The technical scheme of the application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The use of the word "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete fashion to facilitate understanding.
Fourth, in the embodiment of the present application, image light refers to light carrying an image (or image information) for generating an image.
Fifth, in the drawings of the present application, the thickness, size, and shape of the lens have been slightly exaggerated for convenience of explanation. Specifically, the spherical or aspherical shape shown in the drawings is shown by way of example, that is, the spherical or aspherical shape is not limited to the spherical or aspherical shape shown in the drawings. Also, the drawings are merely examples and are not drawn to scale.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a HUD device according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the HUD device is provided on an automobile. The HUD device is used to project status information of a vehicle, instruction information of external objects, navigation information, and the like, through a windshield of the vehicle in a visual field of a driver. Status information includes, but is not limited to, travel speed, mileage, fuel amount, water temperature, and lamp status, etc. The indication information of the external object includes, but is not limited to, safe car distance, surrounding obstacle, reversing image and the like. The navigation information includes, but is not limited to, directional arrow, distance, travel time, and the like.
The virtual images corresponding to the navigation information and the indication information of the external object can be superimposed on the real environment outside the vehicle, so that the driver can obtain the visual effect of augmented reality, and the virtual images can be used for augmented reality (augmented reality, AR) navigation, adaptive cruising, lane departure early warning and the like. Since the virtual image corresponding to the navigation information can be combined with the real scene, the HUD device is generally matched with an advanced driving assistance system (advanced driving assistant system, ADAS) system of the automobile. In order not to disturb road conditions, the virtual image corresponding to the instrument information is usually about 2 meters to 3 meters from the human eye. In order to better integrate the virtual image corresponding to the navigation information with the real road surface, the distance between the virtual image corresponding to the navigation information and the human eye is generally about 7 meters to 15 meters. The position of the virtual image of the navigation information is called a far focal plane, and the plane of the virtual image of the instrument information is called a near focal plane.
Currently, DLP and LCOS spatial light modulators with high reliability are the first choice of HUD systems in order to achieve a HUD system with a large scale of high brightness. However, conventional HUD image generating lenses based on DLP or LCOS are generally of rotationally symmetrical structure, and the function of such lenses is to project an image on the DMD or LCOS onto a diffusion screen in an equally enlarged form, thereby realizing a function of relaying the image. Since the magnification of the rotationally symmetrical lens is uniform on the horizontal and vertical sides (long and short sides of the image source), the aspect ratio of the image projected onto the diffusion screen is the same as that of the DMD or LCOS, and is generally 16:9 or 2:1. However, from a demand and volume perspective, the aspect ratio of the final frame of the HUD is greater than the values described above, typically 10:4, 12:4 or 13:5. In order to adapt to the final aspect ratio of the HUD, part of the illumination light is often blocked in the image generating unit (picture generation unit, PGU), or the intermediate image is blocked at the diffusion screen, resulting in loss of brightness of the final HUD image, and problems of energy waste, resolution reduction, etc.
Based on the problems, the projection lens provided by the application can realize the emission of image light with the picture size required by matching HUD, and can avoid shielding of the illumination light or the relay image of PGU, and has the advantages of simple structure and high light energy utilization rate.

Fig. 15 shows a schematic structural diagram of a projection apparatus 1500 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 15, the projection apparatus 1500 includes: a display unit 1510 and a projection lens 1520. The display unit 1510 is configured to emit first image light to the projection lens 1520, where the first image light corresponds to the first image.
The display unit 1510 may include a light source 1511 and a modulation unit 1512 as shown in fig. 16. Wherein the light source 1511 is for generating a light beam carrying image data of an input image. The modulation unit 1512 is configured to modulate a light beam according to image data and generate first image light.
The modulation unit may be, for example, a reflective spatial light modulator and has a function of changing the polarization direction of incident linearly polarized light, for example, an LCoS modulator.
In other examples, the modulation unit may also be a reflective spatial light modulator and have no function of changing the polarization direction of the incident linearly polarized light, such as MEMS or DMD.
