Abstract
An image display apparatus for use in head-mounted image display apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an image display element having a plurality of pixels arrayed in matrix, for displaying images by scanning these pixels with image signals; a pixel shifting means provided so as to divide these image display elements into a plurality of regions in a direction orthogonal to the scanning direction of the image signal, for selectively shifting viewing positions of the displayed images in respective regions; and a control means for controlling shifting operation at the viewing positions of the displayed images in corresponding regions of the pixel shifting means, in synchronism with the scanning of the image display elements.
