Title:
HEAD-MOUNTED DISPLAY AND METHOD FOR DESIGNING WIDE-FOCUS LENS USED IN SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/079906
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a head-mounted display whereby it is possible to view a stereoscopic image without suffering visual fatigue due to vergence-accommodation conflict. This head-mounted display 1 comprises: a display device 3 for displaying left-eye and right-eye images 3a, 3b on a screen 3c; left-eye and right-eye virtual-image-forming optical systems 4a, 4b respectively arranged for the left-eye and right-eye images on the screen; and left-eye and right-eye wide-focus lenses 5a, 5b in which the focal length is negative and has a range, the wide-focus lenses 5a, 5b being respectively arranged so as to be superposed in the respective optical axis directions relative to the left-eye and right-eye virtual-image-forming optical systems. Virtual images of left-eye and right-eye images formed by the left-eye and right-eye virtual-image-forming optical systems are respectively displayed in a near range by the left-eye and right-eye wide-focus lenses, whereby the allowable levels of vergence and accommodation are expanded in the near field, and stereoscopic images can be viewed in a wide area in the near field without suffering visual fatigue due to the vergence-accommodation conflict.