In still other examples, the modulation unit may also be a transmissive spatial light modulator, such as an LCD or the like. Compared with a transmission type spatial light modulator, the reflection type spatial light modulator has higher light utilization efficiency and is beneficial to energy conservation.
The projection lens 1520 may refer to the description in the above specification, and will not be described here.
In one implementation manner, if the target aspect ratio of the image carried by the image light emitted from the projection apparatus 1500 is required to be 13:5, the projection process of the projection lens is shown in fig. 17, and specifically, the method may include the following steps.
S1710, the video source inputs input image information with an aspect ratio of 13:5.
Specifically, the video source inputs image data of an input image having an aspect ratio of 13:5 to an input of the projection device. Wherein the video source serves as an input device or apparatus for image data information of the projection apparatus 1500.
S1720, stretching the input image according to the aspect ratio of the image that can be processed by the modulating means.
Specifically, the processing unit stretches an image input from the video source according to the aspect ratio of the image which can be processed by the modulation unit, so that the aspect ratio of the input image is matched with the modulation unit. For example, when the aspect ratio of the image that the modulation unit can process is 16:9, the processing unit stretches the input image with the aspect ratio of 13:5 into the input image with the aspect ratio of 16:9.
The processing unit may be part of the modulation unit or a module or device separate from the modulation unit, and the application is not limited.
S1730, the modulation unit processes the input image and outputs a first image light carrying the first image.
For example, for a three-plate LCoS modulation unit, first, white light emitted from a light source is split into light rays of three primary colors of red, green and blue by a light splitting system (polarizer, etc.). Then, each primary color light irradiates a reflective LCoS chip, the modulation unit changes the intensity of the light reflected by each pixel point of the LCoS chip by controlling the state of liquid crystal molecules on the LCoS panel according to the input image information, and finally the light reflected by the LCoS is converged into first image light through necessary optical refraction and emitted.
S1740, the projection lens generates output image light based on the first image light, which carries an output image satisfying the target aspect ratio.
Specifically, the projection lens receives the first image light output from the modulation unit, and generates output image light based on the first image light, the output image light carrying an output image satisfying a target aspect ratio. For example, if the target aspect ratio is 13:5, the aspect ratio of the first image emitted by the modulation unit is 16:9, and a projection lens with a ratio of the length and the width of the projection lens to the magnification of 1.45 can be adopted, so that the aspect ratio of the generated output image can be satisfied with 13:5.
Fig. 18 shows a schematic structural diagram of a display device 1800 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 18, the display device 1800 includes: projection device 1810 and imaging module 1820. The projection device 1810 may refer to the related description of the projection device 1500 in fig. 15, which is not repeated herein. The imaging module 1820 generates a target image that satisfies a target aspect ratio based on the image light exiting the projection device 1810.
If the modulation unit in the projection device 1810 is LCoS, the display device 1800 may be as shown in fig. 19. In fig. 19, the light source 1910 includes a first light source 19101, a second light source 19102, a third light source 19103, and a polarizing element 19104, which may correspond to monochromatic light of three primary colors including red light, blue light, and green light, respectively. The polarizing element may be a polarizer or the like. The modulation unit 1920 is an LCoS modulator. The structure of the projection lens 1930 can be described with reference to fig. 9 or 10, and will not be described herein. Imaging module 1940 includes a first freeform mirror 19401 and a second freeform mirror 19402.
Specifically, the light source 1910 inputs a light beam for carrying image data to the modulation unit, and after the modulation unit 1920 receives the light beam from the light source 1910, modulates the input light beam based on data information of the input image, and outputs first image light carrying the first image. The first image light passes through a projection lens 1930 to generate an output image, which is carried in the output image light, which is transmitted to an imaging module 1940 where it passes through 19401 and 19402 to ultimately exit the imaging light.
