Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a head mounted display device, and more particularly to an optical path structure of a head mounted display device capable of performing stereoscopic image display. [Prior Art] With the development of electronic technology, portable game devices have been greatly developed in recent years, and game consoles such as Xbox and Play Station have been able to cope with the demands of complex large-scale games in terms of storage and computing processing capabilities. However, due to portability considerations, these gaming devices are still slightly insufficient in display. Although their resolution is comparable to that of a typical desktop computer display, the screen (usually a liquid crystal display) cannot have a large physical size due to the overall size of the device, so the display effect is still limited. In order to overcome the above disadvantages, one solution is to not use (or selectively use, in some cases, not to use) a liquid crystal display of a limited size, and to equip the game device with a micro-projection device to project the content to be displayed on the screen to The exterior facing the player, such as the inner wall of the room, the inner wall of the cabin, or the inner wall of the vehicle, can overcome the defects in the size of the display screen. However, in some cases, the above solution can also cause trouble. For example, in a cabin or a vehicle, if more than one person uses the above-described projection game device at the same time, images projected by a plurality of devices may overlap and interfere with each other. In addition, since the projected content can be seen by many people at the same time, it is unsuitable for use in the case where the display content involves personal privacy. 200839288 In addition, the two-dimensional planar image display has become more and more difficult to meet people's requirements, and people have begun to pursue three-dimensional display effects. In view of this, the display devices of the existing portable electronic devices are increasingly insufficient.

At the knife face 1123, two of the illumination light: open 'first-polarization state (represented by a solid line, for example, two ^ ===^(4) (simplified representation, for example, S-polarization state). The first polarization state propagates to the first output surface 113a. The light-modulating device 120a is disposed at the first output face, and modulates the light propagating thereto by using desired information. This embodiment adopts a reflective optical path. The first light modulating device 12 may include, for example, a dream-based liquid crystal (LCOS) device, a digital light source processor (DLp), or the like, or may be a liquid crystal light valve, preferably a chopper-based liquid crystal panel. A device, such as the technology disclosed in CN1570704A, may also include a combination of the above or different types of elements. The first optical modulation device may further include an optical structure having polarization state selection, reflection, and folding. The light modulated by the modulation device HOa, the polarization state is converted into: and the polarization state before the device is orthogonal to each other, and is reflected back to the spectroscopic surface 112a. Therefore, the light is reflected at the spectroscopic surface U2a and is output from the third output. Face 115a is emitted to the first Filter device 14〇a. The ix〇s panel used in the first light modulating device 120a may be a color LC 〇s device disclosed in, for example, CN^14447Y, which implements a filtering function (such as color) on the package glass of the LC 〇s. Filters. However, when used in a head-mounted application, the power normally projected does not need to be large, so the filter used to absorb unwanted colors in a color LCOS device can be directly placed on the 200839288 pixel. Burnout. Of course, a heat dissipation structure can also be provided on or near the LCOS to further ensure the safety of the system. Filters can be placed in the LCOS in various ways, for example, directly on the pixels similar to the processing in the LCD. A coloring dye is applied, or an interference filter film is plated on the pixel to realize a filtering function. The first light modulating device 120a is connected to a signal processing portion (not shown). The signal processing portion may adopt a matrix control technique to convert the pixel signal. Delivered to the corresponding pixel of the first light modulation device. The signal processing portion may be disposed in the head mounted display device or may be disposed in a portable type connected thereto In the gaming device, the second polarization state reflected at the beam splitting surface 112a of the first beam splitting device exits through the second output surface 114a and enters the input surface 111b of the second beam splitting device 110b. The light then reaches the beam splitting surface of the second beam splitting device. 