Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a video display device,
In particular, the present invention relates to a head- or face-mounted image display device that can be held on the observer's head or face.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, displays such as televisions, CRTs for displaying images on a computer, LCDs, etc.
Due to the demand for the viewer to experience a greater sense of immersion and power, a display screen with a larger size and a higher resolution is required. Further, in recent years, various large-sized displays have been developed in order to obtain the effect of virtual reality, and the conditions are also wide angle of view and high resolution.

On the other hand, even if the display is small, if the user can observe the screen by enlarging it, the observation angle of view becomes large, the immersive feeling and the feeling of power increase, and the effects such as virtual reality can be obtained. Therefore, various small head-mounted image display devices have been developed.

Against this background, the applicant of the present invention has invented a video display device utilizing an eccentrically arranged eyepiece optical system, a eccentrically arranged relay optical system, and an eccentricity correction optical system. I have applied for it as Japanese Patent No. 5-21208.
This embodiment is shown in FIG. In the figure, 22 is the observer's pupil position, 23 is the ocular concave mirror, 24 is the observer's visual axis, 28
Is a decentering correction optical system, 34 is a two-dimensional image display element, and 35 is a relay optical system.

[0005]

The present applicant has found the need for further improvement of the video display device of the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application No. 5-21208. This will be explained below. When an eccentric magnifying glass is used as the eyepiece optical system of the image display device to be mounted on the head, the distance from the observer's pupil position to the eyepiece optical system does not interfere with the observer's eyes and a feeling of oppression is obtained. The distance is preferably 30 mm or more, which is a distance that does not occur, but on the other hand, in order to realize a small size, a wide angle of view, and a high resolution, it is preferable that the distance is as short as possible. Further, the angle between the visual axis immediately after the observer's pupil and the visual axis after being reflected by the eyepiece optical system must be 40 ° or more in order not to interfere with the face or the head.
The smaller this angle is, the less the occurrence of aberrations.

In the case of an image display apparatus using an eyepiece optical system having such a condition, it is expected that the eyeglasses worn by an observer may interfere with the optical system and the optical path may be blocked to some extent. It may be difficult to observe the electronic image of the two-dimensional image display device while it is worn. Therefore, it is important to correct the diopter of the image display device according to the eyesight of the observer. However, a relatively complex optical having a wide angle of view and high resolution, which is configured by the eyepiece optical system, the decentering correction optical system, the relay optical system, and the two-dimensional image display element as shown in the above-mentioned conventional technique. The diopter correction method in the image display device by the system configuration has not been realized.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and its object is to provide an eyepiece optical system, an eccentricity correction optical system, and a relay optical system which are optical elements constituting an optical system of an image display device. And a video display device capable of realizing diopter correction by a simple method of moving at least one optical element of a two-dimensional image display element.

[0008]

An image display device of the present invention that achieves the above object comprises an image display element having a screen for forming an image, a relay optical system for relaying the image to form a relay image. An eyepiece optical system that forms an exit pupil by a light flux that has passed through the relay optical system to project the relay image into an observer's eyeball, and a plurality of optical surfaces between the relay optical system and the eyepiece optical system. In a video display device having an eccentricity correction optical system in which the surface closest to the relay optical system and the surface closest to the eyepiece optical system are eccentric with each other, a screen of the video display element, the relay optical The optical surface of the system, the optical surface of the decentering correction optical system, or at least one optical element in the eyepiece optical system is movably provided so as to correct diopter. Is a thing

In this case, the at least one movable
It is desirable that the two optical elements move eccentrically from the optical axis.

It is also possible to arrange the movable optical element such that the distance from the observer's pupil to the two-dimensional image display element does not change even if the movable at least one optical element is moved.

[0011]

The reason and operation of the above construction will be described below based on the explanation of the principle of the present invention. FIG. 8 shows an optical path diagram of the optical system of the image display device of the present invention (Example 1 described later). As shown in FIG. 8, the overall configuration of the optical system is as follows: a two-dimensional image display element 5 that displays an observation image, a relay optical system 4 that projects a real image of the two-dimensional image display element 5 into the air, and the real image in the air. Eyepiece optical system 2 for magnifying and projecting on the screen, and the relay optical system 4
And the eyepiece optical system 2 and the decentering correction optical system 3 each surface of which is decentered. Here, the eccentricity correction optical system 3 is for correcting the inclination and curvature of the image plane by the eyepiece optical system 2 arranged eccentrically from the visual axis 7 after reflection and for inclining the optical axis.

