請參照圖1,圖1繪示本發明一實施例的頭戴式顯示裝置的示意圖。頭戴式顯示裝置100包括光波導元件110、影像裝置130及光學轉換層150。影像裝置130用以提供影像光束(未圖示)。光波導元件110接收影像光束,並透過表面115投射投射影像(未圖示)。光學轉換層150與表面115的邊緣重疊配置,其中轉換層150-1是光學轉換層150中位於表面115的邊緣1153的部分,而轉換層150-2是光學轉換層150中位於表面115的邊緣1155的部分。處理器140耦接至光學轉換層150,並依據投射目標E1 的位置以產生命令信號DS。光學轉換層150依據命令信號DS偏折部分的投射影像以便產生調整後投射影像(未圖示),以使調整後投射影像傳遞至投射目標E1。本實施例透過光學轉換層150的設置,將由光波導元件110的表面115投射的投射影像中,由表面115的邊緣投射的部分朝投射目標E1偏折,以提高頭戴式顯示裝置100的可視角度。 Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a schematic diagram of a head-mounted display device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The head-mounted display device 100 includes an optical waveguide device 110, an imaging device 130, and an optical conversion layer 150. The image device 130 is used to provide an image beam (not shown). The optical waveguide element 110 receives the image light beam and transmits a projection image (not shown) through the surface 115. The optical conversion layer 150 is disposed overlapping the edge of the surface 115, wherein the conversion layer 150-1 is a portion of the optical conversion layer 150 located on the edge 1153 of the surface 115, and the conversion layer 150-2 is the edge of the optical conversion layer 150 on the surface 115 Part of 1155. The processor 140 is coupled to the optical conversion layer 150 and according to the projection target E1 To generate the command signal DS. The optical conversion layer 150 deflects the projection image of the part according to the command signal DS to generate an adjusted projection image (not shown), so that the adjusted projection image is transmitted to the projection target E1. In this embodiment, the portion of the projection image projected from the surface 115 of the optical waveguide element 110 among the projection images projected from the surface 115 of the optical waveguide element 110 is deflected toward the projection target E1 through the arrangement of the optical conversion layer 150 to improve the visibility of the head-mounted display device 100 angle.

詳細地說,影像裝置130提供的影像光束在入射到光波導元件110後,會被光波導元件110傳導而由表面115投射出投射影像。投射影像可以包括靠近投射目標E1的近眼投射影像(未圖示)及遠離投射目標E1的邊緣投射影像(未圖示),其中近眼投射影像是投射影像中由表面115的近眼區域1151投射的部分,邊緣投射影像是由表面115的邊緣1153及1155投射的部分。在本實施例中,投射目標E1例如可以是使用者的眼球,而投射目標E1觀看頭戴式顯示裝置100的視線是視線S1。 In detail, after the image light beam provided by the image device 130 is incident on the optical waveguide element 110, it is conducted by the optical waveguide element 110 and the projected image is projected from the surface 115. The projection image may include a near-eye projection image (not shown) near the projection target E1 and an edge projection image (not shown) far from the projection target E1. The near-eye projection image is a part of the projection image that is projected by the near-eye region 1151 of the surface 115. The edge projected image is the part projected by the edges 1153 and 1155 of the surface 115. In this embodiment, the projection target E1 may be, for example, a user's eyeball, and the line of sight of the projection target E1 when viewing the head-mounted display device 100 is the line of sight S1.

當光學轉換層150在未作用時,由於光波導元件110對影像光束傳導上的限制,使得只有由近眼區域1151投射的近眼投射影像可以傳遞至投射目標E1,而由邊緣1153及1155投射的邊緣投射影像並無法傳遞至投射目標E1。此時,投射目標E1觀看頭戴式顯示裝置100的視角是視角A1。 When the optical conversion layer 150 is inactive, only the near-eye projection image projected from the near-eye region 1151 can be transmitted to the projection target E1, and the edges projected by the edges 1153 and 1155 are limited by the optical waveguide element 110 on the image beam conduction. The projected image cannot be transmitted to the projection target E1. At this time, the viewing angle at which the projection target E1 views the head-mounted display device 100 is the viewing angle A1.

