contents As a lens capable of sending images of deep sub-wavelength objects to the far field, the hyperlens has garnered significant attention for its super-resolution and magnification capabilities. However, traditional hyperlenses require extreme permittivity ratios and fail to achieve geometrically perfect imaging, significantly constraining their practical applications. In this paper, we introduce the general versions of hyperbolic absolute instruments from the perspective of dispersion and fundamental optical principles. These instruments enable the formation of closed orbits in geometric optics, allowing hyperlenses to achieve aberration-free, perfect imaging. This development not only provides a flexible and practical tool for enhancing the performance of traditional hyperlens, but also opens new possibilities for new optoelectronics applications based on hyperbolic ray dynamics.
