First embodiment
Referring to fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of an optical imaging module 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown, in which the optical imaging module 100 sequentially includes, from an imaging surface to an object side along an optical axis: the lens comprises a first lens L1, a second lens L2, a third lens L3 and a display screen D. The object side surface of the first lens L1 is coated with a polarization beam splitting film, and the image side surface of the third lens L3 is coated with a semi-transparent and semi-reflective film.
The object-side surface of the third lens element L3 is convex at a paraxial region, and the object-side surface of the third lens element L3 has at least one inflection point, specifically two inflection points in this embodiment.
The relevant parameters of each lens of the optical imaging module of the present embodiment are shown in table 1.

Referring to fig. 2, the imaging optical path is illustrated, in fig. 2, F1, F2, and F3 are object points with different heights on the display screen D, and correspond to different viewing angles at the exit pupil. The object point of F3 corresponds to the edge light-emitting point of the optical imaging module, and since the clear aperture of the optical imaging module is smaller than the size of the display screen, the light emitted from F3 will be incident on the object-side surface of the third lens L3 at a certain inclination angle and refracted again. Taking F1 field of view as an example, a light ray emitted from the display screen D passes through the object-side surface of the third lens L3, which is a high-order aspheric surface type to collect incident light at various angles, then passes through the image-side surface of the third lens L3, where 50% of the light ray is transmitted and continues to participate in imaging, passes through the second lens L2, then is reflected by the polarization splitting film at the object-side surface of the first lens L1, passes through the second lens L2 again, is reflected when entering the image-side surface of the third lens L3 (again, there is a 50% reflection effect), and then passes through the second lens L2 and the first lens L1 in sequence to enter human eyes, so as to form a magnified virtual image effect.
In this embodiment, the object-side surface of the third lens L3 has a relatively large curvature, so that a relatively large angle of light emitted from the large field point F3 can be coupled into the folded cavity of the lens group to realize imaging, and the total clear aperture of the first lens L1, the second lens L2, and the third lens L3 can be effectively reduced.
In this embodiment, the imaging definition sampling of the field points F1, F2, and F3 uses the spatial frequency of 21 log lines/mm of the pixels of the display screen as the cutoff frequency, and the optical transfer function at the position of the design result meets the requirement of human eye resolution definition, and the specific spatial curve is shown in fig. 3. In fig. 3, the F1 field of view corresponds to a half field angle of 0 °, the F2 field of view corresponds to a half field angle of 22 °, and the F3 field of view corresponds to a half field angle of 47 °.
