Abstract
An optical system with an optical axis includes a display for displaying an image, an eyepiece for viewing the image, the eyepiece including a lens. The display is configured such that a marginal ray light beam emanates from an edge of the display and propagates to the lens in a light incidence direction. The display is arranged first along the optical axis in the light incidence direction, followed by the lens arranged on the optical axis. No further optical unit of the optical system is arranged between the lens and a pupil of the eye. The marginal ray light beam has a chief ray. The chief ray propagates at a first chief ray height at the lens and at a second chief ray height at the display. The first chief ray height is at least level with the second chief ray height.
