Projection devices, display equipment and vehicles
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202422763657.5, filed on November 13, 2024, entitled "Projection Device, Display Equipment and Vehicle", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This application relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a projection device, display equipment, and vehicle. Background Technology
[0003] With the development of intelligent vehicle technology, head-up displays (HUDs) are installed in vehicles to improve driving safety. A HUD typically consists of a picture generation unit (PGU) and an optical system (mainly composed of various optical components, such as a diffuser and light reflectors). The picture generation unit generates the image light and projects it outwards. The optical system processes the projected image light by folding and magnifying it. The diffuser diffuses the projected image light, increasing the diffusion angle and thus expanding the eyebox. However, to ensure optimal display quality, the diffuser is relatively large, making it difficult to miniaturize the HUD itself. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This application provides a projection device, a display device, and a vehicle that improves display performance while reducing the size of the projection device.
[0005] A first aspect of this application provides a projection device, comprising: an image generating unit for generating image light; and a diffusion screen located on the light-emitting side of the image generating unit for diffusing the image light projected by the image generating unit, wherein the light-incident surface of the diffusion screen is a curved surface with a non-zero curvature.
[0006] The projection device provided in this application embodiment sets the light-incident surface of the diffuser screen as a curved surface with non-zero curvature, which can improve display performance. At the same time, the diffuser screen is small in size, so it has little impact on the size of the projection device. Therefore, setting the light-incident surface of the diffuser screen as a curved surface can improve display performance while reducing the size of the projection device, which helps to miniaturize the projection device.
[0007] In some possible implementations, the light-incident surface of the diffuser is a concave, convex surface facing the light-emitting side of the diffuser.
[0008] In some possible implementation manners, the diffuser screen satisfies: 80mm < R < ∞, where R is the curvature radius of the light incident surface of the diffuser screen, avoiding the light incident surface of the diffuser screen from being too concave, which helps to improve the imaging quality.
[0009] In some possible implementation manners, the light incident surface of the diffuser screen is a negative curved surface convex towards the image generation unit.
[0010] In some possible implementation manners, the diffuser screen satisfies: -80mm < R < ∞, where R is the curvature radius of the light incident surface of the diffuser screen, avoiding the light incident surface of the diffuser screen from being too convex, which helps to improve the imaging quality.
[0011] In some possible implementation manners, the light incident surface of the diffuser screen is a spherical surface, an aspherical surface, a cylindrical surface or a free-form surface.
[0012] In some possible implementation manners, the light incident surface of the diffuser screen is a positive cylindrical surface concave towards the light exit side of the diffuser screen, and the diffuser screen satisfies: 80mm < R < ∞, where R is the curvature radius of the light incident surface of the diffuser screen.
[0013] In some possible implementation manners, the light incident surface of the diffuser screen is a negative cylindrical surface convex towards the image generation unit, and the diffuser screen satisfies: -80mm < R < ∞, where R is the curvature radius of the light incident surface of the diffuser screen.
[0014] In some possible implementation manners, the image generation unit includes: an image source for generating image light; and a projection lens located on the light exit side of the image source and on the light incident side of the diffuser screen, and configured to project the image light generated by the image source onto the light incident surface of the diffuser screen.
[0015] In some possible implementation manners, the image source includes: a light source and a modulation device, where the modulation device is configured to modulate the light emitted by the light source to obtain image light including image information.
[0016] In some possible implementation manners, the modulation device is any one of a liquid crystal display, a liquid crystal on silicon, a digital micromirror device or a thin film transistor.
[0017] In some possible implementation manners, the projection lens satisfies: BFL ≥ 20mm, where BFL is the back focal length of the projection lens. In this way, it is possible to avoid the optical path of the projection lens from being too short, which is beneficial to the setting of the rear optical path.
[0018] In some possible implementation manners, the projection lens satisfies: BFL / R ≥ 0.25, where BFL is the back focal length of the projection lens and R is the curvature radius of the light incident surface of the diffuser screen. In this way, it is possible to effectively balance the imaging quality and the volume of the projection device.
[0019] In some possible implementation manners, the projection lens includes at least five lenses arranged along the optical axis from the object side to the image side. In this way, the imaging quality meets the requirements.
[0020] In some possible implementations, the projection lens has ten or fewer lenses. This reduces the optical path of the projection lens, which helps to reduce its size.
