n 2 sinθ 2min ≥1
W 1 ≤L 1 =2D 2 tanθ 2max the encoded aiming image 601 for the first holographic element 22 may be pre-encoded for storage. Specifically, referring to fig. 6, the mask plate 801 has pattern information to be loaded by the first hologram element 22, which is in accordance with the aiming image 601. Mask 801 is illuminated by light waves 2200, which light waves transmitted through mask 801 are Fourier transformedThe lens 802 forms object light 2202. Meanwhile, another beam of obliquely incident reference light 2201 exists in the space, the object light 2202 and the reference light 2201 meet on the first hologram element 22, and light wave interference occurs at the first hologram element 22, so that an interference field distributed three-dimensionally is formed inside the first hologram element 22. The internal interference field of the first holographic element 22 simultaneously changes the material properties, resulting in a material property distribution similar to the internal interference field distribution of the first holographic element 22, i.e. the spectral information of the mask 801 is recorded. Typical material property changes include refractive index changes, transmittance changes, and the like. The first hologram 22 is a planar structure, and is typically a photosensitive material such as a photopolymer or silver salt. The recording conditions (including the wavelength of the light used, the angular position of the beam and the object) need to be in accordance with the actual requirements of use, which determine the recording conditions.
The holographic exposure can be performed in one of the following two ways for the fourth holographic element 21 and the fifth holographic element 23, which are off-axis lenses. The following description will take the example of producing the fourth hologram element 21. Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 illustrates a dual beam fabrication approach. The fourth hologram 21 and the first hologram 22 are manufactured in a similar manner as the reference light 2101 and the object light 2102, wherein the reference light 2101 is emitted by a point light source 3100, and the recording conditions (including wavelength, beam and object angular position) are consistent with the actual use requirements, which determine the recording conditions. In general, the reference light 2201 and the object light 2102 are preferentially plane waves. Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 shows another fabrication method, a single beam exposure method. By indirectly forming a double beam from a single beam generated by the point source 3100 by means of the parabolic mirror 803, the reference light and the object light are respectively a light wave emitted by the point source 3100 and a collimated plane wave reflected by the parabolic mirror 803 after the emitted light wave has passed through the fourth holographic element 21, the point source 3100 being located at the focal position of the parabolic mirror 803.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 9, the optical system may further include a controller 901, and other portions of the optical system may refer to the above embodiments. The controller 901 is connected to the light source 11 and the display unit 101 to control the light source 11 and the display unit 101 to be turned on and off. The controller 901 may control the light source 11 and the display unit 101 to be turned on and off, respectively. The controller 901 may control the turning on and off of the first subsystem and the second subsystem, respectively, which are independent from each other.
For example, referring to fig. 10, in a first mode, which may be referred to as a "non-enhanced mode", the controller 901 may turn off the display unit 101, turn on the light source 11, and the human eye 501 may see the aiming image 601 and the external scene 603 displayed by the first subsystem, and the aiming image 601 may be superimposed on the external scene 603 to obtain the composite scene S.
For example, referring to fig. 11, in a second mode which may be referred to as an "optical enhancement mode", the controller 901 may turn on the display unit 101, turn on the light source 11, and make the aiming image 601 displayed by the first subsystem, the image to be displayed 602 displayed by the second subsystem, and the external scene 603 visible to the human eye 501, and the aiming image 601 and the image to be displayed 602 may be superimposed on the external scene 603 to obtain a composite scene S. The image to be displayed 602 may display more information for the user, such as time, text information, positioning signal, and other auxiliary content.

Other components of the optical system may refer to the description of the above embodiments. Imager 701 may be an infrared imager or a low-light imager and the optical system may operate in an infrared, low-light night vision environment. The controller 901 processes the image acquired by the imager 701 and transmits the processed image to the display unit 101, and the processed image is displayed by the second subsystem. The imager 701 performs imaging detection on the external scene 603 to obtain an infrared image or a low-light-level image of the external scene 603. The infrared image or the low-light-level image is processed by the controller 901 and output to the display unit 101, and the display unit 101 is driven to display the external video enhanced scene 604 (the infrared image or the low-light-level image processed by the controller 901) or the mixed image 605 of the external video enhanced scene 604 and the image to be displayed 602. The projection optical system 201 enlarges, images and projects an external video enhanced scene 604 or a mixed image 605 to the second holographic element 401, the second holographic element 401 modulates and couples light rays into the first substrate layer 301, the light rays propagate inside the first substrate layer 301 at a transmission angle larger than a total reflection angle, and when the light rays propagate to the third holographic element 402, the third holographic element 402 couples and emits the light rays to the human eye 501. The human eye 501 may see the aiming image 601 through the first subsystem. The first holographic element 22, the first substrate layer 301, and the third holographic element 402 have a high transmittance, so that the external scene 603 can be seen. The human eye 501 can thus see the external scene 603 and the synthetic scene S of the virtual image simultaneously. The second subsystem may display images acquired by the imager 701 as well as other images to be displayed 602.
For example, referring to fig. 13, in a third mode, which may be referred to as "video enhancement mode", the controller 901 may turn on the display unit 101, turn on the light source 11, turn on the imager 701, the display unit 101 has no display information in "optical enhancement mode", and the system is in "video enhancement mode". The human eye 501 can see the aiming image 601 displayed by the first subsystem, the external video enhanced scene 604 and the external scene 603 displayed by the second subsystem, and the aiming image 601 and the external video enhanced scene 604 can be superimposed on the external scene 603 to obtain a composite scene S. Under night vision conditions, the ambient scene 603 is marked in a light color and the enhanced image is marked in a heavy color as the ambient video enhancement scene 604. The controller 901 may perform brightness adjustment on the external video enhanced scene 604 of the display unit 101, and perform pseudo color enhancement processing and parallax conversion on the image captured by the imager 701 to output the image to the display unit 101.
