LAMINATED ALIGNMENT STRUCTURE FOR EYECUP ASSEMBLIES IN A VIRTUAL REALITY HEADSET

摘要

An eyecup assembly includes an electronic display element of a head-mounted display (HMD), a transparent plastic frame, an eyecup of the HMD, and a coupling interface. The plastic frame is laminated to the electronic display element and includes a center portion and a peripheral portion. The center portion includes an optical component and the peripheral portion including at least two protruding alignment structures. The eyecup includes alignment structures coupled to the at least two protruding alignment structures on the frame. The coupling interface interfaces with an alignment system. The alignment system is configured to align the eyecup assembly to the electronic display by adjusting a position of the electronic display relative to the eyecup so that a test image displayed by the electronic display after transmission through the optical component in the frame and an aperture of the eyecup is within a threshold value of a reference image.

1. An eyecup assembly comprising:
an electronic display element of a head-mounted display (HMD); a transparent plastic frame that is laminated to the electronic display element, the frame including a center portion and a peripheral portion that circumscribes the center portion, the center portion including an optical component and the peripheral portion including at least two protruding alignment structures; an eyecup of the HMD, the eyecup including alignment structures coupled to the at least two protruding alignment structures on the frame; and a coupling interface that interfaces with an alignment system that is configured to align the eyecup assembly to the electronic display of the HMD by adjusting a position of the electronic display relative to the eyecup so that a test image displayed by the electronic display after transmission through the optical component in the frame and an aperture of the eyecup is within a threshold value of a reference image.
