Description

一种多背光光源的显示模组Display module with multiple backlight light sources 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及三维显示技术领域,更具体涉及一种多背光光源的显示模组。The present invention relates to the field of three-dimensional display technology, and more specifically to a display module with multiple backlight sources.
背景技术Background technique
相对于传统二维显示,三维显示可以提供更多的维度信息,正受到越来多的关注。现有三维显示技术主要是利用双目视差原理,向观察者双目分别投射各自对应的一幅二维图像,通过双目视向的交叉激发大脑的深度感知,实现三维视觉的呈现。各目为了看清楚对应的二维图像,需一直聚焦于显示面,而双目的视向需要交叉于出屏的显示场景以实现深度感知,由此导致聚焦-会聚冲突问题,即观察者单目聚焦深度和双目会聚深度的不一致。自然情况下,观察者观察真实的三维场景时,单目聚焦深度和双目会聚深度一致于观察者关注点的空间深度。所以,传统仅基于双目视差实现三维显示的光学设备,其固有聚焦-会聚冲突有悖于人体自然进化的生理习惯,由此导致观察者的视觉不适,是目前阻碍三维显示技术推广应用的瓶颈性问题。Compared with the traditional two-dimensional display, the three-dimensional display can provide more dimensional information and is receiving more and more attention. The existing three-dimensional display technology mainly uses the principle of binocular parallax to project a corresponding two-dimensional image to the observer's binoculars, and stimulate the depth perception of the brain through the cross of binocular viewing directions to realize the presentation of three-dimensional vision. In order to see the corresponding two-dimensional image clearly, each eye needs to always focus on the display surface, and the binocular viewing direction needs to cross the display scene out of the screen to realize depth perception. The depth of focus and binocular convergence are inconsistent. Under natural circumstances, when an observer observes a real three-dimensional scene, the monocular focus depth and binocular convergence depth are consistent with the spatial depth of the observer's focus. Therefore, traditional optical devices that only realize 3D display based on binocular parallax have inherent focus-convergence conflicts that are contrary to the natural evolutionary physiological habits of the human body, resulting in visual discomfort for the observer, which is currently a bottleneck hindering the promotion and application of 3D display technology. Sexual issues.
单目多图像(PCT/CN2017/080874,THREE-DIMENTIONAL DISPLAY SYSTEM BASED ON DIVISION MULTIPLEXING OF VIEWER'S ENTRANCE-PUPIL AND DISPLAY METHOD)和麦克斯韦投射法(maxwellian view)(US2019/0204600,AUGMENTED REALITY OPTICS SYSTEM WITH PINPOINT MIRROR)是两种可以解决聚焦-会聚冲突问题的技术路径。前者,显示器件向观察者各目分别投射至少两个待显示场景的二维图像,以实现过各显示物点至少两束光束入射观察者的瞳孔,该至少两束光束空间叠加形成光斑,该叠加光斑处的光强分布于一定深度范围内具有足够的牵引能力,可以牵引观察者眼睛自由聚焦于该叠加光斑,克服上述聚焦-会聚冲突问题。后者,各像素向观察者眼睛投射一束小发散度的光束,沿传输方向上该光束具有较小的光强变化,从而,于传输路径上的一定深度范围内,光束于各深度上的光强分布对观察者单目聚焦的牵引能力差别不大,则双目会聚可以牵引观察者单目在该深度范围内自由聚焦于双目会聚深度,实现单目聚焦深度和双目会聚深度的一致。Multi-images per eye (PCT/CN2017/080874, THREE-DIMENTIONAL DISPLAY SYSTEM BASED ON DIVISION MULTIPLEXING OF VIEWER'S ENTRANCE-PUPIL AND DISPLAY MEHOD) and Maxwell projection method (maxwellian view) (US2019/0204600, INT WITH RRTIC view) There are two technical paths that can solve the problem of focus-convergence conflict. In the former, the display device projects at least two two-dimensional images of the scene to be displayed to each eye of the observer, so as to realize that at least two light beams enter the pupil of the observer through each display object point, and the at least two light beams are spatially superimposed to form a light spot. The light intensity distribution at the superimposed spot has sufficient traction capability within a certain depth range, and can draw the observer's eyes to freely focus on the superimposed spot, and overcome the above-mentioned focus-convergence conflict problem. In the latter, each pixel projects a light beam with a small divergence to the observer’s eye, and the light beam has a small change in light intensity along the transmission direction. Therefore, within a certain depth range on the transmission path, the light beam has a small divergence. The light intensity distribution has little difference in the traction ability of the observer's monocular focus, then the binocular convergence can lead the observer's monocular to freely focus on the binocular convergence depth within this depth range, to achieve the monocular focus depth and the binocular convergence depth Unanimous.

The sequential line light source array includes more than one line light source, and each line light source is switched on and off sequentially in each cycle formed by adjacent time points, and only one line light source is turned on at a time point; wherein the sequential point light source array includes more than one line light source. For one point light source, each point light source is switched on and off sequentially in each cycle formed by adjacent time points, and only one point light source is turned on at a time point.

实施例1Example 1
本专利的一种多背光光源的显示模组包括时序线光源阵列110、显示器件20、会聚器件30、光路引导器件40、控制器件60。该一种多背光光源的显示模组还可以包括其他组件。其中时序线光源阵列110包括多于一个的线光源,各线光源在相邻时间点组成的各循环周期内时序循环开关,且在一个时间点仅一个线光源被打开。各线光源出射光经会聚器件30或会聚器件30及其它组件向对应会聚像会聚。显示器件20置于线光源阵列110出射光传输路径上,加载待显示场景的二维投射图像信息,在光路引导器件40的引导下,时序投射至线光源会聚像附近的观察者瞳孔50所处区域。设计显示器件20于各循环周期内投射待显示场景的至少两个图像信息入射观察者瞳孔,基于单目多图像实现克服聚焦-会聚冲突的三维显示。A display module with multiple backlight sources of this patent includes a sequential line light source array 110, a display device 20, a convergence device 30, a light path guiding device 40, and a control device 60. The display module with multiple backlight sources may also include other components. The sequential line light source array 110 includes more than one line light sources, and each line light source is switched on and off sequentially in each cycle formed by adjacent time points, and only one line light source is turned on at a time point. The light emitted from each line light source is converged to the corresponding convergent image through the converging device 30 or the converging device 30 and other components. The display device 20 is placed on the light transmission path of the line light source array 110, and loads the two-dimensional projected image information of the scene to be displayed. Under the guidance of the light path guide device 40, it is projected to the pupil 50 of the observer near the convergent image of the line light source. area. The display device 20 is designed to project at least two image information of the scene to be displayed into the pupil of the observer in each cycle, and realize a three-dimensional display that overcomes the focus-convergence conflict based on the single-eye multi-image.