[0021] A second aspect of this application provides a display device, which includes a processor and a projection device as described in any of the first aspects. The processor is configured to send image data to an image generation unit so that the image generation unit generates image light.
[0022] In some possible implementations, the display device also includes a reflective device for reflecting the image light projected by the projection device to form an image.
[0023] A third aspect of this application provides a means of transportation that includes a display device as described in the second aspect.
[0024] In some possible implementations, the vehicle also includes a dashboard with display devices mounted thereon.
[0025] In some possible implementations, the vehicle also includes a windshield through which image light emitted from the display device is incident to form an image. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0049] The terminology used in the implementation section of this application is for the purpose of explaining specific embodiments of this application only, and is not intended to limit this application.
[0050] To facilitate understanding, the relevant technical terms involved in the embodiments of this application will first be explained and described.
[0051] Focal length, also known as focal length, is a measure of the convergence or divergence of light in an optical system. It refers to the vertical distance from the optical center of a lens or lens group to the focal plane when a scene at infinity is formed into a clear image on the focal plane.
[0052] The image side is the side where the image is located, with the lens as the boundary. The side of the lens facing the image side is the image-side surface of the lens.
[0053] The object side is the side where the modulation device (e.g., DMD) is located, and the side of the lens facing the object side is the object side surface.
[0054] Back focal length (BFL) is defined as the distance from the lens closest to the imaging plane to the modulation unit (e.g., DMD).
[0055] Optical power characterizes the ability of a lens to refract an incident parallel beam of light.
[0056] Positive focal length means that the lens has a positive focal length and has the effect of converging light.
[0057] Negative optical power means that the lens has a negative focal length, which has the effect of diverging light.
[0058] Aperture is a device used to control the amount of light passing through the lens into an electronic device. It is usually expressed in the lens using the F# (F-number) value.
[0059] The aperture number F# is a relative value derived from the lens's focal length and the lens's light-gathering diameter (the reciprocal of the relative aperture). The smaller the aperture number F#, the more light enters the lens in the same unit of time.
[0060] Axial chromatic aberration, also known as longitudinal chromatic aberration or positional chromatic aberration, occurs when a beam of light parallel to the optical axis converges at different positions after passing through a lens. This aberration is called positional chromatic aberration or axial chromatic aberration. This is because the lens images different wavelengths of light at different positions, causing the images of different colors of light to not completely overlap during the final imaging process, resulting in the dispersion of polychromatic light.
[0061] Distortion, also known as image distortion, refers to the degree of distortion in the image formed by an optical system relative to the object itself. Distortion occurs due to aperture aberration; the height of the intersection point between the principal ray from different fields of view and the Gaussian image plane after passing through the optical system is not equal to the ideal image height, and this difference is the distortion. Therefore, distortion only changes the imaging position of an off-axis object point on the ideal plane, causing distortion in the image shape, but it does not affect the image's sharpness.
[0062] This application provides a display device 100 and a vehicle, which can be a car, truck, motorcycle, bus, ship, airplane, helicopter, lawnmower, recreational vehicle, amusement park vehicle, construction equipment, tram, golf cart, train or handcart, etc., and is not particularly limited in this application embodiment.
[0063] The display device 100 can be a head-up display (HUD), a projector, etc. The HUD can be a windshield (W) HUD, an augmented reality (AR) HUD, etc. The following description uses a head-up display as an example, with the display device 100 installed on a vehicle, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the display device 100 provided in this embodiment.
[0064] The display device 100 projects vehicle status information, external object indications, and navigation information into the driver's field of vision, avoiding the need for the driver to look down at this information and improving driving safety. Status information includes, but is not limited to, vehicle speed, mileage, fuel level, coolant temperature, and headlight status. External object indications include, but are not limited to, safe following distance, surrounding obstacles, and reversing camera information. Navigation information includes, but is not limited to, directional arrows, distance, and travel time.
[0065] For example, if the vehicle includes a dashboard, the display device 100 can be installed in the dashboard for concealed installation. Of course, the display device 100 can also be installed in other locations on the vehicle.
[0066] As shown in Figure 1, the vehicle also includes a windshield. Image light emitted from the display device 100 is incident on the windshield to form an image. For example, the windshield reflects the image light emitted from the display device 100 to the front of the vehicle, forming a virtual image superimposed on the real environment on the outside of the vehicle, thereby enhancing the display.
