BINOCULAR TELESCOPE

A binocular telescope includes a first CCD array and a first LCD array both disposed within one lens barrel, a second CCD array and a second LCD array both disposed within the other lens barrel, first and second CCD drive units and first and second LCD drive units disposed within a mount for the two lens barrels, externally-operable first and second selector switches, and an interface connected to a portable television tuner. The first and second selector switches are operated in such a manner that when moving contacts of the first and second selector switches are respectively switched to one fixed contacts, images focused onto the first and second CCD arrays are respectively formed on the first and second LCD arrays as images, and when their moving contacts are respectively switched to the other fixed contacts, images sent from the portable television tuner are formed on the first and second LCD arrays respectively.
