Embodiment 1

[0050] Such as figure 2 As shown, the structure of the planar waveguide in this embodiment is a rectangular waveguide structure, which specifically includes an optical coupling end 101 and an optical coupling end 102. The optical coupling end 101 of the planar waveguide is a mirror, and the optical coupling end 102 of the planar waveguide 102 is more than two half-mirrors placed in parallel, and the angle between the half-mirror and the reflective surface of the planar waveguide is greater than 15° and less than 40°.

[0051] In Embodiment 1, a reflector is used to ensure that the light entering the planar waveguide satisfies the condition of total reflection of the light in the planar waveguide after being reflected by it, and the reflector is used as the optical coupling end to ensure the overall rectangular shape of the planar waveguide, which is convenient for installation. The light emitted by the display 1 enters the planar waveguide 3 after being imaged by the projecti...

Embodiment 2

[0053] Such as image 3 As shown, the structure of the planar waveguide 3 in this embodiment is an irregular structure, and the reflection area where the light enters the planar waveguide 3 for the first reflection is a slope, and the slope serves as the optical coupling end 201 of the planar waveguide 3, and the slope The surface is coated with a reflective film, and the slope needs to ensure that the light entering the planar waveguide meets the conditions of total reflection of the light in the planar waveguide after being reflected by it. Using this structural form reduces the link of system glueing and processing, and is easy to process. After the light is incident on the planar waveguide 3 and reaches the optical coupling end 201, the light is reflected and is limited to propagate in the planar waveguide 3, and the light after entering the planar waveguide 3 The optical path is the same as that in Embodiment 1.

Embodiment 3

[0055] Such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the reflective surface where light enters the planar waveguide 3 for the first reflection is a holographic or diffractive surface. The final photosensitive coating or a microstructure surface capable of deflecting light is formed by photolithography or other techniques. Using this structure as an optical coupling port can simplify the optical projection system. The light enters the planar waveguide 3 and reaches the optical coupling end 301 for reflection and is restricted to propagate in the planar waveguide 3 . The light path after entering the planar waveguide 3 is the same as that of the first embodiment.

Abstract

The invention discloses a projection type planar waveguide helmet-mounted displayer. The projection type planar waveguide helmet-mounted displayer comprises a mini-type display device, a projection optical system, a planar waveguide and a reflection type projection screen, the planar waveguide is internally provided with an optical coupling-in end and an optical coupling-out end, and light rays sent by the mini-type display device are imaged through the projection optical system and are transmitted to enter the optical coupling-in end of the planar waveguide. The optical coupling-in end reflects the received light rays to enable the reflected light rays to be totally reflected between two reflection planes of the planar waveguide many times to be transmitted to the optical coupling-out end of the planar waveguide. The optical coupling-out end reflects the received light rays to the reflection type projection screen. The reflection type projection screen reflects the received light rays to enable the light rays to return according to the original path, then the light rays are transmitted to the human eyes from the optical coupling-out end of the planar waveguide. By means of the method, the problem that an existing helmet-mounted displayer is large is solved, the observing view field can be expanded by designing different structures, and the designing difficulty of the projection optical system is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of augmented reality and virtual reality, in particular to a projected planar waveguide helmet-mounted display. Background technique [0002] The helmet image display system for virtual reality and augmented reality is a popular product in the display field in recent years. It is widely used in many fields such as entertainment, scientific research, medical treatment, military affairs, and education. In order to generate a highly immersive graphic image system, The helmet-mounted display device needs to be able to provide a large field of view, and it also needs to be compact and lightweight to reduce fatigue on the user's neck. [0003] figure 1 It was proposed by J.Fergason, and later H.Hua and J.Rolland proposed a schematic diagram of the structure of a projection helmet display. The light emitted by the micro-display is imaged by the projection optical system and then reflected through the semi-transparent and s...
