Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to display technology, and more particularly to a display system and a lens assembly for eliminating color dispersion. [Background technology]
[0002] Pancake optical systems are designed based on the principle of polarization. A reflective polarizer selectively reflects and reflects different polarized light. A quarter-wave plate, which creates a quarter-wave phase difference, is added to adjust the polarization. Light is reflected back and forth between a half-mirror lens and the reflective polarizer, and finally transmitted through the reflective polarizer. After passing through the quarter-wave plate, circularly polarized light becomes linearly polarized and is reflected by the reflective polarizer. It then passes through the quarter-wave plate a second time, becoming circularly polarized and reflected by the half-mirror lens. The circularly polarized light then passes through the quarter-wave plate a third time, becoming linearly polarized again. This time, the light is rotated 90 degrees compared to the first time, allowing it to pass through the reflective polarizer and complete the image capture.
[0003] Pancake optics is a combination of lenses, and focal length is typically adjusted by controlling the position of one of the lenses. For nearsighted users, adjusting focal length when wearing a conventional VR (virtual reality) head-mounted display is often done by changing lenses, which is tedious and limits focal length options. Upgrading the optics to pancake technology increases the number of focal length adjustment methods and makes it more convenient. Pancake optics generally consist of multiple lenses, so moving one lens adjusts the refractive index of the entire optical module to meet focusing needs. This method is not possible with conventional lenses or Fresnel lenses. However, because color dispersion is related to the wavelength of light, combinations of conventional lenses, Fresnel lenses, and pancake lenses all suffer from color dispersion. The focal length of a lens changes with the wavelength of light, causing longitudinal color dispersion. The magnification of a lens is related to the wavelength of light, causing transverse color dispersion. Therefore, it is impossible to completely eliminate color dispersion from a lens.
[0004] Therefore, the present invention proposes a display system and a lens assembly for eliminating color dispersion to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0027] The following describes a display system and a lens assembly for eliminating color dispersion, which combines a concave lens and a magnifying convex lens assembly and utilizes the different curvatures and magnifications at different positions on the concave surface of the concave lens to improve the phenomenon of lateral chromatic aberration.
[0028] FIG. 1 illustrates the chromatic aberration phenomenon of a typical lens. Referring to FIG. 1, a lens 10 generally has different refractive indices for different colors of light. In FIG. 1, red light is represented by a solid line and blue light is represented by a dashed line. When white light, represented by a bold line, is emitted toward the lens 10, the blue and red lights correspond to different refractive indices, and are separated by the lens 10. When blue and red lights are emitted from the lens 10 toward an image plane 11, blue and red regions are formed in different regions of the image plane 11. This is the chromatic dispersion phenomenon or chromatic aberration phenomenon. FIG. 2 illustrates the elimination of chromatic aberration by the achromatic lens of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, the achromatic lens 12 includes a convex lens 120 and a concave lens 121 bonded together. The convex lens 120 and the concave lens 121 have different optical properties and are made of glass. Furthermore, red light is represented by a solid line and blue light is represented by a dashed line. When white light, represented by the bold line, is emitted toward the achromatic lens 12, the blue and red lights are slightly separated by the achromatic lens 12. Because the convex lens 120 and the concave lens 121 have different optical properties, when the blue and red lights are emitted from the achromatic lens 12 toward the image plane 11, they are irradiated onto the same area on the image plane 11, thereby avoiding color dispersion and chromatic aberration. From a photochemical perspective, the achromatic lens 12 can eliminate chromatic aberrations of yellow light with a wavelength of 589.3 nm and violet light with a wavelength of 430.8 nm.
[0029] FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a display system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. A first embodiment of the display system 2 will be introduced below, so please refer to FIG. 3. The display system 2 includes a color dispersion eliminating lens assembly 20 and a display module 21.

