The invention provides an image projection device and AR display equipment, and belongs to the technical field of
augmented reality imaging. The image projection device includes an image source and alens
assembly. The lens
assembly tightly fits with the image source,
refractive index difference of an interface when light enters a lens can be reduced, the
transmittance of the upper surface of thelens can be enhanced, light efficiency can be increased, and the generation of
stray light and ghost images can be inhibited. The advantages of the image projection device and AR display equipment areas follows: first, as the image source and the lens fit with each other or have no gaps, an optical
system can be more compact in structure, smaller in volume, lighter in weight and comfortable in wearing; second, large numerical apertures can be realized by increasing image refractive indexes and using relatively small aperture angles, the deflection angles of marginal rays can be decreased, anddesign difficulties can be reduced; third, the
refractive index difference at the interface of the lens can be decreased, the
transmittance of the marginal rays can be enhanced, the ghost images canbe reduced, and brightness can be increased; and fourth, compact element arrangement, convenient installation and adjusting and high
system intensity can be realized.
