Abstract

The invention relates to a refraction and diffraction mixing optical system and head mounted display using the said system. The system comprises an organic electroluminescent display on the focal plane along the direction of optical axle. The light from the organic electroluminescent display passes through a refraction and diffraction mixing lens with binary optical elements on the plane of plano-convex lens and enters into a rectangle reflecting prism and passes through lens after reflecting, and forms enlarged virtual image at exit pupil. A lens with a certain magnification ratio is mounted between the rectangle reflecting prism and exit pupil and reduces the focus of the whole optical system, namely increases the field angle of the system, therefore the whole menu is greatly magnified. The binary optical elements are provided in the system. The system has simple structure and implement color display with a certain magnification ratio and can effectively adjust the aberration and increase the image quality.

Wherein, described active display is a display of organic electroluminescence; Described refraction diffraction hybrid lens has binary optical elements to place on the plane of plano-convex lens, and this binary optical elements is 8 step embossment structures; Described reverberator is right-angle reflecting prism or total reflection prism; Described lens are the lens with certain focal power and magnification.
Described refraction/diffraction mixed optical system, be preferably, comprise along its optical axis direction: be located at the display of organic electroluminescence on the focal plane, its light that sends is provided with the refraction diffraction hybrid lens of binary optical elements through the plane of plano-convex lens, enter right-angle reflecting prism, scioptics form the amplification virtual image at the emergent pupil place after reflection; After promptly the light that is sent by display of organic electroluminescence passes through refraction diffraction hybrid lens, enter right-angle reflecting prism, the rays pass through lens through reflection enters emergent pupil or human eye.
Refraction/diffraction mixed optical of the present invention system is specially adapted to the display of modern soldier's helmet, in the display of soldier's helmet, its optical system comprises successively along optical axis direction: display of organic electroluminescence, refraction diffraction hybrid lens, right-angle reflecting prism and lens, the light that sends by display of organic electroluminescence by refraction diffraction hybrid lens after, enter right-angle reflecting prism, light through reflection sees through lens, enters human eye.
In addition, this display also has the shell of a protection inner structure, and a helmet hanging part that is connected with the helmet.
Improve the method for picture element in the helmet display optical system, at first be located at the light that display of organic electroluminescence sent on the focal plane, through folding hybrid lens and the right-angle prism reflection of spreading out, observe into the amplification virtual image by the emergent pupil place, between right-angle reflecting prism and emergent pupil, be provided with lens.Secondly described being in is provided with the folding hybrid lens that spreads out between display of organic electroluminescence on the focal plane and the right-angle reflecting prism.In order to make the helmet display optical system volume-diminished, adopted right-angle reflecting prism to fold light in addition.
Technological merit of the present invention is simple in structure, realizes colored demonstration, has certain magnification, and effectively aberration correction improves picture element.

Embodiment
Because HMD is a kind of being installed on the helmet as shown in Figure 4, and the visual optical system of the comfortable amplification virtual image is provided for the wearer.Usually it is little, in light weight to wish that it has bigger field angle and color display capabilities and volume.In conventional optical systems (as depicted in figs. 1 and 2), very difficult realization not only increases field angle, the colored demonstration of realization but also can reduce the optical system volume and weight, because realize colored the demonstration for traditional optical system, just must introduce the balsaming lens correcting chromatic aberration that the different optical material of refractive index is formed, cause optical system weight to increase.And, have to increase the optical system bore in order to increase the focal length (reducing the radius of concave mirror) that field angle will reduce optical system, cause system bulk to increase.Design optical system as shown in Figure 3 for this reason, between right-angle reflecting prism and emergent pupil, increased the lens that a slice has certain focal power.These lens can improve the performance of optical system, make guaranteeing under the prerequisite that the optical system bore does not increase, by reducing the purpose that the optical system focal length reaches increases optical system field angle and exit pupil diameter.In addition, these lens can also play anaberration, improve picture element.
Soldier's helmet display optical system of the present invention is shown in Fig. 3,4: 3 or 3 ' is display of organic electroluminescence (OLED); 5 or 5 ' is to roll over the hybrid lens that spreads out; 6 or 6 ' is right-angle reflecting prism; 7 or 7 ' is lens; The 8th, emergent pupil (being the position that human eye is placed), the 4th, the package casing of helmet display optical system; The 2nd, the hanging part of Helmet Mounted Display.In this optical system, display of organic electroluminescence 3 or 3 ' is on the focal plane of optical system, its light that sends spreads out by folding behind hybrid lens 5 or 5 ', enter right-angle reflecting prism 6 or 6 ', light from right-angle reflecting prism 6 or 6 ' reflection, see through lens 7 or 7 ', enter emergent pupil 8 (human eye) at last.The virtual image (being in infinite distant place) that image on the OLED becomes to amplify through optical system, human eye just can be observed the virtual image through amplifying on the OLED at the place, exit pupil position.
The crucial part of the present invention is, the one, the lens with certain magnification are arranged between right-angle reflecting prism and the emergent pupil, and these lens can make the focal length of whole optical system reduce, and have in other words increased the field angle of system.Thereby it is many greatly when making the whole image ratio not add lens; The 2nd, introduced binary optical elements in the system, i.e. the plane represented of 5 ' dotted line.Binary optical elements is placed on the plane of plano-convex lens, can significantly reduce difficulty of processing, mask process is adopted in processing, is processed into 8 ledge structures with three masks, and whole embossment structure as shown in Figure 5, embossment is made up of the groove of a circle circle as can be seen, a side arm of groove is engraved as 8 steps, and all depths of groove are identical, but the width difference, this structure can make binary optical elements have certain focal power, thereby realizes its optical property.
The focal power of binary optical elements is directly proportional with optical wavelength, has strong dispersion interaction, and single binary optical elements generally is not used in the photoimaging with certain bandwidth.But when it mixed by rights with ordinary lens, dispersion interaction can be cancelled out each other.Because the equivalent Abbe number of binary optical elements is approximately-3.452, and the Abbe number of optical glass is all more than 20.Therefore the binary optical elements that forms on a positive lens surface can play the effect of negative lens, gives it just can achromatism with suitable focal power, is used for the broadband imaging.In addition, binary optical elements has the arbitrary phase distribution character, is the aberration that optical design provides the more freedom degree to come corrective system, improves the image quality of optical system.Have, binary optical elements also has the character of flattened field again, and when single binary optical elements used, its curvature of field was zero, does not have the problem of proofreading and correct the curvature of field.So the design of employing hybrid optical system can reduce lens number, reduced volume and weight reduction in the optical system.