Incidentally, in order to perform diopter correction, a method of inserting a diopter correction lens or the like into the optical path may be considered.
This is difficult in the video display device having the above configuration.
It is impossible to insert anything other than a contact lens between the observer's pupil 1 and the eyepiece optical system 2. No light can be inserted between the eyepiece optical system 2 and the eccentricity correction optical system 3 because the light rays pass through it in the vertical and horizontal directions. Between the eccentricity correction optical system 3 and the relay optical system 4, and between the relay optical systems 4 and 2.
There is no space between the three-dimensional image display elements 5, and conversely,
If you make that allowance in any of the intervals, the device gets bigger,
It gets complicated.

Therefore, basically, if any one of the optical elements constituting the optical system is moved to change the power arrangement of the entire optical system and the diopter correction can be easily performed, the entire apparatus can be corrected. It is possible to add value to the image display device at low cost without increasing the size.

Here, the behavior of light rays when an optical element having power, which is a diopter correction element of the image display device having the diopter correction function of the present invention, is moved by using paraxial theory by a thin lens. explain. FIG. 7 shows paraxial ray tracing with a thin lens. The focal length of the thin lens L is f and the power is φ. As shown in FIG. 7, the object point P and the image point P ′ are conjugate, and the distances from the lens L to the object point P and the image point P ′ are s (however, minus in the figure), s ′, and the object point P. , U is the tilt angle of the paraxial ray at the image point P ′ (however, minus in the figure), u ′ is the ray height at the lens L, and the basic expression for imaging in this case is: u ′ = u + hφ ... (1) 1 / s' = 1 / s + 1 / f is expressed by (2).

For example, a light ray when the lens L is moved to the object point side by Δs is shown by a broken line in FIG. It is assumed that the ray height is reduced by Δh, the tilt angle on the image point side is u ″, and the distance from the lens L to the image point is s ″. Regarding the tilt angle, since h in Expression (1) is h-Δh, u ″ is represented by u ″ = u + (h−Δh) φ (3), and h> 0, Δh> 0 , Φ> 0, the following can be said by comparing equation (1) and equation (3): u ′> u ″ (4).

On the other hand, with respect to the distance from the lens L to the image point, s ″ is 1 / s ″ = 1 / (s−Δs) + 1 / f since s in the equation (2) is s−Δs. .. (5) and s <0 and Δs <0. Therefore, comparing equation (2) and equation (5), s'<s"(6) can be said. .

Similar to the above-mentioned example, it can be considered that the ray height, the tilt angle, etc. accompanying the movement of each optical element also change based on the equations (1) and (2).

Next, how the guideline of the movement amount of the correction element is determined according to the correction amount of the diopter correction will be described by taking the relay optical system as an example. The focal length of the whole optical system is f _a ,
It is assumed that the distance from the object-side focal position to the object point is z (minus in the figure), and the distance from the image-side focal position to the image point is z ′. In FIG. 7, the relationship between f _a and z is shown by regarding the lens L as the entire optical system of the image display device of the present invention. Imaging type focus criterion, z · z '= - represented by f _a ² ····· (7). Here, the focal length of the relay optical system is f ₁ ,
Assuming that the magnification of other optical elements is β, it can be expressed as _follows : fa = f ₁ × β (8) Further, the diopter D representing the diopter is expressed as D = −z ′ / 1000 (9). As diopter correction element a relay optical system, when the correction amount of movement Delta] z, replaced by Delta] z a z of formula (7), equation (8), from _{(9), Δz = -f a} 2 / z '= _{-D × (f 1 × β)} 2/1000 ··· (10) becomes, for example, to the diopter correction -2 diopters is, f ₁ = 30 mm, if beta = 0.7, relay optical The system should be moved to the image side by about 0.9 mm.

Next, the power distribution of the entire optical system of the image display apparatus according to the present invention will be described, and the diopter correction method for myopia and hyperopia will be described. FIG. 1 shows the power distribution of the entire optical system and paraxial ray tracing. In the figure, 1 is a pupil,
Reference numeral 2 is an eyepiece reflection optical system, 3 is a decentering correction optical system, 4 is a relay optical system, 5 is a two-dimensional image display element surface (object surface), 10 is a real image formed by the relay optical system, and 11 is an object paraxial ray. , 12 are paraxial rays of the pupil. For convenience of explanation, light rays are traced backward from the pupil 1 toward the two-dimensional image display element 5.

