Abstract

A short-range optical amplification module, spectacles, a helmet and a VR system. The amplification module includes a reflective polarizing plate, a first phase delay plate, a second lens and a second phase delay plate, and a first lens. In the second lens, the optical surface adjacent to the second phase delay plate is a transflective optical surface. The first focal length f2 of the second lens meets the condition: 1F≤f2≤2F, wherein F is the system focal length of the optical amplification module. By performing parameter refining on the first focal length f2 that influences the optical amplification effect, the module can keep a small overall thickness while obtaining a large optical amplification effect, and the VR device can realize a good field angle, a large oculomotor range and a high-quality imaging effect.
