This has been added to display.texi

      A value of the form @code{(@var{num} . @var{expr})} is the value of
    @var{num} multiplied by the value of the expression @var{expr}.  For
    example, @samp{(2 . in)} specifies a width of 2 inches, while
    @samp{(0.5 . IMAGE)} specifies half the width (or height) of the
    specified image.

Why is the symbol `IMAGE' all caps?  Why not use `image'?

This IMAGE is the result of e.g. find-image or defimage 

-- I used uppercase to differentiate it from the `display' `image' property.

Probably using @var{image} is ok here.
