The respective sub-lens groups adopt a focal length combination of “positive, negative, positive, and positive” or “positive, negative, positive, and negative,” the combination of the sub-lens groups is relatively complex, which can further correct aberrations, and has better processability, thereby fully correcting the aberrations of the system, and improving the optical resolution of the system.
[0072] More importantly, with the transmission and reflection properties of the first optical element, the second optical element has a reflection surface to effectively fold the optical path, which reduces the overall size of the eyepiece optical system, and improves the possibility of subsequent mass production. On the basis of miniaturization, cost and weight reduction for the article, the aberrations of the optical system are greatly eliminated, and the basic optical indicators are also improved to ensure high imaging quality and increase the size of the picture angle. Therefore, an observer can watch large images of full frame, high definition and uniform image quality without any distortion and get visual experience of high liveness via the present invention, and the present article is suitable for head-mounted near-to-eye display devices and similar devices.

[0115] In the following examples, a diaphragm E may be the exit pupil of imaging for the eyepiece optical system, which is a virtual light exit aperture. When the pupils of the human eyes are at the diaphragm position, the best imaging effect can be observed. The spot diagram provided in the following embodiment reflects a geometric structure of the imaging of the optical system, ignores the diffraction effect, and is represented by defocused spots formed by the cross-section of the focused image plane with the specified field-of-view and the light of the specified wavelength, which can include multiple fields-of-view and light of multiple wavelengths at the same time. Therefore, the quality of the imaging quality of the optical system can be directly measured by the density, shape, and size of the defocused spots of the spot diagram, and the chromatic aberration of the optical system can be directly measured by the dislocation degree of the defocused spots with different wavelengths of the spot diagram. A smaller Root Mean Square (RMS) radius of the spot diagram results in a higher imaging quality of the optical system.

[0137] The present application provides a head-mounted near-to-eye display device, including a miniature image displayer, and further including the reflective eyepiece optical system according to any one of the above items; the eyepiece optical system is located between the human eyes and the miniature image displayer.
[0138] Preferably, the miniature image display is an organic electroluminescent device.
[0139] Preferably, the head-mounted near-to-eye display device includes two identical reflective eyepiece optical systems.
[0140] To sum up, the first lens group of the reflective eyepiece optical system in the above examples of the present invention includes four sub-lens groups, which are the first sub-lens group, the second sub-lens group, the third sub-lens group, and the fourth sub-lens group, respectively. The first sub-lens group, the second sub-lens group, the third sub-lens group, and the fourth sub-lens group adopt a specific focal length combination, which fully corrects the aberrations of the system and improves the optical resolution of the system. More importantly, with the transmission and reflection properties of the first optical element, the second optical element has a reflection surface, which effectively folds the optical path, reduces the overall size of the eyepiece optical system, and improves the possibility of subsequent mass production. On the basis of miniaturization, cost and weight reduction for the article, the aberrations of the optical system are greatly eliminated, and the basic optical indicators are also improved, ensuring high image quality and increasing the size of the picture angle. Therefore, an observer can watch large images of full frame, high definition and uniform image quality without any distortion and get visual experience of high liveness via the present invention, which is suitable for head-mounted near-to-eye display devices and similar devices thereof.
[0141] It should be understood that, for one of ordinary skill in the art, the foregoing description can be modified or altered, and all such modifications and alterations fall into the scope of the attached claims of the present invention.
