Specific embodiment
The specific work process of the present invention is described below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of slab guide binocular optical display device of the present invention with sawtooth sandwich.Such as Fig. 1 institutes Show, the system composition of optical display device of the present invention includes:Image display light source 10, collimation lens set 11, coupling-in face 12, Slab guide substrate 13, sawtooth slot structure 14,1/2nd beam-splitting structures 15.Light from image display light source 10 is through accurate Incide coupling-in face 12 after the collimation of straight lens group 11, coupled face is reflected in slab guide substrate 13.Light After line is transferred to the position for needing display output in slab guide substrate without loss, show as sawtooth slot structure 14 is located at Total reflection transmission conditions of the light in slab guide have been broken in the position of output, the presence of the structure, make light wave couple output To outside slab guide, hence in the visual field to observer.In addition when light is propagated in the waveguide, due to 1/2nd points The presence of photo structure 15, transmits the light in slab guide substrate and divides equally, and reaches uniform after repeatedly dividing equally Distribution, so as to improve the brightness uniformity of output image.
The basic structure of planar waveguide optical device of the present invention is made up of six parts, for concrete application can be to the present invention's Ingredient is extended accordingly, so as to further improve potentiality of the system in terms of concrete application.Below for the present invention Corresponding illustrative explanation is given in the effect of six parts:
The main image information provided for observing in display application system is worn of image display light source 10, therefore to figure As the size of display light source has certain requirement, the light use wearable device otherwise by wearer is unfavorable for.Current main flow The micro-dimension image display light source that can be used to dress display has LCD, OLED, Lcos etc..Different Display Techniques is corresponding to difference Display require.Overall structure in order to cause display system tends to miniaturization in volume, and considers that light source is respectively lighted The factors such as the restriction of uniformity, output light efficiency and brightness requirement and resolution and size of degree, generally select volume suitable, bright Spend the display light source of the light source as micro display system of uniform, high resolution, such as Lcos.Set to meet optical design and membrane system Meter etc. is required, it will usually the biasing mating plate before the display light source, for changing the polarization state of the light wave from display system.But this By the decrease significantly of the overall light efficiency caused into waveguide display systems.But, the light efficiency of liquid crystal on silicon Lcos is sufficient for phase The application requirement answered.
Collimation lens set 11 is mainly collimated to the light wave that image display light source sends.Show using in wearing, Used as final image information receiver, needs are collimated to the light wave from image freely loosens sight to reach human eye to human eye The actual requirement seen, otherwise will damage to human eye, affect normal vision.Human eye is allowed easily to check information in order to reach Requirement, typically the light wave that display light source sends is collimated using optical lenses, but depositing due to optical aberration Image has the aberrations such as astigmatism, distortion, the curvature of field, coma after lens, causes the contrast of image seriously to reduce.For This needs to carry out strict aberration correction according to application requirement for collimating lens, to reaching preferable imaging effect, otherwise The final resolution of optical system will be affected so that human eye cannot watch clearly image information.Due to common coquille When aberration is corrected, it is desirable to have the lens combination of different materials and radius of curvature is formed, and this can make the weight and body of whole system Product increase.Therefore generally adopt aspherical mirror and coquille combination to complete the correction of aberration, due to single aspherical mirror Some requirements in correction aberration, so as to the overall structure and weight to system brings benefit.As contemporary optics processes skill The development of art, free form surface technology are also applied in aberration correction, therefore can realize optical system with reference to free form surface technology The requirement of system miniaturization.
Coupling-in face 12 is changing the direction of propagation of light using the principle of direct reflection using prism.Carry out auto-collimation After the light of system incides coupling-in face 12, Jing input faces are reflected in slab guide substrate.As a result of Inclined-plane is coupling to light wave so as to enters substrate, can effectively avoid the reflected light occurred due to the presence of aberration Line is to original image as the impact of matter.Generally for the coupling input efficiency for further improving light wave, can be in coupling-in face 12 Effective clear aperture in the corresponding multi-layered antireflection coating of evaporation, to improve the coupling input efficiency of light wave.Additionally by coupling The corresponding reflectance coating of outer surface spin coating of input face can further improve the light-wave energy for entering into optical waveguide substrates.
