为了解决上述问题,本申请实施例提供了一种视场角的调整方法,应用于近眼显示设备中的波导片,该方法通过调整波导片相对于人体面部水平方向的倾斜夹角来调整设备的视场角,且优选地,近眼显示设备中的波导片可采用低折射率的材料,其工艺更为成熟,本申请实施例提供的调整方法能够同时实现近眼显示设备中波导片的大视场角和低折射率,设备成本更低、稳定性更佳。

wg确定时,眼盒横向大小D与波导片的倾斜夹角
成反比关系。
步骤90:调整所述波导片的底角,以调整杂散光在所述波导片的出射角,使得所述杂散光偏出所述近眼显示设备的眼盒。
基于图11,请一并参见图12,其示出了杂散光的消除原理示意图,不难看出,为了消除杂散光,将杂散光出射到眼盒之外,需要满足以下关系:
其中,i′
1,s2表示杂散光在波导片中的出射角度,L表示瞳距,
表示波导片相对于人体面部水平方向的倾斜夹角,D表示近眼显示设备的眼 盒横向大小,y表示视场角,L
1为视场角y出射的投影成像光线到出瞳表面的距离,不难得出,为了消除杂散光,使得杂散光偏出眼盒,需要波导片中的出射角度i′
1,s2足够大才行,而由步骤70可知,出射角度i′
1,s2与波导片的底角θ相关,因而,通过调整所述底角θ,以调整杂散光在所述波导片的出射角i′
1,s2,使得所述杂散光偏出所述近眼显示设备的眼盒。
进一步地,本申请实施例还提供了两种波导片的优化方式及两组波导片的优化参数:
第一种优化方式及第一组优化参数:
在本优化实施例中,请一并参见图1及应用场景所示实施例,当微显示器和投影模组出射的投影成像光线通过耦入光栅衍射入射至波导片时,进入波导片的目标衍射级的光纤在平板波导中全反射传播需要同时满足两个条件:1)衍射角需要大于光波导的全内反射角;2)光波导的入瞳间距不能与人眼光瞳差异太大。基于上述两个条件,本实施例提供的光波导的参数计算可以参考以下二维光栅方程:
其中,(m,n)为衍射级次,θ
mn为衍射级(m,n)的方位角,φ
mn为衍射级为(m,n)的极化角,i为耦入光栅入射光线的入射极化角,φ为入射光线方位角,n为折射率,d
x,d
y分别是二维光栅横向周期和纵向周期,λ为入射光波长。
在本优化实施例中,控制投影成像光线的倾斜方向为一维方向(沿 x方向)倾斜,根据目标衍射级在平板波导传播的两个条件和二维光栅方程,设计一个对应入射视场光线倾斜角度为6°的光栅波导元器件。如下表所示:
倾斜角度 | 0° | 6° |
H_FOV | 18° | 18° |
V_FOV | 32° | 32° |
h | 1mm | 1mm |
λ | 525nm | 525nm |
n | 1.7964 | 1.5659 |
duty ratio | 50% | 50% |
d | 454nm | 454nm |
其中,H_FOV为横向视场角,V_FOV为纵向视场角,h为平板波导/波导片的厚度,λ为入射光波长,n为平板波导折射率,duty ratio为光栅占空比,d为光栅周期。
第二种优化方式及第二组优化参数:
本优化实施例对波导片的倾斜夹角
和底角θ进行了进一步地优化,结合上述实施例可知,为消除杂散光,底角θ需要尽量取较小的值,为了得到较大的视场角,底角θ又需要取较大的值,请一并参见下表和图13,其示出了底角确定时(为25°)波导片在不同折射率和不同倾斜夹角的情况下的最大视场角。
图13具体绘制了三个不同倾斜角度和按个不同折射率的情况下最大视场角的示意图,其中,绘制了左右边界视场的光线图,由上表和图13可知,若不倾斜波导片,则需要增加折射率来增大视场角,例如,在波导片不进行倾斜的情况下,需要设计视场角为30°左右的视场角时需要采用折射率为1.8左右的波导片材质才能完成,而在本申请中,将波导片倾斜4°到8°之间,采用折射率为1.7左右的波导片材质即可实现30°的视场角。优选地,本申请实施例对波导片的各数据进行优化后,可得到一组设计参数以满足低折射率大市场的光场成像,且能够满足其他光学指标:底角θ选取27°,波导片相对于人体面部水平方向的倾斜夹角
选取4°,瞳距L选择22mm,近眼显示设备的眼盒横向大小D选取8mm,波导片选用H-K9L玻璃,可达到17.3°的视场角y,且视场角全角为40°。
