Abstract
An image display device includes an imaging element, a light source, a detecting part, and a controller. The imaging element includes a base member including a first surface, and a reflector array on the base member. The reflector array includes multiple reflector rows, each including multiple dihedral corner reflectors along a first direction. The multiple reflector rows are arranged parallel to a second direction crossing the first direction. The multiple dihedral corner reflectors each include a first reflecting surface, and a second reflecting surface orthogonal to the first reflecting surface. A tilt of a second orthogonal reflector is set to form a floating image at the first surface side. The light-transmitting member is arranged to transmit twice-reflected light of the imaging element. The light-shielding member shields a portion of light other than the twice-reflected light.
