Title: Optical system of augmented reality head-up display
Inventor: ANDREY MIKHAILOVICH BELKIN
IPC: G02B27/01
Filed: 2021-10-28
Abstract: An optical system 200 includes a picture generation unit 206 which outputs an optical image 220, a correcting optical element 204, and a combiner 202. Both the correcting optical element and the combiner have surfaces including a second or higher order aspherical surface, a second or higher order decentred aspherical surface or a freeform surface. In the correcting optical element this is a convex reflective surface. In the combiner this applies to both a concave reflective surface 210 and a convex transparent surface 212. The concave reflective surface reflects the optical image from the correcting optical element toward an eye box 106 and the convex transparent surface permits external light 222 to pass through the combiner and combine with the optical image. An optical system also has surfaces defined differently. Instead, the correcting optical element ensures that a value of an angle between imaginary and real observation directions through the combiner from an eye position inside the eye box ≤ 1 milliradian. Also, the convex reflective surface of the correcting optical element ensures that a deviation ῳ from a nominal value, of an angle between chief rays for a left and right eye within the eye box ≤ 2 milliradians.