图1所示为采用线光源的显示模组的基本结构,包括时序线光源阵列110、显示器件20、会聚器件30、光路引导器件40和控制器件60,控制器件60,分别与所述时序线光源阵列110和所述显示器件20连接,。其中,时序线光源阵列110包括M≧2个线光源。该M个线光源出射光被会聚器件30向对应会聚像会聚。图1以M=3为例。M=3个z向线光源LS 1、LS 2、LS 3沿y向排列,经会聚器件30,其出射光分别被会聚至对应会聚像I LS1、I LS2、I LS3。显示器件20以各线光源投射光为背光,置于时序线光源阵列110投射光的传输路径上,调制加载并投射光信息。光路引导器件40可以是单个器件,也可以包括多个组件,置于时序线光源阵列110投射光的传播路径上,引导显示器件20投射光信息入射观察者瞳孔50所处区域。图1所示模组中,光路引导器件40包括三个反射面401a、401b、401c,分别置于M=3个线光源对应会聚像I LS1、I LS2、I LS3处。在相邻M=3个时间点组成的各循环周期内,各线光源由控制器件60控制,时序开关,且在一个时间点,仅一个线光源打开。具体地,在时间点t,仅线光源LS 1打开,LS 2和LS 3均关闭,线光源LS 1投射光经显示器件20调制,携带光信息经会聚器件30投射至线光源LS 1的会聚像I LS1处,然后被线光源会聚像I LS1处的反射面401a反射,向观察者瞳孔50所处区域传播;在时间点t+Δt/3,仅线光源LS 2打开,LS 1和LS 3均关闭,线光源LS 2投射光经显示器件20调制,携带光信息经会聚器件30投射至线光源LS 2的会聚像I LS2处,然后被会聚像I LS2处的反射面401b反射,向观察者瞳孔50所处区域传播;如此类推。在各时间点,显示器件20各像素所加载光信息,为沿该像素所投射的、入射观察者瞳孔50所处区域的光束的矢向,待显示场景于该矢向和观察者瞳孔50所处面的交点上的投影信息,该各像素所加载信息,组成待显示场景的一个二维投射图像。则,于一个循环周期内,向观察者瞳孔50所处区域投射带待显示场景的M=3个二维投射图像。相邻线光源会聚像间距小于一定值时,观察者瞳孔50可以接收到来自显示器件20的至少两个二维投射图像。则过一个显示物点,至少两束光束入射观察者瞳孔50,从而基于单目多图像实现无聚焦-会聚冲突的三维显示。上述过程中,观察者瞳孔50可能无法接收到至少两个完整二维投射图像对应的所有光束,例如偏离线光源会聚像较远时。实际上,不同二维投射图像的不同部分可以拼连形成拼合型二维投射图像。该类拼合型二维投射图像所包含像素的数目,等于二维投射图像的像素数目,其像素分布范围和二维投射图像的像素分布范围一致。进行单目多图 像显示,要求在一个循环周期内,投射至少两个待显示场景的图像入射观察者瞳孔50。该两个图像可以为二维投射图像,也可以是拼合型二维投射图像。也就是说,要求在各循环周期内,显示器件20各像素在有对应光信息加载的情况下,投射至少两束光束入射观察者瞳孔50。 Figure 1 shows the basic structure of a display module using a line light source, including a timing line light source array 110, a display device 20, a convergence device 30, a light path guiding device 40, and a control device 60. The control device 60 is connected to the timing line. The light source array 110 is connected to the display device 20. Wherein, the sequential line light source array 110 includes M≧2 line light sources. The light emitted by the M line light sources is condensed toward the corresponding convergent image by the condensing device 30. Figure 1 takes M=3 as an example. M=3 z-direction line light sources LS 1 , LS 2 , and LS 3 are arranged along the y direction, and the light emitted by the converging device 30 is respectively converged to the corresponding convergent images I LS1 , I LS2 , and I LS3 . The display device 20 uses the light projected by each line light source as a backlight, is placed on the transmission path of the light projected by the sequential line light source array 110, and modulates, loads and projects light information. The light path guiding device 40 may be a single device or may include multiple components, and is placed on the propagation path of the light projected by the sequential line light source array 110 to guide the display device 20 to project light information into the area where the pupil 50 of the observer is located. In the module shown in FIG. 1, the light path guiding device 40 includes three reflecting surfaces 401a, 401b, and 401c, which are respectively placed at the convergent images I LS1 , I LS2 , and I LS3 corresponding to M=3 line light sources. In each cycle composed of adjacent M=3 time points, each line light source is controlled by the control device 60 and timed on and off, and at one time point, only one line light source is turned on. Specifically, at time point t, only the line light source LS 1 is turned on, and both LS 2 and LS 3 are turned off. The light projected by the line light source LS 1 is modulated by the display device 20, and the light information is projected to the convergence of the line light source LS 1 via the converging device 30. The image I LS1 is then reflected by the reflecting surface 401a at the convergent image I LS1 of the line light source, and propagates to the area where the pupil 50 of the observer is located; at the time point t+Δt/3, only the line light source LS 2 is turned on, LS 1 and LS 3 are all turned off, the light projected by the line light source LS 2 is modulated by the display device 20, and the light information is projected to the convergent image I LS2 of the line light source LS 2 through the converging device 30, and then is reflected by the reflective surface 401b at the convergent image I LS2. The area where the pupil 50 of the observer is spread; and so on. At each point in time, the light information loaded by each pixel of the display device 20 is along the sagittal direction of the light beam projected by the pixel and incident on the area where the pupil 50 of the observer is located. The projection information at the intersection point of each pixel, and the information loaded by each pixel, constitute a two-dimensional projection image of the scene to be displayed. Then, in one cycle, M=3 two-dimensional projection images with the scene to be displayed are projected to the area where the pupil 50 of the observer is located. When the distance between the convergent images of adjacent line light sources is less than a certain value, the pupil 50 of the observer can receive at least two two-dimensional projected images from the display device 20. Then, after one display object point, at least two light beams enter the pupil 50 of the observer, so that a three-dimensional display without focus-convergence conflict is realized based on the monocular multi-image. In the above process, the pupil 50 of the observer may not be able to receive all the light beams corresponding to at least two complete two-dimensional projected images, for example, when the convergent image deviates from the line light source far away. In fact, different parts of different two-dimensional projected images can be spliced together to form a spliced two-dimensional projected image. The number of pixels contained in this type of split two-dimensional projected image is equal to the number of pixels of the two-dimensional projected image, and its pixel distribution range is consistent with the pixel distribution range of the two-dimensional projected image. To perform monocular multi-image display, it is required to project at least two images of the scene to be displayed into the pupil 50 of the observer in one cycle. The two images may be two-dimensional projected images, or a split-type two-dimensional projected image. In other words, it is required that in each cycle period, each pixel of the display device 20 projects at least two light beams to enter the pupil 50 of the observer under the condition that corresponding light information is loaded.