For example, referring to fig. 14, in a fourth mode, which may be referred to as a "hybrid mode", the controller 901 may turn on the display unit 101, turn on the light source 11, turn on the imager 701, the display unit 101 contains display information in the "optical enhancement mode", and the system is in the "hybrid mode". The human eye 501 can see the aiming image 601 displayed by the first subsystem, the mixed image 605 displayed by the second subsystem and the external scene 603, and the aiming image 601 and the mixed image 605 can be superimposed on the external scene 603 to obtain a composite scene S. Under night vision conditions, the ambient scene 603 is marked in a light color and the enhanced image is marked in a heavy color as the ambient video enhancement scene 604. The controller 901 may perform brightness adjustment on the mixed image 605 of the display unit 101, perform information superposition on the external video enhanced scene 604 and the image to be displayed 602 to obtain the mixed image 605, and perform pseudo color enhancement processing and parallax conversion on the image acquired by the imager 701 to output the image to the display unit 101.
The resolution of image details can be increased by performing a pseudo-color enhancement process.
In some embodiments, the controller 901 performs image parallax transformation on the image acquired by the imager 701 so that the image obtained by the receiving surface of the imager 701 coincides with the image obtained by the direct transmission of the ambient light through the hologram element and the basal layer on the retina of the human eye.
The disparity in the positions of the CMOS imaging plane 702 of the imager 701 and the retina 502 of the user's eye 501 causes image shift problems. Referring to fig. 15, for an external scene 603, there are a lateral displacement difference Δ y and a longitudinal displacement difference Δ x between the retina 502 of a human eye 501 and the CMOS imaging plane 702 of the imager 701, and the displacement differences cause the image of the same external scene 603 on the CMOS imaging plane 702 of the imager 701 to be inconsistent with the image on the retina 502 of the human eye 501. The parallax conversion requires conversion according to the image obtained by the CMOS imaging plane 702, the displacement difference, the focal length of the imager 701, and other information to obtain an image on the retina 502 of the human eye 501, and the converted image on the retina 502 of the human eye 501 is used for loading to the display unit 101.
When the maximum opening angle of the external scene 603 to the imager 701 and the user's eye 501 is below 5 degrees, the parallax transformation may be obtained by shifting the pixels as a whole. When the maximum opening angle of the external scene 603 to the imager 701 and the user's eye 501 is 5 degrees, the image obtained by the CMOS imaging plane 702 is transformed into the image on the retina 502 with different translation amounts pixel by pixel, so as to improve the accuracy in the "video enhancement mode" or the "mixed mode". In some cases, the user can only aim at the external video enhanced scene 604 or the mixed image 605 by relying on the external video enhanced scene 604 or the mixed image 605, but the external scene 603 cannot be seen by human eyes, for example, aiming at night with extremely low illumination, so that the enhanced object image and the real object displayed in the external video enhanced scene 604 or the mixed image 605 are required to be overlapped as much as possible.
In some embodiments, the controller 901 turns off the light source 11 and turns on the display unit 101 and the imager 701, and the controller 901 performs:
s11, performing color processing on the image acquired by the imager 701 to obtain a primary pseudo color image;
s22, carrying out binarization inversion operation on the display scene 606 to obtain a binarization image;
s33, multiplying the preliminary pseudo-color image and the binary image to obtain a pseudo-color background 609;
s44, adding the display scene 606 and the pseudo-color background 609 to obtain a final pseudo-color image 610;
the controller 901 transmits the final pseudo-color image to the display unit 101.
The imager 701 captures an external scene 603 in real time, transmits captured data to the controller 901, transmits a display scene 606 to the controller 901, performs mixing processing on the external scene 603 and the display scene 606 to obtain a final pseudo-color image 610, transmits the final pseudo-color image 610 to the display unit 101, the display unit 101 emits light rays, the projection optical system 201 magnifies and images the final pseudo-color image 610 and projects the magnified and imaged light rays onto the second holographic element 401, the second holographic element 401 modulates and couples the light rays into the first substrate layer 301, the light rays propagate inside the first substrate layer 301 at a transmission angle larger than a total reflection angle, and when the light rays propagate to the third holographic element 402, the third holographic element 402 couples and emits the light rays to the human eye 501. The display unit 101 is a color micro display panel to display a pseudo color image.
Referring to fig. 16, the process of mixing the external scene 603 and the display scene 606 in the controller 901 mainly includes the following flow. The pseudo color processing is carried out on an external scene 603 to obtain a primary pseudo color image, meanwhile, the binarization inversion operation is carried out on a display scene 606 to obtain a binarization image, the primary pseudo color image and the binarization image are multiplied to obtain a pseudo color background 609, and further, the display scene 606 and the obtained pseudo color background 609 are added to obtain a final pseudo color image 610. The binarization inverting operation is specifically to reassign a pixel gray level of 1 to a place where the pixel gray level is not 0 in the display scene 606, and to reassign a pixel gray level of 0 to a place where the pixel gray level is 0 in the display scene 606.
By working in different modes, the functions of the optical system can be expanded, the requirements of holographic aiming are expanded, the application scene of holographic aiming is greatly expanded, and the performance of the holographic aiming is improved.