The optical adhesive 202 may be, but is not limited to, a liquid optical adhesive. The first concave lens 200 has a light-receiving surface and a concave surface, and the light-receiving surface and the concave surface face each other. In the first embodiment, a flat light-receiving surface is used as an example, and the first concave lens 200 is a plano-concave lens. The circular polarizer 201 is disposed on the concave surface of the first concave lens 200, and the circular polarizer 201 is curved to correspond to the concave surface. The magnifying convex lens assembly 203 is mounted on the circular polarizer 201 via an optical adhesive 202. The first concave lens 200, the circular polarizer 201, and the magnifying convex lens assembly 203 are all arranged in this order along the optical axis, which is represented by the dashed line. The circular polarizer 201 is curved to correspond to the concave surface, thereby avoiding light leakage due to axial misalignment between the circular polarizer 201 and the magnifying convex lens assembly 203 and improving optical and chromatic aberrations. The display surface of the display module 21 faces the light-receiving surface of the first concave lens 200. The display module 21 does not include a polarizer. The display module 21 emits unpolarized light to the light-receiving surface of the first concave lens 200. A magnified virtual image is formed when the display module 21 is positioned within the total effective focal length of the first concave lens 200, the circular polarizer 201, and the magnifying convex lens assembly 203. Different positions on the concave surface of the first concave lens 200 have different curvatures and magnifications, and the first concave lens 200 is combined with the magnifying convex lens assembly 203, so that the chromatic dispersion eliminating lens assembly 20 can improve lateral chromatic aberration. In addition, in order to improve the imaging effect, the chromatic dispersion eliminating lens assembly 20 can also include an anti-reflection layer 204 provided on the light-receiving surface of the first concave lens 200.
[0030] In some embodiments of the present invention, the circular polarizer 201 can include, but is not limited to, a first linear polarizer 2010 and a first quarter-wave plate 2011. The first linear polarizer 2010 and the first quarter-wave plate 2011 are stacked in this order on the concave surface of the first concave lens 200, and the first linear polarizer 2010 and the first quarter-wave plate 2011 are curved to correspond to the concave surface of the first concave lens 200. The magnifying convex lens assembly 203 is mounted on the first quarter-wave plate 2011 via an optical adhesive 202, and the first concave lens 200, the first linear polarizer 2010, the first quarter-wave plate 2011, and the magnifying convex lens assembly 203 are all arranged in this order along the optical axis.
[0031] The magnifying convex lens assembly 203 includes, but is not limited to, a first convex lens 2030, a half mirror lens 2031, a second quarter-wave plate 2032, a reflective polarizer 2033, a second linear polarizer 2034, an optical adhesive 2035, and a second convex lens 2036. The optical adhesive 2035 may be, but is not limited to, a liquid optical adhesive. The first convex lens 2030 has a concave surface and a convex surface facing each other, and a half mirror lens 2031 is provided on the convex surface of the first convex lens 2030. The convex surface of the first convex lens 2030 is provided on the first quarter-wave plate 2011 via the optical adhesive 202 and the half mirror lens 2031. The second quarter-wave plate 2032, the reflective polarizer 2033, and the second linear polarizer 2034 are stacked in this order on the concave surface of the first convex lens 2030, and the second quarter-wave plate 2032, the reflective polarizer 2033, and the second linear polarizer 2034 are curved to correspond to the concave surface of the first convex lens 2030. Since the first quarter-wave plate 2011 is curved to correspond to the concave surface of the first concave lens 200, light leakage due to axial misalignment between the first quarter-wave plate 2011 and the second quarter-wave plate 2032 can be avoided and optical aberrations and chromatic aberrations can be improved. The second convex lens 2036 has a concave surface and a convex surface facing each other. The convex surface of the second convex lens 2036 is mounted on the second linear polarizer 2034 via an optical adhesive 2035, and the half mirror lens 2031, the first convex lens 2030, the second quarter-wave plate 2032, the reflective polarizer 2033, the second linear polarizer 2034 and the second convex lens 2036 are all arranged in this order along the optical axis.
