Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that numerous technical details are set forth in order to provide a better understanding of the present application in various embodiments of the present invention. However, the technical solution claimed in the present application can be implemented without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments.
The following embodiments are divided for convenience of description, and should not constitute any limitation to the specific implementation manner of the present invention, and the embodiments may be mutually incorporated and referred to without contradiction.
Current head-up display devices are typically mounted on a vehicle, such as an automobile. The image formed by the existing head-up display device is a two-dimensional plane image, and the scene observed by the driver is a three-dimensional stereo image, so that the image formed by the head-up display device cannot be attached to the actual environment for display, and the real-time road condition observed by the driver is influenced. In addition, the existing head-up display device forms images at a fixed distance, when a driver uses the head-up display device to observe displayed images, the driver needs to switch the sight lines between the displayed images and different scenes, so that the visual convergence adjustment conflict occurs, and the use experience of the head-up display device is seriously reduced.
A first embodiment of the present invention relates to a head-up display device. The structure of the head-up display device 1 can be as shown in fig. 1, and includes: a casing 10 with a light outlet 101, a reflection mechanism 20 arranged in the casing 10, and at least two stereo image sources 30.
The stereoscopic image source 30 is used for emitting image light rays capable of forming stereoscopic vision images, and the image light rays emitted by the stereoscopic image source 30 are emitted into the reflecting mechanism 20; the reflection mechanism 20 emits the image light from the light exit 101 to the external imaging device 2 for the external imaging device 2 to form the stereoscopic image 3. The stereoscopic image sources 30 include at least two stereoscopic image sources, and the imaging positions of the stereoscopic images 3 formed by the image rays emitted by the at least two stereoscopic image sources 30 are different.
Specifically, the head-up display device 1 may be mounted on various vehicles, such as automobiles, trains, airplanes, mail ships, and the like. In the present example, the head-up display device 1 is mounted in an automobile, and the external imaging device 2 may transmit and reflect light, for example, a windshield of the automobile. The housing 10 may be made of a light-shielding material to prevent external light from entering the head-up display device 1 and interfering with the stereoscopic image source 30. As shown in fig. 1, the head-up display device 1 may be disposed below the external display device 2. In fig. 1, an eye box region indicates a region where a user sees a displayed stereoscopic image. The eye box refers to an area where the user can see the eyes of the image formed by the external imaging device 2. The eye box area has a certain size, and both eyes of the user deviate from the center of the eye box by a certain distance, such as up and down, left and right, and as long as the user is still in the eye box area, the stereoscopic vision image formed by the external imaging device 2 can be seen. After the image light that each stereoscopic image source 30 produced jets out casing 10, reflects on external imaging device 2, shoots out image light to the eye box region, and the user can see the virtual image that forms in the external imaging device 2 outside, does not influence the observation to external environment simultaneously. Wherein the reflecting mechanism 20 may include a curved mirror 201, and the curved mirror 201 may enlarge the image and provide a longer imaging distance.
The operation of the head-up display device is described below with reference to fig. 1:
the stereoscopic image source 30 emits image light rays capable of forming a stereoscopic image, the image light rays are reflected by the reflection mechanism 20 and then emitted from the light outlet 101, the image light rays are reflected by the external imaging device 2 to form the stereoscopic image, a user can observe a virtual image formed outside the external imaging device 2, and the stereoscopic image and a stereoscopic scene have a good laminating effect; meanwhile, a multi-layer stereoscopic image is formed by providing at least two stereoscopic image sources 30. It should be noted that, in this example, only two layers of stereoscopic images (such as the stereoscopic image a and the stereoscopic image B in fig. 1) are formed, in this example, the number of multi-layer stereoscopic images is not limited to two layers, but may be a stereoscopic image larger than two layers, and specifically, a corresponding number of stereoscopic images may be formed according to the set number of stereoscopic image sources 30, for example: three layers, four layers and the like, and the imaging distances of different stereoscopic vision images are different, and the different stereoscopic vision images can be coaxial or not. Since the stereoscopic vision images at different distances from the user can be generated, the sight line of the user does not need to be switched back and forth between the stereoscopic vision image at a fixed distance and the real scenes at different distances, and the use experience of the head-up display device 1 is greatly improved.
Compared with the prior art, the stereo image source 30 is provided, the stereo image source 30 can emit image light rays for forming stereo vision images, because the stereoscopic vision image and the object of the actual environment are three-dimensional images, the stereoscopic vision image and the actual environment are easier to fuse, the experience of the user for observing the stereoscopic vision image is improved, meanwhile, the three-dimensional image sources 30 include at least two, the imaging positions of the three-dimensional images formed by the image rays respectively emitted by the two three-dimensional image sources 30 are different, thereby enabling the user to select the stereoscopic vision image corresponding to the proper distance to watch according to the requirement, therefore, the problem of visual convergence adjustment conflict when the user uses the head-up display device 1 is solved, the experience of the user using the head-up display device 1 is further improved, and the popularization degree of the head-up display device 1 is improved.
