It should be noted that: like reference numerals and letters denote like items in the following figures, and thus once an item is defined in one figure, no further discussion thereof is necessary in subsequent figures.
According to one aspect of embodiments of the present application, a near-eye display module is provided that may be adapted for application to a head-mounted display device (Head mounted display, HMD), such as a VR head-mounted device. The VR headset may include, for example, VR glasses or VR helmets, which are not specifically limited in this embodiment.
The embodiment of the application provides a near-to-eye display module, as shown in fig. 1, the near-to-eye display module includes first lens 10, second lens 20 and third lens 30 in proper order along same optical axis, the external diameter D1 of first lens 10 the external diameter D2 of second lens 20 and the external diameter D3 of third lens 30 satisfy: d1 is more than D2 and less than D3;
the near-eye display module further comprises a light splitting element 90, a first phase retarder 73 and a polarization reflecting element 72, wherein the light splitting element 90 is positioned on either side of the first lens 10, and the first phase retarder 73 and the polarization reflecting element 72 are positioned between the second lens 20 and the third lens 30; to form an accommodating space at the outer circumferences of the third lens 30 and the first lens 10;
the near-eye display module further comprises an eyeball tracking assembly, the eyeball tracking assembly comprises an illumination device 50 and an imaging device 60, the illumination device 50 is positioned on one side of the periphery of the first lens 10, and the imaging device 60 is positioned on the other side of the periphery of the first lens 10 opposite to the illumination device 50; the light emitted from the illumination device 50 is incident on the human eye 01 after passing through the second lens 20 and the third lens 30, reflected by the human eye 01, and then transmitted through the third lens 30 and the second lens 20 again, and is incident on the imaging device 60.
According to the near-eye display module provided by the embodiment of the application, the eye tracking assembly is introduced into the folded light path structural design, referring to fig. 1, the eye tracking assembly comprises an illumination device 50 and an imaging device 60, light rays emitted by the illumination device 50 penetrate through the second lens 20 and the third lens 30 and then enter the human eye 01, reflected by the human eye 01 and then penetrate through the third lens 30 and the second lens 20 again, and then enter the imaging device 60. The imaging device 60 receives light for capturing an image of the user's eyes. The eyeball position of the user can be obtained through the eyeball tracking assembly, namely, the eyeball position in the human eye 01 can be tracked in real time through the eyeball tracking assembly. This gives the near-eye display module an eye tracking function.
By adding the eyeball tracking component in the near-eye display module, the specific eyeball position of a user can be tracked, and the two effects can be brought: on the one hand, according to the tracked eyeball position, the interpupillary distance of the user can be obtained, so that the near-eye display module can start an accurate interpupillary distance adjusting function, and the near-eye display module can be accurately matched with the interpupillary distance of the user when in use, and discomfort caused by mismatching of the interpupillary distance of the user and worn equipment can be avoided; on the other hand, the rendering of the gaze point (gaze point) can be realized according to the position of the tracked eyeball, namely, the module can capture the gaze angle of the eyeball so as to find the gaze point, and the rendering of some detail aspects can be performed near the gaze point, so that the imaging quality is improved, and the user can obtain good visual experience.
It should be noted that, in the optical display module without eye tracking, if the frame needs to be rendered, the whole frame is generally rendered, which has a high requirement on the hardware of the rendered computer and increases the production cost. In fact, the best way to render a picture is to render near the gaze point of the user's eyes. This is because the image seen near the gaze point is clearer, and the image seen more toward the periphery is more blurred. The method and the device can achieve picture rendering near the gaze point of the eyes of the user.
In the embodiment of the present application, the eye tracking assembly includes an illumination device 50 and an imaging device 60, the illumination device 50 is located at one side of the periphery of the first lens 10, the imaging device 60 is located at the other side of the periphery of the first lens 10 opposite to the illumination device 50, in the design of each lens provided in the embodiment of the present application, by limiting the outer diameter size relationship of each lens, that is, the outer diameter D1 of the first lens 10 < the outer diameter D2 of the second lens 20 < the outer diameter D3 of the third lens 30, so that a containing space can be formed at the outer circumferences of the two lenses at the left and right sides, the introduced eye tracking assembly is arranged in the containing space, so that any size increase is not introduced in the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction of the near-eye display module, so that the module volume is not additionally increased, and by arranging the illumination device 50 and the imaging device 60 in the two sides of the containing space respectively, the angle of the eye tracking assembly relative to the eye tracking module (the illumination device 50 and the imaging device 60) can be effectively reduced, so that the eye tracking accuracy of the eye tracking assembly is improved.
