Abstract

A multi-focal picture generation apparatus, a head-up display apparatus, a related method, and a device are provided. The multi-focal picture generation apparatus includes a picture generation unit, an optical splitter, and a focal length adjuster. The picture generation unit is configured to generate a first focal plane of the multi-focal picture generation apparatus. The optical splitter is configured to: perform optical splitting on the picture generation unit, and irradiate a light beam obtained through optical splitting onto a surface of the focal length adjuster. The focal length adjuster is configured to perform focal length adjustment on the light beam irradiated onto the surface of the focal length adjuster, to generate a second focal plane of the multi-focal picture generation apparatus.

Claims (31)

1 . A picture generation apparatus, comprising a picture generation unit, an optical splitter, and a focal length adjuster, wherein

the picture generation unit is configured to generate a first focal plane of the picture generation apparatus;

the optical splitter is configured to: perform optical splitting on the picture generation unit, and irradiate a light beam obtained through optical splitting onto a surface of the focal length adjuster; and

the focal length adjuster is configured to perform focal length adjustment on the light beam irradiated onto the surface of the focal length adjuster.

2 . The picture generation apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the focal length adjuster is configured to generate a second focal plane of the picture generation apparatus.

3 . The picture generation apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein different phase information is loaded onto the focal length adjuster, to enable the picture generation apparatus to generate a plurality of second focal planes, wherein the different phase information corresponds to different second focal planes.

4 . The picture generation apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of second focal planes are a plurality of consecutive focal planes.

5 . The picture generation apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the focal length adjuster comprises a plurality of imaging areas, and different imaging areas correspond to different second focal planes.

6 . The picture generation apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein different phase information is loaded in the different imaging areas.

7 . The picture generation apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein at least one of a quantity, a shape, or a focal length of the plurality of imaging areas is dynamically configurable.

8 . The picture generation apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the picture generation unit comprises a light source, and the optical splitter is configured to split a light beam generated by the light source.

9 . The picture generation apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the light source is a polychromatic light source, and the focal length adjuster performs focal length adjustment on light sources with different colors in the polychromatic light source in a time division multiplexing manner.

10 . A picture generation method, comprising:

generating a first focal plane by using a picture generation unit;

performing optical splitting on the picture generation unit by using an optical splitter, and irradiating a light beam obtained through optical splitting onto a surface of a focal length adjuster; and

performing focal length adjustment on the light beam irradiated onto the surface of the focal length adjuster by using the focal length adjuster.

11 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises: generating a second focal plane of a picture generation apparatus by using the focal length adjuster.

12 . The method according to claim ii, wherein that a second focal plane of a picture generation apparatus is generated by using the focal length adjuster comprises:

loading different phase information onto the focal length adjuster, to generate a plurality of second focal planes, wherein the different phase information corresponds to different second focal planes.

13 . The method according to claim 12 , wherein the plurality of second focal planes are a plurality of consecutive focal planes.

14 . The method according to claim 12 , wherein the method comprises:

dividing the focal length adjuster into a plurality of imaging areas, wherein different imaging areas correspond to different second focal planes.

15 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein the method further comprises:

loading different phase information in the different imaging areas.

16 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein at least one of a quantity, a shape, or a focal length of the plurality of imaging areas is dynamically configurable.

17 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the picture generation unit comprises a light source, and a light beam generated by the light source is split by using the optical splitter.

18 . A display apparatus, comprising the picture generation apparatus according to claim 1 and an imaging component, wherein

the picture generation apparatus is configured to generate a first picture; and

the imaging component is configured to perform imaging on the first picture to generate a second picture.

19 . The display apparatus according to claim 18 , wherein the display apparatus further comprises an imaging screen, and the imaging screen is disposed on a focal plane of the picture generation apparatus.

20 . A driving device, comprising: an operator cabin, a windshield mounted in the operator cabin, and the display apparatus according to claim 18 , wherein the display apparatus is mounted in the operator cabin, and the windshield performs reflection imaging on a second picture generated by the display apparatus.
