Description
The invention relates to the technical field of optics, in particular to an eyepiece optical system for near-eye display and a head-mounted display device.
The head-mounted display device guides video image light emitted by a miniature image display (such as a transmission type or reflection type liquid crystal display screen, an organic electroluminescent device and a DMD device) to pupils of a user through an optical technology, realizes virtual and enlarged images in the near-eye range of the user, provides visual and visible images, videos and character information for the user, and can be applied to scenes such as outdoor scenes, simulated driving scenes, training scenes, demonstration scenes, teaching scenes, training scenes, medical scenes, flying scenes and the like.
The eyepiece optical system is the core of the head-mounted display device, and realizes the function of displaying a miniature image in front of human eyes to form a virtual magnified image. The design of the eyepiece optical system directly influences the volume, the visual experience and other key factors of the head-mounted display device. In particular, for an optical system applied to an optical non-see-through head-mounted display device, it is required to achieve a large field of view as much as possible in the case of a small size, and to have a high optical resolution so that it can see a sufficient amount of picture details, while facilitating a long-time viewing without causing visual fatigue. However, in the related art of the existing head mounted display device that has been disclosed so far, no optical system suitable for the optical non-see-through head mounted display device has been found.
The patent US7180675B2 discloses an optical system of a viewfinder, which is composed of a positive set of optical elements and a negative set of optical elements and a catadioptric device, and the eyepiece system only realizes the display effect of an angle of view of about 18 degrees, and has serious chromatic aberration, and the chromatic aberration of C-line and F-line is larger than 0.5mm, so that the optical display effect of higher resolution cannot be realized, and the eyepiece system cannot be applied to an optical non-perspective head-mounted display device.
Patent US8531774B2 discloses an optical system of a viewfinder, which is composed of two positive lenses, one negative lens and a reflection unit, and the positive and negative lenses are placed between the eyes of an observer and the reflection unit, and the optical system can realize a 26 ° field angle, but has a short exit pupil position (<11mm) and a large size in the viewing line direction. If the optical non-perspective head-mounted display device is applied, comfortable wearing requirements of products cannot be met, optical astigmatic aberration residues are large, high-resolution optical effects are difficult to achieve due to the image quality of the edge field, and long-time comfortable visual experience is not facilitated.