The rapidoprint of slab guide substrate 13 has many kinds, such as glass material JGS1, JGS2, K9, BK7 etc., plastics material Material has PET, PMMA etc..Due to refractive index, the abbe number difference of every kind of material, cause the transmission of the cirtical angle of total reflection, material Rate, absorptance and vary in weight.In view of the restriction of practical application condition and processing technique, needs enter according to specific requirement Row is selected.Need to meet the condition of total reflection when light wave is propagated in the substrate, to ensure that light does not reflect substrate, while should Absorption of the material to light-wave energy itself is reduced as far as possible, and substantial amounts of light-wave energy can otherwise lost and shadow in transmitting procedure Ring the visibility of image.Planar substrate material limits the scope of the image for transmitting in the substrate in itself in addition, in order to expand biography The scope of defeated image, generally plates the film layer of certain reflectance or the Luciola vitticollis from high index of refraction as desired in substrate surface Glass material, gives certain extension to the angle of total reflection of material.For this purpose, the material of slab guide substrate is generally selected possesses conjunction The optical material of suitable refractive index, transmitance and mechanical performance, such as plastics acrylic PMMA.And plastics acrylic PMMA(nd= 1.49)The cirtical angle of total reflection be 42.2, higher than general K9 glass(nd=1.52)The cirtical angle of total reflection 41.8, in addition The lighter in weight of PMMA, for the K9 glass and PMMA plastics of equal volume, the weight of PMMA is the half of K9 glass, this excellent Gesture can be used to mitigate the weight that wearing shows application apparatus.
Sawtooth slot structure 14 is used for the extension for realizing visual field and by light wave coupling output to outside substrate.Light wave is in plane wave Reach sawtooth slot structure 14 after a certain distance is transmitted in conductive substrate, the outer surface spin coating of the sawtooth film layer of certain reflectance, So that light occurs reflection, original transmission direction is deviate from, make the energy of a part reflect substrate, reflect substrate Light enter into.As the presence of sawtooth slot structure can be such that whole toothed surfaces all realize Reflection to light, the light through reflecting can cover the most surfaces of substrate, it is achieved thereby that the expansion of observer visual field Exhibition, the i.e. extension of emergent pupil.But tooth-shape structure Surface Machining needs to reach minute surface(Surface roughness RaShould be less than the ripple of imaging Long size, such as 10-20nm)Effect, otherwise as irreflexive presence reduces can the definition of image, serious will cause The image information for needing to show is not observed.Generally tooth-shape structure realizes that using methods such as injection, diamond cuts these are processed The corresponding surface roughness of technique can meet requirement.
/ 2nd beam-splitting structures 15 are used to be distributed uniform light, improve the brightness uniformity of image.Using once sawing During tooth catoptric imaging, light can couple at broached-tooth design output substrate imaging beam energy be 50%, but this 50% it is defeated The distribution for going out energy in substrate surface is very uneven, when causing to observe image, occurs the uneven situation of light and shade, serious shadow in image planes Ring the comfort of observation.In order to avoid the appearance of this phenomenon, the spectro-film that can entreat spin coating certain in the substrate, passing light Light splitting is formed during defeated, so as to reach during sawtooth slot structure, light-wave energy, can be made by equably coupling output to outside substrate Obtain when the diverse location of coupling-out face is observed, the light and shade of image is homogeneous, improves the image planes brightness uniformity of image.
The job step and example of slab guide binocular optical display device of the present invention with sawtooth sandwich should With:
Fig. 2 is that the light of traditional periscopic optical presentation system propagates schematic diagram.As shown in Fig. 2 traditional periscopic light Display system is learned mainly by coupling-in face Surf-input, optical waveguide substrates upper and lower surface Surf1 being parallel to each other and Surf2 And coupling-out face Surf-output compositions.In order to ensure to couple the direction in space of input light and couple output light Direction in space is identical, and each parameter of display system need to meet some requirements, as follows:
β-145°=45°
Wherein, β-145°For coupling-in face Surf-input and the angle of substrate lower surface Surf2.
β-245°=45°
Wherein, β-245°For coupling-out face Surf-output and the angle of substrate top surface Surf1.
After substrate is entered from the light beam 20 of the same object point of display light source, through the anti-of coupling-in face Surf-input Penetrate, make light 20 and the angle of substrate top surface normal be more than the cirtical angle of total reflection, so as to continue to pass without loss in the substrate It is defeated.Light beam is in the substrate through being transferred to up to coupling-out face Surf-output, through the reflection of coupling-out face, a part of Light reflects substrate according to the requirement of optical design and forms imaging beam 21, and a part of light reflects optical waveguide substrates and formed Imaging beam 22.Although light beam 21 and light beam 22 are by producing after the light beam Jing catadioptrics of same object point, pass through The reflection of output face, the direction in space of light beam 21 and 22 occur in symmetrical fashion, become the light that two, space object point sends, Cause the appearance of ghost, affect the definition of original image.Furthermore in order to expand observation visual field, need the thickness by increasing substrate Spend H-45 to realize, the overall weight for causing display system is increased by this, is needed for this using new visual field expansion structure mode To mitigate the weight of system.
