- the pupil 9 of the eyeball 8 is used as the exit pupil, and the principal ray passes through the center of the exit pupil (pupil center), while the luminous flux of the principal ray is focused on the display surface 12 a of the flat display element 12.
- the subject 2 looks at the display surface 12a with the display surface 12a as the image formation surface of each principal ray.
- the first lens 19, the mirror 20, and the second lens group 21 constituting the display optical system 11 are replaced with one virtual lens (f- ⁇ lens) 11v for display.
- the focal length of the lens 11v is f
- the incident angle of the principal ray with respect to the lens 11v is ⁇

- the display optical system 11 is composed of the f- ⁇ optical system, the relationship between the incident angle ⁇ and the image height Y is proportional.
- the image height Y on the display surface 12a of the flat display element 12 is changed according to the change in the incident angle ⁇ . It will change at the same rate (magnification) as ⁇ .
- the target is detected regardless of whether the target is on the optical axis or off the optical axis.
- the visual effect per pixel given to the person is the same. That is, even if the incident angle ⁇ changes, if the size of the target displayed on the display surface 12a is the same, the target is viewed on the retina 10 of the same size regardless of the display position of the target.
- a standard image can be formed. Therefore, when a target is displayed with a predetermined number of pixels on the display surface 12a of the flat display element 12, it can be seen by the subject if the target displayed on the display surface 12a has the same size. The size of the target is the same regardless of the display position of the target.

- a configuration is adopted in which the field of view when the subject views the display surface 12a from the eyeball position is narrowed by the lenses (19, 21) of the display optical system 11. Therefore, if the outer shape of each lens (19, 21) is circular when viewed from the optical axis direction, the field of view becomes circular due to the effect of the field stop by this lens frame. In that case, the pincushion type deformation is not perceived at the peripheral edge of the display surface 12a.

