Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a display module 200 and an optical waveguide module 100 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The light waveguide module 100 has an input area and an output area, the display module 200 can emit light toward the input area of the light waveguide module 100, the input area couples the light into the light waveguide, so that the light is transmitted to the output area in the light waveguide, and the output area couples and outputs the light to the human eye 300. Therefore, the human eye 300 can receive the virtual information generated by the display module 200 facing the input area of the optical waveguide module 100, in other words, due to the arrangement of the optical waveguide module 100, the display module 200 does not need to be in front of the line of sight of the human eye 300, and the virtual information generated by the display module 200 can be received by the human eye 300 and further fused with the real information in front of the line of sight of the human eye 300 to form the AR image. Therefore, the optical waveguide module 100 can be assembled with the display module 200 to form an electronic device (not shown) using AR display technology, wherein the electronic device includes, but is not limited to, AR glasses, and mobile AR devices such as smart phones and tablet computers having AR display functions.
It can be understood that, in the present application, the virtual information generated by the display module 200 may be understood as image information generated by the display module 200, the light carrying the image information is transmitted by the optical waveguide module 100 to form an image projected to the human eye 300, the real information may be understood as a real environment image in front of the line of sight of the human eye 300, and after the environment light is projected to the human eye 300, the real environment image and the virtual image are fused to form an AR image.
In addition, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the display module 200 includes a display 210 and an optical element 220, and the light emitted from the display 210 is adjusted by the optical element 220 and then emitted toward the optical waveguide module 100. In other embodiments, the display module 200 may be disposed in other ways as long as the light carrying the virtual image information can be projected to the input area of the optical waveguide module 100.
Specifically, in some embodiments, the optical waveguide module 100 includes a first optical waveguide 110 and a second optical waveguide 120, the first optical waveguide 110 has a first input region 111 and a first output region 112 spaced apart from each other, the second optical waveguide 120 has a second input region 121 and a second output region 122, the first input region 111 is opposite to the second input region 121, and the first output region 112 is opposite to the second output region 122. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the display module 200 is disposed on a side of the second optical waveguide 120 departing from the first optical waveguide 110, and light emitted by the display module 200 enters the optical waveguide module 100 from a surface of the second optical waveguide 120 departing from the first optical waveguide 110, and then the surface of the second optical waveguide 120 departing from the first optical waveguide 110 can be regarded as the light incident surface 123 of the optical waveguide module 100. It is understood that the regions of the light incident surface 123 opposite to the first input region 111 and the second input region 121 can be regarded as the input regions of the optical waveguide module 100, and the regions of the light incident surface 123 opposite to the first output region 112 and the second output region 122 can be regarded as the output regions of the optical waveguide module 100.
Further, the light emitted from the display module 200 includes a first primary color light 230, a second primary color light 240, and a third primary color light 250, wherein the wavelength ranges of the first primary color light 230, the third primary color light 250, and the second primary color light 240 decrease in sequence. When the light emitted from the display module 200 enters the light waveguide module 100 from the input region, the first input region 111 can couple the first primary color light 230 and the second primary color light 240 into the first light waveguide 110, and the second input region 121 can couple the third primary color light 250 out of the second light waveguide 120. After being guided by the first light guide 110 and the second light guide 120, the first primary color light 230 and the second primary color light 240 are coupled and output in the first output region 112, and the third primary color light 250 is coupled and output in the second output region 122, so that the light of three bands is output in the output region of the light guide module 100 and transmitted to the human eye 300 to form a virtual information image.
It should be noted that the first primary color light 230, the second primary color light 240, and the third primary color light 250 do not refer to three lights with a single wavelength, but should be understood as three lights with different color bands, and the wavelength ranges of the three lights do not overlap. For example, in some embodiments, the first primary color light 230 may be red band light, the second primary color light 240 may be blue band light, and the third primary color light 250 may be green band light. Of course, the three lights may be three lights of other three primary color systems as long as the requirement of image display can be satisfied. In addition, the three lights can be full-wave band lights of three primary color wave bands, and can also be lights of any partial continuous wavelength range in the three primary color wave bands. For example, in some embodiments, the wavelength range of the red band light is between 622nm and 760nm, and the wavelength range of the first primary color light 230 may be between 622nm and 760nm, or any partially continuous wavelength range between 622nm and 760 nm. Of course, the wavelength range of each primary color band light may have other settings, and the wavelength ranges of the first primary color light 230, the second primary color light 240, and the third primary color light 250 may also have other values, which may be specifically selected according to the image display requirements as long as a virtual image can be formed.
