Abstract

Provided in embodiments of the present application is a head-mounted display device, comprising: a frame body; two visual modules, which are arranged on the frame body at intervals in a first direction, at least one visual module being movably disposed on the frame body; and an adjustment locking mechanism. The adjustment locking mechanism comprises a transmission mechanism and an operation member. The transmission mechanism is connected to a visual module and is configured to drive the visual module to slide in the first direction and/or drive an adjustment portion of the visual module to rotate. The operation member matches with the transmission mechanism to enable the adjustment locking mechanism to have an unlocked state and a locked state. When the adjustment locking mechanism is in the unlocked state, the operation member drives the adjustment portion of the visual module to rotate by means of the transmission mechanism and/or drives the visual module to slide in the first direction. When the adjustment locking mechanism is in the locked state, the operation member locks the visual module to the frame body. According to the embodiments of the present application, one-key adjustment and locking of any one or two among pupillary distance and diopter are achieved by means of the operation member, and the structure is simpler.