[0067] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a display device in the related technology.
[0068] In related technologies, as shown in Figure 2, the display device 200 includes an image generation unit (PGU) 210 and a diffuser screen 220. The image generation unit 210 generates image light to form an image and projects the image light outward. The diffuser screen 220 diffuses the image light projected by the image generation unit, increasing the diffusion angle of the image light to expand the eyebox. The diffuser screen 220 has a flat panel structure, and its light-incident surface 230 is planar. To reduce the size of the display device 200, the diffuser screen 220 is relatively small, resulting in a smaller area of its light-incident surface 230, which reduces the display effect. Furthermore, to ensure the display effect of the display device 200, the image generation unit 210 and the diffuser screen 220 are arranged at an angle, which restricts the spatial layout of the display device 200 and makes it difficult to reduce its size.
[0069] In view of this, the display device 100 provided in this application embodiment sets the light-incident surface 111 of the diffuser screen 10 as a curved surface with non-zero curvature, which improves display performance while reducing the size of the display device 100, thus contributing to the miniaturization of the display device 100. In addition, when the image generation unit 20 is arranged at an angle to the diffuser screen 10, the size of the display device 100 can also be reduced.
[0070] In this embodiment of the application, the display device 100 includes a processor and a projection device 110 (as shown in FIG1). The processor is used to send image data to the image generation unit 20 so that the image generation unit 20 generates image light.
[0071] The processor can be referred to as a front-end processor. A processor includes one or more processing units, such as: an application processor (AP), a modem processor, a graphics processing unit (GPU), an image signal processor (ISP), a controller, a video codec, a digital signal processor (DSP), a baseband processor, and / or a neural network processing unit (NPU). These different processing units can be independent devices or integrated into one or more processors.
[0072] In some possible implementations, continuing to refer to FIG1, the display device 100 may further include a reflective device 120, which is used to reflect and image the image light projected by the projection device 110 to form an image. Specifically, as shown in FIG1, the reflective device 120 is used to reflect the image light projected by the projection device 110 onto the windshield, and the windshield reflects the image light to the outside of the vehicle to form a virtual image located in front of the vehicle.
[0073] The number of reflective devices 120 can be one (as shown in Figure 1) or more. For example, the number of reflective devices 120 can be two. Of course, the number of reflective devices 120 can also be more or less than two. When there are multiple reflective devices 120, the types of the multiple reflective devices 120 can be the same or different, or they can be partially the same.
[0074] For example, the reflecting device 120 can be a reflector, such as the curved reflector shown in FIG1.
[0075] It should be noted that, in addition to the projection device 110, processor, and reflective device 120 described above, the display device 100 may also include other components. For example, the display device 100 may also include a power module, a wireless communication module, and an I / O interface.
[0076] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the projection device in Figure 1.
[0077] As shown in Figure 3, the projection device 110 includes an image generation unit 20 (PGU) and a diffuser screen 10. The image generation unit 20 generates image light and projects it onto the diffuser screen 10. The diffuser screen 10 is located on the light-emitting side of the image generation unit 20 and diffuses the image light projected by the image generation unit 20 to increase the diffusion angle (spread angle) of the image light.
[0078] It should be noted that, in addition to the PGU and the diffuser screen 10, the projection device 110 may also include other optical elements. For example, a reflective element (not shown in the figure) may be provided between the diffuser screen 10 and the PGU. The reflective element is used to reflect the image light projected by the PGU to the diffuser screen 10.
[0079] The image generation unit 20 is also called an optical engine. As shown in Figure 1, the image generation unit 20 includes an image source 21 and a projection lens 22. The image source 21 is used to generate image light. The projection lens 22 is located on the light-emitting side of the image source 21 and on the light-incident side of the diffuser screen 10. The projection lens 22 is used to project the image light generated by the image source 21 onto the light-incident surface 111 of the diffuser screen 10.
[0080] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG1, the image source 21 includes a light source 211 and a modulation device 212. The modulation device 212 is used to modulate the light emitted by the light source 211 to obtain image light including image information. The modulation device 212 includes, but is not limited to, liquid crystal display (LCD), liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS), digital micromirror device (DMD), and thin film transistor (TFT).
