Abstract

Provided are a display module and augmented reality glasses, which relate to the technical field of augmented reality. The display module includes: a bracket; and a first diffractive waveguide and a second diffractive waveguide that are arranged on the bracket, the first diffractive waveguide and the second diffractive waveguide are configured to correspond to eyes of a user in one-to-one correspondence; the first diffractive waveguide includes a first region that has a projection on the bracket, the first region has a first notch at a side thereof close to the second diffractive waveguide, and the first notch faces towards the second diffractive waveguide. This can reduce the volume of the augmented reality glasses and is beneficial to the miniaturized design of the augmented reality glasses.

Claims (44)

1. A display module, comprising:

a bracket; and

a first diffractive waveguide and a second diffractive waveguide that are arranged on the bracket, wherein the first diffractive waveguide and the second diffractive waveguide are configured to correspond to eyes of a user in one-to-one correspondence;

wherein the first diffractive waveguide comprises a first region that has a projection on the bracket, the first region has a first notch at a side thereof close to the second diffractive waveguide, and the first notch faces towards the second diffractive waveguide;

the second diffractive waveguide comprises a second region that has a projection on the bracket, the second region has a second notch on a side thereof close to the first diffractive waveguide, and the second notch faces towards the first diffractive waveguide; and

the first notch is asymmetrical to the second notch.

2. The display module according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a camera unit arranged on the bracket at a position corresponding to a target region, the target region comprising the first notch and a region between the first notch and the second diffractive waveguide.

3. The display module according to claim 2 , further comprising:

an image processing chip arranged on the bracket at the position corresponding to the target region.

4. The display module according to claim 1 , wherein the first notch and the second notch are disposed oppositely to each other.

5. The display module according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a camera unit arranged on the bracket at a position corresponding to a target region, the target region comprising the first notch, the second notch, and a region between the first notch and the second notch.

6. The display module according to claim 5 , further comprising:

an image processing chip arranged on the bracket at the position corresponding to the target region.

7. The display module according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first notch and the second notch is in a concave shape.

8. The display module according to claim 1 , wherein the first notch and the second notch have different shapes.

9. The display module according to claim 1 , wherein the first diffractive waveguide comprises:

a first entrance pupil grating arranged on a side of the first region facing away from the second diffractive waveguide, and configured to obtain an optical image for transmission of the optical image on the first diffractive waveguide; and

a first exit pupil grating arranged in a region of the first diffractive waveguide other than the first region and configured to receive the optical image transmitted on the first diffractive waveguide and output the optical image for human eye perception.

10. The display module according to claim 9 , further comprising:

a first optical machine arranged between the bracket and the first entrance pupil grating, corresponding to the first entrance pupil grating, and configured to transmit the optical image; and

a first light guide element arranged between the first optical machine and the first entrance pupil grating and configured to project the optical image transmitted by the first optical machine to the first entrance pupil grating.

11. The display module according to claim 10 , wherein the first light guide element is configured to adjust the optical image transmitted by the first optical machine by 90° for inputting of the optical image into the first entrance pupil grating.

12. The display module according to claim 10 , wherein the second diffractive waveguide comprises:

a second entrance pupil grating arranged on a side of the second region facing away from the first diffractive waveguide and configured to obtain the optical image for transmission of the optical image on the second diffractive waveguide; and

a second exit pupil grating arranged in a region of the second diffractive waveguide other than the second region, and configured to receive the optical image transmitted on the second diffractive waveguide and output the optical image for human eye perception.

13. The display module according to claim 12 , further comprising:

a second optical machine arranged between the bracket and the second entrance pupil grating, corresponding to the second entrance pupil grating, and configured to transmit the optical image; and

a second light guide element arranged between the second optical machine and the second entrance pupil grating, and configured to project the optical image transmitted by the second optical machine to the second entrance pupil grating.

14. The display module according to claim 13 , wherein the second light guide element is configured to adjust the optical image transmitted by the second optical engine by 90° for inputting of the optical image into the second entrance pupil grating.

15. The display module according to claim 1 , wherein the bracket is strip-shaped, the first diffractive waveguide and the second diffractive waveguide are mirrored with respect to each other relative to a center line of the bracket, and the center line is perpendicular to a length direction of the bracket.

16. Augmented reality glasses, comprising the display module according to claim 1 .

17. The augmented reality glasses according to claim 16 , further comprising:

a frame,

wherein the display module is detachably arranged on the frame.

18. The augmented reality glasses according to claim 17 , further comprising:

a control button arranged on a leg, the leg and the frame being formed into one piece.

19. A display module, comprising:

a bracket; and

a first diffractive waveguide and a second diffractive waveguide that are arranged on the bracket, wherein the first diffractive waveguide and the second diffractive waveguide are configured to correspond to eyes of a user in one-to-one correspondence;

wherein the first diffractive waveguide comprises a first region that has a projection on the bracket, the first region has a first notch at a side thereof close to the second diffractive waveguide, and the first notch faces towards the second diffractive waveguide;

the second diffractive waveguide comprises a second region that has a projection on the bracket, the second region has a second notch on a side thereof close to the first diffractive waveguide, and the second notch faces towards the first diffractive waveguide; and

the first notch and the second notch have different shapes.
