Abstract

A method for adjusting a display device with a holder that can be fitted on the head of a user includes a front section in which two spectacle lenses are arranged which are connected to each other via a central part, an imaging unit secured to the holder, which generates an image, and an imaging optical system secured to the holder which, when the holder is fitted on the head of the user, images the generated image into an exit pupil such that the user can perceive it as a virtual image with his first eye. The first spectacle lens with the coupling-out section is positioned in such a way that the exit pupil of the imaging optical system coincides at least partially with the pupil of the first eye of the user when the holder is fitted on the head of the user.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for adjusting a display device, wherein the display device comprises a holder that can be fitted on the head of a user, the holder comprising a front section in which two spectacle lenses are arranged which are connected to each other via a central part, an imaging unit secured to the holder, which generates an image, and an imaging optical system secured to the holder which, when the holder is fitted on the head of the user, images the generated image into an exit pupil such that the user can perceive it as a virtual image with his first eye, wherein the first spectacle lens is part of the imaging optical system and the generated image is guided in the first spectacle lens and is coupled out of the first spectacle lens via a coupling-out section, the adjusting method comprising:
positioning the first spectacle lens with the coupling-out section such that the exit pupil of the imaging optical system coincides at least partially with the pupil of the first eye of the user when the holder is fitted on the head of the user,
wherein the step of positioning of the first spectacle lens is carried out in dependence on a measurement parameter for the distance between the first eye of the user and the associated temple of the user.

2. The adjustment method according to claim 1 , wherein the exit pupil is arranged along a first direction which runs from a first to a second lateral end of the front section by the positioning of the first spectacle lens.

3. The adjustment method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of positioning includes:
selecting a first spectacle lens from a set of first spectacle lenses which in each case comprise a coupling-in section via which the generated image can be coupled into the respective first spectacle lens, and which differ by different distances of the coupling-out section from the coupling-in section; and
securing the selected first spectacle lens in the front section.

4. The adjustment method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of positioning includes grinding down a lateral edge of the first spectacle lens.

5. The adjustment method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of positioning includes altering the distance between the two spectacle lenses.

6. The adjustment method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of positioning includes:
selecting the front section from a set of front sections which differ from one another by the predetermined distance which the spectacle lenses have when they are arranged therein; and
arranging the first spectacle lens in the selected front section.

7. The adjustment method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of positioning includes:
selecting the central part from a set of central parts which differ by the predetermined distance which the spectacle lenses have when they are connected to the central part; and
connecting the two spectacle lenses to the selected central part.

8. The adjustment method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of positioning includes adjusting a first angle defined between a first temple, which is connected to the front section, and the front section, wherein the first angle is present when the user is wearing the display device on the user's head.

9. The adjustment method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of positioning includes changing an angle which the two spectacle lenses form.

10. The adjustment method according to claim 1 , further comprising performing a measurement on the user in order to ascertain the value of the measurement parameter.
