Abstract
A dummy magnifying display apparatus, in which a magnified screen comprises a plane section and a slant section. The plane section comprises a screen display section located on a flat surface of a wall or the like. The slant section is provided at an angle between the wall and a ceiling and also located so that user U's eyes and a screen form a substantially right angle. An image that the user could see on the dummy screen is displayed on the slant section. When an image of a smokestack is displayed, for example, a lower half section of the smokestack appears on the plane section and an upper half section thereof appears on the slant section. In this case, the smokestack displayed on the slant section appears by being compressed in the longitudinal direction thereof. With those steps, it actually looks from the position of the user as if the upper half section of the smokestack is displayed on the dummy screen. As a result, a screen larger than the actual screen can be obtained.