112b. The dichroic surface 112b causes the second polarization state arriving there to be reflected and propagates toward the first output surface 113b of the second spectroscopic device. In the present embodiment, the light propagates from the spectroscopic surface 112b to the second in the second spectroscopic device. The path of an output surface 113b and the path of light propagating from the spectroscopic surface 112a to the first output surface 113a in the first spectroscopic device are substantially parallel and opposite to each other, and the s-polarization reflected at the spectroscopic surface 112a of the first spectroscopic device The state is still reflected rather than transmitted at the beam splitting surface 112b of the second beam splitting device. The second light modulating device 120b is disposed at the first output face 113b of the second beam splitting device to modulate the light propagating thereto with desired information. In this embodiment, a reflective optical path is used, and the second light modulation device 120b may include, for example, a liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) element, a digital light source processor (DLP), etc., 10 200839288 may also be a liquid crystal light valve, preferably a smuth-based liquid crystal. More preferably, the panel has the same model specifications and the like as the first light modulating device 120a. Where the modulating device has a plurality of modulating elements, such as those disclosed in CN1570704A, combinations of the same or different types of the above elements may also be included. The second light modulating device may further include an optical structure having a function of polarization state selection, reflection, refraction, and the like. The light modulated by the second light modulating device 120b is reflected back to the spectroscopic surface 112b, and its polarization state is converted to be orthogonal to the polarization state before being incident on the device. Therefore, the light is transmitted at the spectroscopic surface 112b and is emitted from the third output surface 115b to the reflecting means 130. Similar to the first light modulating device 120a, the LCOS panel used in the second light modulating device 120b may also be a color LCOS device such as disclosed in CN2514447Y. The filter for absorbing unwanted color in the color LCOS device can be directly disposed on the pixel or on the package glass, or a heat dissipation structure can be disposed on or near the LCOS to further ensure the safety of the system. Filters can also be placed in the LCOS in a variety of ways, such as applying dye directly to the pixels, or plating the interference filter on the pixels, similar to the processing in LCDs. The second light modulating device 120b may also adopt a transmissive element (for example, a transmissive liquid crystal light valve). At this time, the reflecting device 130 is disposed behind the first output surface 113b and the second light modulating device 120b of the second light modulating device (FIG. 1a) In their left side). The second light modulating device 120b is also connected to the above-described signal processing portion (not shown). The signal processing portion can, for example, deliver the pixel signals to corresponding pixels of the second light modulating device. The signal processing portion may cause the second light tone 200839288 device 120b to modulate the incident light in a pattern different from the first light modulation device 120a, so that the modulated light has a different distribution, and the modulated light is as follows Enter the viewer's eyes so that the viewer can view the stereo image. The reflecting means 130 is arranged to cause the light outputted by the second beam splitting means 110b to propagate in a desired direction and enter the second filter means 140b. In the present embodiment, the light reflected by the reflecting means 130 is substantially parallel to the light emitted from the third output surface 115a of the first beam splitting means 110a. However, depending on the application (e.g., as the viewer's interpupillary size is adjusted), these lines may also have a certain angle between them, and the angle is usually between 0 degrees and about 30 degrees. The reflecting means may be, for example, a mirror plated with a broadband high reflectivity film layer at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the direction of light propagation, or various prisms, etc., and may be mounted in the head mounted structure by a suitable mechanism. And adjustment. The first filter device 140a and the second filter device 140b may include, for example, polarizing plates that respectively receive light beams output from the first beam splitting device 11a and the reflecting device 130, and have polarization states of crossing directions orthogonal to each other, The residual undesired polarization state is filtered out to improve image quality. The polarization states respectively transmitted through the first filter device 140a and the second filter device 140b can enter the viewer's eye nitrile through the objective lenses 15a, 150b and the eyepieces 160a, 160b disposed behind the both. The head mounted display device of the present invention may include adjustment means for adjusting the position of the objective lens, the eyepiece and/or the above display structure, and the light intensity of the light source to suit the specific needs of different viewers' eyes. The design of the objective lens and the eyepiece and the corresponding adjustment means can be carried out by conventional methods well known in the art and will therefore not be described in detail herein. 200839288 The dark-field illumination mode is adopted in the head-mounted display device of the present invention, and high-contrast is not required, so the requirement of (4) can be reduced, and only one light source is used in this embodiment. Stereoscopic display can be achieved with a simple light path, which can reduce the cost, energy consumption and volume of the system. For example, in the case of a color LCOS panel using _χ6〇〇 resolution as the first and second light modulating means, the size is usually only about 1 cm x 1 cm 'even if the first and second splitting means (for example, two polarizations are split) The volume of the prism and the reflecting device can be easily taken into the head-mounted structure (for example, glasses of (4) or (4)).

