Abstract

An optical system and a near-eye display device are provided. The optical system includes a light-emitting source, a light conversion unit, and a first reflection unit. The light conversion unit is on a light exit side of the light-emitting source, and a first surface of the light conversion unit faces a light exit surface of the light-emitting source. The first reflection unit is on a side of the light conversion unit away from the light-emitting source, and a first angle is provided between a second surface of the first reflection unit and the first surface. A first light emitted by the light-emitting source is converted by the light conversion unit into a second light, and the second light is reflected by the first reflection unit.
