摘要:
A high-performance image-forming optical system made compact and thin by folding an optical path using reflecting surfaces arranged to minimize the number of reflections. The image-forming optical system has a first prism placed on the object side and a second prism placed on the image side and does not form an intermediate image. The first prism has a first surface through which a light beam enters the first prism, a second surface reflecting the incident light beam in the prism, a third surface reflecting the reflected light beam in the prism, and a fourth surface through which the light beam exits from the prism. At least one of the second and third surfaces has a rotationally asymmetric curved surface configuration that gives a power to a light beam and corrects aberrations due to decentration. The second prism has at least one reflecting surface that reflects a light beam in the prism. The reflecting surface has a rotationally asymmetric surface configuration that gives a power to a light beam and corrects aberrations due to decentration.
摘要:
An optical system which is compact, lightweight and satisfactorily corrected for aberrations and may be suitably used as an imaging optical system or an ocular optical system for a head- or face-mounted image display apparatus which forms no intermediate image. The optical system includes an optical member (7) and a diffraction optical element (8), which are decentered with respect to each other. The optical member (7) has at least three adjacent optical surfaces, at least one of which is a curved surface. At least two reflections take place between the optical surfaces. The space between the optical surfaces is filled with a medium having a refractive index larger than 1. Light rays emitted from an image display device (6) enter the optical member (7) through a first transmitting surface (5) disposed to face the image display device (6) and are reflected by a first reflecting surface (3). The reflected light rays are reflected by a second reflecting surface (4) and led to an observer's eyeball through a second transmitting surface (3).

A decentered prism optical system suitable for use as an ocular optical system used in combination with an objective optical system and favorably corrected for pupil aberration. A prism optical system (7) which receives an image formed by an objective lens includes a decentered prism (7) having at least three surfaces (3 to 5) decentered with respect to each other, wherein the space between the at least three surfaces (3 to 5) is filled with a transparent medium having a refractive index not smaller than 1.3. The optical path is reflected at least twice in the optical system (7), and the optical paths of light rays do not intersect each other. At least one reflecting surface (4) has a rotationally asymmetric surface configuration having no axis of rotational symmetry in nor out of the surface. The optical system has both the function of optically transmitting a pupil (1) by image formation and the function of optically transmitting an image and is satisfactorily corrected for pupil aberration.

An image-forming optical system, e.g. a variable-magnification optical system, using a compact decentered optical system capable of providing a clear image of minimal distortion even at a wide field angle. The image-forming optical system includes a first lens unit G1 disposed on the object side and formed from a decentered optical system, and a second lens unit G2 disposed on the image side of the first lens unit G1 and having at least one lens. The decentered optical system has at least one rotationally asymmetric surface having no axis of rotational symmetry in nor out of the surface to correct rotationally asymmetric aberrations caused by decentration. In the case of a variable-magnification optical system, a magnification change is effected by changing at least one spacing between the lens units.

摘要:
A compact image display apparatus having a wide exit pupil diameter, which enables observation of an image that is flat and clear as far as the edges of visual field at a field angle of 40.degree. or more. The apparatus includes an image display device (8) for displaying an image, a relay optical system (7) for relaying the image to form a relay image, and an ocular optical system having a reflecting surface (2) that bends a bundle of light rays emanating from the relay optical system (7) and forming an exit pupil (1) of the relay image. The ocular optical system has an entrance-side optical surface (6) provided in an optical path extending from the relay optical system (7) to the reflecting surface (2), and an exit-side optical surface (5) provided in an optical path along which the ray bundle bent by the reflecting surface travels to reach the exit pupil (1) and having a power different from that of the entrance-side optical surface (6).