以线光源为背光,显示器件20各像素出射光束为一维发散光,于线光源的线向对应存在一个发散面。该发射面的空间方位可能随着光束的传输而变化,但该发射面一致存在。上述“在各时间点,显示器件20各像素所加载光信息,为沿该像素所投射的、入射观察者瞳孔50所处区域的光束的矢向”中的光束矢向,于该光束发散面内,往往设置为指向观察者瞳孔50经常出现的位置。或者,引入追踪器件80,该追踪器件80与控制器件60连接,实时确定观察者瞳孔50的位置,并实时设置各像素出射光束的矢向,于其发散面内指向观察者瞳孔50的实时位置。Using a line light source as a backlight, the light beam emitted from each pixel of the display device 20 is a one-dimensional diverging light, and there is a diverging surface corresponding to the line direction of the line light source. The spatial orientation of the emitting surface may change with the transmission of the light beam, but the emitting surface is uniformly present. The beam vector in the above "At each point in time, the light information loaded by each pixel of the display device 20 is along the sagittal direction of the beam projected by the pixel and incident on the area where the pupil 50 of the observer is located", in the beam divergence plane, It is often set to point to a position where the pupil 50 of the observer often appears. Alternatively, a tracking device 80 is introduced, which is connected to the control device 60 to determine the position of the pupil 50 of the observer in real time, and set the sagittal direction of the light beam emitted by each pixel in real time to point to the real-time position of the pupil 50 of the observer in its divergence plane.
沿光束传输方向,会聚器件30置于显示器件20前时,会聚器件30的调制功能还表现在成显示器件20的放大虚像。另外,沿光束传输方向,显示器件20还可以置于会聚器件30前,如图2所示。本专利一种多背光光源的显示模组中,还可以于时序线光源阵列110和显示器件20之间引入前置会聚器件70,调制各线光源投射背光入射显示器件20时的发散度。图3中,前置会聚器件70取透镜为例,各线光源置于该前置会聚器件70的前焦面上。各光源上的发光点,经前置会聚器件70投射平行光束入射显示器件20。实际上,各线光源和前置会聚器件70的位置设置,也可以使各线光源上的发光点出射光,经前置会聚器件70,以发散态或会聚态入射显示器件20。进一步的,各线光源沿投射光传输方向,也可以错位放置,如图4所示。When the converging device 30 is placed in front of the display device 20 along the light beam transmission direction, the modulation function of the converging device 30 also appears as an enlarged virtual image of the display device 20. In addition, along the light beam transmission direction, the display device 20 can also be placed in front of the converging device 30, as shown in FIG. 2. In a display module with multiple backlight sources of this patent, a front convergent device 70 can be introduced between the sequential line light source array 110 and the display device 20 to modulate the divergence of each line light source when the backlight is incident on the display device 20. In FIG. 3, the front converging device 70 takes a lens as an example, and each line light source is placed on the front focal plane of the front converging device 70. The light-emitting points on each light source project parallel light beams into the display device 20 through the front converging device 70. In fact, the position of each line light source and the front converging device 70 can also be such that the luminous points on each line light source emit light, which enters the display device 20 in a divergent state or a convergent state through the front converging device 70. Further, each line light source can also be placed in a staggered position along the transmission direction of the projected light, as shown in FIG. 4.
光路引导器件40用以调整本专利所述显示模组的光束传输路径,以使之适用于各种应用环境。例如,以上各图中,各线光源会聚像处所置的反射面,作为光路引导器件40的组件,其一致于线光源会聚像的长条状,可以允许通过该各反射面之间的空隙,接收外部环境光信息。另外,该各反射面尺寸和位置合理设计,也可以起低通或带通滤波功能。若不需要外部环境光的应用中,以上各图中,线光源会聚像处的多个反射面,可以去除,或者用一个整体反射面代替,且该整体反射面,可以偏离各线光源会聚像放置。这时,观察者瞳孔50可以被设计置于线光源会聚像处,甚至更接近会聚器件30处。进一步的,光路引导器件40可 以设计为其它多种不同的结构,如图5至图8所示范例。图5中,增加组件反射面402至光路引导器件40,更有利于显示模组结构的紧凑化。图6所示为采用反射式显示器件20的一种光路结构。光路引导器件40由偏光片403、偏光分光面404、1/4波片405和置于各正交特性子线光源会聚像处的反射面401a、401b、401c、401d组成。偏光片403起偏入射光,使之以“‐”态线偏光入射偏光分光面404并透射,随后经1/4波片405入射反射式显示器件20进行信息加载。反射式显示器件20投射光携带光信息二次入射1/4波片405,被转换为偏光方向和“‐”态线偏光的偏光方向相互垂直的“·”态线偏光,再经偏光分光面404反射,向会聚器件30传播。其中,偏光分光面404透射“‐”态线偏光,反射“·”态线偏光。进一步,以半透半反面406代替图6中的偏光分光面404,如图7,该情况下,不再需要偏光片403和1/4波片405。图5至图7中,置于各线光源会聚像处的反射面作为光路引导器件40的组件被保留,以4个为例示出。图8采用自由曲面光组件作为引导器件40,且复合了会聚器件30。其中,自由曲面F3、F2和F4作为引导器件40的组件,自由曲面F1、F2、F3和F4起会聚器件30的作用。另外,自由曲面F5消除自由曲面F2和F4对外部环境入射光的影响,允许外部环境光和显示场景一起入射观察者瞳孔50。The light path guiding device 40 is used to adjust the light beam transmission path of the display module described in this patent to make it suitable for various application environments. For example, in the above figures, the reflective surface where the convergent image of each line light source is placed is a component of the light path guide device 40, which is consistent with the strip shape of the convergent image of the line light source, and can allow passing through the gap between the reflective surfaces. Receive external ambient light information. In addition, the size and position of each reflecting surface are reasonably designed, and it can also play a low-pass or band-pass filter function. If there is no need for external ambient light applications, in the above figures, the multiple reflective surfaces where the line light sources converge can be removed or replaced with a whole reflective surface, and the integral reflective surface can deviate from the convergent image of the line light sources place. At this time, the pupil 50 of the observer can be designed to be placed at the convergent image of the line light source, or even closer to the convergent device 30. Further, the optical path guiding device 40 can be designed in a variety of other different structures, as shown in the examples shown in Figs. 5 to 8. In FIG. 5, adding the component reflection surface 402 to the light path guiding device 40 is more conducive to the compactness of the display module structure. FIG. 6 shows an optical path structure using a reflective display device 20. As shown in FIG. The optical path guiding device 40 is composed of a polarizer 403, a polarization beam splitting surface 404, a quarter-wave plate 405, and reflecting surfaces 401a, 401b, 401c, and 401d placed at the convergent image of each orthogonal characteristic sub-line light source. The polarizer 403 polarizes the incident light so that it enters the polarized light splitting surface 404 with the "-" state linearly polarized light and transmits it, and then enters the reflective display device 20 through the quarter wave plate 405 for information loading. The light projected by the reflective display device 20 carries light information and enters the quarter-wave plate 405 for a second time, and is converted into the "·" state linear polarization with the polarization direction and the polarization direction of the "-" state linear polarization perpendicular to each other, and then passes through the polarization splitting surface. 404 reflects and propagates to the converging device 30. Among them, the polarized light splitting surface 404 transmits linearly polarized light in the "-" state and reflects linearly polarized light in the "·" state. Further, the polarized light splitting surface 404 in FIG. 6 is replaced by a semi-transmissive and semi-reversed surface 406, as shown in FIG. 7. In this case, the polarizer 403 and the quarter-wave plate 405 are no longer needed. In FIGS. 5 to 7, the reflective surface placed at the convergent image of each line light source is reserved as a component of the light path guiding device 40, and four are shown as an example. FIG. 8 uses a free-form surface optical component as the guiding device 40, and the converging device 30 is compounded. Among them, the free-form surfaces F3, F2, and F4 are used as components of the guiding device 40, and the free-form surfaces F1, F2, F3, and F4 function as the converging device 30. In addition, the free-form surface F5 eliminates the influence of the free-form surfaces F2 and F4 on the incident light of the external environment, and allows the external environment light and the display scene to enter the pupil 50 of the observer together.
