 Optical System Components Binocular Design Explanation
[Link] LCOS FPC connector is a 30-pin connector that can be connected [Link] structure of the waveguide mirror (LOE) in the left and right optical
with HIROSE's BM23FR0.6-30DS-0.35V(51) connector. module modules is symmetrically designed.
[Link] LED plug-in connector specifications are 1mm high, 0.5mm pitch, [Link] optical module housing, LED board, and LCOS board of the left and
and 4 pins (model: AYF530435). right optical module modules are designed asymmetrically, with a rotation
of 83.7° (each side angled 41.8° relative to the front direction of the eye).
LCOS Optical System Enclosure Light Waveguide Mirror (LOE) [Link] is recommended to keep the distance between the eyeball and LOE no
greater than 18mm.
[Link] suggested design value for the distance between the display centers
of the left and right eyes is 63.5mm (corresponding to the interpupillary
distance of the human eye).

Optical Display Area

Display Area: 38mm x 12mm (Non-cuttable section)

Display Center: Designed to align with the human eye during design

Waveguide Panel Size: 49.93mm x 29.5mm (Default form factor)

Positioning and Mounting Design

Positioning Surfaces
The waveguide panel serves as the positional reference for the assembly
LOE Top Surface
process of various components in the optical module. It has the highest
dimensional and positional accuracy and can be used as the primary Up & Down
positioning surface for the assembly of the optical module and eyewear
enclosure.
[Link] Front Surface: Positioning in the front-to-back direction.
[Link] Top Surface: Positioning in the vertical direction (up and down).
[Link] Side Surface: Positioning in the horizontal direction (left and right).

Mounting Methods
The internal contour of the waveguide panel on the inside of the eyewear
front shell is designed to match the contour of the positioning surfaces
mentioned above. According to the positions of the positioning surfaces
and the corresponding positions on the optical module, the optical module LOE Side Surface
is securely fixed to the eyewear shell (ensuring the strength of the eyewear
front shell).

Avoidance Design for Special Components Optical Module Enclosure

Optical Module Enclosure

To ensure optical display performance, the entire optical module
enclosure requires a 1mm clearance.

Both Sides

LCOS Panel
[Link] ensure optical display performance, the LCOS panel is
assembled with the optical module enclosure in an adapted manner,
resulting in positional differences between the LCOS panel and the
enclosure (varies with different optical module modules). This
necessitates structural clearance (in the frontal view) of the LCOS LCOS
panel when designing the eyewear, with at least 1mm of clearance
on both sides.
[Link] top surface of the LCOS panel has a significant adjustment Front View
range (in the side view), requiring a gap of no less than 1mm to be
designed in the structural components of the eyewear. Top Surface

Contact Area between PBS and Optical Module Enclosure

To ensure optical display performance, the contact area between the
PBS and the Optical Module Enclosure needs to be bonded. There
should be a 1mm clearance (red area) around the bonding area.

Operating Temperature/Humidity of the Optical Module
Recommended for use under the conditions of 0°C to 50°C temperature
range and 45% to 70% relative humidity (RH).

Service Life
[Link] lifespan of the entire device: 12,000 hours or more
(Operating conditions: 10 mW/mm2)
[Link] test of the entire device (240 hours of continuous
operation): 100% of the sample devices passed.

Extreme Environmental Usage Conditions

Extreme High-Temperature Operating Condition: 70°C -> The
screen displays normally without any image anomalies or flickering.
The driver board functions properly.
Extreme Low-Temperature Operating Condition: 0°C -> The screen
displays normally without any image anomalies or flickering. The
driver board functions properly.
Extreme High-Temperature Storage: 100°C -> After returning to
normal temperature, the device operates normally without any
issues.
Extreme Low-Temperature Storage: -20°C -> After returning to
normal temperature, the device operates normally without any
issues.
LCOS Related
[Link] FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) connector for LCOS is a 30-pin
connector and can be connected to the HIROSE BM23FR0.6-30DS-
0.35V(51) connector. It can also be connected to the
extended_to_bm23_cable FPC, which is compatible with AW60/AW70
driver boards.
[Link] width of the FPC connector on the cable end needs to strictly
adhere to the specifications of the connector. If it is too small, there is a
risk of misalignment and short-circuiting.

LED Related
[Link] is not recommended to set the LED current too high. It is advisable to
operate within the recommended current settings to achieve sufficient
brightness for most requirements. Excessive current may result in
increased power consumption and elevated LED temperature, which can
affect the product experience.
[Link] using different LED driver chips, please ensure that they can perform
RGB color mixing. The R/G/B three-channel EN signals need to be
connected to the OVP0921 for backlight and image synchronization.
