Arranging a polarization beam splitter prism 102 on a transmission path of a first light beam, wherein the polarization beam splitter prism 102 has a function of selecting the polarization direction of an incident light beam, can transmit a P polarization light beam meeting a preset polarization direction, and simultaneously reflects a light beam which is not parallel to the polarization direction of the P polarization light beam; or, the light beam which is not parallel to the polarization direction of the S-polarized light beam is reflected while the S-polarized light beam which satisfies the preset polarization direction is transmitted, wherein the polarization direction of the P-polarized light beam is orthogonal to the polarization direction of the S-polarized light beam. When the self-luminous image source 101 emits a first light beam, the polarization beam splitter prism 102 selectively forms the first light beam into a first polarized light beam, and the first polarized light beam includes a P-polarized light beam or an S-polarized light beam. Specifically, for example, the near-eye display system 100 includes a first phase retarder 103, the first polarized light beam is a P-polarized light beam, the first phase retarder 103 is a quarter-wave plate, and the first reflective element 104 is a mirror with a collimating effect, the first phase retarder 103 and the first reflective element 104 are sequentially disposed on a propagation path of the first polarized light beam, and the first polarized light beam passes through the first phase retarder 103, is reflected and collimated by the first reflective element 104, and then passes through the first phase retarder 103 to form a second polarized light beam. Because the first polarized light beam passes through the first phase retarder 103 twice, the emergent second polarized light beam has a certain phase difference relative to the incident first polarized light beam, at this time, the polarization direction of the second polarized light beam and the polarization direction of the first polarized light beam satisfy the orthogonality, and the second polarized light beam satisfies the S polarized light beam. Meanwhile, the polarization beam splitter prism 102 is located on the propagation path of the second polarized light beam, and when the polarization direction of the second polarized light beam and the polarization direction of the first polarized light beam meet the condition of being orthogonal, the polarization beam splitter prism 102 reflects the second polarized light beam and emits the second polarized light beam, which can be emitted to the eyes of a user, so that a clear image can be displayed on the retinas of the eyes of the user.

Meanwhile, the polarization beam splitter prism 102 is located on the propagation path of the third polarized light beam, and when the polarization direction of the third polarized light beam is parallel to the polarization direction of the first polarized light beam, the polarization beam splitter prism 102 reflects the third polarized light beam and emits the third polarized light beam, which can be emitted to the eyes of the user, so that a clear image is formed on the retinas of the eyes of the user. The first light beam can be adjusted by folding the light path twice, so that the size of the near-to-eye display system 100 can be further reduced, and the display effect can be realized.

Meanwhile, the polarization beam splitter prism 102 is located on the propagation path of the third polarized light beam, and when the polarization direction of the third polarized light beam is parallel to the polarization direction of the first polarized light beam, the polarization beam splitter prism 102 reflects the third polarized light beam and emits the third polarized light beam, which can be emitted to the eyes of the user, so that a clear image is formed on the retinas of the eyes of the user.