It will be appreciated that in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the optical path of first primary light ray 230 schematically shows only the optical path of a portion of light rays in first primary light ray 230, and that in other embodiments, other wavelengths of light rays in first primary light ray 230 may also travel along other paths within first optical waveguide 110. And the light is inputted from the first input region 111 and outputted from the second output region 122, and the light is not accidentally outputted from the first input region 111 directly to the first output region 112 along the first optical waveguide 110, in other embodiments, the light with partial wavelength in the first primary color light 230 can be outputted to the first output region 112 after being inputted to the first optical waveguide 110 along the first optical waveguide 110 and after being repeatedly outputted along the first optical waveguide 110.
In the optical waveguide module 100, one optical waveguide is used for transmitting light of two wavelength bands, and the other optical waveguide is used for transmitting light of one wavelength band. Therefore, only two optical waveguides are arranged to transmit light in three wave bands to meet the requirement of image display, so that the thickness of the optical waveguide module 100 can be reduced, and when the optical waveguide module 100 is applied to electronic equipment, the miniaturization design of the electronic equipment is facilitated.
Further, the third primary color light 250 with the wavelength range between the first primary color light 230 and the second primary color light 240 is separately transmitted through the second light waveguide 120, and the first primary color light 230 with the larger wavelength range difference and the second primary color light 240 are transmitted through the first light waveguide 110 together, so that light mixing is not easy to occur, the condition that light mixing occurs when two light rays with the similar wavelength ranges are transmitted through one light waveguide can be avoided, and the image output by the light waveguide module 100 has good imaging quality.
In addition, the light of three wave bands is transmitted through the two optical waveguides, the overall thickness size of the optical waveguide module 100 is reduced, and the total path length of the whole light of the three wave bands transmitted in the optical waveguide module 100 can be reduced, so that the conditions of light dispersion, light mixing and the like are reduced, the imaging quality of the light of the edge field of view is improved, the generation of stray light of the edge field of view is reduced, and more light of the edge field of view can participate in imaging. In other words, during imaging, a larger aperture can be used to make more light rays participate in imaging in the peripheral field of view, thereby achieving the effect of enlarging the field angle of the optical waveguide module 100. Specifically, in some embodiments, the overall thickness dimension of the optical waveguide module 100 is less than 3mm, and the maximum field angle of the optical waveguide module 100 is greater than 50 °.
Further, in some embodiments, the light coupling-in of the optical waveguide module 100 is realized by a holographic grating. Specifically, in some embodiments, the optical waveguide module 100 includes a red holographic grating 130, a blue holographic grating 140 and a green holographic grating 150, wherein the red holographic grating 130 and the blue holographic grating 140 are stacked on a side of the first optical waveguide 110 away from the light incident surface 123, so as to form the first input region 111 on the side of the first optical waveguide 110 away from the light incident surface 123. The green holographic grating 150 is disposed on a side of the second light waveguide 120 away from the light incident surface 123, and is located between the first light waveguide 110 and the second light waveguide 120, so as to form a second input region 121 on a side of the second light waveguide 120 away from the light incident surface 123.
It can be understood that, when the light reaches the green holographic grating 150 through the light incident surface 123, the light 250 of the third primary color is diffracted in the green holographic grating 150 and then input into the second light waveguide 120. After passing through the green hologram grating 150, the first primary color light 230 and the second primary color light 240 respectively generate optical phenomena such as diffraction in the red hologram grating 130 and the blue hologram grating 140, and then are input into the first optical waveguide 110.
In the present application, a holographic grating of a certain primary color is described, and it is understood that after an incident light enters the holographic grating, the light of the primary color in the incident light can be coupled by the holographic grating and emitted from an incident surface. Of course, the holographic grating of a primary color does not mean that light of other primary colors cannot be coupled into the optical waveguide by the holographic grating, for example, the light coupled into the second optical waveguide 120 by the green holographic grating 150 may include part of the light 230 of the first primary color as long as normal imaging is not affected.
Further, in some embodiments, the red holographic grating 130 is disposed on a side of the blue holographic grating 140 away from the light incident surface 123. The wavelength range of the first primary color light 230 is greater than the wavelength range of the second primary color light 240, that is, the first primary color light 230 can more easily transmit the blue holographic grating 140, in other words, the light loss when the first primary color light 230 transmits the blue holographic grating 140 is smaller than the light loss when the second primary color light 240 transmits the red holographic grating 130. Therefore, compared with the situation that the blue holographic grating 140 is arranged on the side, away from the light incident surface 123, of the red holographic grating 130, the loss of light rays when the holographic grating is transmitted can be reduced, and the imaging quality of the optical waveguide module 100 is improved.
Certainly, the first input region 111 and the second input region 121 may also be disposed in other ways, for example, in other embodiments, the first input region 111 is formed on the surface of the first optical waveguide 110 facing the second optical waveguide 120, and the second input region 121 is formed on the surface of the second optical waveguide 120 facing away from the first optical waveguide 110, so that other types of gratings need to be used to implement the coupling input of the light, which is not described herein again.
