Abstract

The present disclosure provides an optical apparatus including a light source for generating light, where the light includes a first polarized light of a first phase. The optical apparatus further includes an adjustment structure for changing a propagation path of the light. The adjustment structure includes a polarization beam splitting structure for reflecting the first polarized light.

Claims (39)

1. An optical apparatus, comprising:

a light source, configured to generate light, the light comprising a first polarized light having a first phase and a second polarized light having a second phase, the first phase being different from the second phase;

an adjustment structure, configured to change a propagation path of the light and including:

a plate configured to convert the second polarized light into converted first polarized light;

a polarization beam splitting structure configured to reflect the converted first polarized light from the plate to obtain reflected first polarized light; and

an opaque structure disposed at a side of the polarization beam splitting structure that is away from the plate and configured to avoid transmission of light from surrounding environment to the plate; and

a polarizer configured to receive the second polarized light in the light and guide the second polarized light to the plate.

2. The optical apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the plate includes a quarter-wave plate.

3. The optical apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the plate is disposed inclined with respect to a direction of the light emitted from the light source; and

the polarization beam splitting structure has a curved structure.

4. The optical apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the adjustment structure further includes a transflective structure disposed at a side of the plate that is away from the polarization beam splitting structure and being configured to reflect the converted first polarized light by the plate to the polarization beam splitting structure.

5. The optical apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the reflected first polarized light by the polarization beam splitting structure is transmitted through the plate and the transflective structure to be incident on a user's eyes.

6. The optical apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein:

the transflective structure includes a pellicle mirror.

7. The optical apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the polarizer includes a color filter to selectively allow light vibrates in one direction to pass through.

8. An optical apparatus comprising:

a light source configured to generate light, the light comprising a first polarized light having a first phase and a second polarized light having a second phase, the first phase being different from the second phase; and

an adjustment structure configured to change a propagation path of the light and including:

a transflective structure configured to reflect the first polarized light;

a polarization beam splitting structure configured to further reflect the first polarized light from the transflective structure; and

an opaque structure disposed at a side of the polarization beam splitting structure that is away from the transflective structure and configured to avoid transmission of light from surrounding environment to the transflective structure; and

a polarizer configured to receive the first polarized light in the light and guide the first polarized light to the transflective structure.

9. The optical apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein:

the polarizer includes a color filter to selectively allow light vibrates in one direction to pass through.

10. The optical apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein:

the transflective structure includes a pellicle mirror.

11. A wearable device, comprising:

a light source, configured to generate light, the light comprising a first polarized light having a first phase and a second polarized light having a second phase, the first phase being different from the second phase;

an adjustment structure, configured to change a propagation path of the light and including:

a plate configured to convert the second polarized light into converted first polarized light;

a polarization beam splitting structure configured to reflect the converted first polarized light from the plate to obtain reflected first polarized light; and

an opaque structure disposed at a side of the polarization beam splitting structure that is away from the plate and configured to avoid transmission of light from surrounding environment to the plate; and

a polarizer configured to receive the second polarized light in the light and guide the second polarized light to the plate.

12. The optical apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein:

the first polarized light reflected by the polarization beam splitting structure is incident on a user's eyes after passing through the transflective structure.
