In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more comprehensible, the present application is described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description.
Examples
Referring to a schematic structural diagram of an image combining apparatus shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides an image combining apparatus, including: a freeform prism 10 and a curved super-surface 20.
The curved super-surface comprises: a plurality of super-surface structure units disposed on the curved side of the freeform prism. The curved side surface is a free-form surface on the side of the free-form surface prism for receiving the light rays. The light ray includes: ambient light.
Each super-surface structure unit in the plurality of super-surface structure units can perform phase compensation on light rays penetrating through each super-surface structure unit; the incident direction of the light rays emitted to the curved-surface super-surface 20 is the same as the emergent direction of the light rays after sequentially penetrating through the super-surface structure unit and the free-form surface prism 10.
The free-form surface prism is a prism for imaging, in order to form an enlarged image, at least one surface of the free-form surface prism is a free-form surface, and when light directly penetrates through the free-form surface prism, the propagation direction can be changed, so that imaging deformation (optical aberration) is caused.
In this embodiment, the curved-surface super-surface performs phase compensation on the light incident on the curved-surface super-surface through the super-surface structure unit therein, so that the incident direction of the light incident on the curved-surface super-surface is the same as the emergent direction of the light after the light penetrates through the super-surface structure unit and the free-form surface prism. As shown in fig. 1, a light ray a is incident on a curved super-surface in an image combining device, and a corresponding super-surface structure unit in the curved super-surface compensates the phase of the light ray a and converts the light ray a into a light ray B; in general, the propagation directions of the light ray a and the light ray B are different. And then, converting the light ray B into a light ray C after entering the free-form surface prism, wherein the propagation direction of the light ray B is different from that of the light ray C, the light ray C is converted into a light ray D after exiting the free-form surface prism, the light ray D is the light ray of the light ray A after passing through the curved surface super-surface and the free-form surface prism, and the propagation direction of the light ray D is the same as that of the light ray A.
Based on the image combination device, a user can normally watch images formed by the free-form surface prism, can normally watch an external environment, and can realize an augmented reality effect.
The image combination device comprising the curved-surface super-surface and the free-form surface prism is an afocal system, and can not cause the distortion of ambient light. Based on the image combination device, the user can normally watch the image formed by the free-form surface prism 10, can normally watch the external environment, and can realize the effect of augmented reality.
The image combining device may also include an image source 30 that emits imaging light directed toward the freeform prism.
Referring to fig. 2, a schematic diagram of the image combining apparatus proposed in the present embodiment is shown, in which light passes through a free-form surface prism, the free-form surface prism includes a transmission surface 11, a transflective surface 12, and a light splitting surface 13 (i.e., the curved side surface mentioned above); the light splitting surface is a free curved surface provided with a curved super surface. The transmission surface is used for transmitting imaging light rays emitted by an external image source, and the imaging light rays transmitted by the transmission surface are emitted to the reverse transmission surface; the transmitting surface totally reflects the imaging light transmitted by the transmitting surface to the light splitting surface; the light splitting surface is used for reflecting the imaging light totally reflected by the transmission back surface to the transmission back surface; the reverse transmitting surface is also used for transmitting the imaging light reflected by the light splitting surface.
In one embodiment, the transflective surface may be a concave spherical surface.
As shown in fig. 2, the imaging light M emitted from the image source 30 can be directed to the transmission surface of the freeform prism. The imaging light M penetrates through the transmission surface, then enters the transflective surface at a larger incident angle, and is totally reflected at the transflective surface, so that the imaging light M is totally reflected to the light splitting surface. The light splitting surface has non-reflection and transmission functions, for example, the light splitting surface is provided with a semi-transparent and semi-reflective film which can reflect at least part of the imaging light M; the imaging light rays M reflected by the light splitting surface can finally enter the transflective surface again at a small incident angle, and then penetrate the transflective surface to irradiate towards human eyes. And external ambient light E can also be emitted to human eyes after penetrating through the curved super-surface, the light splitting surface and the reverse surface.
