted into right-hand circularly polarized light. The right-hand circularly polarized light then passes through the semi-reflective film 8, where its polarization state remains unchanged, but due to the effect of the film, it loses 50% of its light energy. The light then passes through the second lens 3, and then through the first phase retarder 7, where it is converted into P-polarized light. This P-polarized light is then projected onto the first lens 2. After passing through the first lens 2, the reflective polarizing film 6 reflects the P-polarized light again. The P-polarized light then passes through the first lens 2 again, and the first phase retarder 7 converts it back into right-hand polarized light. The right-hand polarized light then passes through the second lens 3 again, and the semi-reflective film 8 reflects it again, converting it into left-hand polarized light. After the left-handed polarized light passes through the second lens 3, the first phase delay film 7 converts the left-handed polarized light into S-polarized light. The S-polarized light passes through the first lens 2, the reflective polarizing film 6 and the protective film 5 in sequence, and is then projected into the receiving end 1 to form a clear image.

[0029] It is understandable that by setting the first lens 2 and the second lens 3, the number of optical lenses in the optical system can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the size and weight of the optical display system. This can effectively correct system aberrations, reduce distortion, improve image quality, and thus reduce the weight and size of VR devices, improving the user experience of VR devices.

[0030] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the effective focal lengths of the first lens 2, the second lens 3, and the optical display system are F1, F2, and F, respectively, where F1 is a positive value and F2 is a negative value, and satisfy: 2.13≤F1 / F≤2.80, -23.49≤F2 / F≤-16.70.

[0031] Furthermore, the refractive indices of the first lens 2 and the second lens 3 at line D are N1 and N2, respectively, and satisfy: 1.514≤N1≤1.525, 1.640≤N2≤1.690. The Abbe numbers of the first lens 2 and the second lens 3 at line D are V1 and V2, respectively, and satisfy: 52.5≤V1≤63.0, 20.4≤V2≤32.6.

[0032] The radius of curvature of the side of the first lens 2 away from the receiver 1 is R1; the radius of curvature of the side of the second lens 3 near the receiver 1 is R2, and the radius of curvature of the side away from the receiver 1 is R3, and they satisfy: -25.0mm≤R1≤-20.35mm, -37.46mm≤R2≤-28.0mm, -79.0mm≤R3≤-65.60mm.

[0033] It is understandable that by setting the parameters of the first lens 2 and the second lens 3, the number of lenses in the optical system can be effectively reduced. While ensuring that the size and weight of the optical display system are relatively small, the imaging quality of the optical display system can be effectively ensured, system aberrations can be effectively corrected, and distortion can be reduced.

[0034] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the distance between the side of the first lens 2 away from the receiving end 1 and the side of the second lens 3 close to the receiving end 1 is D2, and D2 is adjustable, satisfying: 0.227mm≤D2≤0.886mm.

[0035] It is understandable that by dynamically adjusting the distance D2 between the side of the first lens 2 away from the receiver 1 and the side of the second lens 3 close to the receiver 1, the optical display system can achieve the function of adjusting the diopter between -2D and +2D, thereby better meeting the wearing needs of users with different myopia or hyperopia and improving the user experience.

[0036] Furthermore, the distance between the side of the first lens 2 furthest from the receiver 1 and the display 4 is D, the distance between the side of the first lens 2 closest to the receiver 1 and the receiver 1 is D1, and the distance between the side of the second lens 3 closest to the display 4 and the display 4 is D3, satisfying: 12≤D1 / D≤14, 0.015≤D2 / D≤0.059, 0.535≤D3 / D≤0.536. The thickness of the first lens 2 is D4, and the thickness of the second lens 3 is D5, satisfying: 0.159≤D4 / D≤0.380, 0.139≤D5 / D≤0.20.

[0037] It is understandable that by setting the thickness of the first lens 2, the thickness of the second lens 3, and the distance between each component in the optical display system, the size between each component in the optical display system can be effectively controlled, thereby effectively controlling the overall size of the optical display system, effectively reducing the volume and weight of the optical display system, and thus reducing the volume and weight of the VR device, improving the user's wearing experience.

[0038] Furthermore, in one embodiment, both the first lens 2 and the second lens 3 are plastic resin lenses. It is understood that using plastic resin lenses for both the first lens 2 and the second lens 3 can further reduce the weight of the optical display system, thereby reducing the burden on the user and improving the user experience.

[0039] For further details, please refer to... Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a dot diagram of optical display systems corresponding to 0D, -1D, -2D, 1D, and 2D. Figure 3 The information indicates that when the refractive power is 0D, the root mean square radii of the six fields of view of the optical display system are 10.950µm, 7.905µm, 6.842µm, 8.161µm, and 9.916µm, respectively. This means that the root mean square radii of all field dot plots are below 11µm. After adjusting the refractive power of the optical display system, the root mean square radii of different fields of view change, but they remain within two pixel sizes, which is acceptable to the human eye.

[0040] For further details, please refer to... Figure 4 , Figure 4 The graphs show the field curvature distortion curves of the optical display systems corresponding to 0D, -1D, -2D, 1D, and 2D. Figure 4 According to the information provided, the field curvature of the optical display system is less than 0.2 mm under different refractive powers, and the distortion value in the entire field of view does not exceed 8.6%, which meets the design requirements for low distortion.

[0041] For further details, please refer to... Figure 5 , Figure 5 The graphs show the transfer function curves of the optical display systems corresponding to 0D, -1D, -2D, 1D, and 2D. Figure 5 The information indicates that, under full field of view, the transfer function value of the optical display system is as low as 0.2 at 70 l p / mm, which means that the image quality and resolution of the optical display system meet the design requirements.

[0042] In summary, by setting the first lens 2 and the second lens 3, this utility model can effectively reduce the size and weight of the optical display system, effectively correct the aberrations of the system, reduce distortion, improve imaging quality, and thus reduce the weight and size of the VR device and improve the user experience of the VR device.

[0043] The following is the content of the second aspect of this utility model:

[0044] This invention provides a VR device that includes the aforementioned optical display system. Through the optical display system, the VR device can achieve relatively good image quality while effectively reducing the weight and size of the VR device, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0045] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
