The invention discloses an AR light
machine and a near-to-eye
display device, and relates to the technical field of AR
optics. The illumination light path comprises a collimating lens, a
compound eye, a first lens and a
diffusion sheet which are tightly arranged in sequence along a
light beam emitted by the
light source; the imaging light path comprises a balsaming lens group, a polarization splitting
prism, a reflector and a second lens in contact with the light-emitting surface of the polarization splitting
prism, wherein the balsaming lens group, the polarization splitting
prism and the reflector are tightly arranged in sequence in the direction of the
light beam reflected by the LCOS. The lenses are tightly arranged, and in the illumination light path, light beams passing through the
diffusion sheet sequentially enter a polarization splitting prism and a bonding lens group in the imaging light path, so that
multiplexing of the polarization splitting prism and the bonding lens group is realized; in addition, in the imaging light path, through a folding structure of a polarization splitting prism, the size of the AR light
machine is reduced; in addition, the LCOS is small in size. In conclusion, the volume of the AR light
machine provided by the invention can be 30% of that of a traditional AR light machine, and
miniaturization of the AR light machine is realized.
