The technique of semiconductor has come to its maturity recently. Liquid crystal on silicon ( LCOS ) is produced by ameliorating the technique of semiconductor. LCOS has the most flexibility in its size and appearance. Scale reducing, low price, high aperture ratio and high luminance are other features of it. Therefore, to design head-mounted display by using LCOS devices is the trend in the future. In this paper, the imaging sources and the optical systems of head-mounted display were introduced. LCOS was used in the designing. The eyepieces, key component of the optical system, is the design object. The specifications were made and necessary parameters were obtained by choosing the type of LCOS, its relation to the human eye characteristics and the geometry relation. Then find the starting design of the eyepiece. Finally, by using the design software and design techniques, to design the merit function and do the optimization, we get the optimized design of eyepiece.
