Embodiment
The specific works engineering of the present invention is described below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of the light folded waveguide display device of prism-coupled of the present invention, as shown in figure 1, optics of the present invention The system composition of device includes:Display light source 10, collimation lens 11, couple prism 12, light wave coupling input module 13, light wave folding Folded transferring substrate 14, light wave coupling output precision 15, light wave expansion module 16.Collimation lens 11 is by the light from display light source 10 Ripple is collimated, and reaches the requirement of visual optical instrument, and the optical signal after collimation incides the surface of couple prism 12, utilizes rib The principle of mirror image rotation changes the transmission direction of light wave, is incident upon the surface of light wave coupling input module 13, so as to realize by Extraneous optical signal is coupled in substrate, recycles the folded waveguide substrate 14 of special construction and makes light wave in the substrate with total reflection Form carry out lossless transmission and reach light wave coupling output precision 15, destroy light wave in the substrate complete using prismatic reflection face Conditioned reflex, its coupling is output to substrate, reach extension light beam component 16, the light wave of coupling output is deployed, so as to Reach the effect of increase visual field.Effect below for each part of the present invention gives to illustrate accordingly.
Display light source 10 is mainly used in sending the display light wave of image needed for display.It is commonly used aobvious in micro display field Show that light source has LCD, OLED, LCOS etc..Different Display Techniques corresponds to different requirements, in order in volume to system Overall structure optimize, while it is also contemplated that the uniformity of light source each point brightness, generally select that volume is suitable, brightness uniformity Display light source of the light source as micro display system, such as Lcos.But due to the resolution ratio of the LCD currently used for micro display system It is limited, in order to improve the resolution ratio of image, it may be considered that cost-effective LCOS.LCOS is far above LCD in the efficiency of light energy utilization, For the higher occasion generally use LCOS of display brightness.The polarization state for the light wave launched due to different display systems is not Together, in order to meet the requirement of optical design, generally biasing mating plate before source is shown in aobvious light, for changing the light from display system The polarization state of ripple.
Collimation lens 11 is used to collimate the light wave that display light source is sent.In micro display system, human eye is as most Whole image information receiver to the light wave from image, it is necessary to be collimated to reach the comfort level and definition of human eye viewing Requirement, for this commonly use lens to display light wave collimate.Due to the presence of the aberration of lens in itself, image is after lens Astigmatism, distortion, curvature of field etc. can occur, need to carry out aberration correction according to application requirement collimation lens for this, to reach most Preferable effect eventually, otherwise can influence the resolution ratio of optical system, decline the display quality of image.Because common spherical mirror exists , it is necessary to which the lens combination for having different materials and radius of curvature forms when correcting aberration, this can make the weight and volume of whole system Increase.Therefore higher occasion is required for overall volume, generally use aspherical mirror completes the correction of aberration, due to rectifying During positive aberration, single aspherical mirror can be achieved, so as to which the overall structure and weight to system bring benefit.
Couple prism 12 is used for the direction of propagation for changing collimated light waves, is traveled to image information separately from a position with this One desired position, substantially reduces light path, so as to reduce the overall structure of system.In order to make the light wave after collimation can To enter in couple prism, it is necessary to consider the angle of visual field of couple prism, otherwise the optical information from picture system will occur Lose, cause the visual field of display light source to be reduced, cause the waste of image display system size, influence display system entirety Physical dimension.
Light wave coupling input module 13 is made up of reflecting surface, for the optical signal coupling from the external world to be input to folding In folded substrate.Due to entering the light in coupling assembly when inciding reflecting surface, incidence angle is likely less than the critical of total reflection Angle.In order to make light wave is as much as possible to be coupled in substrate, the technology of generally use plating Anti-reflective coating inputs to improve coupling The reflectivity of component reflecting surface.Due to reflecting surface directly and air contact, above-mentioned effect is generally realized by plating layer oxide film Fruit, such as pellumina.
