In a preferred embodiment, the angle between the reflection axis of the reflective polarizer 20 and the first retarder 31 is 45 degrees. Specifically, when the included angle between the reflection axis of the reflective polarizer 20 and the first phase retarder 31 is 45 degrees, the polarization state of the first linearly polarized light is changed from linearly polarized light to circularly polarized light after the first linearly polarized light reflected by the reflective polarizer 20 passes through the first phase retarder 31, when the reflection axis of the reflective polarizer 20 and the retardation axis of the first phase retarder 31 are not 45 degrees, the polarization state of the first linearly polarized light is changed from linearly polarized light to elliptically polarized light, the elliptically polarized light is changed into linearly polarized light again when returning to the reflective polarizer 20 after being reflected by the beam splitter, and since the reflection axis of the reflective polarizer 20 and the retardation axis of the first phase retarder 31 are not 45 degrees, the linearly polarized light changed into elliptically polarized light cannot completely transmit through the reflective polarizer 20, there is a portion of the light reflected by the reflective polarizer 20 that eventually tends to return to the mirror array 40 and create ghost images that affect the look and feel of the user.

Referring to fig. 2, in some alternative embodiments, the phase retarder 30 includes a first phase retarder 31 and a second phase retarder 32. Specifically, the first phase retarder 31 is disposed on a side surface of the reflective polarizer 20 close to the display unit 10 and is disposed close to one end of the display unit 10, the second phase retarder 32 is disposed on a side surface of the reflective polarizer 20 close to the display unit 10 and is disposed close to one end of the mirror group 40, and the second surface 42 is disposed with a beam splitter.
The incident light emitted from the display unit 10 passes through the first phase retardation plate 31, is reflected by the reflective polarizer 20, passes through the first phase retardation plate 31 again, is emitted to the mirror group 40, and is reflected by the beam splitter of the mirror group 40, passes through the second phase retardation plate 32, and is emitted from the reflective polarizer 20 to the optical system.
In a preferred embodiment, the angles between the reflection axis of the reflective polarizer 20 and the first phase retarder 31 and the second phase retarder 32 are both 45 degrees. Specifically, the first phase retarder 31 and the second phase retarder 32 are both parallel to the reflective polarizer 20, when an included angle between the reflection axis of the reflective polarizer 20 and the first phase retarder 31 and the second phase retarder 32 is 45 degrees, the polarization state of the first linearly polarized light reflected by the reflective polarizer 20 is changed from linearly polarized light to circularly polarized light after passing through the first phase retarder 31, when the reflection axis of the reflective polarizer 20 and the retardation axis of the first phase retarder 31 are not 45 degrees, the polarization state of the first linearly polarized light is changed from linearly polarized light to elliptically polarized light, and the elliptically polarized light is changed again when passing through the second phase retarder 32 and returning to the reflective polarizer 20 after being reflected by the beam splitter, since the reflection axis of the reflective polarizer 20 and the retardation axis of the first retardation film 31 are not at 45 degrees, the linearly polarized light converted from the elliptically polarized light cannot completely transmit through the reflective polarizer 20, so that there is a part of the light reflected by the reflective polarizer 20, and finally, the light is easy to return to the mirror assembly 40, and a ghost image is formed, which affects the user's appearance.
In a preferred embodiment, the first phase retardation plate 31 and the second phase retardation plate 32 are both 1/4 wave plates. Specifically, the central wavelength of first 1/4 wave plate with incident light's wavelength equals, the central wavelength of second 1/4 wave plate with incident light's wavelength equals, the fast axle or the slow axle of first 1/4 wave plate with incident light's polarization direction's contained angle is 45 degrees, the fast axle or the slow axle of second 1/4 wave plate with incident light's polarization direction's contained angle is 45 degrees, first 1/4 wave plate with second 1/4 wave plate is used for becoming circular polarization light with linear polarization light.

In a specific embodiment, the incident angle and the reflection angle of the incident light emitted by the display unit 10 on the reflective polarizer 20 are both 45 degrees, and the light transmission direction of the first circularly polarized light is the same as the optical axis direction of the mirror group 40, so as to ensure that the first circularly polarized light can be returned to the reflective polarizer 20 along the original opposite direction by the beam splitter when being transmitted to the mirror group 40. When the included angle between the reflective polarizer 20 and the display unit 10 is not 45, the relative positions of the display unit 10, the reflective polarizer 20 and the mirror group 40 need to be precisely adjusted, so that it is ensured that the incident light emitted by the display unit 10 can be transmitted to the mirror group 40 after being reflected by the reflective polarizer 20, and the assembly difficulty of the optical system is increased.
Referring to fig. 1 to fig. 3, in some alternative embodiments, the optical system further includes an extinction element 50, where the extinction element 50 is disposed on a side of the reflective polarizer 20 away from the mirror group 40, specifically, to avoid that the second linearly polarized light is reflected again to be transmitted through the reflective polarizer 20 after passing through the reflective polarizer 20, the extinction element 50 is disposed on a side of the reflective polarizer 20 away from the mirror group 40, and the extinction element 50 is configured to absorb or scatter the second linearly polarized light passing through the reflective polarizer 20, in a preferred embodiment, the extinction element 50 is a black curtain.

Specifically, when the incident light emitted by the display unit 10 is linearly polarized light, in order to ensure that the incident light can eliminate or reduce the influence of ghost after passing through the optical system, the third phase retarder 33 is disposed between the display unit 10 and the first phase retarder 31, and the third phase retarder 33 is used for converting the incident light emitted by the display unit 10 from the linearly polarized light to circularly polarized light or elliptically polarized light, so as to ensure the ghost eliminating effect of the optical system. In a preferred embodiment, an angle between the retardation axis of the third phase retarder 33 and the polarization direction of the incident light is 45 degrees, so that the incident light is converted into circularly polarized light.
In some optional embodiments, the third phase retarder is a third 1/4 wave plate, in specific embodiments, a central wavelength of the third 1/4 wave plate is equal to a wavelength of the incident light, an included angle between a fast axis or a slow axis of the third 1/4 wave plate and a polarization direction of the incident light is 45 degrees, and when the incident light is linearly polarized light, the incident light changes from linearly polarized light to circularly polarized light after passing through the third 1/4 wave plate.