Fig. 3 is that the slab guide substrate of slab guide binocular optical display device of the present invention with sawtooth sandwich shows It is intended to.In order that image information can be exported in set position, it is necessary to borrow corresponding optical waveguide substrates to realize the biography of light wave Broadcast.As shown in figure 3, the slab guide substrate with sawtooth sandwich is divided into two parts of part1 and part2.Wherein part1 Part is made up of two upper and lower surfaces 30 and 31 being parallel to each other and protrusion broached-tooth design 32, and two surfaces being parallel to each other are main The outgoing position for showing is needed for making light wave be transferred to without loss.Part2 parts are by two upper and lower surfaces being parallel to each other 33 and 34 and depression broached-tooth design 35 constitute.For the ease of the bonding of part1 and part2 broached-tooth designs, nested shape is employed Shape, so as to avoid the difficulty of gluing.For two surface up and down of slab guide substrate, its roughness, the depth of parallelism and plane Degree etc. aspect must be fulfilled for basic optical processing requirement, otherwise can due to light in the substrate cannot according to direct reflection wanting Transmission is asked, causes the resolution angle of angle more than human eye after output substrate of the light beam from same object point, so that Occur ghost image when human eye is directly observed, reduce the definition and contrast of image.Furthermore broached-tooth design is in the output of light Play a key effect, minute surface requirement must is fulfilled for its processing, so just can guarantee that the definition of image will not be reduced.
Fig. 4 is that the broached-tooth design of slab guide binocular optical display device of the present invention with sawtooth sandwich is illustrated Figure.In the present invention, the extension of the image level angle of visual field and the coupling of image export quantity and saw mainly by means of broached-tooth design The direct reflection principle of toothing is realizing.As shown in figure 4, broached-tooth design is the ultraphotic slideway being mutually inclined by two Mirror-b and Mirror-s compositions, inclined-plane Mirror-s mainly completes the change of opticpath makes which be coupled out waveguide, Mirror-b mainly make light according to original path continue propagate, in order to avoid due between Mirror-b and Mirror-s away from And the diffraction effect that cause too small from Length, the length of usual Length should be greater than a wavelength, otherwise due to diffraction effect Presence the definition for causing original image is reduced.In order to realize light propagation path deflection and original path after Continuous, in figure, each parameters relationship should be:
Length = sin(β-c1)/h + sin(β-c2)/h
Wherein β-c1And β-c2The angle of respectively inclined-plane Mirror-s and Mirror-b and horizontal plane, height of the h for sawtooth Degree.Due to β-c1And β-c2Presence, the height h of sawtooth should not be excessive, otherwise will cause inclined-plane Mirror-s and Mirror-b Boundary cannot form the angle of needs, the final requirement for affecting optical design.
For the extension at horizontal field of view angle, mainly by means of broached-tooth design quantity realizing, its basic process is:Due to The appearance of extended field of view structure, can make light line reflection be become the reflection of multiple reflectings surface by single reflecting surface, so will increase The area of optics emergent pupil, by the area for increasing emergent pupil, it is possible to achieve the increase of range of observation.In order to realize horizontal field of view The extension at angle, for the roughness of broached-tooth design inclined plane has strict requirements, that is, has to comply with corresponding minute surface requirement, together When broached-tooth design inclination angle precision have to comply with the requirement of design, ghost will otherwise occurs.
Fig. 5 is the spin coating schematic diagram of slab guide binocular optical display device of the present invention with sawtooth sandwich.For The broached-tooth design is enable to change the transmission path of light in slab guide substrate and output light can be allow uniformly to cover Substrate surface, needs using beam-splitting structure and has the film layer of certain refractive index to realize in broached-tooth design outer surface spin coating. As the broached-tooth design of slab guide substrate is made up of two mutually nested sawtooth, therefore only need in slab guide substrate In non-serrated portion according to design need the corresponding film of spin coating.By the film layer of the certain refractive index of spin coating, can make Light realizes dividing equally for energy during being transferred to tooth-shape structure in the substrate, so can ensure that uniform point of output light Match somebody with somebody.As reflection due to sawtooth with substrate to light is required, therefore device so can will be made with the film layer of the same refractive index of spin coating Processing be more convenient it is feasible.Slab guide substrate is formed using PMMA materials processings in addition, must be examined when film layer is deposited with Consider the impact that heating is brought in itself to material, therefore traditional thermal evaporation coating process should not be adopted to be deposited with, need using cold The mode of plating is carried out.Emerging ion plating technique can solve this problem well.Although the film layer that ion plating is processed is not As thermal evaporation when it is firm, but due to film layer be located at material between, firmness will not be affected by the ambient.