ことを特徴とする視覚検査装置である。
ことを特徴とする上記第1の態様に記載の視覚検査装置である。
ことを特徴とする上記第1または第2の態様に記載の視覚検査装置である。
前記使用者に対して画像を表示する平面型表示素子と、
前記使用者の眼球が配置される眼球位置と前記平面型表示素子の表示面との間の光軸上に設けられた表示光学系と、を備え、
前記表示光学系は、前記使用者が前記眼球位置から当該表示光学系を通して画像を見るときの主光線の入射角度と、前記平面型表示素子の表示面における像高との関係が比例関係となる、f-θ光学系によって構成されている
ことを特徴とするヘッドマウント型表示装置である。
本実施の形態においては、本発明をヘッドマウント型の視覚検査装置に適用した場合を例に挙げて説明する。
また、本発明の実施の形態においては、次の順序で説明を行う。
1.視覚検査装置の構成
2.表示光学系の特性
3.視覚検査方法
4.実施の形態の効果
5.他の実施の形態
6.変形例等
図1は本発明の実施の形態に係る視覚検査装置の構成例を示す概略図である。
図示した視覚検査装置1は、被検者2の頭部3に装着して用いられるヘッドマウント型の視覚検査装置である。視覚検査装置1は、大きくは、装置本体5と、この装置本体5に機械的に接続された装着具6と、を備えている。
図示のように、視覚検査装置1は、上述した表示光学系11と平面型表示素子12の他に、被検者の眼球8を観察するための観察光学系15と、この観察光学系15を通して被検者の眼球8を撮像する撮像素子16と、被検者の眼球8に赤外線を照射する赤外光源17と、制御部30と、応答スイッチ31と、を備えている。観察光学系15、撮像素子16および赤外光源17は、上述した表示光学系11や平面型表示素子12と同様に、被検者の左眼用と右眼用でそれぞれ別々に設けられ、制御部30および応答スイッチ31は、1つの視覚検査装置1につき一つずつ設けられるものである。
また、第1レンズ19の焦点距離をf1とし、第2レンズ群21の焦点距離をf2とすると、これらは「0<f1/f2<1.0」の関係を満たしている。さらに、第1レンズ19の焦点距離f1は、第1レンズ19からミラー20までの光学距離aと、ミラー20から第2レンズ群21(レンズ21a)までの光学距離bとの和(a+b)に比べて、それよりも短くなっている。
本実施の形態に係る表示光学系11は、f-θ特性を有する光学系になっている。ここで記述する「f-θ特性」とは、被検者が眼球位置から表示光学系11を通して視標を見るときの主光線の入射角度θと、平面型表示素子12の表示面12aにおける像高Yとの関係が比例関係となる光学的特性をいう。
上記構成からなる視覚検査装置1を使用すれば、動的量的視野検査(ゴールドマン視野検査)、静的量的視野検査、眼底視野検査(マイクロペリメトリー)、網膜電図検査(ERG)その他の検査を行うことが可能である。ここでは一例として、静的量的視野検査を行う場合について説明する。
上述したような視野検査を含む視覚検査を行うにあたって、本実施の形態に係る視覚検査装置1によれば、以下のような効果が得られる。
図3においては、眼球8の瞳孔9を射出瞳とし、この射出瞳の中心(瞳孔中心)を主光線が通過する一方、その主光線の光束が平面型表示素子12の表示面12aに焦点を結んで結像し、その表示面12aを各主光線の光束の結像面として、被検者2が表示面12aを見る場合を想定している。また、表示光学系11を構成する第1レンズ19、ミラー20および第2レンズ群21を、一つの仮想的なレンズ(f-θレンズ)11vに置き換えて表示している。そして、レンズ11vの焦点距離をf、レンズ11vに対する主光線の入射角度をθ、表示面12aにおける像高をYとしている。この場合、レンズ11vの焦点距離fは、第1レンズ19および第2レンズ群21を含むレンズ全体の焦点距離に相当する。
本実施の形態においては、表示光学系11をf-θ光学系で構成しているため、入射角度θと像高Yとの関係が比例関係になる。したがって、たとえば、レンズ11vへの入射角度θが0度から60度まで変化したと仮定すると、平面型表示素子12の表示面12aにおける像高Yは、入射角度θの変化にともなって、入射角度θと同じ割合(倍率)で変化することになる。
ただし、本実施の形態では、被検者が眼球位置から表示面12aを見るときの視野を表示光学系11のレンズ(19,21)によって絞る構成を採用している。このため、各々のレンズ(19,21)の外形が光軸方向から見て円形であれば、このレンズ枠による視野絞りの効果により、視野が円形となる。その場合には表示面12aの周縁部で糸巻き型の変形は知覚されない。
本発明は、視覚検査装置として具現化するだけでなく、ヘッドマウント型表示装置(Head Mounted Display)として具現化することも可能である。その場合、ヘッドマウント型表示装置の構成としては、「被検者」を「使用者」に置き換えたものになるとともに、上述した視覚検査装置1の各構成要素のうち、視覚検査に特化した構成要素(撮像素子16、赤外光源17、第3レンズ22)は不要となる。すなわち、眼球位置には、ヘッドマウント型表示装置を使用する使用者の眼球8が配置され、この眼球位置側から順に、第1レンズ19、ミラー20、第2レンズ群21および平面型表示素子12を光軸18(18a,18b)上に配置した構成となる。
本発明の技術的範囲は上述した実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、発明の構成要件やその組み合わせによって得られる特定の効果を導き出せる範囲において、種々の変更や改良を加えた形態も含む。
図5においては、表示光学系11の第2レンズ群21に属するレンズ21cを、図示しないレンズ移動機構により光軸方向に移動可能とした点が、上記実施の形態と異なっている。この構成を採用した場合は、被検者の視力に合わせて視度を調整することが可能となる。
一方、図6においては、表示光学系11の第2レンズ群21をレンズ(凸レンズ)21dの追加により計4つのレンズ21a~21dを用いて構成した点と、平面型表示素子12の表示面12aの大きさを小さくした点が、上記実施の形態と異なっている。この構成を採用した場合は、被検者に対して、より鮮明に視標を表示することが可能となる。また、この構成においても、レンズ21cを光軸方向に移動可能な構成とすることにより、被検者の視力に合わせて視度を調整することが可能となる。