Light wave folds the visual field amplification that transferring substrate 14 is mainly used in will be coupled into the light wave in substrate, and in order to protect The lossless of light-wave energy transmission is demonstrate,proved, when the light wave is propagated in the substrate, meets the condition of total reflection.Transmitted due to folding The presence of substrate, image information can be observed at the different direction of observations in the certain expanded- angle of opposite side of substrate, So as to expand the visual field of observer.
Light wave coupling output precision 15 is made up of reflecting surface, is mainly used in coupling the optical signal propagated in the substrate Export substrate.Meet the condition of total reflection when being transmitted in the substrate due to light wave, to make light wave coupling output, it is necessary to light is existed Incidence angle during substrate tip transition is less than the cirtical angle of total reflection, is that this is special in the end of substrate introducing light wave coupling output group Part.So that light, when on the reflecting surface for reaching light wave coupling output precision, incidence angle is less than the cirtical angle of total reflection so as to couple It is output to outside substrate.
Light wave expansion module 16 is made up of prism beam expander unit.For the light of coupling output substrate, due to diverging Visual field that angle is too small when causing directly to observe output image is too small, and the energy for being coupled into receiver is very low, therefore need to introduce exhibition Open component to expand the light wave of coupling output, so as to expand observation visual field, and improve the light wave energy for being coupled into receiver Amount.When expansion module expands to the light wave of coupling output, each prism unit can individually be imaged output optical signal, effect class Like mirror imaging, so as to which overall expand observes visual field.
The job step and exemplary application of the light folded waveguide display device of prism-coupled of the present invention:
Fig. 2 is the light wave expansion module schematic diagram of the light folded waveguide display device of prism-coupled of the present invention.Light as shown in Figure 2 A The vertical coupled output substrate after the reflection of light wave coupling output precision of line 20, and enter the prism beam expander of light wave expansion module Unit.Light beam 20 enters the side surface 22 of arrival prism after prism beam expander, and for extended field of view, light reaches prism side surface 22 Energy should be transmitted all as far as possible afterwards, so as on the one hand avoid due to ghost phenomena caused by the change of the light direction of propagation, On the other hand each surface brightness of extension prism can be made to keep homogeneous.Light 21 is by light wave coupling output as shown in Figure 2 B The reflection rear-inclined coupling output substrate of component, and enter the prism beam expander unit of light wave expansion module.Light beam 21, which enters, to be expanded After prism reach prism side surface 22, in order to extended field of view and avoid reflecting surface to the incident light zone of reflections come ghost image, it is necessary to The side surface of prism unit is specifically handled, makes it that there is passivation to the light for inciding its surface, so that Incident ray can unhinderedly pass through prism unit, so as to be extended to the locus of incident light wave.
Fig. 3 is that the light folded waveguide display device of prism-coupled of the present invention uses light during direct coupling system to illustrate Figure.The light 30,31 sent by spot light Sour impinges perpendicularly on the anti-of light wave coupling input module after being collimated collimated Face is penetrated, enters substrate transport through reflection coupling.The problems such as actual error and technique are considered in optical design, typically puts light source Put near the focal plane of collimation lens.Light wave is coupled in substrate using direct-coupled mode, although in optical system On can reduce the overall dimensions of system, but a series of problems that coupling efficiency is low and veiling glare is brought is direct coupling The ultimate challenge of conjunction mode.When carrying out direct-coupling, it is contemplated that the light wave after collimation may directly enter because reflection angle is excessive Enter substrate, need to be subject to diaphragm Aper on collimation lens for this.After introducing diaphragm the length of optical system increased, And then it have impact on the overall mechanical dimension of system.Need to find a kind of coupled modes of new suitable structure of the present invention for this.
Light schematic diagram when Fig. 4 is using 45o apex angle prism as couple prism.Display light source S1 is located at collimation lens Focal plane.It is made up of because light source can be regarded as countless spot lights, therefore three point A, B, C, wherein A, B point is taken on light source S1 Respectively at the lower edges of light source, C points are located on optical axis Axis.Due to making using 45o apex angle prisms Prism-45 For couple prism, therefore have:
α2s=45o
Wherein α 2s are prism Prism-45 base angle.
