An image display apparatus includes: a display unit; a plurality of light emitting units; and a light-emission controller configured to individually control light-emission brightness of each of the light emitting units, wherein in a case where brightness of light applied to a region of the display unit on which a black region of an input image is displayed is less than or equal to predetermined brightness, transmittance of the display unit is controlled such that transmittance of the region of the display unit corresponding to the black region becomes higher than that in a case in which the brightness is higher than the predetermined brightness.
