Abstract
An image display apparatus for displaying an image corresponding to an image signal selectively inputs a first image signal and a second image signal having an aspect ratio different from that of the first image signal. When the second image signal is input, the second image signal is converted into an image signal corresponding to the aspect ratio of the first image signal, and the converted image signal is supplied to an image display unit for displaying an image corresponding to the aspect ratio of the first image signal. Thus, it is possible to display an image in a manner easy to observe, and to effectively utilize the display picture surface.