The first image is an image obtained by compressing the difference aspect ratio of the input image. If the aspect ratio of the input image is 13:5, the aspect ratio of the frame processable by the modulation unit 1920 is 16:9, and the aspect ratio of the first image is 16:9.
If the system requires a target aspect ratio of 13:5 for the final imaging light generated image, the ratio of length to width magnification for the first image is 1.45. In one implementation, the length and width magnification of the projection lens 1930 on the first image is 1.45, at this time, the length magnification of the projection lens 1930 on the first image is 13.3, the short-side magnification is 9.15, and the length magnification is 1.45 times that of the short-side magnification. That is, the aspect ratio of the output image emitted from the projection lens 1930 can satisfy the aspect ratio of the target image. In general, that is, the ratio of the magnification of the projection lens 1930 to the long side and the short side of the first image is a, the compression ratio of the modulation unit 1920 to the long side and the short side of the input image is B, and the ratio of a to B satisfies: a=b=1, i.e. the magnification of the long side and the short side of the first image by the projection lens 1930 is inversely proportional to the compression ratio of the long side and the short side of the input image by the modulation unit 1920. If the aspect ratio of the input image is X and the target aspect ratio is Y, Y satisfies: y=x×a×b.
In this case, the free-form surface mirror 19401 in the imaging module 1940 is inversely proportional to the ratio of the free-form surface mirror 19402 to the length-width magnification of the projection lens output image. In particular, the first freeform mirror and the second freeform mirror in the imaging module 1940 may each be planar mirrors.
Specifically, at this time, the size of the LCoS chip corresponding to the projection lens 1930 is 8.16mm×4.59mm, the f-number is 2.0, the imaging satisfies the full-frame MTF >0.5, and the distortion is <1%.
In another implementation, the length-width magnification of the projection lens 1930 on the first image is less than 1.45, that is, the aspect ratio of the image carried in the image light emitted by the projection lens 1930 cannot meet the aspect ratio of the target image. At this time, the imaging module 1940 will split a portion of the magnification, that is, the imaging module 1940 and the free-form surface mirror in the projection lens together achieve a length-width magnification of 1.45 for the first image. In general, that is, the ratio of the magnification of the projection lens 1930 to the long side and the short side of the first image is a, the compression ratio of the modulation unit 1920 to the long side and the short side of the input image is B, and the ratio of a to B satisfies: a is less than 1. If the ratio of the magnification of the imaging module 1940 to the long side and the short side of the image light output by the projection lens is C, a×c=1.45. At this time, if the aspect ratio of the input image is X and the target aspect ratio is Y, then Y satisfies: y=x a B C.
Optionally, the display device 1900 also includes a diffuser 1950, the diffuser 1950 being used for relay imaging. If the aspect ratio of the input image of the display device is the same as the target aspect ratio, in one possible implementation, if the magnification of the long side and the short side of the first image by the projection lens 1930 is inversely proportional to the compression ratio of the long side and the short side of the input image by the modulation unit 1920, the image on the diffusion screen 1950 satisfies the target aspect ratio. In another implementation, if the magnification of the projection lens 1930 on the long side and the short side of the first image is not inversely proportional to the compression ratio of the modulation unit 1920 on the long side and the short side of the input image, the imaging module 1940 is configured to amplify the aspect ratio of the image on the diffusion screen 1950 with different magnifications, and output imaging light carrying an image satisfying the target aspect ratio.
Fig. 20 shows a schematic diagram of a display device 1900 according to an embodiment of the application applied to a HUD. In fig. 20, a display device 2010 and a windshield 2020 are included. Among other things, the display device 2010 includes an enclosure housing 2011 and a dust cap 2012.
Specifically, the imaging light emitted from the display device 1900 is transmitted through the dust cover 2012 and then is incident on the windshield 2020, and the imaging light is reflected by the windshield and then is incident on the human eye, and is imaged on the retina, so that the human eye can view the image carried by the imaging light.
In one possible implementation, if the imaging light is polarized, the windshield may also be coated with a polarizing film to eliminate stray light.
