The only displayable image you can get from a raw file by a simple export 
would be the embedded jpeg. Those are small previews, created by the camera.
Small means half or quarter resolution...

To get a full-size jpeg image, you need to develop/edit the raw file first. 
Dmitri Popov's suggestion might work, but to get the best results, you'll have 
to use the image editor (menu "Tools"->"Image editor"). But learning to use 
this tool will take some time and effort...