當光學轉換層150作用時,光學轉換層150的轉換層150-1及150-2將邊緣投射影像朝投射目標E1偏折,使由邊緣1153及1155投射出的邊緣投射影像可以傳遞至投射目標E1,讓投射目 標E1觀看頭戴式顯示裝置100的視角由視角A1提高為視角B1。藉此,本實施例透過光學轉換層150的作用,可以將原本無法傳遞至投射目標E1的邊緣投射影像朝投射目標E1偏折,而傳遞至投射目標E1,達成提高頭戴式顯示裝置100的可視角度的目的。 When the optical conversion layer 150 functions, the conversion layers 150-1 and 150-2 of the optical conversion layer 150 deflect the edge projection image toward the projection target E1, so that the edge projection images projected by the edges 1153 and 1155 can be transmitted to the projection target. E1, let the projection eye The viewing angle at which the head-mounted display device 100 is viewed from the standard E1 is increased from the viewing angle A1 to the viewing angle B1. Therefore, in this embodiment, the role of the optical conversion layer 150 can transfer the edge projection image that could not be transmitted to the projection target E1 to the projection target E1, and transmit to the projection target E1, thereby improving the performance of the head-mounted display device 100. Purpose of viewing angle.

此外,光學轉換層150將部分投射影像朝投射目標E1偏折的角度例如是介於0度至10度之間。相對於習知的頭戴式顯示裝置,視角度可約在40°左右。本實施例透過光學轉換層150的設置,將邊緣投射影像朝投射目標E1偏折,可以提高頭戴式顯示裝置100的可視角度到60°以上。此實施結果僅是一舉例說明,並非用以限制本發明。 In addition, the angle at which the optical conversion layer 150 deflects a part of the projected image toward the projection target E1 is, for example, between 0 degrees and 10 degrees. Compared with the conventional head-mounted display device, the viewing angle can be about 40 °. In this embodiment, the edge conversion image is deflected toward the projection target E1 through the setting of the optical conversion layer 150, and the viewing angle of the head-mounted display device 100 can be increased to more than 60 °. This implementation result is only an example, and is not intended to limit the present invention.

值得一提的是,環境光L可以在入射光波導元件110後,穿透光學轉換層150而傳遞至投射目標E1。因此,用於顯示的投射影像及外界的環境光L皆可進入投射目標E1,而讓頭戴式顯示裝置100達到擴增實境的顯示效果。 It is worth mentioning that the ambient light L can pass through the optical conversion layer 150 and be transmitted to the projection target E1 after being incident on the optical waveguide element 110. Therefore, both the projected image for display and the external ambient light L can enter the projection target E1, and the head-mounted display device 100 can achieve the display effect of augmented reality.

舉例而言,本實施例的影像裝置130例如可包括微型液晶顯示面板(Liquid Crystal Display panel,LCD panel)、矽基液晶(Liquid Crystal on Silicon,LCOS)微型顯示器或其他種類的微型顯示器,但本發明不以此為限。此外,光波導元件110例如可以是散射式波導元件、全像式波導元件、偏光式波導元件或反射式波導元件等,且本發明並不限制影像裝置130將影像光束入射到光波導元件110的方式,只要可讓影像光束被光波導元件110傳導並朝投射目標E1投射投射影像即可。光波導元件110的材質例 如為玻璃或塑膠的至少其中之一,但本發明不以此為限制,光波導元件110也可以是其他適當的透明物質。處理器140例如可以是處理電路,處理電路可以包括控制器及相關電路。 For example, the image device 130 in this embodiment may include, for example, a micro liquid crystal display panel (Liquid Crystal Display panel, LCD panel), a liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) micro display, or other types of micro displays.

The driver 153a is coupled to the liquid crystal layer 151a, and adjusts the liquid crystal layer 151a according to the command signal DS to provide a driving voltage V. Therefore, the processor 140 may control the liquid crystal layer 151a so that a part of the projected image is refracted by the liquid crystal layer 151a to deflect toward the projection target E1, so that the edge projected image projected by the edge 1153 and / or 1155 of the surface 115 is directed toward the projection target E1.