For example, the light splitting surface and the curved super surface can be attached together in a gluing mode; if the refractive indexes of the free-form surface prism and the curved surface super-surface are the same, the adopted glue is similar to the refractive indexes of the free-form surface prism and the curved surface super-surface; for example, the error between the refractive index of the glue and the refractive index of both does not exceed 0.1.
In addition, since the light splitting surface can reflect and transmit light, external ambient light a can also be partially reflected when passing through the light splitting surface, that is, the light splitting surface reflects part of the ambient light; in order to ensure that the human eye can see the external environment at normal brightness, the splitting surface needs to have sufficient transmittance. In this embodiment, the inverse transmittance ratio (i.e., the ratio of transmittance to reflectance) of the light splitting surface is not less than (IMAx-I0)/I0; wherein IMAx is the maximum brightness of the external imaging light, and I0 is the maximum brightness required for imaging. In general, the inverse transmission ratio is greater than 1, i.e., the splitting plane transmits more light than reflects.
In order to realize the image combination device, referring to the schematic diagram of fig. 3 that the light rays propagate through the image combination device to generate the phase variation, it is found through research that the light rays propagate through the image combination device to generate the phase variation; the phase variation amount includes: the sum of the phase compensation quantity generated when the light passes through the super-surface structure unit and a plurality of phase delays generated in the process that the light penetrates through the free-form surface prism. And the difference value between the phase variation generated after the light rays incident to different positions of the image combination device are respectively transmitted by the image combination device is the phase differenceThe phase difference is constant.
Specifically, if the light passes through two ends of the transmission surface, two planes perpendicular to the incident direction and the emergent direction of the light are respectively made, and the two planes are used as two phase surfaces for generating phase variation after the light is transmitted by the image combination device; of the two phase planes, the side closer to the curved super surface is the first phase plane 40, and the side farther from the curved super surface is the second phase plane 50.
Then, the amount of phase change generated by the light passing through the image combining device satisfies the following formula 1:
wherein (x) 0 ,y 0 ) Representing the position coordinate, psi ', of the ith super-surface structure unit on the curved super-surface' i A first phase delay, Ψ "", generated before said ray enters said freeform prism i Psi 'generated by the propagation of the light ray through the freeform prism' i A third phase delay is generated after the light rays are emitted from the free-form surface prism,the phase compensation quantity of the ith super-surface structure unit on the curved super-surface to the incident ray is generated,the phase difference is the phase variation generated by the light passing through the ith super-surface structure unit on the curved super-surface, and the difference between the phase variations generated by the light entering different positions of the image combination device after being respectively transmitted by the image combination device meets the following formula
Formula 2:
wherein,the phase variation quantity generated when the light passes through the jth super-surface structure unit on the curved super-surface is obtained,is a phase difference, and n is an integer.
Here, the first phase lag represents a phase lag amount generated when the light passes through the curved super-surface and other substances having two or more phases while propagating between the first phase plane and the splitting plane of the free-form surface prism; the second phase delay represents the phase delay generated when the light ray propagates in the free-form surface prism; the third phase delay represents a phase delay amount generated when a light ray passes through a substance having two-phase or multi-directivity while propagating between the transmission-side surface and the second phase surface of the free-form surface prism.

Further, the height direction of the nano structure is parallel to the normal direction of the flexible curved surface transparent substrate where the nano structure is located. Then, for the phase design of the nano structure, the light wave vector incident to the nano structure needs to be projected on the plane where the normal of the flexible curved transparent substrate where the nano structure is located, so as to design the nano structure.
Therefore, referring to the schematic diagram of fig. 5 that the super-surface structure unit performs phase modulation on incident light, for light incident on the nano-structure in each super-surface structure unit, the nano-structure can perform phase compensation on at least part of light F in the incident light E, where the incident direction of the light F is parallel to the normal direction of the flexible curved transparent substrate on which the nano-structure is located. And at least part of light rays G with the incident direction perpendicular to the normal direction of the flexible curved surface transparent substrate on which the nano structure is positioned are not subjected to phase compensation.
