Abstract
Description
smart glasses
[0001] This embodiment relates to smart glasses.
[0002] Virtual Reality (VR) refers to a specific environment or situation, or the technology itself, created using artificial technology such as computers that is similar to reality but is not actually real.
[0003] Augmented Reality (AR) refers to a technology that superimposes virtual objects or information onto a real environment to make them appear as if they exist in the original environment.
[0004] Mixed Reality (MR) or Hybrid Reality refers to the creation of new environments or new information by combining the virtual world and the real world. In particular, it is called Mixed Reality when referring to the ability to interact in real time between things existing in the real world and the virtual world.
[0005] In this case, the created virtual environment or situation stimulates the user's five senses and enables spatial and temporal experiences similar to reality, thereby allowing the user to freely cross the boundary between reality and imagination. Furthermore, the user can not only simply immerse themselves in this environment but also interact with the elements implemented within it, such as by using actual devices to perform operations or issue commands.
[0006] Recently, active research is being conducted on equipment (gear, devices) used in these technological fields. However, the need for miniaturization of such equipment is emerging.

[0089] As illustrated in FIG. 16(a), the optical axis of the image projected from the projection device (200) may be inclined toward the outer end of the display unit (300) as it moves away from the projection device (200). When viewed from above, the light incident surface of the display unit (300) and the optical axis of the projection device (200) may be positioned at an angle. When viewed from above, the light incident surface of the display unit (300) and the optical axis of the projection device (200) may form an acute angle.
[0090] When viewed from above, the projector device (200) can be fixed to the display unit (300) so as to be tilted in the left and right directions. When viewed from above, the optical axis of the projector device (200) can be positioned so as not to be perpendicular to the light incident surface of the display unit (300), that is, at an angle.

[0092] When viewed from the side, the projector device (200) can be fixed to the display unit (300) at an up-and-down tilt. When viewed from the side, the optical axis of the projector device (200) can be positioned at an angle, that is, not perpendicular to the light incident surface of the display unit (300).
[0093] FIG. 17 is an exploded perspective view of a projector device for smart glasses according to the present embodiment. FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view of a projector device for smart glasses according to the present embodiment.
[0094] The project device (200) may include a housing (210). The housing (210) may have a space in which each component of the project device (200) is accommodated or placed. The housing (210) may be located on the outside of the project device (200) to protect other components, or may be combined with other components of the project device (200) to fix and support other components. For example, a first lens assembly (230), a prism (250), and a light modulator (260) may be placed on the inside of the housing (210). Additionally, a light source unit (220), a second lens assembly (240), and a substrate unit (270) may be placed on the outside of the housing (210).
[0095] The housing (210) can be distinguished into a first part in which the first lens assembly (230) and the prism (250) are placed, and a second part in which the light modulator (260) is placed. The first part may be placed on top of the second part. The width of the first part in the first direction may be smaller than the width of the second part in the first direction. Also, the width of the first part in the second direction may be larger than the width of the second part in the second direction. The width of the first part in the third direction may be the same as the width of the second part in the third direction. When viewed in the second direction, the center of the first part and the center of the second part may not coincide. When viewed in the second direction, the center of the first part may be spaced a certain distance in the first direction from the center of the second part. That is, the center of the first part may be placed close to one side of the second part.
[0096] A light source unit (220) may be disposed on the upper surface of the first part. The light source unit (220) is disposed on the upper surface of the first part, and may include a hole to allow light irradiated by the light source (221) to be incident. Additionally, a holder (231) of the first lens assembly (230) may be disposed on the upper surface of the first part. The upper surface of the first part may include a plurality of grooves into which a plurality of protrusions of the holder (231) are disposed. The upper surface of the first part may include first to third grooves. Each of the first to third grooves may be coupled with the first to third protrusions of the holder (231). The first to third grooves may be disposed on the corner portions of the upper surface of the first part. The first to third grooves may be disposed spaced apart from each other. The first groove may be disposed on the corner adjacent to the first aperture (a1) of the upper surface of the first part. The second and third grooves can be placed at the corners spaced apart from the first aperture (a1) on the upper surface.
[0097] A second lens assembly (240) may be disposed on the first side of the first part. The first side of the first part may include a first aperture (a1). Light reflected by the prism (250) may reach the second lens portion (242) of the second lens assembly (240) through the first aperture (a1). The first aperture (a1) may be disposed to overlap the prism (250) and the second lens assembly (240) in a first direction. The first aperture (a1) may include a D-cut structure. By including a D-cut structure, the first aperture (a1) can minimize the area that does not overlap with the prism (250) in the first direction. By including a D-cut structure, the first aperture (a1) can prevent light from entering the interior of the housing (210) from the outside through the space where the prism (250) is not disposed. Accordingly, unnecessary light can be prevented from being reflected by the prism (250) and entering the light modulator (260), and the optical performance of the projection device (200) can be improved.
[0098] A light modulator (260) may be disposed in the second part. The light modulator (260) may be disposed in a hole inside the second part. The lower surface of the second part may be in contact with the substrate part (270).

The second aperture (a2) may include an area that overlaps with the mirror portion (261) of the optical modulator (260) in the second direction and an area that does not overlap. The width of the second aperture (a2) in the first direction may be smaller than the width of the prism (250) in the first direction.

Additionally, the light source (221) may be positioned to overlap the prism (250) in the second direction. By positioning the light source (221) of the light source unit (220) to face the light modulator (260) and the prism (250) in the second direction so as to overlap them, the light source (221) can be positioned close to the light modulator (260) and the prism (250), and the light path can be formed short. Accordingly, the configuration of the lighting system can be simplified, and the projector device (200) can be miniaturized.

However, as described above, it is not limited to this and may be positioned on both the left eye and the right eye.
[0150] The display unit (300) can allow the user to visually perceive the external environment while simultaneously displaying an image generated by the projection device (200) to the user. For example, the display unit (300) can project an image onto a display area using a prism.
[0151] And the display unit (300) may be formed to be transparent so that the projected image and the general field of view in front, that is, the range the user looks at through their eyes, can be seen simultaneously. For example, the display unit (300) may be translucent and may be formed of an optical member including glass.
[0152] The display unit (300) may be inserted into and fixed to an opening included in the front frame (110), or positioned on the back of the opening, that is, between the opening and the user, and fixed to the front frame (110). Although the drawing illustrates an example in which the display unit (300) is positioned on the back of the opening and fixed to the front frame (110), the display unit (300) may be placed and fixed at various locations on the frame (100).
[0153] As illustrated in FIG. 20, when an image light for an image is incident on one side of a display unit (300) from a projection device (200), the image light is emitted through the display unit (300) to the other side, thereby allowing the image generated by the projection device (200) to be shown to the user.
[0154] Accordingly, the user can view the external environment through the opening of the frame (100) while simultaneously viewing the image generated by the projection device (200). That is, the image output through the display unit (300) can be seen overlapping with the normal field of view. The electronic device can utilize these display characteristics to provide Augmented Reality (AR), which overlays a virtual image onto a real-world image or background to display it as a single image.
[0155] Furthermore, in addition to this operation, the external environment and the image generated by the projection device (200) may be provided to the user with a time difference for a short period that is not perceived by the user. For example, within a single frame, the external environment may be provided to the user in one section, and the image from the projection device (200) may be provided to the user in another section. Alternatively, both overlap and time difference may be provided.
[0156] In addition, the projection device according to the embodiment may have a structure described below, or may be formed with a structure further including a waveguide or / and glass in the structure. In addition, the projection device may include a Digital Light Processing (DLP) projector or a projection device.
