[0090] As illustrated in the FIG. 16, the binocular head-mounted display optical system comprises an image display source 1 and the left and the right set optical magnifying lens set; wherein each set of the optical magnifying lens comprises two pieces of optical magnifying combination lens vertically stacked together.

[0091] In order to fulfill certain specific needs, the optical elements in the head-mounted display optical system provided by the embodiments is able to be selectively add anti-reflective coating, such as functional coatings like hard coating and anti fog coating.

[0092] In the embodiments of the head-mounted display optical system, as illustrated in the FIG. 9 to FIG. 16, the left and the right optical magnifying lens set are independent elements. When the pupil spacing of the binocular head-mounted VR display device does not require adjustment, the convex lens with skirt and the focusing thin optical element with a central hollow-out region of the left and the right optical magnifying combination lens are able to be designed as integrally molded. The convex lens and the focusing thin optical element are combined together by optical cement to form a one-body optical magnifying combination lens suitable for both eyes.

[0093] The present invention further provides a head-mounted virtual reality display device which is able to be applied for single eye or both eyes. The optical system adopts the optical magnifying combination lens of the present invention. The binocular optical system is illustrated in the FIG. 9 to the FIG. 16.

[0094] The present invention adopts a special optical magnifying combination lens which is able to significantly enlarge the field of vision of the image display system. When the optical magnifying combination lens is applied in the binocular head-mounted virtual reality display device, images with optical parallax are display on the left and the right screen by the image display source of the device, which is able to bring immense visual impact and shock to the user by the stereoscopic vision.

[0095] The present invention overcomes the problems of small diameter of the lens limiting the field of vision of the display system, reducing the user immersion, increasing the weight and bringing uncomfortable wearing experience to the user by solely adopting the conventional lens (spherical lens, aspheric lens or free-form optical lens) as the magnifying lens set for the head-mounted display device.

[0096] The focusing thin optical element in the present invention comprises thin optical elements with focusing function such as a Fresnel lens, Fresnel zone plate or binary optical element. The weight of the thin optical elements is light but the imaging quality is low. To combine the thin optical elements with the conventional lens is able to ensure the central image quality, and expands a peripheral field of view of a human eye, thus increasing user immersion. By adopting the focusing thin optical elements the weight of the system is significantly reduced, which relaxes the uncomfortable experience of the user.

[0097] Besides, the combination of the normal convex lens without skirts and the focusing thin optical element with a hollow-out region in the center easily causes skew and dislocation, which affects the accuracy of the optical magnifying combination lens. The present invention provides optical magnifying combination lens which adopts convex lens with skirt to stack with the focusing thin optical element, which is able to effectively reduce the difficulty of combining the convex lens and the focusing thin optical element and improve the yield of the optical magnifying combination lens.

[0098] The features, methods and procedures disclosed in the present invention are able to be combined arbitrarily except the conflicted features and/or steps.

[0099] Any features disclosed in the specifications (including any extra claims, abstracts and drawings) are able to be replaced with features with similar effects and function except explained otherwise, that is except being explained otherwise, every feature is just an example for a series feature with similar effects.

[0100] The present invention is not limited by the embodiments. The present invention is able to be extended to any new features and methods or new combinations of the features and methods disclosed in the specifications.