A second embodiment of the present invention relates to a head-up display device. The second embodiment is a detailed description of the stereoscopic image source 30 in the first embodiment. The block diagram of the stereoscopic image source 30 is shown in fig. 2, and includes: an image source 301 and a stereoscopic image generation mechanism 302. The stereoscopic image generation mechanism 302 is configured to convert light rays emitted from the image source 301 into image light rays that can form a stereoscopic image.
Specifically, the image source 301 may be a common image source, such as an LCD image source, an LED image source, or the like. The stereoscopic image generation mechanism 302 may be disposed at a side along which the light rays emitted from the image source 301 are emitted, and the stereoscopic image generation mechanism 302 is configured to convert the light rays emitted from the image source 301 into image light rays that can form a stereoscopic image. The stereoscopic image generation mechanism 302 may form a first light ray irradiated to the first designated area and a second light ray irradiated to the second designated area by blocking or directionally emitting pixels at different positions. The first designated area may be a left eye area or a right eye area of the eye box area, and the second designated area may be a left eye area or a right eye area of the eye box area, where the first designated area and the second designated area are not the same area; the stereoscopic image can be observed by the user with the two eyes positioned in the eye box area.
In this embodiment, 3 kinds of structures of the stereoscopic image generation mechanism 302 are listed, and the structures of the 3 kinds of stereoscopic image generation mechanisms 302 will be described below, respectively.
The structure I is as follows: the stereoscopic image generation mechanism 302 includes a blocking unit located on the light outgoing path of the image source 301. The blocking unit is used for partially blocking the light emitted by the image source 301, so that the partially blocked light forms a first light irradiated to the first designated area and a second light irradiated to the second designated area, wherein the first designated area is different from the second designated area, the first light is different from the second light, and image contents respectively formed by the first light and the second light are also different. For example, the blocking units may include a plurality of first blocking units 3021 located on the outgoing light path of the image source 301 and a plurality of second blocking units 3022 located on the outgoing light path of the image source 301, and the stereoscopic image generation mechanism 302 has a structure as shown in fig. 3.
In one example, the first blocking unit 3021 is disposed apart from the second blocking unit 3022; each first blocking unit 3021 blocks part of the light of the image source 301, so that the first light formed without being blocked by each first blocking unit 3021 is emitted to the first designated area through the light outlet 101; each second blocking unit 3022 blocks a portion of light emitted from the image source 301, so that second light formed without being blocked by each second blocking unit 3022 is emitted to a second designated area through the light outlet 101.
Specifically, a plurality of first blocking units 3021 and a plurality of second blocking units 3022 are spaced apart from each other, so that a light barrier may be formed, and the first blocking units 3021 and the second blocking units 3022 are spaced apart from each other by a first preset distance (e.g., d1 in fig. 3). The first blocking unit 3021 and the second blocking unit 3022 are disposed side by side with a second preset distance (e.g., d2 in fig. 3) from the image source 301. The first blocking unit 3021 and the second blocking unit 3022 may be disposed on the outer side of the image source 301, the outer side of the image source 301 being the side on the light emitting optical path of the image source 301, as shown in side a in fig. 3.
As shown in fig. 3, the example in which the image source 301 includes 8 columns of image source units, 2 first blocking units, and 2 second blocking units is described. A space d2 exists between the light barrier and the image source 301, and both the first blocking unit 3021 and the second blocking unit 3022 can block light, so that part of the second light emitted by the image source units (such as R1, R2, R3, and R4 shown in fig. 3) cannot reach the left eye region, where only the first light emitted by the image source units L1, L2, L3, and L4 can be viewed; similarly, only the second light rays emitted from the image source units R1, R2, R3, R4 can be viewed in the right eye region. The first blocking unit 3021 allows the first light to be emitted to a first designated area (a left eye area as shown in fig. 3), such as the first light emitted from the source units L1, L2, L3, and L4; and the second blocking unit allows the second light to be emitted to a second designated area (e.g., a right eye area as shown in fig. 3), such as the second light emitted by the source units R1, R2, R3, and R4, and further realizes stereoscopic imaging by separating the visible pictures of the left eye and the right eye. Here, the sizes of the first and second blocking units 3021 and 3022 and the position between the first and second blocking units 3021 and 3022 are specially designed through precise calculation, so that it is possible to ensure imaging at a specific position.
