Abstract

Provided is a near-to-eye display device, comprising: a display panel, a light-splitting layer on a light-exit side of the display panel, an imaging lens group on the side of the light-splitting layer away from the display panel, a phase delay layer on the side of the display panel away from the light-splitting layer, a transflective layer on the side of phase delay layer away from display panel. The display panel comprises multiple display units, some of which emit first linearly-polarized light, the others emit second linearly-polarized light; first linearly-polarized light transmits through the light-splitting layer and is imaged on a first focal plane by the imaging lens group, second linearly-polarized light is reflected by the light-splitting layer and transflective layer, is subjected to polarization state transition through the phase delay layer, finally transmits through light-splitting layer and is imaged on a second focal plane by the imaging lens group.
