Unfortunately you cannot do this.
You can only display those images using OpenLayers which are spported by browsers. That is why using
OpenLayers.Layer.Image
you can only display JPEG, PNG & GIF images.Other Image formats like Erdas Imagine, Tiff, GeoTiff ASCII etc need to be converted to a format which browsers understand, before they can be shown in the browser.