Couple prism Prism-45 working face is incided after the collimated collimated of light that point A is sent with α fov angles Sur1, the light that point B is sent are reflected with α in angles in prism working face Sur1, in order to make to be refracted into prism Prism-45 light can all be reflected by prismatic reflection face, it is necessary to consider the prism Prism-45 angle of visual field, otherwise part The energy of light wave will be refracted out reflecting surface.
Because the prism of different materials, the cirtical angle of total reflection are also different.In order to describe the problem, we select prism Prism- 45 material is K9 glass(nd=1.5163), so cirtical angle of total reflection Io=42o of prism.Because
90-α2s > α2s-Io
Therefore prism Prism-45 angle of visual field ω o are
n*sin(α2s-Io)=sinωo
Bringing related data into can obtain:
ωo=5o53‘
Therefore
ωo=αin=αfov=5o53’
Wherein α fov are the angle of visual field above light source S1.α in are the first working face of the incident ray that B points are sent and prism The angle of Sur1 normals.
So when the angle after the collimated collimated of the light that each point is sent on light source S1 with optical axis is less than ω o, this A little light can be totally reflected by the reflecting surface of prism.
Light into prism Prism-45 is coupled out the working face of prism after the total reflection in prismatic reflection face Sur2.Because α 2s are 45o, therefore can obtain
αout=αin=5o53’
Wherein α out are the angle of emergent ray and working face Sur2 normals.
Due to the presence of above-mentioned condition, the uniformity of emergent ray and emergent ray in dimensional orientation is ensure that, so as to protect The integrality of image information is demonstrate,proved.
Light schematic diagram when Fig. 5 is using 60o apex angle prism as couple prism.The couple prism of different angle, its The locus of emergent ray also can be different therewith.If entanglement occurs for the locus of light, it may result in final image and show Occurs ghost image when showing, so as to can not clearly show the image information of needs.As shown in figure 5,60o apex angle prisms Prism-60 base angle 3s meets following condition:
α3s=30o。
Image light source Sour2 is located at the focal point of collimation lens, and its surface spot light M sends two light, collimated Mirror collimation after impinge perpendicularly on prism Prism-60 the first working face S1 surfaces, after occur on the reflecting surface Sref of prism Reflection, meet:
α=αdev1+αcent ①
sin(αdev2)=n*sin(αdev1) ②
α=90o-α3s ③
Wherein α cent are the angle of optical axis and reflecting surface Sref normals in prism Prism-60, and α dev1 are prism Prism-60 In reflection light and interior optical axis angle, α is the angle of incident ray and reflecting surface Sref normals, and α dev2 are emergent ray With the angle of the second working face S2 normals.Bring 1. α 3s=30o into 2. 3. formulas, can obtain:
αcent=30o
αdev1=30o
αdev2=48.59o
The incident light of optical axis is accordingly parallel to after prism Prism-60 reflection, is not emitted parallel to optical axis.This Overall offset is occurred into for the locus for causing light, so as to influence the overall dimensions of coupled system.And enter for deviateing optical axis The light penetrated is possible to not to be emitted by the locus of incidence, and image will be caused integrally to misplace, can not be distinguished final Display image.
Fig. 6 is light schematic diagram when right-angle prism is respectively adopted as couple prism and coupling input module.In order that The light of collimated incident can fully enter couple prism Prism-s1, it is necessary to assure prism Prism-s1 the first working face Height H1 be more than collimation lens diameter, otherwise will influence light-wave energy coupling efficiency.For prism Prism-s1 and Prism-s2, in order to ensure the indeformable of ray space position, for base angle 6in and α ' 6in, generally ensure:
α6in=α'6in。
The light sent by light source surface point light source Q parallel optical axis after the collimation of collimation lens incides prism Prism Prism-s1 the first working face, by the reflection in prismatic reflection face, finally reflect prism Prism-s1 the second work Make face.Because the locus of emergent ray is misplaced, to guarantee to be coupled into prism Prism-s2, prism With respect to Prism-s1 relative displacement should occur for Prism-s2, otherwise deviate the incident light of optical axis and will be unable to enter prism Prism- s2.The generation of relative displacement by influence system lateral dimension L1, cause the size of system integrally to increase.Furthermore due to coupling Light into prism Prism-s2 maintains the locus of incident ray, will be unable in the substrate to meet optical design Light transmission direction is transmitted.
