Description

Augmented reality glasses

Technical Field

The utility model relates to an optics field of visualing specifically relates to an augmented reality glasses.

Background

Patent document CN105938250A provides a multi-layer augmented reality smart glasses. The multilayer imaging system includes, for example, a filter lens, a display lens, and a functional lens, which are mounted on the frame on both sides of the display lens, respectively. This patent document employs an imaging system of a three-layer structure, in which ambient light passes through a filter lens, a display lens, and a functional lens in this order before reaching the eyes of the wearer. The filter lens can select the filter characteristics according to the needs so as to filter light rays which are in adverse effect on the imaging effect of the display lens of the intelligent glasses in ambient light. The filter lenses also act as an image projection wall because the smart glasses display the screen that the lenses appear directly in front of the person's eyes as a semi-transparent virtual screen. Too strong ambient light may make it difficult for the human eye to clearly discern what is displayed on the semi-transparent virtual screen. Through the filtering of the filtering lens, a relatively dark background area is formed for the semitransparent virtual screen, so that the imaging effect of the display lens of the intelligent glasses can be enhanced. In addition, ambient light may also pass through the functional lenses after passing through the filter lenses and the smart eyewear display lenses. The functional lens may be a vision correcting lens.

This patent document effectively reduces the adverse effect of ambient light on the augmented reality effect, but fails to reasonably process the display light, and in practical application, ghost images easily appear. In addition, the smart glasses in this patent document have a large volume and a complicated structure.
