FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a display apparatus that can display the packaging of a product in the immediate vicinity and in visible relation to the product. More specifically, the invention relates to the retail display of eyeglasses. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Retail displays are critical to the sales of consumer products as they are the means by which products are positioned in the view and reach of prospective purchasers. Product displays are therefore configured to hold and position products in the view of consumers in an orderly and appealing arrangement. To this end, a great variety of product display racks and product support devices have been contrived for all types of products. [0003] In many industries products are packaged in material designed to directly relate aesthetically to the product. Typical retail displays are not capable of displaying this packaging in any relation to the product thereby diminishing the purpose of the packaging and its marketing potential. [0004] Additionally packaging often holds several products and as one product is purchased or removed the proximity of the packaging becomes important for the retailer. Retail displays are not designed to keep the packaging in immediate proximity to the products. [0005] There are various retail display devices available for the retail display of eyewear. These devices often include a case rotatably supported on a center post, where the case is comprised of, or accepts, panels on which eyeglasses (e.g., sunglasses) can be mounted for display. However these devices lack many of the desired functions of a modern retailer. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] This invention provides an eyeglass display system comprising a body having a top and bottom and back panels for accepting display panels for displaying eyeglasses and their box packaging in immediate proximity to each other. [0007] The present invention overcomes many disadvantages of prior art retail product displays by providing a single or multiple-sided vertically oriented display column for selective exposure of display panels. Each display panel is capable of displaying the product packaging and the product in immediate vicinity to each other. Specifically the inventive display system includes a single display column and single or multiple display panels for the display of eyewear and the box in which the eyewear is packaged. [0008] Among the many display systems embodied in this invention, the display may be floor standing with a single cylindrical display panel that enables customers to walk around the display. The display may also be counter standing and rotationally mounted to allow the customer to rotate the display for viewing different panels or for viewing different angles of a singular cylindrical panel. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0009] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the present invention; [0010] FIG. 2 is a front plan view of the first embodiment of the present invention; [0011] FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the first embodiment of the present invention; [0012] FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the present invention; [0013] FIG. 5 is a front plan view of the second embodiment of the present invention; [0014] FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a third embodiment of the present invention; [0015] FIG. 7 is a front plan view of the third embodiment of the present invention; [0016] FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a fourth embodiment of the present invention; [0017] FIG. 9 is a front plan view of the fourth embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0018] The present invention provides a product display system that allows for the simultaneous display, in immediate proximity, of the product and its packaging. In FIG. 1 the display system comprises a top 102 and bottom 104 and four countered display panels, two of which are shown 106, 108. The top and bottom are octagonal in this embodiment but may be of any desired shape including square and circular. The contoured display panels 106, 108 may be mounted to each other by connected side members 110 forming a display column. The connected side members 110 may be mounted to a center column (not shown) or may be free standing. Alternatively, the contoured display panels may be free standing and connected only to the top 102 and bottom 104. [0019] The contoured display panels 106, 108 comprise one or more box openings 112 for receiving the packaging box for eyeglasses. The box openings 112 are adapted to receive the box so that it is supported enough to maintain itself in a substantially parallel plane relative to the top 102 and bottom 104.