Fig. 7 is light when 45o apex angle prisms and 60o apex angle prisms is respectively adopted as couple prism and coupling input module Line schematic diagram.Wherein couple prism P-45 base angle meets:
α7in=45o
The base angle for coupling input module prism P-60 meets:
α'7in=30o
Incided by the light source surface point light source S light sent after the collimation of collimation lens with the direction parallel to optical axis Second working face of prism P-45 the first working face, then the reflective vertical injection prism P-45 through prismatic reflection face.Outgoing Spatial offset does not occur for light, therefore maintains the spatial information amount of image information.
The light for being coupled out prism P-45 is impinged perpendicularly in prism P-60, and due to α ' 7in=30o, reflection light will deviate from Optical axis, meet waveguide transmission requirement.Incident ray is after the reflection of reflecting surface, its incidence angle
Γ = 30o < I。= 42o
Therefore, part light-wave energy will reflect coupling assembly, and reflection can be improved by the way that corresponding reflectance coating is deposited for this Light-wave energy.During due to using prism P-45 coupling light waves, the locus of incident ray and emergent ray does not misplace, coupling The input face of output face and coupling assembly keeps identical size L2 that efficient coupling can be achieved, and this largely subtracts The small overall dimensions of system.
Fig. 8 is a kind of prism-coupled application example of the light folded waveguide display device of prism-coupled of the present invention.In order to The course of work of device is enough explained, below will be by specific parameter come illustrated example.Wherein
βin=45o
β'in=βout=30o
Wherein β in are couple prism P-E base angles, and β ' in are the angles of coupling input prismatic reflection face and input face, and β out are Couple output prism reflecting surface and the angle of output face.
αsub2=αsub1=15o
Wherein α sub1 are the angles of folded substrate lower surface and horizontal plane, and α sub2 are folded substrate upper surface and horizontal plane Angle.
θe=60o
Wherein θ e are the inclinations angle of prism beam expander unit.In order to realize total reflection of the light wave on prism beam expander surface, θ e can not be too It is small, part light-wave energy otherwise will be caused to spill and expand assembly unit.
With above-mentioned parameter designing optics, the light 80,82 of the same light wave from light source surface point light source P passes through Collimation lens P-N collimation, impinge perpendicularly on couple prism P-E the first working face, after by prismatic reflection face reflective vertical Output prism P-E the second working face, incide the upper surface of light wave coupling input module.Because light 80,82 is by collimating The collimation of lens, it can expeditiously enter coupling input module.Reflection through overcoupling input module reflecting surface, light quilt The angle of light and fold surface normal is big when coupling and be input in folded waveguide substrate, and must assure that propagation in the substrate In the cirtical angle of total reflection, otherwise with light transmission in the substrate because refraction, energy can occur significantly to lose, finally Cause the energy of coupling output substrate too small, reduce the overall brightness of image.The light for being coupled into substrate is final by transmission The reflecting surface of light wave coupling output precision is reached, and then is reflected to the lower surface of coupling output precision.Light now due to It is unsatisfactory for the condition of total reflection, it will be coupled out extending in prism assemblies.Because prism assemblies are to incident ray direction With selective penetrated property, and in the case where keeping radiation direction constant, each prism can be individually imaged, so that light Ripple is uniformly distributed in prism assemblies, is able to extend light and is transmitted.For different applications, the quantity for extending prism assemblies can Accordingly to increase and decrease, but allow for the image of display light source can be fully deployed, otherwise will lose the effect of visual field extension.
