Abstract: An imaging optical unit for generating a virtual image of an initial image represented on an image generator includes at least one spectacle lens, an input coupling device for coupling an imaging beam path emanating from the initial image in between the inner surface and the outer surface of the spectacle lens, and a Fresnel structure present in the spectacle lens for coupling the imaging beam path out from the spectacle lens in the direction of the eye. The input coupling device couples the imaging beam path in between the inner surface and the outer surface of the spectacle lens in such a way that it is guided by reflections between the inner surface and the outer surface to the Fresnel structure. The Fresnel structure has Fresnel surfaces, which bring about a base deflection of the rays of the imaging beam path by 45 to 55 degrees.

Abstract: Disclosed is a coupling device for coupling the imaging beam path between the inner surface and the outer surface of the eyeglass lens; and a decoupling structure-present in the eyeglass lens for decoupling the imaging beam path from the eyeglass lens in the direction of the eye. The coupling device couples the imaging beam path between the inner surface and the outer surface of the eyeglass lens such that the imaging beam path is guided to the decoupling structure via reflections between the inner surface and the outer surface. A beam-splitting structure is present between the display device and the area of the eyeglass lens, in which the first reflections occurs, said beam-splitting structure splitting the imaging beam path extending from the image generator into two partial imaging beam paths, which form the beam paths arriving from different directions on the partial structures of the decoupling structure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lens which has an extended range of focus, wherein the lens consists of a solid material, the optical surfaces of the lens are transparent and the lens has a focal power distribution. According to the invention, the focal power distribution FG of the lens (1), in relation to a plane perpendicular to the optical axis (10), changes as a function of the radial height r and of the azimuth angle phi of the aperture between a base value of the focal power FL not equal to zero and a maximum value FSmax. Hence, the focal power distribution emerges as FG(r,phi)=FL+FS(r,phi), with the spiral focal power component FS(r,phi)=FSmax(r)*w(phi), where FSmax(r) depends nonlinearly on the radius and w(phi) is a factor for the focal power component with a spiral profile.
