Abstract

An optical lens assembly includes a phase retarder; a partial-reflective-partial-transmissive element; and in order from a visual side to an image source side: an absorptive polarizer, a reflective polarizer, a first lens with refractive power, a second lens with refractive power, and a third lens with positive refractive power; wherein the phase retarder and the partial-reflective-partial-transmissive element are sequentially arranged from the visual side to the image source side, and are disposed between the reflective polarizer and the third lens. The optical lens assembly may become lightweight and have good image quality when satisfying a specific condition.
