ABSTRACT:
An optical system for magnifying a display panel includes a magnifying lens disposed in front of a display panel. The magnifying lens is constructed with two lenses respectively having convex surfaces opposite each other. At least one of the two convex surfaces is aspherical. A transverse aberration of the magnifying lens is less than the diameter of the pupil of an eye at a point where the eye is positioned. The lens for the optical system is a Fresnel lens whose vortex center is located on its edge. An apparatus for magnifying display panels according to the invention includes an instrument to be viewed distantly and instruments to be viewed not distantly. The instrument to be viewed distantly is disposed distant from the Fresnel lens under a center portion of the Fresnel lens, whereas the instruments to be viewed not distantly are disposed close to the Fresnel lens under an edge portion of the Fresnel lens. An apparatus for magnifying display panels according to the invention includes a display panel illuminating light source disposed inside a housing of the instrument and scale markings provided inside the edge of the opening of the housing.
