Abstract

There is provided an image display apparatus that includes an image forming apparatus, an optical element arranged in front of a face of an observer, and a movement control apparatus. When a region situated on the side of the ear of the observer, as viewed from the optical element, is referred to as a region situated behind the optical element, the image forming apparatus is in the region situated behind the optical element. An image exiting the image forming apparatus obliquely enters the optical element from the region situated behind the optical element, and is reflected off the optical element to reach the pupil of the observer. When there is a change in the position of the pupil of the observer, the optical element is moved using the movement control apparatus, and the position of the image exiting the image forming apparatus is controlled using the movement control apparatus.
