Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of an AR optical system in the prior art. The AR optical system includes: the light-emitting component 1, the light splitting unit 2 and the transflective unit 3 are arranged in sequence along a light path. The ideal light path trend of the AR optical system is as follows: the light emitting assembly 1 is configured to emit an image light beam L1, and the light splitting unit 2 is configured to reflect an incident image light beam L1 to the transflective unit 3. The transflective unit 3 is for reflecting the image beam line L1 and transmitting ambient light from the external real environment; the image light beam L1 reflected by the transflective unit 3 and the transmitted external effective light beam L2 reach the light splitting unit 2, and enter human eyes after being transmitted by the light splitting unit 2, so that a user can see the external real environment and can also see the image light beams superposed in the real environment, and the augmented reality effect is realized.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the light splitting unit 2 generally includes, in sequence: a reflective polarizer 202 and a phase retarder 203; the phase retarder 203 is located adjacent to the light emitting assembly 1 and the reflective polarizer 202 is located away from the light emitting assembly 1.

The phase retarder 203 is used for performing interface reflection on a part of the incident image light beam and transmitting the part of the incident image light beam to the transflective unit 3; another part of the image beam is transmitted to the reflective polarizer 202 through the phase retarder 203, and then reflected to the transflective unit 3 through the reflective polarizer 202. The retarder 203 may be a liquid crystal retarder, and the reflective polarizer 202 may be an APF film, or other film material having a reflective polarization function for light. However, the incident image beam forms two images after being reflected by the phase retardation member 203 and the reflective polarizer 202, respectively, so that the human eye may double images when viewing the images, and the visual effect is greatly reduced.

In view of this, the utility model provides a AR optical system and AR glasses limits the thickness T of phase delay piece 203 in light splitting unit 2 to make people's eye can not experience the ghost image problem when watching the image, improve visual experience.

For solving the problem that the ghost image appears in present AR optical system, the utility model discloses in restrict the thickness of phase delay piece 203, as shown in FIG. 3, the thickness of phase delay piece is T and is less than or equal to 18 um.

The technical scheme of the utility model in, after the thickness T restriction of phase delay piece is T ≤ 18um, as shown in fig. 4, can be so that the light beam can not be perceived by people's eye through the incident surface of phase delay piece 203 and the ghost image that becomes after the plane of reflection 202 of reflection respectively to improve visual experience.

On the other hand, when the thickness T of the phase retarder 203 is limited, it is preferable that the thickness T of the phase retarder satisfies: t is less than or equal to 10um, and under the condition, a good visual experience effect can be obtained, as shown in figure 5.

Further, as shown in fig. 3, the light splitting unit 2 further includes a glue layer 204 disposed between the phase retarder 203 and the reflective polarizer 202 for bonding the phase retarder 203 and the reflective polarizer 202, and a thickness d of the glue layer satisfies: d <20 um. When the retarder 203 is a liquid crystal retarder, the liquid crystal retarder may be adhered to the reflective polarizer 202 by coating.

The curved surface type of the curved mirror is not limited, and the curved mirror can be a spherical surface or an aspheric surface; the material of the curved mirror is not limited, and may be glass or plastic, and will not be described in detail herein.

Referring to fig. 1 again, when a part of the image light and a part of the ambient light enter into human eyes, interference light (external stray light) is also emitted upward from the lower side of the light splitting unit 2, and a part of the interference light reaches human eyes through reflection of the light splitting unit 2. That is, when the user views the image light and the external environment light, the user can also view the interference light incident from the outside at the same time, thereby reducing the viewing experience of the user.

In order to solve the above problem, in the AR optical system of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the light splitting unit 2 further includes an absorption polarizer 201 disposed on a side of the reflection polarizer 202 away from the light emitting module 1. The absorbing polarizer may be, for example, a POL film, which helps to eliminate stray light from the bottom, thereby reducing interference of external light, or other film materials having a polarization absorbing function for light, and are not described in detail herein.