[0081] In addition to the light source 211 and the modulation device 212, the image source 21 may also include a cover glass 213 (CG) in some embodiments. The cover glass 213 is located on the light-emitting side of the modulation device 212 and protects the modulation device 212. The number of cover glasses 213 can be one or more, and there is no limitation here.
[0082] The diffusion screen 10 is also known as a diffusion sheet, a light diffusion element, a diffusion plate, or a diffusion component. The material of the diffusion screen 10 can be polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), optical glass, etc., which is not limited in this application.
[0083] As shown in FIG. 3, the diffusion screen 10 has an incident light surface 111 and an emergent light surface 112 facing away from each other. Among them, the projection lens 22 projects the image light emitted from the image source 21 onto the incident light surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10, and the image light enters the interior of the diffusion screen 10 through the incident light surface 111 and exits from the emergent light surface 112 of the diffusion screen 10.
[0084] In the embodiment of this application, as shown in FIG. 3, the incident light surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10 is a curved surface with a non-zero curvature, that is, the incident light surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10 is not a flat surface. When the volume of the diffusion screen 10 is fixed, the area of the incident light surface 111 with a curved surface structure is larger than the area of the incident light surface 111 with a flat surface structure. The larger the area of the incident light surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10, the greater the improvement in the display effect. Therefore, setting the incident light surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10 as a curved surface can improve the display performance. At the same time, the volume of the diffusion screen 10 is small, which has little impact on the volume of the projection device 110 and helps to miniaturize the projection device 110. In addition, when the diffusion screen 10 and the image generation unit 20 are arranged at an angle, the volume of the projection device 110 can also be reduced.
[0085] Among them, the incident light surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10 can be a curved surface such as a spherical surface, an aspherical surface, a cylindrical surface, or a free-form surface.
[0086] In some possible implementation manners, the incident light surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10 is a positive curved surface concave toward the emergent light side of the diffusion screen 10, that is to say, the positive curved surface is a concave surface structure with an inward groove from the incident light side to the emergent light side of the diffusion screen 10 (as shown in FIG. 3).
[0087] Since the curved surface can be a spherical surface, an aspherical surface, a cylindrical surface, or a free-form surface, etc., the incident light surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10 can be a positive curved surface such as a positive spherical surface, a positive aspherical surface, a positive cylindrical surface, or a positive free-form surface.
[0088] In one implementation manner, when the incident light surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10 is a positive curved surface, the diffusion screen 10 can satisfy: 80mm < R < ∞, where R is the radius of curvature of the incident light surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10, avoiding the incident light surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10 from being too concave and helping to improve the imaging quality.
[0089] Among them, there is no limitation on the specific value of the radius of curvature of the light incident surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10. For example, the radius of curvature of the diffusion screen 10 can be 81 mm, 50 mm, 90 mm, 100 mm, etc.
[0090] Since the positive curved surface can be a positive spherical surface, a positive aspherical surface, a positive cylindrical surface or a positive free-form surface, etc., the radius of curvature of any one of the positive spherical surface, the positive aspherical surface, the positive cylindrical surface and the positive free-form surface can satisfy: 80 mm < R < ∞.
[0091] Of course, in another embodiment, when the light incident surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10 is a positive curved surface, the radius of curvature of the light incident surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10 can also be less than or equal to 80 mm.
[0092] FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of another projection device provided by an embodiment of the present application.
[0093] In some other possible implementation manners, the light incident surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10 is a negative curved surface convex toward the image generation unit 20, that is, the negative curved surface is a convex surface structure protruding outward from the light output side to the light input side of the diffusion screen 10 (as shown in FIG. 4).
[0094] Since the curved surface can be a spherical surface, an aspherical surface, a cylindrical surface or a free-form surface, etc., the light incident surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10 can be a negative curved surface such as a negative spherical surface, a negative aspherical surface, a negative cylindrical surface or a negative free-form surface.
[0095] In one embodiment, when the light incident surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10 is a negative curved surface, the diffusion screen 10 can satisfy: -80 mm < R < ∞, where R is the radius of curvature of the light incident surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10, avoiding excessive convexity of the light incident surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10, which helps to improve the imaging quality.
[0096] Among them, there is no limitation on the specific value of the radius of curvature of the light incident surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10. For example, the radius of curvature of the diffusion screen 10 can be -78 mm, -50 mm, -40 mm, -30 mm, etc.