In the case of myopia, the refractive power of the crystalline lens in the eyeball is so strong that only a nearby object forms an image on the retina, and the optical system produces a light beam having a positive refractive power in the pupil. Need to make. On the contrary, in the case of hyperopia, it is necessary to make a light ray having a negative refractive power in the pupil. FIG. 2 shows ray tracing for myopia and FIG. 3 shows ray tracing for hyperopia. As is clear from FIGS. 2 and 3, in the case of myopia,
The object position 51 is closer to the pupil than the normal position, and conversely, in the case of hyperopia, the object position 52 is farther away. The diopter correction is to move the displaced object positions 51 and 52 to the object position 50 when the two-dimensional image display element is normal by moving the optical system.

The following description of the diopter correction is only for myopia. This is because the diopter correction for hyperopia is usually considered to be the opposite movement on the paraxial line. FIG. 4 shows ray tracing when the eyepiece optical system 2 is used as a diopter correction element.
The solid line 15 shows the ray trace before the correction, and the dotted line 16 shows the ray trace after the correction. However, the position of each element after the movement will be described by adding a "'" or """symbol.
As shown in the drawing, the movement of the eyepiece optical system 2 away from the pupil 1 lengthens the distance between the pupil 1 and the eyepiece optical system 2 and between the decentering correction optical system 3 and the eyepiece optical system 2. In the eyepiece optical system 2, the ray height becomes low and the refraction angle becomes small. The decentering correction optical system 3 is at the position 3 ', and the angle of incidence is small, so that the refraction angle is small. Subsequent relay optical system is 4 4 '
In the two-dimensional image display device, 5 is 5 ', but the power arrangement has not changed, so the original object position is 5' (FIG. 2) as indicated by the dotted line 16 in the figure.

FIG. 5 shows ray tracing when the decentering correction optical system 3 is used as a diopter correction element. The configuration of the figure is the same as that of FIG. As shown in the figure, by moving the eccentricity correction optical system 3 to the position 3 ″ on the pupil side, the real image position becomes closer to the eccentricity correction optical system 3 and the ray height becomes lower, so the refraction angle becomes smaller and the object The position can be far away.

FIG. 6 shows ray tracing when the relay optical system 4 is used as a diopter correction element. As shown in the figure, by moving the relay optical system 4 to the position 4 ″ on the pupil side, the refraction position becomes closer to the real image 10 (FIGS. 1 to 3), so the refraction angle becomes smaller and the object position becomes farther away. In addition, it is effective to correct the diopter by combining each lens of the relay optical system 4 or moving each lens independently. By changing the principal point position of the relay optical system 4, it becomes possible to move the object position and correct the diopter.

When the two-dimensional image element 5 is used as a diopter correction element, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 3, an object position 51 formed on the pupil 1 side in the case of myopia and on the opposite side in the case of hyperopia, 52
It is obvious that the two-dimensional image display element 5 may be moved to the above position.

Besides the above, it is naturally possible to combine the respective diopter correction elements to perform diopter correction.
In addition, when the observation angle of view is wide and each optical element is decentered, it often does not particularly apply to the paraxial theory, and unless a plurality of diopter correction elements are used, the amount of aberration that occurs is large. Can also be considered. Further, when each optical element is eccentrically provided, it is more effective to decenter the diopter correction element and to suppress the occurrence of aberration.

Further, from the pupil position 1 to the two-dimensional image display element 5
If only the diopter correction element can be moved without changing the distance to the diopter correction, the overall size of the device does not change and the appearance of the device is simple. It is more desirable because the moving part can be made smaller.

In the above-described embodiments, the correction effect is particularly good in the fourth and eighth embodiments in which the diopter correction is performed by eccentrically moving. In addition, it is the first, second, fourth, sixth, and seventh embodiments that perform the diopter correction without changing the position of the pupil position 1 and the position of the two-dimensional image display element 5, and it is possible to reduce the movable portion. Since the size of the device itself does not change, it can be made smaller.

The video display device of the present invention has been described above based on some embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments and various modifications can be made. The inventions in the claims can be further configured as follows.