本实施例采用线光源的一种多背光光源的显示模组中,更大的M值,有利于更大视区的获取。但也同时对显示器件20的帧率也提出更高的要求。线光源的采用,仅需考虑沿线光源排列方向上的视区扩展,沿另一个方向的视区扩展无需考虑,可以降低容纳观察者瞳孔50对准偏差所需二维视区对显示器件20帧率的要求。另外,根据追踪器件80所实时确定的观察者瞳孔50空间位置,从时序线光源阵列110的M个线光源中,由控制器件60实时选择实现单目多图像所必须的K个作为有效线光源,K<M,并控制该K个有效线光源在相邻K个时间点组成的各有效循环周期内时序开关进行显示,也可以降低对显示器件20帧频的要求。In this embodiment of a display module with multiple backlight light sources using linear light sources, a larger M value is beneficial to obtaining a larger viewing area. However, at the same time, higher requirements are also put on the frame rate of the display device 20. The use of line light sources only needs to consider the expansion of the viewing area along the direction of the line light source arrangement, and the expansion of the viewing area along the other direction does not need to be considered, which can reduce the alignment deviation of the pupil 50 of the observer. The required two-dimensional viewing area is 20 frames for the display device. Rate requirements. In addition, according to the spatial position of the observer’s pupil 50 determined in real time by the tracking device 80, from the M line light sources of the sequential line light source array 110, the control device 60 selects in real time K necessary for realizing monocular multi-images as effective line light sources. , K<M, and controlling the K effective line light sources to switch on and off for display in each effective cycle period composed of adjacent K time points, which can also reduce the requirement for the 20 frame rate of the display device.
当M取值较大时,显示器件20投射光可以覆盖观察者双目,且各目均可以接收到待显示场景的至少两个图像时,本专利一种多背光光源的显示模组可以独立作为三维显示系统的光学引擎。其它的,本专利一种多背光光源的显示模组可以作为一个目镜,仅向观察者的一个眼睛投射两个或两个以上的图像,利用两个该模组搭建双目显示系统,例如AR/VR,的光学引擎。When the value of M is large, the light projected by the display device 20 can cover the eyes of the observer, and each eye can receive at least two images of the scene to be displayed, the display module of this patent with multiple backlight sources can be independent As the optical engine of the 3D display system. In addition, a display module with multiple backlight sources of this patent can be used as an eyepiece, only projecting two or more images to one eye of the observer, and using two such modules to build a binocular display system, such as AR /VR, the optical engine.
上述各种结构中,时序线光源阵列110的各线光源,也可以分别由L≧2个正交特性子线光源组成,该L个正交特性子线光源和L种正交特性一一对应,分别仅出射具有对应正交特性的光。此时,要求所述显示器件20也具有正交特性:沿至少一个方向,其间隔(L-1)个像素的像素分别成组,显示器件20的像素共形成为L个正交特性像素组,该L个像素组和各线光源的L个正交特性子线光源分别一一对应。各正交特性像素组的像素仅允许对应正交特性子线光源投射光入射调制,截止其它正交特性子线光源投射光。同一线光源的L个正交特性子线光源,在一个时间点同步地打开或关闭。这样,在各个时间点,显示器件20的L个正交特性像素组等效为L个显示屏,通过对应同步打开的L个正交特性子线光源,互不相干地分别投射待显示场景的L个二维投射图像。对比地,在未采用正交特性子线光源的设计时,显示器件20作为1个显示屏,在各时间点,通过同步打开的对应线光源,仅投射待显示场景的1个二维投射图像。所以,正交特性子线光源的引入,通过牺牲所投射二维投影图像的分辨率,将一个循环周期内所能投射二维投射图像的数目提高至M×L个。图9以M×L=3×2示例说明正交特性像素组的像素成组规则和正交特性子线光源的排列方式。该M×L=6个z向正交特性子线光源沿一维y向排列,L=2个正交特性取为相互垂直的线向偏光态“·”和“‐”。具体地,线光源LS 1包括L=2个正交特性子线光源LS 11和LS 12;线光源LS 2包括L=2个正交特性子线光源LS 21和LS 22;线光源LS 3包括L=2个正交特性子线光源LS 31和LS 32。其中,正交特性子线光源LS 11、LS 21、LS 31仅出射“‐”正交特性光,正交特性子线光源LS 12、LS 22、LS 32仅出射“‐”正交特性光。沿y向,显示器件20间隔L-1=1个像素的像素成组,也即图中分别以“·”和“‐”标注的像素各自成组,组成L=2个正交特性像素组,分别命名为“·”态正交特性像素组和“‐”态正交特性像素组,它们对应分别仅允许“·”态光和“‐”态光入射并对其调制。图9所示模组中,光路引导器件40包括M×L=6个反射面401a、401b、401c、401d、401e、401f,分别置正交特性子线光源会聚像I LS11、I LS21、I LS31、I LS12、I LS22、I LS32处。在相邻M=3个时间点组成的各循环周期内,各线光源由控制器件60控制,时序开关,且在一个时间点,仅一个线光源的L=2个正交特性子线光源同时被打开。例如在时间点t,仅正交特性子线光源LS 11和LS 12打开时,“·”态正交特性像素组以正交特性子线光源A 12投射光为背光进行光信息加载和投射,“‐”态正交特性像素组以正交特性子 线光源A 11投射光为背光进行光信息加载和投射,如图9。其中,各像素在各时间点所加载光信息,为沿该时间点该像素所投射的、入射观察者瞳孔50所处区域的光束的矢向,待显示场景于该矢向和观察者瞳孔50所处面的交点上的投影信息。则一个循环周期,M×L=6个待显示场景的二维投射图像被投射至观察者瞳孔50所处区域。当观察者瞳孔50可以接收到至少两个二维投射图像的光信息时,过一个显示物点,至少两束光束入射观察者瞳孔50,从而基于单目多图像实现无聚焦-会聚冲突的三维显示。上述过程中,显示器件20的正交特性像素组的分组方式,也可以是沿两个方向,间隔(L-1)个像素的像素成组,如图10所示。该过程中,观察者瞳孔50可能无法接收到两个完整二维投射图像对应的所有光束,例如偏离正交特性子线光源会聚像较远时。实际上,不同二维投射图像的不同部分可以拼连形成拼合型二维投射图像。该类拼合型二维投射图像所包含像素的数目,等于二维投射图像的像素数目,其像素分布范围和二维投射图像的像素分布范围一致。实现单目多图像显示,要求在一个循环周期内,投射至少两个待显示场景的图像给观察者瞳孔50,该两个图像可以为二维投射图像,也可以是拼合型二维投射图像。或者说,要求在各循环周期内,显示器件20各像素在有对应光信息加载的情况下,投射至观察者瞳孔50的光束的束数,至少等于两个正交特性像素组所包含像素的个数。 In the above-mentioned various structures, each line light source of the sequential line light source array 110 may also be composed of L≧2 orthogonal characteristic sub-line light sources, and the L orthogonal characteristic sub-line light sources correspond to L kinds of orthogonal characteristics in a one-to-one correspondence. , Each only emits light with corresponding orthogonal characteristics. At this time, the display device 20 is required to also have orthogonal characteristics: along at least one direction, pixels with an interval of (L-1) pixels are respectively grouped, and the pixels of the display device 20 form a total of L orthogonal characteristic pixel groups. , The L pixel groups correspond to the L orthogonal characteristic sub-line light sources of each line light source respectively. The pixels of each orthogonal characteristic pixel group only allow the projection light of the corresponding orthogonal characteristic sub-line light source to be incident and modulated, and cut off the projection light of other orthogonal characteristic sub-line light sources. The L sub-line light sources with orthogonal characteristics of the same line light source are simultaneously turned on or off at a time point. In this way, at each point in time, the L orthogonal characteristic pixel groups of the display device 20 are equivalent to L display screens, and the L orthogonal characteristic sub-line light sources that are turned on correspondingly and synchronously project the scenes to be displayed independently of each