Fig. 6 is that the light of slab guide binocular optical display device of the present invention with sawtooth sandwich propagates signal Figure.Light 60 from image display light source object point, is entered through the reflection of coupling-in face vertically into coupling-in face To in slab guide substrate, collide with beam-splitting structure Split-Beam first, light now occurs catadioptric, 50% light 62 Original route propagation is pressed in continuation, and 50% light is reflected to form light 61, light and so on beam splitting so that energy reaches respectively State.After colliding with broached-tooth design inclined-plane, as broached-tooth design inclined-plane has the film layer of certain reflectance, from light There is catadioptric in the beam splitting light 63 in 61 directions at serrated face, make part energy be coupled out substrate first.Residual ray Continue to propagate according to original route;Light beam 64 from 62 direction of light is subsequently gone out substrate by sawtooth slant reflection.Due to light 63 It is respectively 50% with 64 energy for carrying, will so makes the distribution of energy by original independent 50% distribution, be divided into 25%, and divide The position of cloth is also different from original, energy will so evenly distributed in coupling-out face, is so made from same repeatedly Propagated of the light of object point according to above-mentioned design, realizes that image information moves to another position from a position.It is logical The coupling output of broached-tooth design is crossed, remaining light 65 and 66 may proceed to transmit in optical waveguide substrates.In order to eliminate these light Impact to observing image slices matter, can eliminate these shadows in the certain material of the left side spin coating of optical waveguide substrates such as delustring paint Ring.
Fig. 7 is that the symmetrical coupled of slab guide binocular optical display device of the present invention with sawtooth sandwich is illustrated Figure.In order that optics can be applied to Binocular displays, it is necessary to consider that the topology layout of device.As shown in fig. 7, employing The structure of symmetrical coupled employs two completely identical in structure devices realizing Binocular displays, and symmetrical carrying out is binded.Its Groundwork process is:From the light propagation in respective slab guide substrate respectively of display light source 70 and 71, respective Broached-tooth design 72 and 73 at be coupled out respective substrate, enter in the visual field 75 of observer.Two symmetrical structures exist Gluing is carried out using ultraviolet glue at 74 positions.The Binocular displays optics of this structure, as a result of two display light sources, So that the structure of entirety is heavier, it is unfavorable for that wearing shows.
Fig. 8 is that the unidirectional couplings of slab guide binocular optical display device of the present invention with sawtooth sandwich are illustrated Figure.As shown in figure 8, employing the structure of the Binocular displays of single display light source, two broached-tooth designs therein are employed once Molding, its groundwork process is:Light from display light source 80 is propagated in slab guide substrate 81, is arrived first at The broached-tooth design on the right side, now the light of part be coupled outside place's substrate, and another part light then continues to carry out in the substrate Transmission, and then the broached-tooth design on the left side is reached, then it is coupled out substrate, the light being so coupled out via left and right broached-tooth design To have respectively entered in the visual field 82 of observer.As light has had major part to be coupled out lining at the broached-tooth design on the right side Bottom, therefore reach the light meeting at second broached-tooth design seldom, the light being so coupled out by second broached-tooth design will Less so that the brightness of two images being visually observed is different, the sensation of discomfort is brought to observer.
Fig. 9 is that central authorities' coupling of slab guide binocular optical display device of the present invention with sawtooth sandwich is illustrated Figure.In order that the brightness uniformity of left images, Fig. 9 employs new Binocular displays structure, that is, employs two structure identicals Device so as to which coupling-in face symmetrically get up by gluing, display light source are located at the central authorities of symmetrical structure, its groundwork process For:The light that display light source 90 sends is entered in glued construction after the collimation of collimating lens 91, through coupling-in face 92 and 93 reflection, makes collimated ray be transferred at corresponding broached-tooth design, then by coupling in respective optical waveguide substrates respectively Output is closed to outside substrate, is entered in the visual field 94 of people.Can be due to when gluing is carried out in view of two structure identical devices The refractive index of ultraviolet glue mismatches the problem brought with the refractive index of material, it is therefore desirable to carry out glue using appropriate optical glue Close, generally from the ultraviolet glue matched with Refractive Index of Material.
Figure 10 is that the structural parameters of slab guide binocular optical display device of the present invention with sawtooth sandwich are illustrated Figure.In order to realize effect of the present invention, when optical design is carried out, the structural parameters of the structural parameters and sawtooth of substrate it Between should meet some requirements, otherwise the resolution, contrast and the definition that cause final image can all be reduced, not reached Expected effect.As shown in Figure 10, the axial principal ray for being sent with object point on axle is designed as reference ray, each parameter it is corresponding Relation is:
β-sur2= 2*β-sur1
