Description

Optical system
Technical Field
The application relates to the field of optical devices, in particular to a foldback optical system.
Background
As the demand of users for virtual reality devices increases, higher demands are also being placed on optical systems in virtual reality devices, for example, optical systems need to have high resolution and small size.
The following two methods are generally employed to ensure that the optical system has a small size without affecting the angle of view of the optical system. The first method is to ensure a small size of the optical system by reducing the viewing distance of the optical system, which means that the eyes of the user are close to the optical system, which may cause muscular tension of the eyes of the user, thereby affecting the comfort of use of the user. The second method is to guide the returning light to the small image plane by increasing the number of lenses included in the optical system, which leads to an increase in processing or assembly tolerance of the optical system and an increase in the optical overall length of the optical system. In addition, the optical system often attaches a film layer such as a reflective polarizing element or a quarter wave plate on a curved surface with a certain curvature, and the quality of the film layer such as the reflective polarizing element or the quarter wave plate after film attachment is degraded due to the complex curved surface film attaching process, so that the performance of the optical system is degraded.

The features, principles, and other aspects of the present application are described in detail below.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a first aspect of the present application provides an optical system that may include a first element group, a second element group, a third element group, and a fourth element group sequentially arranged from a first side to a second side along an optical axis. The first element group may include, for example, a first lens, a reflective polarizing element, and a first quarter wave plate. The second element group may for example comprise a second lens and a second quarter wave plate. The third element group may, for example, include a third lens. The fourth element group may include, for example, a fourth lens. Adjacent ones of the first through fourth element groups may have an air space therebetween.
In an exemplary embodiment, the first side may be, for example, a human eye side and the second side may be, for example, a display side. Accordingly, the first side of each element (first lens, second lens, third lens, fourth lens, reflective polarizer, first quarter wave plate, second quarter wave plate) may be referred to as the near-eye side, and the second side may be referred to as the near-display side.
In an exemplary embodiment, the optical system may further comprise a stop, which may be arranged, for example, between the first side and the first lens. The image light on the display is refracted and reflected for many times by the fourth lens, the third lens, the second quarter wave plate, the first lens, the first quarter wave plate, the reflective polarizing element and the like, and finally projected to eyes of a user.
In an exemplary embodiment, the second side of the optical system may be provided with an image surface, which may be provided with a display, for example. The image light from the display can sequentially pass through the fourth lens, the third lens, the second quarter wave plate, the first lens and the first quarter wave plate to reach the reflective polarizing element, and then be reflected at the reflective polarizing element to form first reflected image light. The first reflected image light passes through the first quarter wave plate, the first lens and reaches the partially reflective layer, and then is reflected at the partially reflective layer to form second reflected image light. The second reflected image light passes through the first lens, the first quarter wave plate, the reflective polarizing element to the diaphragm in sequence and finally is projected into eyes of a user. In other examples, the order in which the image light passes through the second lens and the second quarter wave plate may be interchanged in forming the first reflected image light. The optical system provided by the application folds the required optical path on the premise of not influencing the projection quality in a light reflection and refraction combined mode, and the length of the body of the optical system is effectively shortened.
In an exemplary embodiment, the first side of the first lens is configured as a plane, and the reflective polarizing element and/or the first quarter wave plate is attached to the first side of the first lens. The reflective polarizing element and/or the first quarter wave plate are/is attached to the plane by adopting a plane film attaching mode, so that the quality of the reflective polarizing element and/or the first quarter wave plate after being attached can be ensured, and the external visual field performance of the optical system is further improved.
As an example, the reflective polarizing element is attached to the first quarter wave plate and forms a film layer, and the attached film layer is attached to the first side surface of the first lens, where the reflective polarizing element is located on the first side surface of the first quarter wave plate. The reflective polarizing element and the first quarter wave plate are combined together to form one film layer, so that the number of attached surfaces of the film layer can be reduced, and the attached yield of the film layer is improved. And the film layer after compounding is attached to the plane, so that the stability of the film layer after attaching is improved, and the external visual field performance of the optical system is improved.
As an example, the first side or the second side of the second lens is configured to be planar, and the side of the second lens configured to be planar is provided with a second quarter wave plate. According to the optical system provided by the application, the first lens to the fourth lens are provided with two planes, and the aspheric designs of the third lens and the fourth lens are matched, so that the external visual field performance of the optical system can be improved.
In an exemplary embodiment, the optical system may further include a partially reflective layer, which may be attached to the second side of the first lens, for example. The partially reflective layer has a transflective effect on light. The second side surface of the first lens is provided with the partial reflecting layer, and the reflecting polarizing element and the first quarter wave plate of the first side surface of the first lens are combined, so that light rays can be folded back for many times, and the length of the body of the optical system is effectively reduced.
In an exemplary embodiment, the on-axis distance TD of the first side of the first element group to the second side of the fourth element group and the total effective focal length f of the optical system may satisfy: TD/f <1.5. In an example, 0.8< TD/f <1.3. By restricting the ratio of the on-axis distance of the first side face of the first element group to the second side face of the fourth element group to the total effective focal length of the optical system and making the above ratio smaller than 1.5, it is possible to ensure that the optical system has a reasonable focal length and a smaller size as much as possible, which is advantageous for realizing miniaturization of the optical system.
In an exemplary embodiment, the center thickness CT3 of the third lens on the optical axis, the refractive index N2 of the second lens, the refractive index N3 of the third lens, and the air interval T23 of the second element group and the third element group on the optical axis may satisfy: 8.0< CT3/((N2+N3). Times.T23) <12.0. Through making the third lens have reasonable thickness, collocation reasonable second lens's refractive index, third lens's refractive index and second element group and third element group's air interval on the optical axis simultaneously, can ensure that optical system has reasonable focal length to be favorable to shortening optical system's body length, and then ensure that optical system realizes miniaturization.
In an exemplary embodiment, the center thickness CT2 of the second lens on the optical axis, the center thickness CT3 of the third lens on the optical axis, the air interval T23 of the second element group and the third element group on the optical axis, the abbe number V2 of the second lens, the abbe number V3 of the third lens, the effective focal length F2 of the second element group, and the effective focal length F3 of the third element group may satisfy: (t23+ct2+ct3) × (v2+v3)/| (f2+f3) | <10.0. By controlling the conditional expression, the optical system can be ensured to have smaller body length and reasonable focal length, meanwhile, the chromatic aberration of the optical system is reduced by matching with the reasonable chromatic dispersion coefficients of the second lens and the third lens, and the multiband light transmission capability of the optical system is improved.
In an exemplary embodiment, the maximum field angle FOV of the optical system may satisfy: 80 ° < FOV <120 °.