[0097] Since the negative curved surface can be a negative spherical surface, a negative aspherical surface, a negative cylindrical surface or a negative free-form surface, etc., the radius of curvature of any one of the negative spherical surface, the negative aspherical surface, the negative cylindrical surface and the negative free-form surface can satisfy: -80 mm < R < ∞.
[0098] Of course, in another embodiment, when the light incident surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10 is a negative curved surface, the diffusion screen 10 can also satisfy: R < -80 mm.
[0099] In this embodiment, the structure of the light-emitting surface 112 of the diffuser screen 10 is not limited. In one embodiment, the light-emitting surface 112 of the diffuser screen 10 can be a curved surface, and the curvature of the light-emitting surface 112 of the diffuser screen 10 is not equal to zero. Specifically, the light-emitting surface 112 of the diffuser screen 10 can be a negative curved surface convex outward from the light-incoming side to the light-emitting side, or the light-emitting surface 112 of the diffuser screen 10 can be a positive curved surface concave inward from the light-emitting side to the light-incoming side. Furthermore, the specific type of the light-emitting surface 112 of the diffuser screen 10 can be a sphere, an aspherical surface, a cylindrical surface, or a freeform surface, etc. In another embodiment, the light-emitting surface 112 of the diffuser screen 10 can also be a plane (as shown in Figure 3 or Figure 4).
[0100] When both the light-incident surface 111 and the light-exiting surface 112 of the diffuser screen 10 are curved surfaces, the types of the light-incident surface 111 and the light-exiting surface 112 can be the same. For example, both the light-incident surface 111 and the light-exiting surface 112 can be cylindrical or spherical.
[0101] In order to match the light incident surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10 to ensure the display effect, in some possible implementations, the projection lens 22 includes at least five lenses arranged along the optical axis from the object side to the image side. For example, the projection lens 22 may include eight lenses (as shown in Figure 5). Of course, the number of lenses may be more or less than eight.
[0102] In some embodiments, the number of lenses in the projection lens 22 may be less than or equal to ten. This reduces the optical path of the projection lens 22 and helps to reduce its size.
[0103] In some embodiments, the projection lens may further include an aperture stop 221 (as shown in Figure 5), located between the fourth and fifth lenses in the direction from the image side to the object side. Of course, the aperture stop 221 may also be located in other positions, for example, between the fifth and sixth lenses in the direction from the image side to the object side.
[0104] In some possible implementations, the projection lens 22 can satisfy: BFL ≥ 20mm, where BFL is the back focal length of the projection lens 22. This avoids the optical path of the projection lens 22 being too short, which is beneficial for the setting of the back-end optical path.
[0105] The specific values for the back focal length (BFL) can be 20mm, 21mm, 25mm, 28mm, etc.
[0106] In some possible implementations, the projection lens 22 can satisfy: BFL / R ≥ 0.25, where BFL is the back focal length of the projection lens 22 and R is the radius of curvature of the light-incident surface 111 of the diffuser screen 10. This effectively balances image quality and the size of the projection device 110.
[0107] The BFL / R ratio can be 0.25, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, etc.
[0108] The specific structure of the projection device 110 provided in this application will be described below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0109] Example 1
[0110] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a projection device 110 provided in Embodiment 1 of this application.
[0111] The projection device 110 of Embodiment 1 of this application includes an image generation unit 20 and a diffusion screen 10. As shown in FIG. 5, the image generation unit 20 includes a projection lens 22, a cover glass 213, and a modulation device 212. The cover glass 213 is located on the light-emitting side of the modulation device 212 and on the light-incoming side of the projection lens 22. The projection lens 22 includes a first lens G1, a second lens G2, a third lens G3, a fourth lens G4, an aperture stop 221, a fifth lens G5, a sixth lens G6, a seventh lens G7, and an eighth lens G8 arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the image side to the object side. The first lens G1 is closest to the light-incoming surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10, and the eighth lens G8 is closest to the cover glass 213. The diffusion screen 10 is located on the light-emitting side of the projection lens 22, and the light-incoming surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10 is a curved surface. Specifically, the light-incoming surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10 is spherical, and the radius of curvature R of the light-incoming surface 111 of the diffusion screen 10 is 100 mm.
