Abstract
An image display has a substrate, plural optical sources on the substrate, and a microlens-array in which plural microlens are arranged so as to be opposed to the respective optical sources. Then, driving devices are provided under the optical sources. The driving devices move the microlenses relatively for the respective optical sources. At the same time, the optical intensities or the optical wavelengths of light beams from the optical sources are varied with synchronized with the above relative movements, and taken out as image information of an object to be observed. As a result, a three-dimensional image of the object can be provided.