other. L two-dimensional projected images. In contrast, when the orthogonal characteristic sub-line light source design is not adopted, the display device 20 is used as a display screen, and at each time point, only one two-dimensional projection image of the scene to be displayed is projected through the corresponding line light source that is turned on synchronously. . Therefore, the introduction of the orthogonal characteristic sub-line light source increases the number of two-dimensional projected images that can be projected in one cycle to M×L by sacrificing the resolution of the projected two-dimensional projected image. Fig. 9 illustrates the pixel grouping rule of the orthogonal characteristic pixel group and the arrangement of the orthogonal characteristic sub-line light sources by taking M×L=3×2 as an example. The M×L=6 z-direction orthogonal characteristic sub-line light sources are arranged along the one-dimensional y-direction, and L=2 orthogonal characteristics are taken as mutually perpendicular linear polarization states "·" and "-". Specifically, the line light source LS 1 includes L=2 orthogonal characteristic sub-line light sources LS 11 and LS 12 ; the line light source LS 2 includes L=2 orthogonal characteristic sub-line light sources LS 21 and LS 22 ; the line light source LS 3 includes L=2 orthogonal characteristic sub-line light sources LS 31 and LS 32 . Among them, the orthogonal characteristic sub-line light sources LS 11 , LS 21 , and LS 31 only emit "-" orthogonal characteristic light, and the orthogonal characteristic sub-line light sources LS 12 , LS 22 and LS 32 only emit "-" orthogonal characteristic light. Along the y direction, the pixels of the display device 20 with an interval of L-1=1 pixels are grouped, that is, the pixels marked with "·" and "-" in the figure are grouped into groups, forming L=2 orthogonal characteristic pixel groups , Respectively named the "·" state orthogonal characteristic pixel group and the "-" state orthogonal characteristic pixel group, which correspond to allowing only the "·" state light and the "-" state light to enter and modulate them respectively. In the module shown in Fig. 9, the optical path guiding device 40 includes M×L=6 reflecting surfaces 401a, 401b, 401c, 401d, 401e, 401f, and the orthogonal characteristic sub-line light source convergent images I LS11 , I LS21 , I LS31 , I LS12 , I LS22 , I LS32 . In each cycle composed of adjacent M=3 time points, each line light source is controlled by the control device 60 and timed on and off, and at one time point, only one line light source has L=2 orthogonal characteristic sub-line light sources at the same time Was opened. For example, at time t, when only the orthogonal characteristic sub-line light sources LS 11 and LS 12 are turned on, the "·" state orthogonal characteristic pixel group uses the projection light of the orthogonal characteristic sub-line light source A 12 as the backlight to load and project light information. The "-" state orthogonal characteristic pixel group uses the projection light of the orthogonal characteristic sub-line light source A 11 as the backlight to load and project light information, as shown in Figure 9. The light information loaded by each pixel at each time point is the sagittal direction of the light beam projected by the pixel at that time point and incident on the area where the observer’s pupil 50 is located, and the scene to be displayed is at the sagittal direction and where the observer’s pupil 50 is located. The projection information on the intersection of the faces. In one cycle, M×L=6 two-dimensional projected images of the scene to be displayed are projected to the area where the pupil 50 of the observer is located. When the pupil 50 of the observer can receive the optical information of at least two two-dimensional projected images, at least two beams enter the pupil 50 of the observer through a display object point, thereby realizing a three-dimensional without focus-convergence conflict based on the monocular multi-image show. In the above process, the grouping manner of the orthogonal characteristic pixel groups of the display device 20 can also be grouping of pixels separated by (L-1) pixels in two directions, as shown in FIG. 10. In this process, the pupil 50 of the observer may not be able to receive all the light beams corresponding to the two complete two-dimensional projected images, for example, when the convergent image of the sub-line light source deviates from the orthogonal characteristic far away. In fact, different parts of different two-dimensional projected images can be spliced together to form a spliced two-dimensional projected image. The number of pixels contained in this type of split two-dimensional projected image is equal to the number of pixels of the two-dimensional projected image, and its pixel distribution range is consistent with the pixel distribution range of the two-dimensional projected image. To realize single-eye multi-image display, it is required to project at least two images of the scene to be displayed to the pupil 50 of the observer within one cycle. The two images may be two-dimensional projected images or split two-dimensional projected images. In other words, it is required that the number of light beams projected to the pupil 50 of the observer with the corresponding light information loaded in each pixel of the display device 20 in each cycle period is at least equal to that of the pixels contained in the two orthogonal characteristic pixel groups. Number.
