(117) 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 foregoing content; the eyepiece optical system is located between the human eye and the miniature image displayer.

(118) Preferably, the miniature image display is an organic electroluminescent device.

(119) Preferably, the head-mounted near-to-eye display device includes two identical reflective eyepiece optical systems.

(120) To sum up, the first lens group of the reflective eyepiece optical system in the above examples of the present invention includes two sub-lens groups, which are the first sub-lens group, the second sub-lens group and the third sub-lens group, respectively, the effective focal lengths of the first sub-lens group, the second sub-lens group and the third sub-lens group adopt a combination of positive, negative and positive, which fully corrects the aberration 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 aberration of the optical system is greatly eliminated, and the basic optical indicators are also improved, ensuring high image quality and increasing the size of the picture angle. Thus 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.

(121) 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.
