4.本技術に第4実施形態に係る表示装置
5.本技術に係る光投射装置の用途
6.本技術の変形例
従来、HMD(Head Mounted Display)のアイボックス(投影画像の視聴最適位置)が狭い場合や眼球回転などに応じて、アイボックスの位置やアイボックスへの光線の入射角度を調整するアイトラッキング装置(例えば特許文献1参照)が知られている。このアイトラッキング装置には、一般的に、光線の反射角度を可変な動的な機構が使用されている。しかしながら、このような動的な機構は、イニシャルアライメントや駆動の際にスペースを必要とし大型化を招くことに加えて、応答速度や調整状態のフィードバックが必要である。
図1は、4f光学系の基本構成を示す図である。4f光学系は、第1光学系、開口絞り及び第2光学系を含んで構成される。第1光学系の前側焦点位置近傍に表示パネル(物体面)が配置される。開口絞りの位置は、第1光学系の後側焦点位置及び第2光学系の前側焦点位置に略一致する。第2光学系の後側焦点位置近傍に表示パネルの中間像(像面)が形成される。なお、4f光学系において、開口絞りが無いとコントラストが低下して表示パネルの表示画像そのものが見えにくくなる。
図2Aは、結像光学系にHOEが設けられていない4f光学系を示す図である。図2Bは、結像光学系にHOEが設けられた4f光学系を示す図である。
図3は、本技術に係る光投射装置の概念を説明するための図である。本技術に係る光投射装置は、画像光(例えば図3における物体を表示する光)を生成する画像光生成系と、該画像光生成系で生成された画像光をユーザの眼球に装着された又は埋め込まれた光学素子(例えば眼球に装着されたHOE等の光学素子)へ投射する投射系とを備える。投射系は、画像光生成系からの画像光の光路上に配置された、少なくとも絞り位置が可変な絞りを含む。
図4A及び図4Bは、本技術に係る光投射装置を模した光学シミュレーション装置の態様1、2を示す図である。この光学シミュレーション装置は、画像光生成系に表示パネルを用い、眼球の代わりにカメラ(例えばレンズ及びイメージセンサ)を用いている。HOEは、カメラと一体的に設けられたものとしている。つまり、HOE及びカメラが一体に回転するようになっている。
以下、本技術の第1実施形態に係る表示装置について図面を用いて説明する。図5は、本技術の第1実施形態に係る表示装置を示す図である。
光投射装置10は、ユーザの頭部に装着された状態で使用される頭部装着型の光投射装置10である。光投射装置10は、ユーザの眼球に装着された又は埋め込まれた光学素子と共に表示装置(HMD)を構成する。
画像光生成系100の表示素子は、第1光学系201の前側焦点位置近傍に配置されている。表示素子としては、例えば液晶パネルなどの光源と組み合わせて用いられる2次元表示素子(表示パネル)であってもよいし、例えばLEDパネルなどの自発光型の2次元表示素子(表示パネル)であってもよい。自発光型の2次元表示素子の中では、特に、MOLED((Micro Organic light emitting diode)パネルのような高精細且つ発散角が制御可能なものが好適である。表示素子の発散角は、絞り203の案内部(例えば透過部)の最大径を十分にケーラー照明(テレセントリック照明)できるような発散角θ1(半角)を持つことが望ましい。
第1及び第2光学系201、202の各々は、一例として、屈折力(パワー)が凸レンズと同等の正の屈折力である光学部品又は屈折力の合計が凸レンズと同等の正の屈折力である複数の光学部品を含む。すなわち、該光学部品は、単独で凸レンズと同等の正の屈折力を有していてもよいし、複数組み合わされて凸レンズと同等の正の屈折力を有していてもよい。該光学部品としては、一例として、レンズ(例えば凸レンズ)、ホログラム光学素子、回折光学素子(DOE:Diffractive Optical Element)、凹面ミラー等が挙げられる。該光学部品は、収差が補正されていることが好ましい。補足すると、該光学部品は、表示素子の像を網膜に結像させるのに十分な結像性能があることが望ましく、収差補正の程度としては、視力0.5相当のMTF(Modulation Transfer Function)として、5.5LP/deg程度を必要とする。
絞り203は、第1光学系201の後側焦点位置近傍、すなわち表示素子のフーリエ面の位置に配置されている。絞り203は、眼球EBの回転に応じて、案内部(例えば透過部)の中心の座標を1次元方向又は2次元方向に移動させることができる。絞り203は、案内部の周辺に非案内部(例えば遮光部)を有する。
y=f2×tanθ2・・・(1)
x=f2×tanθ3・・・(2)
ymax=f2×tanθ2max=f1×tanθ1・・・(3)
光学素子300(眼球用光学素子)は、一例として、ユーザの眼球EBに装着されるコンタクトレンズ型の光学素子である。光学素子300としては、例えば回折光学素子(DOE:Diffractive Optical Element)、ホログラム光学素子(HOE:Holographic Optical Element)、メタマテリアル等を用いることができる。光学素子300は、第2光学系202からの画像光を屈折させて眼球EBの瞳孔を介して網膜に導く。この結果、画像光により表示される画像を現実世界に重畳して表示することができる。
以下、本技術の第1実施形態に係る光投射装置10及び該光投射装置10を備える表示装置の効果について説明する。
以下、本技術の第1実施形態に係る表示装置について図面を用いて説明する。図10は、本技術の第2実施形態に係る表示装置1を示す図である。
図12は、本技術の第3実施形態に係る表示装置2を示す図(主光線図)である。図13は、本技術の第3実施形態に係る表示装置2を示す図(周辺光線図)である。表示装置2では、光投射装置10がユーザの前方視野から外れた位置に配置されている点を除いて、第2実施形態に係る表示装置1と同様の構成を有する。
図14は、本技術の第4実施形態に係る表示装置3の態様1(眼球EBが正面を向いている状態)を示す図である。図15は、本技術の第4実施形態に係る表示装置3の態様2(眼球EBが斜めを向いている状態)を示す図である。表示装置3では、絞り203が有する画素アレイがデジタルミラーデバイス(DMD)である点を除いて、第2実施形態に係る表示装置1と同様の構成を有する。すなわち、表示装置3では、画素が反射型である。
以上の説明から明らかなように、本技術に係る光投射装置は、HMDの光投射装置として好適である。さらに、本技術に係る光投射装置は、広い表示視野を確保した状態で視線方向を決めることができるので、例えば自転車、オートバイ、自動車、航空機、船舶等の移動体への搭載用としても好適である。特に高速で移動する移動体においては、注意喚起、ナビゲーション等の情報提供が可能となる点で有効である。本技術は、光投射装置が搭載された移動体も提供することができる。
上記第1実施形態に係る光投射装置10、及び第2~第4実施形態に係る表示装置1~3は、適宜変更可能である。
