Imaging apparatus for smartglasses for generating a virtual image from an original image, which is divided into at least two original partial images, wherein the imaging apparatus comprises: - an image generator element arrangement having a number of image generator elements (1 1 to 1 6 ), on which a corresponding number of original partial images is represented, - a number of imaging channels comprising in each case at least one image-forming reflection surface (27 1 to 27 6 ) and/or at least one image-forming refraction surface (25 1 to 25 6 , 29 1 to 29 6 ), said number corresponding to the number of image generator elements (1 1 to 1 6 ), wherein each of the imaging channels is associated with one of the image generator elements (1 1 to 1 6 ) and transmits one of the original partial images, and - a spectacle lens , which is common to all imaging channels and via which the imaging channels are directed in the direction of an observer's eye, wherein - the image-forming reflection surfaces (27 1 to 27 6 ) and/or refraction surfaces (25 1 to 25 6 , 29 1 to 29 6 ) of the imaging channels are surfaces of a prism that is arranged on the spectacle lens , - the original partial images of at least two image generator elements (1 1 to 1 6 ) represent image sections of the original image with partially overlapping image regions, wherein the overlapping image regions are transmitted via at least two different imaging channels, and - image generator elements (1 1 , 1 5 ) located at the periphery of the image generator element arrangement have a smaller image generator surface and represent smaller image sections of the original image than image generator elements (1 3 ) that are located further in the center of the image generator element arrangement . - an image generator element arrangement having a number of image generator elements (1 1 to 1 6 ), on which a corresponding number of original partial images is represented, - a number of imaging channels comprising in each case at least one image-forming reflection surface (27 1 to 27 6 ) and/or at least one image-forming refraction surface (25 1 to 25 6 , 29 1 to 29 6 ), said number corresponding to the number of image generator elements (1 1 to 1 6 ), wherein each of the imaging channels is associated with one of the image generator elements (1 1 to 1 6 ) and transmits one of the original partial images, and - a spectacle lens , which is common to all imaging channels and via which the imaging channels are directed in the direction of an observer's eye, wherein - the image-forming reflection surfaces (27 1 to 27 6 ) and/or refraction surfaces (25 1 to 25 6 , 29 1 to 29 6 ) of the imaging channels are surfaces of a prism that is arranged on the spectacle lens , - the original partial images of at least two image generator elements (1 1 to 1 6 ) represent image sections of the original image with partially overlapping image regions, wherein the overlapping image regions are transmitted via at least two different imaging channels, and - image generator elements (1 1 , 1 5 ) located at the periphery of the image generator element arrangement have a smaller image generator surface and represent smaller image sections of the original image than image generator elements (1 3 ) that are located further in the center of the image generator element arrangement . <EOS>