各时序线光源阵列110的各线光源,分别由L≧2个正交特性子线光源组成时,根据追踪器件80所实时确定的观察者瞳孔50空间位置,也可以从时序线光源阵列110的M个线光源中,由控制器件60实时选择满足单目多图像要求的K个线光源作为有效线光源,2≦K<M,并控制该K个有效线光源在相邻K个时间点组成的各有效循环周期内时序开关,同理进行显示。还有一种情况,是在一个时间点,仅一个线光源的L个正交特性子线光源即可满足单目多视图显示的要求。该情况下,在各时间点,根据追踪器件80所确定观察者瞳孔50的空间位置,由控制器件60实时确定满足单目多图像显示所需要求的线光源作为有效线光源,控制器件60控制该有效正交特性光源的L个正交特性子线光源投射打开,并同步以对应光信息刷新显示器件20各像素。When each line light source of each sequential line light source array 110 is composed of L≧2 orthogonal characteristic sub-line light sources, the spatial position of the observer’s pupil 50 determined in real time by the tracking device 80 can also be obtained from the time sequence line light source array 110 Among the M line light sources, the control device 60 selects K line light sources that meet the requirements of monocular multi-image in real time as effective line light sources, 2≦K<M, and controls the K effective line light sources to be composed at adjacent K time points The time sequence switch in each valid cycle period of, the same is displayed. In another case, at one point in time, only L sub-line light sources with orthogonal characteristics of one line light source can meet the requirements of monocular multi-view display. In this case, at each point in time, according to the spatial position of the observer’s pupil 50 determined by the tracking device 80, the control device 60 determines in real time the line light source that meets the requirements for monocular multi-image display as the effective line light source, and the control device 60 controls The L orthogonal characteristic sub-line light sources of the effective orthogonal characteristic light source are projected and turned on, and each pixel of the display device 20 is refreshed synchronously with corresponding light information.

Among them, the sequential point light source array 120 includes M≧2 point light sources, and each point light source is composed of L≧2 orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources. Each point light source has L orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources and L orthogonal characteristic. There is a one-to-one correspondence, and only the light with the corresponding orthogonal characteristic is emitted. The light emitted by the M×L orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources of the M point light sources is condensed toward the corresponding converging image by the condensing device 30. Figure 11 takes M=3 and L=2 as an example. M×L=6 orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources PS 11 , PS 12 , PS 21 , PS 22 , PS 31 , PS 32 are arranged along the y direction, and the light emitted by the converging device 30 is respectively converged to the corresponding convergent image I PS11 , I PS12 , I PS21 , I PS22 , I PS31 , I PS32 . The display device 20 uses the light emitted by each orthogonal characteristic sub-point light source as a backlight, and is placed on the transmission path of the projected light to modulate, load and project light information. The light path guiding device 40 may be a single device or may include multiple components, which are placed on the propagation path of the light projected by each orthogonal characteristic sub-point light source, and guide the light projected by the display device 20 to transmit to the area where the pupil 50 of the observer is located. The display device 20 also has orthogonal characteristics: along at least one direction, pixels with an interval of (L-1) pixels are grouped respectively, and the pixels of the display device 20 are formed into a total of L orthogonal characteristic pixel groups, and the L The pixel group and the L orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources of each point light source are in one-to-one correspondence respectively. The pixels of each orthogonal characteristic pixel group only allow the projection light of the corresponding orthogonal characteristic sub-point light source to be incident modulation, and cut off the projection light of other non-corresponding orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources. The L sub-point light sources with orthogonal characteristics of the same point light source are turned on or off synchronously at one point in time. In this way, at each point in time, the L orthogonal characteristic pixel groups of the display device 20 are equivalent to L display screens, and the corresponding L orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources that are turned on synchronously can independently project the scenes to be displayed. L two-dimensional projected images. In Figure 11, L=2 orthogonal characteristics are taken as mutually perpendicular linear polarization states "·" and "-". Specifically, the point light source PS 1 includes L=2 orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources PS 11 and PS 12 ; the point light source PS 2 includes L=2 orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources PS 21 and PS 22 ; the point light source PS 3 includes L=2 orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources PS 31 and PS 32 . Among them, the orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources PS 11 , PS 21 , and PS 31 emit “-” orthogonal characteristic light, and the orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources PS 12 , PS 22 , and PS 32 emit “-” orthogonal characteristic light. Along the y direction, the pixels of the display device 20 with an interval of L-1=1 pixels are grouped, that is, the pixels marked with "·" and "-" in the figure are grouped into groups, forming L=2 orthogonal characteristic pixel groups , Respectively named the "·" state orthogonal characteristic pixel group and the "-" state orthogonal characteristic pixel group, which correspond to allowing only the "·" state light and the "-" state light to enter and modulate them respectively. Then at a point in time, L=2 orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources of only one point light source are turned on. For example, when only the orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources PS 11 and PS 12 are turned on, the "·" state orthogonal characteristic pixel group is turned on. The projection light of the intersection characteristic sub-point light source A 12 is the backlight for light information loading and projection, and the "-" state orthogonal characteristic pixel group uses the projection light of the orthogonal characteristic sub-point light source A 11 as the backlight for light information loading and projection. The light information loaded by each pixel at each time point is the sagittal direction of the light beam projected by the pixel at that time point and incident on the area where the observer’s pupil 50 is located, and the scene to be displayed is at the sagittal direction and where the observer’s pupil 50 is located. The projection information on the intersection of the faces. In the module shown in FIG. 11, the optical path guiding device 40 includes M×L=6 reflective surfaces 401a, 401b, 401c, 401d, 401e, and 401f, respectively, with orthogonal characteristic sub-point light source convergence images I PS11 , I PS21 , I PS31 , I PS12 , I PS22 , I PS32 . In each cycle composed of adjacent M=3 time points, each point light source is controlled by the control device 60, and time sequence is switched on, and at a time point, only one point light source is turned on. Specifically, at the time point t, only the point light source PS 1 is turned on, and both PS 2 and PS 3 are turned off, and the light emitted by the orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources PS 11 and PS 12 are respectively modulated by the two orthogonal characteristic pixel groups of the display device 20 , The corresponding light information is projected to the convergent images I PS11 and I PS12 of the orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources PS 11 and PS 12 through the converging device 30, and then reflected by the reflective surfaces 401a and 410d, respectively, to the pupil 50 of the observer. Area propagation; at the time point t+Δt/3, only the point light source PS 2 is turned on, and both PS 1 and PS 3 are turned off. The orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources PS 21 and PS 22 emit light through the two orthogonal characteristics of the display device 20 The pixel groups are respectively modulated, carrying their corresponding light information and projected to the convergent images I PS21 and I PS22 of the orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources PS 21 and PS 22 through the converging device 30, and then are respectively reflected by the reflective surfaces 401b and 410e to the observer The area where the pupil 50 is located spreads; and so on. Then, in one cycle, the projection of M×L=6 two-dimensional projected images of the scene to be displayed is realized to the area where the pupil 50 of the observer is located. When the distance between the convergent images of adjacent point light sources is less than a certain value, the pupil 50 of the observer can receive at least two two-dimensional projected images from the display device 20, and then at least two light beams enter the pupil 50 of the observer through a display object point. A three-dimensional display without focus-convergence conflict is realized based on single-lens multiple images. When the observer pupil 50 can receive a two-dimensional projected image from the display device 20 by itself, a beam of light enters the observer pupil 50 through a display object point, so that a three-dimensional display without focus-convergence conflict is realized based on Maxwell projection .
