Abstract

L'invention porte également sur un visiocasque comportant le dispositif d'affichage d'image. La lumière émise à partir de la source de lumière est réfractée par une surface de réfraction d'un système optique d'éclairage après que la lumière est passée à travers un diaphragme, puis, après avoir été réfléchie par une surface réfléchissante pour un éclairage, la lumière est réfractée à nouveau par la surface de réfraction et est guidée vers un élément d'affichage. Une lumière d'image émise à partir de l'élément d'affichage entre dans un élément optique d'hologramme d'un système optique d'oculaire, et est diffractée et réfléchie dans l'élément optique d'hologramme, et est guidée vers la pupille optique. A ce moment, en satisfaisant l'expression conditionnelle prédéterminée, diverses aberrations générées en raison d'un agencement excentrique de la surface réfléchissante pour un éclairage et diverses aberrations générées en raison d'un agencement excentrique de la surface réfléchissante de l'oculaire peuvent être opérées dans les directions où les aberrations se décalent les unes par rapport aux autres, et les diverses aberrations qui ne peuvent pas être décalées lorsque la source optique et la pupille optique sont dans la relation de positions conjuguées peuvent être corrigées au moyen de la surface de réfraction.