詳細地說,投射目標E1例如是使用者的眼球,而投射目標偵測器160例如可以為眼球視線偵測器。在本實施例中,投射目標E1觀看頭戴式顯示裝置200的視線是以視線S2做為舉例說明。由光波導元件110的表面115投射的投射影像包括靠近視線S2的近眼投射影像(未圖示)及遠離視線S2的邊緣投射影像(未圖示),其中近眼投射影像是投射影像中由表面115的近眼區域1151a投射的部分,邊緣投射影像是投射影像中由表面115的邊緣 1153a及1155a投射的部分。近眼投射影像穿透光學轉換層150c並傳遞至投射目標E1,而投射目標E1觀看近眼投射影像的視角是視角A2。處理器140依據偵測結果ES控制光學轉換層150c,以將邊緣投射影像朝投射目標E1偏折。因此,透過投射目標偵測器160偵測投射目標E1的位置,處理器140只需對光學轉換層150c中位在視角B2內的部分投射影像進行偏折或不偏折的控制,就可以達成提高可視角度的目的,可降低光學轉換層150c所需要驅動的範圍,及降低需要的驅動電壓與驅動時間。光學轉換層150c例如可以由圖2所示的光學轉換層150a或圖3所示的光學轉換層150b所實現,其操作原理在此並不再贅述。 In detail, the projection target E1 is, for example, a user's eyeball, and the projection target detector 160 can be, for example, an eyeball sight detector. In this embodiment, the line of sight of the projection target E1 when viewing the head-mounted display device 200 is the line of sight S2 as an example. The projection image projected from the surface 115 of the optical waveguide element 110 includes a near-eye projection image (not shown) near the line of sight S2 and an edge projection image (not shown) far from the line of sight S2. Part of the near-eye region 1151a projected by the edge projection image is the edge of the surface 115 in the projected image 1153a and 1155a. The near-eye projection image passes through the optical conversion layer 150c and is transmitted to the projection target E1, and the viewing angle of the near-eye projection image of the projection target E1 is the viewing angle A2. The processor 140 controls the optical conversion layer 150c according to the detection result ES to deflect the edge projection image toward the projection target E1. Therefore, by detecting the position of the projection target E1 through the projection target detector 160, the processor 140 only needs to control the deflection or non-deflection of a part of the projection image in the optical conversion layer 150c that is within the viewing angle B2, and can improve The purpose of the viewing angle is to reduce the driving range required for the optical conversion layer 150c, and to reduce the required driving voltage and driving time. The optical conversion layer 150c may be implemented by, for example, the optical conversion layer 150a shown in FIG. 2 or the optical conversion layer 150b shown in FIG. 3, and its operation principle is not described herein again.

請參照圖5,圖5繪示本發明又一實施例的頭戴式顯示裝置的示意圖。本實施例的頭戴式顯示裝置300與圖1所述實施例的頭戴式顯示裝置100兩者結構相似,且功能與功效都相同。本實施例與圖1所述的實施例不同之處在於:頭戴式顯示裝置300還包括光學遮蔽層170,且光學遮蔽層170位於環境光L的傳遞路徑上。光學遮蔽層170包括複數個光遮蔽組件171。處理器140控制光學遮蔽層170使部分光遮蔽組件171阻擋部分入射光波導元件110的環境光L。藉此,光學遮蔽層170可以因應擴增實境應用的需要而阻擋環境光L。例如頭戴式顯示裝置300在執行特定擴增實境的應用時,會不希望某些環境中的物件出現在擴增實境裡,此時處理器140可以控制光學遮蔽層170以阻擋環境光L中此物件的光線,使其不被使用者看到。 Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a schematic diagram of a head-mounted display device according to another embodiment of the present invention. The head-mounted display device 300 of this embodiment is similar to the head-mounted display device 100 of the embodiment described in FIG. 1 in structure and has the same function and effect. This embodiment is different from the embodiment described in FIG. 1 in that the head-mounted display device 300 further includes an optical shielding layer 170, and the optical shielding layer 170 is located on the transmission path of the ambient light L. The optical shielding layer 170 includes a plurality of light shielding components 171. The processor 140 controls the optical shielding layer 170 to cause a part of the light shielding component 171 to block part of the ambient light L incident on the optical waveguide element 110. Thereby, the optical shielding layer 170 can block the ambient light L according to the needs of the augmented reality application. For example, when the head mounted display device 300 executes a specific augmented reality application, it may not want objects in certain environments to appear in the augmented reality. At this time, the processor 140 may control the optical shielding layer 170 to block ambient light. The light of this object in L makes it invisible to the user.