Example 3
An optical system according to embodiment 3 of the present application is described below with reference to fig. 7 to 8C.
As shown in fig. 7, the optical system 300 includes a first element group, a second element group, a third element group, and a fourth element group, which are sequentially arranged from a first side to a second side along the optical axis. The first element group includes a first lens E1, a reflective polarizing element RP, and a first quarter wave plate QWP1, and in other examples, the first element group further includes a partially reflective layer BS (not shown). The second element group includes a second lens E2 and a second quarter wave plate QWP2. The third element group includes a third lens E3. The fourth element group includes a fourth lens E4. In this embodiment, the first side refers to the human eye side and the second side refers to the display side. The first side of each element (first lens E1, second lens E2, third lens E3, fourth lens E4, reflective polarizing element RP, first quarter wave plate QWP1 and second quarter wave plate QWP 2) is referred to as the near-eye side, and the second side is referred to as the near-display side.
The first lens E1 has positive optical power, its near-human-eye side surface S3 is a plane, the near-display side surface S4 is a convex surface, and a partially reflective layer BS is attached. The reflective polarizing element RP has a near-eye side S1 and a near-display side, the first quarter wave plate QWP1 has a near-eye side S2 and a near-display side, the near-display side of the reflective polarizing element RP is attached to the near-eye side S2 of the first quarter wave plate QWP1, and the near-display side of the first quarter wave plate QWP1 is attached to the near-eye side S3 of the first lens E1. The second lens E2 has negative power, and its near-eye side S6 is a plane and near-display side S7 is a concave surface. The second quarter wave plate QWP2 has a near-eye side S5 and a near-display side, which is attached to the near-eye side S6 of the second lens E2. The third lens E3 has positive power, and its near-eye side S8 is concave and near-display side S9 is convex. The fourth lens E4 has positive power, and its near-eye side S10 is convex and its near-display side S11 is convex.

The optical system further comprises a third quarter wave plate QWP3, the third quarter wave plate QWP3 having a near-eye side S12 and a near-display side, the near-display side being attached to the near-eye side S13 of the display. After the image light from the display passes through the fourth lens E4, the third lens E3, the second lens E2, the second quarter wave plate QWP2, the first lens E1, the first quarter wave plate QWP1 in order and reaches the reflective polarizing element RP, the first reflection occurs at the reflective polarizing element RP. After the light reflected for the first time passes through the first quarter wave plate QWP1, the first lens E1, and reaches the partially reflective layer BS, the second reflection occurs at the partially reflective layer BS. The light reflected the second time passes through the first lens E1, the first quarter wave plate QWP1, the reflective polarizing element RP, and finally, the target object (not shown) in the projection space in this order. For example, the light reflected by the optical system twice is finally projected into eyes of a user.
Table 5 shows the basic parameter table of the optical system of example 3, in which the unit of radius of curvature, thickness/distance is millimeter (mm). Image light from the display passes through the elements in the order of number 20 to number 2 and is finally projected into the human eye.

The fourth lens E4 has positive power, and its near-eye side S10 is concave and near-display side S11 is convex.
In this example, the second side of the optical system may be provided with an image surface S14, and the image surface S14 may be provided with a display, for example. The optical system further comprises a third quarter wave plate QWP3, the third quarter wave plate QWP3 having a near-eye side S12 and a near-display side, the near-display side being attached to the near-eye side S13 of the display. After the image light from the display passes through the fourth lens E4, the third lens E3, the second lens E2, the second quarter wave plate QWP2, the first lens E1, the first quarter wave plate QWP1 in order and reaches the reflective polarizing element RP, the first reflection occurs at the reflective polarizing element RP. After the light reflected for the first time passes through the first quarter wave plate QWP1, the first lens E1, and reaches the partially reflective layer BS, the second reflection occurs at the partially reflective layer BS. The light reflected the second time passes through the first lens E1, the first quarter wave plate QWP1, the reflective polarizing element RP, and finally, the target object (not shown) in the projection space in this order. For example, the light reflected by the optical system twice is finally projected into eyes of a user.
Table 11 shows the basic parameter table of the optical system of example 6, in which the unit of radius of curvature, thickness/distance is millimeter (mm). Image light from the display passes through the elements in the order of number 20 to number 2 and is finally projected into the human eye.

The light reflected the second time passes through the first lens E1, the first quarter wave plate QWP1, the reflective polarizing element RP, and finally, the target object (not shown) in the projection space in this order.