上述过程中,观察者瞳孔50可能无法接收到恰好一个或至少两个完整二维投射图像对应的所有光束,例如偏离点光源会聚像较远时。实际上,不同二维投射图像的不同部分可以拼连形成拼合型二维投射图像。该类拼合型二维投射图像所包含像素的数目,等于二维投射图像的像素数目,其像素分布范围和二维投射图像的像素分布范围一致。进行单目多图像显示,要求在一个循环周期内,投射至少两个待显示场景的图像入射观察者瞳孔50。该两个图像可以为二维投射图像,也可以是拼合型二维投射图像。也即是说,单目多图像显示要求在各循环周期内,入射观察者瞳孔50的光束束数至少等于两个正交特性像素组所具有像素的数目。进行麦克斯韦投射显示,要求在一个循环周期内,投射待显示场景的一个图像入射观察者瞳孔50。该一个图像可以为二维投射图像,也可以是拼合型二维投射图像。也即是说,麦克斯韦投射要求在各循环周期内,入射观察者瞳孔50的光束束数等于一个正交特性像素组所具有像素的数目。当观察者瞳孔50接收光束数目介于一个正交特性像素组所具有像素的数目和两个正交特性像素组所具有像素的数目之间时,单目多图像和麦克斯韦投射可以共同起作用,保证单目的自由聚焦。In the above process, the pupil 50 of the observer may not be able to receive all the light beams corresponding to exactly one or at least two complete two-dimensional projected images, for example, when the convergent image deviates from the point light source far away. In fact, different parts of different two-dimensional projected images can be spliced together to form a spliced two-dimensional projected image. The number of pixels contained in this type of split two-dimensional projected image is equal to the number of pixels of the two-dimensional projected image, and its pixel distribution range is consistent with the pixel distribution range of the two-dimensional projected image. To perform monocular multi-image display, it is required to project at least two images of the scene to be displayed into the pupil 50 of the observer in one cycle. The two images can be two-dimensional projected images, or can be split two-dimensional projected images. In other words, monocular multi-image display requires that the number of light beams incident on the observer's pupil 50 be at least equal to the number of pixels in the two orthogonal characteristic pixel groups in each cycle period. To perform Maxwell projection display, it is required to project an image of the scene to be displayed into the pupil 50 of the observer within a cycle period. The one image may be a two-dimensional projected image, or a split-type two-dimensional projected image. In other words, Maxwell projection requires that in each cycle period, the number of beams incident on the observer's pupil 50 is equal to the number of pixels in an orthogonal characteristic pixel group. When the number of light beams received by the pupil 50 of the observer is between the number of pixels in one orthogonal characteristic pixel group and the number of pixels in two orthogonal characteristic pixel groups, monocular multi-image and Maxwell projection can work together. Ensure the free focus of a single purpose.
沿光束传输方向,会聚器件30置于显示器件20前时,会聚器件30的调制功能还表现在成显示器件20的放大虚像。另外,沿光束传输方向,显示器件20还可以置于会聚器件30前,如图12所示。本专利一种多背光光源的显示模组中,还可以于时序点光源阵列120和显示器件20之间引入前置会聚器件70,调制各正交特性子点光源投射背光入射显示器件20时的发散度。图13中,前置会聚器件70取透镜为例,各正交特性子点光源置于该前置会聚器件70的前焦面上。各正交特性子光源经前置会聚器件70投射平行光束入射显示器件20。实际上,各正交特性子点光源和前置会聚器件70的位置设置,也可以使各正交特性子点光源经前置会聚器件70投射发散态或会聚态光入射显示器件20。进一步的,各正交特性子点光源沿投射光传输方向,也可以错位放置,如图14所示。When the converging device 30 is placed in front of the display device 20 along the light beam transmission direction, the modulation function of the converging device 30 also appears as an enlarged virtual image of the display device 20. In addition, along the light beam transmission direction, the display device 20 can also be placed in front of the converging device 30, as shown in FIG. 12. In a display module with multiple backlight sources of this patent, a front converging device 70 can also be introduced between the sequential point light source array 120 and the display device 20 to modulate each orthogonal characteristic sub-point light source when the backlight is incident on the display device 20. Divergence. In FIG. 13, the front converging device 70 takes a lens as an example, and each orthogonal characteristic sub-point light source is placed on the front focal plane of the front converging device 70. Each orthogonal characteristic sub-light source projects parallel light beams into the display device 20 through the front converging device 70. In fact, the positions of the orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources and the front converging device 70 can also be such that the orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources project divergent or convergent light into the display device 20 through the front converging device 70. Further, the sub-point light sources with orthogonal characteristics can also be placed in a staggered position along the transmission direction of the projected light, as shown in FIG. 14.