The near-eye display module provided in the embodiment of the present application is a folded light path structure, which includes, in addition to the first lens 10, the second lens 20 and the third lens 30, a light splitting element 90, a first phase retarder 73 and a polarization reflecting element 72, and these optical elements (optical films) can be used to form a folded light path between the lenses, so that light is folded back therein, and the thickness of the whole optical module is reduced. In addition, the number of lenses includes, but is not limited to, the three described above, and the number of lenses may be designed and adjusted according to specific needs.
In the near-eye display module provided in this embodiment of the present application, the light splitting element 90 may be a semi-transmissive semi-reflective film, and the light splitting element 90 may be used for transmitting a part of light and reflecting another part of light. It should be noted that, the reflectivity of the light splitting element 90 may be flexibly adjusted according to specific needs, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
In the near-eye display module provided in the embodiment of the present application, the first phase retarder 73 may be a quarter-wave plate. It should be noted that the first phase retarder 73 may be configured as other phase retarders, such as a half wave plate, as required. The first phase 73 is used to convert linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light or circularly polarized light into linearly polarized light.
In the near-eye display module provided in the embodiment of the present application, the polarizing reflection element 72 may be a polarizing reflection film. The polarizing reflective element 72 is a horizontally linear polarized light reflecting, vertically linear polarized light transmitting polarizing reflector, or any other linear polarized light reflecting at a specific angle and linearly polarized light transmitting at a direction perpendicular to the angle. The first retarder 73 is coupled to the polarizing reflection element 72, and can be used to analyze and transmit light. The polarization reflecting element 72 has a transmission axis, and the transmission axis direction of the polarization reflecting element 72 makes an angle of 45 ° with the fast axis or the slow axis of the first phase retarder 73.
It should be noted that, the arrangement positions of the beam splitter 90, the first retarder 73 and the polarizing reflection element 72 in the folded light path are flexible, but it is necessary to ensure that the first retarder 73 is located between the beam splitter 90 and the polarizing reflection element 72. Optionally, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the light splitting element 90 is disposed on a surface of the second lens 20 adjacent to the first lens 10, and the first retarder 73 is attached to the polarizing reflective element 72 and disposed on a surface of the third lens 30 adjacent to the second lens 20. Such an assembly is relatively simple. The spectroscopic element 90, the first phase retarder 73, and the polarization reflecting element 72 may be not only in a film structure but also may be provided as separate devices in a folded optical path.
As shown in fig. 1, the optical path of the near-eye display module in the embodiment of the application mainly includes two following components:
virtual reality light path: the circularly polarized light is transmitted to the second surface 12 through the first surface 11 of the first lens 10, then passes through the light splitting element 90 of the third surface 21 of the second lens 20, one part of the light is transmitted through the light splitting element 90, the other part of the light is reflected, the light transmitted through the light splitting element 90 sequentially irradiates to the second surface 21 of the second lens 20 and the fourth surface 22 of the second lens 20, then the light transmitted through the fourth surface 22 irradiates to the first phase retarder 73 of the fifth surface 31 of the third lens 30, at this time, the polarization state of the circularly polarized light is changed, the circularly polarized light is converted into linearly polarized light, the linearly polarized light irradiates to the polarized reflecting element 72 again, at this time, the vibration direction of the linearly polarized light is different from the transmission direction of the polarized reflecting element 72, and the reflected light is reflected again through the first phase retarder 73, so that the linearly polarized light is changed into reflected light to sequentially pass through the second lens 20 and the first lens 10, and the circularly polarized light sequentially passes through the first lens 10 and the second lens 20 after the light is reflected again when the light passes through the light again the light reflecting element 90. At this time, the light is circularly polarized light, and after reflection, the rotation direction of the light is changed, and when the light passes through the first retarder 73 again, the light is converted into linearly polarized light again, and at this time, the polarization direction of the linearly polarized light is the same as the transmission direction of the polarizing reflection element 72, and the light passes through the third lens 30, and is imaged at the position of the human eye 01.
