Method of adjusting a display of binocular type comprising a pair of spectacles and display for the implementation of this method
View Patent ↗The invention provides an adjustment method for adjusting a binocular display, the display comprising for each eye of the wearer, an optical imager for shaping light beams corresponding to an image emitted by a beam generator device and for directing them towards each of the wearer's eyes so as to enable information content contained in a virtual image to be viewed, the display being associated with a pair of eyeglasses having two lenses supported by a frame. According to the invention, the method consists in moving at least one said lens ( 10 A, 10 B) relative to said frame ( 11 ) with three degrees of freedom, in order to obtain superposition of the two virtual images, each said imager being contained in said lens ( 10 A, 10 B) of said pair of eyeglasses.
1. An adjustment method for adjusting a binocular display, where the display has, for each eye of the wearer, an optical imager for shaping light beams emitted by a beam generator device to form an image directed towards each of the wearer's eyes so as to enable information content contained in a corresponding virtual image to be viewed, the display further supporting a pair of eyeglasses having two lenses supported by a frame, said lenses containing said optical imagers, said method comprising the steps of:
moving at least one said lens relative to said frame with three degrees of freedom, in order to obtain superposition of the two virtual images, wherein
said moving step includes a first step of pivoting at least one lens in its plane in order to obtain two virtual images that are parallel and a second step of pivoting at least one lens about a horizontal axis in order to align both virtual images on horizontal axis and a third step of pivoting at least one lens about an inclined axis in order to align both virtual images on a vertical axis.
2. A binocular display for implementing the adjustment method according to claim 1 , wherein in the display, each said imager is contained in said lens of said pair of eyeglasses, and
in that said display includes a total or partial rim for each lens, each rim including two fastener and adjustment means, first fastener and adjustment means connected to a central part connected to said frame above the nose rest, and second fastener and adjustment means connected to a side part secured to said frame in the proximity of each branch of the frame, said fastener and adjustment means assuring said moving steps.
3. A display according to claim 2 , wherein said second fastener and adjustment means are constituted by a sphere arranged in said side part in a ball-joint.
4. A display according to claim 1 , wherein said first fastener and adjustment means are constituted by two circular section elements that are superposed in the plane of the lens.
5. A display according to claim 4 , said sphere is arranged in the same horizontal plane as the lower element of the first fastener and adjustment means.
6. A display according to claim 1 , wherein said central part is formed by a slider of adjustable height on a part that is secured to the frame.
7. A display according to claim 1 , wherein each side branch of said slider includes two cylindrical housings of longitudinal axis parallel to the plane of symmetry of the slider and receiving said superposed that are adjustable in position along said longitudinal axis.
8. A display according to claim 1 , wherein said adjustments are performed by means of screws.
