Abstract
The present invention discloses a stereoscopic image display apparatus for which an image display unit can be freely selected, and in which crosstalk is suppressed even if a transmissive image display unit is used. The stereoscopic image display apparatus according to the present invention includes an image display unit in which pixel groups including pixels that display images corresponding to observation positions respectively are arranged cyclically; a lenticular array which substantially condenses light rays from the respective pixels at the predetermined observation positions and which is constituted by a plurality of horizontal lens lines arranged vertically, each of which is formed by a plurality of cylindrical lenses horizontally arranged at a predetermined cycle. And the apparatus includes a limiting member that limits light rays so that rays from a predetermined horizontal pixel lines may reach only the horizontal lens line having the same horizontal positions of cylindrical lenses.
