A liquid crystal display (LCD) recently comes into common use. It is possible for this display unit to provide the
same size of displaying area as the image screen on the panel. Thus the conventional display can show only one
screen, but it is impossible to enlarge the size of a screen, for example twice. To enlarge the display area, the
authors have developed an enlarging method of display area using a mirror. Our extension method enables the
observers to show the virtual image plane and to enlarge a screen area twice. In the developed display unit, we
made use of an image separating technique using polarized glasses, a parallax barrier or a lenticular lens screen for
3D imaging. The mirror can generate the virtual image plane and it enlarges a screen area only twice. In this
paper, we present a new extension method to enlarge a screen area quadruple.