Eye tracking light path: the light emitted from the illumination device 50 is transmitted through the second lens 20 and the third lens 30, then is incident on the human eye 01, is reflected by the human eye 01, then is transmitted through the third lens 30 and the second lens 20 again, and is incident on the imaging device 60.
In some examples of the present application, the included angle θ between the line of the highest outer diameter point of the first lens 10 and the highest outer diameter point of the third lens 30 and the direction perpendicular to the optical axis is as follows: θ is less than or equal to 50 °. In this parameter range design, a larger accommodation space can be formed at the outer periphery of the first lens 10 and the third lens 30, so that enough accommodation space is reserved for the illumination device 50 and the imaging device 60 in the eye tracking assembly, and the size of the whole module in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction is not increased.
In the folded optical path provided in this embodiment of the present application, the second lens 20 is located between the first lens 10 and the third lens 30, and a certain space is reserved for arranging the illumination device 50 and the imaging device 60 in the eye tracking assembly on the peripheral side of the first lens 10 due to the need, so as to design the outer diameter D of the third lens 30 3 < outer diameter D of the first lens 10 1 . Meanwhile, in order that the illumination device 50 and the imaging device 60 in the eye tracking assembly are not interfered by the second lens 20, therefore, the outer diameter D of the second lens 20 2 Should be between the outer diameter D of the third lens 30 3 And an outer diameter D of the first lens 10 1 Between, i.e. the outer diameter D of the third lens 30 3 < outer diameter D of the second lens 20 2 < outer diameter D of the first lens 10 1 . It is worth noting that in the embodiment of the present application, the outer diameter D of the first lens 10 1 An outer diameter D of the second lens 20 2 And an outer diameter D of the third lens 30 3 The difference between the two can be flexibly adjusted according to the size requirement of the assembly space without specific numerical limitation.

The illumination device 50 includes an infrared light source 51, which can emit infrared light, and the infrared light is incident on the human eye 01 after passing through the second lens 20 and the third lens 30, reflected by the human eye 01, and then passes through the third lens 30 and the second lens 20 again, and is incident on the imaging device 60.
Optionally, referring to fig. 1, the lighting device 50 further includes a first reflecting structure 52, where the first reflecting structure 52 is located on a light emitting path of the infrared light source 51, and at least part of light emitted by the infrared light source 51 can be reflected into the second lens 20 and the third lens 30 by the first reflecting structure 52; the imaging device 60 further includes a second reflecting structure 62, where the second reflecting structure 62 is located on the light incident path of the infrared imaging device 61, at least part of the light emitted by the infrared light source 51 can be transmitted to the third lens 30 and the second lens 20, and the emitted light is reflected by the second reflecting structure 62 to the infrared imaging device 61. That is, for the eye tracking assembly introduced into the near-eye display module, the first reflecting structure 52 and the second reflecting structure 62 can be correspondingly added in the illumination device 50 and the imaging device 60, the illumination device 50 emits infrared light, the infrared light is incident to the human eye 01 after passing through the second lens 20 and the third lens 30, is reflected by the human eye 01, passes through the third lens 30 and the second lens 20 again, and is incident to the imaging device 60, the optical path length can be properly increased, and more infrared light can be received, which is also beneficial to improving the precision of eye tracking to a certain extent.
In some examples of the present application, the first reflective structure and the second reflective structure may be flat mirrors or curved mirrors, as shown with reference to fig. 1 and 9. It should be noted that, whether the first reflecting structure and the second reflecting structure are plane mirrors or curved mirrors, the functions implemented are to reflect infrared light, and the structure itself does not limit the function of the first reflecting structure and the second reflecting structure in the eye tracking assembly.
In addition, in the eye tracking assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application, the first reflection structure is not higher than the highest point of the outer diameter of the third lens, and the second reflection structure is not lower than the lowest point of the outer diameter of the third lens.

In some examples of the present application, the eye tracking assembly further includes a first driving device configured to drive the first reflective structure 52 to oscillate, and a second driving device configured to drive the second reflective structure 62 to oscillate, so as to satisfy the adjustment of the dynamic range of the human eye.