光路引导器件40用于调整本专利所述显示模组的光束传输路径,以使之适用于各种应用环境。例如,以上各图中,各正交特性子点光源会聚像处所置的反射面,作为光路引导器件40的组件,可以通过该各反射面之间的空隙,接收外 部环境光信息。另外,设置该各反射面尺寸和位置,也可以起低通或带通滤波功能。若不需要外部环境光时,以上各图正交特性子点光源会聚像处的多个反射面,可以去除,或者用一个整体反射面代替,且该整体反射面,可以偏离各点光源会聚像放置。这时,观察者瞳孔50可以被设计置于正交特性子点光源会聚像处,甚至更接近会聚器件30处。进一步的,光路引导器件40可以设计为其它多种不同的结构,如图15、图16和图17所示范例。图15、图16和图17取M×L=2×2进行示例。图15中,增加组件反射面402至光路引导器件40,更有利于显示模组结构的紧凑化。图16所示为采用反射式显示器件20的一种光路结构。光路引导器件40由以半透半反面406和置于各正交特性子点光源会聚像处的反射面401a、401b、401c、401d组成。来自各正交特性子点光源的出射光经前置会聚器件70和半透半反面406入射反射式显示器件20进行信息加载。反射式显示器件20投射光携带光信息再次入射半透半反面406并被反射,然后被反射面401a、401b、401c、401d引导向观察者瞳孔50所处区域。图17采用自由曲面光组件作为引导器件40,且复合了会聚器件30。其中,自由曲面F3、F2和F4作为引导器件40的组件,自由曲面F1、F2、F3和F4起会聚器件30的作用。另外,自由曲面F5消除自由曲面F2和F4对外部环境入射光的影响,允许外部环境光和显示场景一起入射观察者瞳孔50。The light path guiding device 40 is used to adjust the light beam transmission path of the display module described in this patent to make it suitable for various application environments. For example, in the above figures, the reflective surface on which each orthogonal characteristic sub-point light source converges as a component of the light path guiding device 40 can receive external ambient light information through the gap between the reflective surfaces. In addition, setting the size and position of each reflecting surface can also play a low-pass or band-pass filter function. If there is no need for external ambient light, the multiple reflective surfaces at the convergence image of the sub-point light sources with the orthogonal characteristics of the above figures can be removed or replaced with a whole reflective surface, and the integral reflective surface can deviate from the convergence image of each point light source place. At this time, the pupil 50 of the observer can be designed to be placed at the convergent image of the orthogonal characteristic sub-point light source, or even closer to the convergent device 30. Further, the optical path guiding device 40 can be designed in a variety of other different structures, such as the examples shown in FIG. 15, FIG. 16, and FIG. 17. Figure 15, Figure 16, and Figure 17 take M×L=2×2 for examples. In FIG. 15, adding the component reflection surface 402 to the light path guiding device 40 is more conducive to the compactness of the display module structure. FIG. 16 shows an optical path structure using a reflective display device 20. As shown in FIG. The optical path guiding device 40 is composed of a semi-transparent and semi-reversed surface 406 and reflective surfaces 401a, 401b, 401c, and 401d placed at the convergent image of each orthogonal characteristic sub-point light source. The emitted light from each orthogonal characteristic sub-point light source enters the reflective display device 20 through the front convergent device 70 and the semi-transparent and semi-transparent surface 406 for information loading. The light projected by the reflective display device 20 carries light information into the transflective surface 406 again and is reflected, and then is guided by the reflective surfaces 401a, 401b, 401c, and 401d to the area where the pupil 50 of the observer is located. FIG. 17 uses a free-form surface optical component as the guiding device 40, and the converging device 30 is compounded. Among them, the free-form surfaces F3, F2, and F4 are used as components of the guiding device 40, and the free-form surfaces F1, F2, F3, and F4 function as the converging device 30. In addition, the free-form surface F5 eliminates the influence of the free-form surfaces F2 and F4 on the incident light of the external environment, and allows the external environment light and the display scene to enter the pupil 50 of the observer together.
本实施例上述各图中,以各正交特性子点光源一维排列为例,其也可以扩展至二维方向排列。本实施例上述过程中,显示器件20的正交特性像素组的分组方式,也可以是沿两个方向,间隔(L-1)个像素的像素成组,如图10所示。In the above figures of this embodiment, the one-dimensional arrangement of the sub-point light sources with orthogonal characteristics is taken as an example, which can also be extended to the two-dimensional arrangement. In the above process of this embodiment, the grouping manner of the orthogonal characteristic pixel groups of the display device 20 can also be grouping of pixels separated by (L-1) pixels in two directions, as shown in FIG. 10.
本实施例采用正交特性子点光源的一种多背光光源的显示模组中,更大的M值,有利于更大视区的获取。但也同时对显示器件20的帧率也提出更高的要求。根据追踪器件80所实时确定观察者瞳孔50的空间位置,从时序点光源阵列120的M个正交特性子点光源中,由控制器件60实时选择实现麦克斯韦投射或单目多图像所必须的K个作为有效点光源,2≦K<M,并控制该K个有效正交特性子点光源在相邻K个时间点组成的各有效循环周期内时序开关,同理进行显示,也可以降低对显示器件20帧频的要求。还存在一种情况,即在一个时间点,仅一个点光源的L个正交特性子点光源即可满足单目多视图或麦克斯韦投射显示的要求。该情况下,在各时间点,根据追踪器件80所确定观察者瞳孔50的空间位置,由控制器件60实时确定满足单目多图像或麦克斯韦投射显示要求的一个 点光源作为有效点光源,控制器件60控制该有效点光源的L个正交特性子点光源打开,并同步以对应光信息刷新显示器件20各像素。In a display module with multiple backlight light sources using orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources in this embodiment, a larger M value is beneficial to obtaining a larger viewing area. However, at the same time, higher requirements are also put on the frame rate of the display device 20. According to the real-time determination of the spatial position of the observer’s pupil 50 by the tracking device 80, from the M orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources of the sequential point light source array 120, the control device 60 selects the K necessary to realize Maxwell projection or monocular multi-image in real time. As an effective point light source, 2≦K<M, and control the K effective orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources to switch in sequence in each effective cycle composed of adjacent K time points. The display can also be reduced by the same reason. Display device 20 frame rate requirements. There is also a situation that at one point in time, only L orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources of one point light source can meet the requirements of monocular multi-view or Maxwell projection display. In this case, at each time point, according to the spatial position of the observer’s pupil 50 determined by the tracking device 80, the control device 60 determines in real time a point light source that meets the requirements of monocular multi-image or Maxwell projection display as an effective point light source, and the control device 60 controls the L orthogonal characteristic sub-point light sources of the effective point light source to turn on, and refreshes each pixel of the display device 20 with corresponding light information in synchronization.
当M取值较大时,显示器件20投射光可以覆盖观察者双目,且各目均可以接收到麦克斯韦投射显示或单目多视图显示所需待显示场景的一个或至少两个图像时,本专利一种多背光光源的显示模组可以独立作为三维显示系统的光学引擎。其它的,本专利一种多背光光源的显示模组可以作为一个目镜,仅向观察者的一个眼睛投射麦克斯韦投射显示或单目多视图显示所需的一个或至少两个图像,使用两个该模组搭建双目显示系统,例如AR/VR,的光学引擎。When the value of M is large, the light projected by the display device 20 can cover the eyes of the observer, and each eye can receive one or at least two images of the scene to be displayed required for Maxwell projection display or monocular multi-view display, A display module with multiple backlight sources of this patent can independently be used as the optical engine of a three-dimensional display system. In addition, a display module with multiple backlight sources of this patent can be used as an eyepiece, and only project one or at least two images required for Maxwell projection display or monocular multi-view display to one eye of the observer, using two such The module builds the optical engine of the binocular display system, such as AR/VR.

The meaning is that after the light projected by a light source is modulated by the display device 20, the light emitted by each pixel is projected to an area in a convergent form, and the area can be used as a corresponding convergent image of the light source.