此外,處理器140還可以是依據影像裝置130提供的影像光束來控制光學遮蔽層170以阻擋環境光L。藉此,處理器140可以控制光學遮蔽層170阻擋投射影像所對應的部份環境光L,提高觀看投射影像時的對比度,降低環境光L對投射影像的影響,提升頭戴式顯示裝置300的顯示品質。 In addition, the processor 140 may also control the optical shielding layer 170 to block the ambient light L according to the image light beam provided by the image device 130. In this way, the processor 140 can control the optical shielding layer 170 to block part of the ambient light L corresponding to the projected image, improve the contrast when viewing the projected image, reduce the influence of the ambient light L on the projected image, and improve Display quality.

具體而言,光學遮蔽層170的各光遮蔽組件171例如可以包括液晶層(未圖示)。處理器140控制液晶層遮蔽通過光遮蔽組件171的部分環境光L,以降低部分入射光波導元件110的環境光L。然而,本實施例僅是光學遮蔽層170的一種實施方式,並非用以限制本發明。 Specifically, each light shielding component 171 of the optical shielding layer 170 may include, for example, a liquid crystal layer (not shown). The processor 140 controls the liquid crystal layer to shield a part of the ambient light L passing through the light shielding component 171 to reduce a part of the ambient light L incident to the optical waveguide element 110. However, this embodiment is only an implementation of the optical shielding layer 170 and is not intended to limit the present invention.

請參照圖6,圖6繪示本發明又一實施例的頭戴式顯示裝置的示意圖。本實施例的頭戴式顯示裝置400與圖1所述實施例的頭戴式顯示裝置100兩者結構相似,且功能與功效都相同。本實施例與圖1所述的實施例不同之處在於:頭戴式顯示裝置400還包括光學補償層190,光學補償層190配置在環境光L的傳遞路徑上。光學補償層190接收外部物件影像L0,並使外部物件影像L0朝投射目標E1投射,提高頭戴式顯示裝置400對外部物件影像L0的可視角度。 Please refer to FIG. 6, which illustrates a schematic diagram of a head-mounted display device according to another embodiment of the present invention. The head-mounted display device 400 of this embodiment is similar to the head-mounted display device 100 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 in structure and functions and effects are the same. This embodiment is different from the embodiment described in FIG. 1 in that the head-mounted display device 400 further includes an optical compensation layer 190, and the optical compensation layer 190 is disposed on the transmission path of the ambient light L. The optical compensation layer 190 receives the external object image L0 and causes the external object image L0 to be projected toward the projection target E1, thereby increasing the viewing angle of the head-mounted display device 400 to the external object image L0.

具體而言,環境光L是經由入光面113入射光波導元件110的。環境光L包括靠近投射目標E1的近眼環境光(未圖示)及遠離投射目標E1的邊緣環境光(未圖示),其中近眼環境光是環境光L中由入光面113的近眼區域1131入射的部分,而邊緣環 境光是環境光L中由入光面113的邊緣區域1133及1135入射的部分。當光學補償層190在未作用時,由於受到頭戴式顯示裝置400的元件影響,只有由近眼區域1131入射的近眼環境光可以傳遞至投射目標E1,而由邊緣區域1133及1135入射的邊緣環境光無法傳遞至投射目標E1。此時,投射目標E1觀看環境光L的視角是視角A3。 Specifically, the ambient light L is incident on the optical waveguide element 110 through the light incident surface 113. The ambient light L includes near-eye ambient light (not shown) near the projection target E1 and edge ambient light (not shown) far from the projection target E1. The near-eye ambient light is the near-eye area 1131 of the ambient light L from the light incident surface 113. Incident part while edge ring The ambient light is a portion of the ambient light L incident from the edge regions 1133 and 1135 of the light incident surface 113. When the optical compensation layer 190 is inactive, due to the influence of the elements of the head-mounted display device 400, only the near-eye ambient light incident from the near-eye region 1131 can be transmitted to the projection target E1, and the edge environment incident from the edge regions 1133 and 1135 Light cannot be transmitted to the projection target E1. At this time, the viewing angle at which the projection target E1 views the ambient light L is the viewing angle A3.