The light of the ρ-polarized state is converted into the S-polarized state by the second light modulating device and reflected back to the cleavage surface of the second beam splitting device in the +Υ direction, and is reflected by the splitting surface in the ζ direction away from the second beam splitting device, 310b is then reflected in the +γ direction by a reflecting device that is also parallel to the x-axis direction.

The forced shape can also be used in combination with the second embodiment. Figure 4 7F shows a more complete structure in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention: = Intent. Wherein, the light-emitting element 1 (for example, led), the light intensity is divided into:::: the homogenizing device 2 (for example, the light rod) and the field lens 3 are combined to form a similar light source: the polarization light splitting element is illustrated by The arrangement is white, two, and the polarization beam splitting prism 4 is composed of 4_2 and Μ. After the light energy emitted by the light source and the q-polarization beam splitting prism, two mutually orthogonal polarizations=°-type polarization states (for example, P-polarization states) travel through the spectroscopic surface of the first polarization component, and enter the second polarization beam splitting prism. 4 small brother: the beam splitting surface of the polarization beam splitting prism 4_2 continues to travel, after the first: clothing 12〇 & modulation to change the polarization state and reflect to the left, in the second partial light prism 4-2 * light The face is reflected upward to the first filter, diaphragm 4 and successively through the objective lens 15A, the two reflectors 9 and the eyepiece 160a into the viewer's eyes. The other polarization state (for example, the S polarization state) is reflected on the light splitting surface of the first polarization beam splitting prism 15 200839288 4-1, enters the third polarization beam splitting prism 4-3, and is disposed at the light splitting surface of the third polarization beam splitting prism 4-3. The left reflection, modulated by the second light modulating device 120b, changes the polarization state and reflects to the right, transmits through the beam splitting surface of the third polarization beam splitting prism 4-3, and passes through the quarter wave plate 6, at the reflector 7 Reflection occurs at the same time, and passes through the quarter wave plate 6 again to the left to the light splitting surface of the third polarization beam splitting prism 4-3. Since the light transmitted through the spectroscopic surface of the polarization beam splitting prism 4-3 passes through the quarter-wave plate 6 twice, its polarization state is changed to be orthogonal to the original, so it travels to the left to the third polarization beam splitting prism 4-3. The splitting surface is reflected, moves up into the second filter device 140b, and successively passes through the objective lens 150b, the two reflectors 9, and the eyepiece 160b into the viewer's eyes. By modulating the light by the first light modulating device 120a and the second light modulating device 120b with different image information, the viewer can see the stereoscopic image. In the optical path structure in this embodiment, the optical paths of the two polarization states traveling from the first and second light modulating devices to the viewer's eyes are equal in length, so that there is almost no loss difference between the two, and it is not necessary to make two The light intensity seen by the eye is balanced to reduce the intensity of a certain path of light. This is especially beneficial in certain situations, such as certain brightness requirements. In each of the above embodiments, a light source (although it may be included to include a plurality of light-emitting elements) is used, and the polarization splitting element is divided into two mutually orthogonal polarization states to respectively illuminate the two light modulation devices. . However, it is also possible to use a light source having two separate light-emitting portions, each of which provides illumination for the light modulating device, respectively, without using the above-described polarization splitting element. It is also possible to use two separate lights 16 200839288 sources S1 and S2, each of which provides illumination for the respective one of the light modulating devices 120a, 120b, as shown in the fourth embodiment of Fig. 5. Such a structure can simplify or even eliminate the polarization beam splitting elements in the above embodiments, realize a relatively simple optical path structure, and easily realize various parts of the head mounted display device (for example, components in the respective optical paths of the two rays entering the eyes) The balance between weight and so on. Note that it is not necessary to illuminate the reflective light modulating devices 120a, 120b (for example, color-LCOS components) using a polarization beam splitting prism in FIG. 5, and other light path structures may be employed as long as the two light sources can be respectively irradiated to the corresponding light modulating devices. And along the - non-coincident path to provide a stereoscopic display for the viewer. Further, the reflective light modulation element used in each of the above embodiments may be replaced by a transmissive light modulation element such as a liquid crystal panel, a south temperature polycrystalline chopping element (HTPS), or the like. In this case, the reflection in each embodiment The illumination structure is correspondingly replaced by a transmissive illumination structure that illuminates the light modulation device and modulates it from the other side.
