本發明是有關於一種影像顯示裝置,且特別是有關於一種可提升輸出影像的視野範圍的影像顯示裝置。The present invention relates to an image display device, and in particular to an image display device capable of improving the visual range of an output image.
在擴增實境(Augmented Reality, AR)的技術領域中,多採用固定影像深度之光學設計,例如波導式(waveguide)以及鳥盆式(birdbath)兩種架構。鳥盆式架構利用幾何光學方式實現大視野與優異的影像解析度,但其光學效率及整機輕薄度受光學架構限制。波導式架構雖能實現輕薄眼鏡型態的擴增實境產品,但其視野受限於選用基板的折射率有其視野的理論上限值。同時上述兩者架構因其固定影像焦面的特性,會使用者會因輻輳調節衝突(Vergence Accommodation Conflict,VAC)現象而產生不適感。In the field of augmented reality (AR) technology, fixed image depth optical designs are often used, such as waveguide and birdbath architectures. The birdbath architecture uses geometric optics to achieve a large field of view and excellent image resolution, but its optical efficiency and overall thinness are limited by the optical architecture. Although the waveguide architecture can achieve thin and light glasses-type augmented reality products, its field of view is limited by the refractive index of the selected substrate, which has a theoretical upper limit of its field of view. At the same time, due to the characteristics of the above two architectures with fixed image focal planes, users will feel uncomfortable due to the Vergence Accommodation Conflict (VAC) phenomenon.
視網膜投影的擴增實境裝置可克服上述的輻輳調節衝突現象所產生不適感。在視網膜投影設計中,大多使用全像光學元件(holographic optical element, HOE)。透過全像光學元件,可記錄光學元件的特性而得到具有大的視野的影像。但由於全像光學元件為繞射元件,對於入射光之波長相當敏感,故這一類方案大多僅使用在單色光源的應用上。Retina projection augmented reality devices can overcome the discomfort caused by the above-mentioned radiation adjustment conflict phenomenon. In retina projection design, holographic optical elements (HOE) are mostly used. Through holographic optical elements, the characteristics of optical elements can be recorded to obtain images with a large field of view. However, since holographic optical elements are diffraction elements, they are very sensitive to the wavelength of incident light, so this type of solution is mostly used only in applications with monochromatic light sources.
本發明提供一種影像顯示裝置,可提升輸出影像的視野。The present invention provides an image display device which can improve the visual field of output images.
本發明的影像顯示裝置包括多個微透鏡組以及成像裝置。微透鏡組以陣列形式排列。微透鏡組接收顯示影像,並分別產生多個影像光束,影像光束的行進方向不相互平行。成像裝置接收影像光束,聚焦影像光束以分別產生多個影像光束,並投射影像光束至目標區,以使各影像光束在目標區進行成像。The image display device of the present invention includes a plurality of micro lens groups and an imaging device.

The imaging device receives the image beams, focuses the image beams to generate a plurality of image beams respectively, and projects the image beams to a target area so that each image beam forms an image in the target area.
基於上述,本發明的影像顯示裝置透過微透鏡組以產生多個行進方向不相互平行的影像光束,並藉以擴展輸出影像的視野範圍(Field of View, FOV),並可避免全像光學元件( holographic所產生的色散現象,提高影像的品質。Based on the above, the image display device of the present invention generates multiple image light beams with non-parallel travel directions through a micro lens set, thereby expanding the field of view (FOV) of the output image, avoiding the dispersion phenomenon caused by the holographic optical element, and improving the image quality.

Furthermore, under the premise that the image field of the output image is effectively expanded, when the user rotates the eyeball, there will be no image loss due to the image point not falling in the pupil.
綜上所述,本發明的影像顯示裝置透過設置多個微透鏡組,並使微透鏡組可產生多個不同角度且不相互干涉的平行影像光束,並藉以擴展影像光束的分佈範圍。並且,藉由成像裝置聚焦影像光束在目標區產生多個成像點。透過拼接多個成像點對應的多個輸出子影像來產生輸出影像。如此一來,成像點的分佈區域可以有效得到擴展,輸出影像的視野可對應得到擴展。例如,當將人眼放在中心視點時,當轉動眼球會切換所觀看的視點,能在人眼視網膜上將影像拼接成較大視野之影像。並且,在本發明實施例中,可在不需要過大的空間來設置微透鏡組,則可達成擴展輸出影像的視野的效果,同時可在使用者的眼球轉動時,保有可視的影像。In summary, the image display device of the present invention is equipped with multiple micro-lens groups, and the micro-lens groups can generate multiple parallel image light beams at different angles and without interfering with each other, thereby expanding the distribution range of the image light beam. In addition, the image light beam is focused by the imaging device to generate multiple imaging points in the target area. The output image is generated by splicing multiple output sub-images corresponding to the multiple imaging points. In this way, the distribution area of the imaging points can be effectively expanded, and the field of view of the output image can be expanded accordingly. For example, when the human eye is placed at the central viewpoint, the viewpoint of viewing will be switched when the eyeball is rotated, and the image can be spliced into an image with a larger field of view on the retina of the human eye. Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the microlens set can be arranged without requiring too much space, thereby achieving the effect of expanding the visual field of the output image, and at the same time, the visible image can be maintained when the user's eyeballs move.