當光學補償層190在作用時,近眼環境光穿透光學補償層190後傳遞至投射目標E1。光學補償層190將邊緣環境光朝投射目標E1偏折,使得由邊緣區域1133及1135入射的邊緣環境光可以傳遞至投射目標E1。因此,投射目標E1觀看環境光L的視角可以提升至視角B3。藉此,本實施例透過光學補償層190的作用,可以將原本無法傳遞至投射目標E1的邊緣環境光朝投射目標E1偏折,而傳遞至投射目標E1,提高對環境光L的可視角度。而外部物件影像L0例如是環境光L中的一個物件的影像,光學補償層190可以提高頭戴式顯示裝置400對外部物件影像L0的可視角度。 When the optical compensation layer 190 is functioning, near-eye ambient light passes through the optical compensation layer 190 and is transmitted to the projection target E1. The optical compensation layer 190 deflects the edge ambient light toward the projection target E1 so that the edge ambient light incident from the edge regions 1133 and 1135 can be transmitted to the projection target E1. Therefore, the viewing angle of the projection target E1 to view the ambient light L can be increased to the viewing angle B3. Accordingly, in this embodiment, the edge ambient light that could not be transmitted to the projection target E1 can be deflected toward the projection target E1 through the effect of the optical compensation layer 190, and can be transmitted to the projection target E1 to improve the viewing angle of the ambient light L. The external object image L0 is, for example, an image of an object in the ambient light L. The optical compensation layer 190 can increase the viewing angle of the head-mounted display device 400 to the external object image L0.

此外,光學補償層190將部分環境光L朝投射目標E1偏折的角度例如是介於0度至10度之間,但本發明並不以此為限制。 In addition, the angle at which the optical compensation layer 190 deflects part of the ambient light L toward the projection target E1 is, for example, between 0 degrees and 10 degrees, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

本發明並不限制光學補償層190的實施方式,只要是可以將邊緣環境光朝投射目標E1偏折的結構即可。光學補償層190的一種實施方式可以是:光學補償層190包括液晶層(未圖示)及驅動器(未圖示)。驅動器並依據命令信號DS以提供驅動電壓 來調整液晶層,以使部分環境光L被液晶層折射以朝向投射目標E1偏折。此實施方式的作用與原理和圖2所示的光學轉換層150a類似,在此並不再贅述。 The present invention does not limit the implementation of the optical compensation layer 190, as long as it has a structure that can deflect the edge ambient light toward the projection target E1. An embodiment of the optical compensation layer 190 may be that the optical compensation layer 190 includes a liquid crystal layer (not shown) and a driver (not shown). The driver provides the driving voltage according to the command signal DS The liquid crystal layer is adjusted so that part of the ambient light L is refracted by the liquid crystal layer to deflect toward the projection target E1. The function and principle of this embodiment are similar to those of the optical conversion layer 150 a shown in FIG. 2, and will not be repeated here.

光學補償層190的另一種實施方式可以是:光學補償層190包括至少一稜鏡(未圖示)及致動器(未圖示),且致動器耦接稜鏡。致動器接收命令信號DS,並依據命令信號DS調整稜鏡的轉動角度,以使部分環境光L被稜鏡折射以朝向投射目標E1偏折。此實施方式的作用與原理和圖3所示的光學轉換層150b類似,在此並不再贅述。 Another implementation manner of the optical compensation layer 190 may be that the optical compensation layer 190 includes at least one chirp (not shown) and an actuator (not shown), and the actuator is coupled to the chirp. The actuator receives the command signal DS and adjusts the rotation angle of 稜鏡 according to the command signal DS, so that part of the ambient light L is refracted by 稜鏡 to deflect toward the projection target E1. The function and principle of this embodiment are similar to those of the optical conversion layer 150b shown in FIG. 3, and will not be repeated here.