[0032] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a display system according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The second embodiment of the display system 2 will be introduced below, so please refer to FIG. 4. The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the first concave lens 200. In the second embodiment, the first concave lens 200 is a convex-concave lens, and its light-receiving surface is a convex surface. The curvature of the concave surface of the first concave lens 200 is greater than the curvature of the convex surface of the first concave lens 200. The other components of the second embodiment have been introduced in the first embodiment, so they will not be described again here.
[0033] FIG. 5A is a diagram of field curvature in the tangential and sagittal directions for red light in the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5B is a diagram of field curvature in the tangential and sagittal directions for blue light in the second embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 6B is a diagram of distortion aberration for blue light in the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6C is a diagram of distortion aberration for green light in the second embodiment of the present invention. In FIGS. 5A to 5C, the dashed line represents the sagittal direction, and the solid line represents the tangential direction. As can be seen from FIGS. 5A to 5C and 6A to 6C, the optical aberration of the display system in the second embodiment is controlled within an appropriate range, ensuring imaging quality.
[0034] FIG. 7 is a curve diagram of the field angle and lateral chromatic aberration of red and blue light in the second embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 7, the solid line represents red light, and the dashed line represents blue light. When the field angle of the magnifying convex lens assembly of the present invention is 40 degrees, the lateral chromatic aberration of blue light is -100 μm, and the lateral chromatic aberration of red light is -42 μm. However, as shown in FIG. 7, when the field angle of the display system in the second embodiment is 40 degrees, the lateral chromatic aberration of blue light is -34.2 μm, and the lateral chromatic aberration of red light is -23 μm. In other words, the lateral chromatic aberration of the display system in the second embodiment is smaller than that of the magnifying convex lens assembly. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating the elimination of chromatic aberration by the display system in the second embodiment of the present invention. The different types of lines shown in FIG. 8 represent light of different colors. When the display module 21 emits unpolarized light represented by different lines toward the first concave lens 200 and the magnifying convex lens assembly 203, the transverse chromatic aberration of various lights can be effectively reduced.

The display surface of the display module 21 faces the circular polarizer 201. The display module 21 does not include a polarizer.

The display module 21 is positioned within the total effective focal length of the first concave lens 200, the circular polarizer 201, and the magnifying convex lens assembly 203, thereby forming a magnified virtual image. Different positions on the concave surface of the first concave lens 200 have different curvatures and magnifications. The first concave lens 200, combined with the magnifying convex lens assembly 203, allows the chromatic dispersion eliminating lens assembly 20 to improve lateral chromatic aberration. To improve imaging efficiency, the chromatic dispersion eliminating lens assembly 20 may further include an anti-reflection layer 204 disposed between the light-receiving surface of the first concave lens 200 and the circular polarizer 201.
[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, the circular polarizer 201 may include, but is not limited to, a first linear polarizer 2010 and a first quarter-wave plate 2011.

[0038] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a display system according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. A display system 2 according to the fourth embodiment will be described below, so please refer to FIG. 10. The fourth embodiment differs from the third embodiment in the first concave lens 200. In the fourth embodiment, the first concave lens 200 is a convex-concave lens, and its light-receiving surface is convex. The curvature of the concave surface of the first concave lens 200 is greater than the curvature of the convex surface of the first concave lens 200. The first linear polarizer 2010 and the first quarter-wave plate 2011 of the circular polarizer 201 are both curved to correspond to the convex surface of the first concave lens 200. The other components of the fourth embodiment were introduced in the third embodiment and will not be described again here. Because the first quarter-wave plate 2011 is curved to correspond to the convex surface of the first concave lens 200, light leakage due to axial misalignment between the first quarter-wave plate 2011 and the second quarter-wave plate 2032 can be avoided, and optical aberrations and chromatic aberrations can be improved.
[0039] According to the above-described embodiment, the display system and the lens assembly for eliminating color dispersion improve the transverse chromatic aberration phenomenon by combining a concave lens and a magnifying convex lens assembly.
[0040] The above description is merely an explanation of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications based on the shape, structure, features, and spirit described in the claims of the present invention are included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