In addition, the light out-coupling in the optical waveguide module 100 can also be realized by a holographic grating, specifically, in some embodiments, the optical waveguide module 100 further includes another set of red holographic grating 130, blue holographic grating 140, and green holographic grating 150. The red holographic grating 130 and the blue holographic grating 140 are stacked on one side of the first optical waveguide 110 away from the light incident surface 123 of the optical waveguide module 100 to form a first output region 112, and the green holographic grating 150 is disposed on one side of the second optical waveguide 120 away from the light incident surface 123 of the optical waveguide module 100 to form a second output region 122.
Further, referring to fig. 1 and 2 together, fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of providing the second transmission grating 160 in some embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the optical waveguide module 100 further includes a first transmission grating (not shown) disposed in the first optical waveguide 110 and located on the propagation path of the light in the first optical waveguide 110, and a second transmission grating 160 disposed in the second optical waveguide 120 and located on the propagation path of the light in the second optical waveguide 120.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, only a schematic diagram of disposing the second transmission grating 160 in the second optical waveguide 120 is shown, and the manner of disposing the first transmission grating in the first optical waveguide 110 may be the same as that of disposing the second transmission grating 160. In addition, the number of the second transmission gratings 160 is not limited, and in some embodiments, the second transmission grating 160 is provided in plurality, and the plurality of transmission gratings are sequentially disposed in the second optical waveguide 120 at intervals. The second transmission grating 160 is located in the propagation path of the light in the second optical waveguide 120, and it can be understood that most of the light 250 of the third primary color transmitted through the second optical waveguide 120 passes through the second transmission grating 160. Further, in some embodiments, the second transmission grating 160 is located in the middle of the second optical waveguide 120, in other words, the second transmission grating 160 is parallel to the light incident surface 123, and distances from the second transmission grating 160 to the light incident surface 123 and a surface of the second optical waveguide 120 opposite to the light incident surface 123 are equal.
Referring to fig. 1, it can be understood that, when the second transmission grating 160 is not provided in the second optical waveguide 120, the light inputted into the second optical waveguide 120 through the green hologram grating 150 reaches the second output region 122 after being totally reflected a plurality of times on the surface of the second optical waveguide 120. Referring to fig. 2, after the second light guide 120 is provided with the second transmission grating 160, the third primary color light 250 is input into the second light guide 120 through the second input region 121, the third primary color light 250 reaching the second transmission grating 160 will be diffracted for a distance in the second transmission grating 160 and then emitted, and then enters the next second transmission grating 160 after being totally reflected on the surface of the second light guide 120. The third primary color light rays 250 are shorter in the second optical waveguide 120 conducting path than in the case where the second transmission grating 160 is not provided. Therefore, the second transmission grating 160 can reduce the transmission path of the third primary color light 250 in the second optical waveguide 120, thereby reducing the dispersion phenomenon of the third primary color light 250 in the transmission process, reducing the loss of the imaging light, improving the light transmission efficiency, and further improving the imaging quality of the optical waveguide module 100. The effect of the first transmission grating in the first optical waveguide 110 can be derived from the effect of the second transmission grating 160, and will not be described herein.
Of course, the specific arrangement of the transmission grating is not limited as long as the conducting path of the light can be reduced, for example, as shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3, fig. 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of the second transmission grating 160 in some embodiments of the present application, in some embodiments, the second transmission grating 160 includes a transparent substrate 161, the shape of the transparent substrate 161 may be substantially rectangular parallelepiped, and the extending direction of the transparent substrate 161 is parallel to the light incident surface 123, in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the surface a may be regarded as a surface of the second transmission grating 160 away from the light incident surface 123. The two opposite surfaces of the transparent substrate 161 are provided with a plurality of diffraction marks 162 parallel to each other, a diffraction slit 163 is formed between every two diffraction marks 162, and the light 250 of the third primary color reaching the second transmission grating 160 can be diffracted in the diffraction slit 163 and transmitted for a certain distance in the second transmission grating 160.
Further, it can be understood that the thickness of the transparent substrate 161 in the second transmission grating 160 and the distance between every two diffraction traces 162 can affect the diffraction effect of light rays with different wavelength bands in the second transmission grating 160. Therefore, in some embodiments, by designing the thickness of the light-transmitting substrate 161 and the distance between two diffraction marks 162, the diffraction slits 163 of the second transmission grating 160 are adapted to the green band light, in other words, the third-primary-color light 250 is diffracted well in the second transmission grating 160, so that the second transmission grating 160 can better reduce the conduction path of the third-primary-color light 250 in the second light waveguide 120. Of course, the diffraction slits 163 of the first transmission grating can be adapted to the red band light and the blue band light, so that the first transmission grating can better reduce the conduction paths of the first primary color light 230 and the second primary color light 240 in the first optical waveguide 110.
The technical features of the embodiments described above may be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are not described, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.
The above-mentioned embodiments only express several embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is more specific and detailed, but not construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the inventive concept, which falls within the scope of the present invention.
