Abstract
A synthesized virtual image electronic display includes a microdisplay for forming a source object having an area less than about 100 mm.sup.2. A first stage magnification optic magnifies the source object to produce a magnified real image. A real image is projected on an image synthesizing optic. A second stage magnification optic provides a magnified virtual image of the magnified real image projected on the image synthesizing optic. The first and second stage magnification optics provide a combined magnification of at least about 20.

A synthesized virtual image electronic display comprising:
- a microdisplay for forming a source object having an area less than about 100 mm.sup.2 ;
- a first stage magnification optic for magnifying the source object to produce a magnified real image;
- an image synthesizing optic upon which the real image is projected, and
- a second stage magnification optic for providing a magnified virtual image of the magnified real image projected on the image synthesizing optic;
- wherein the first and second stage magnification optics provide a combined magnification of at least about 20.
An electronic device having a synthesized virtual image electronic display, the device comprising:
- a synthesized virtual image electronic display, the synthesized display including a microdisplay for producing a source object having an area less than about 100 mm.sup.2, a first stage magnification optic for magnifying the source object to produce a magnified real image, an image synthesizing optic upon which the magnified real image is projected, and a second stage magnification optic for providing a magnified virtual image of the magnified real image projected on the image synthesizing optic, wherein the first and second stage magnification optics provide a combined magnification of at least about 20;
- and
- an electronic input electronically connected to the synthesized virtual image synthesized display for forming the source object.
