Disclosed herein is an image display device including a display panel having a flat display surface; a mounting frame having an opening for mounting the display panel in the condition that the display surface is exposed to the opening, the mounting frame having an outer transparent portion and an inner opaque portion; and a cover frame for covering at least the boundary between the transparent portion and the opaque portion of the mounting frame. At least a part of the transparent portion of the mounting frame is opposed to at least a part of the periphery of the display panel, thereby forming a clear portion allowing the vision to the rear side of the display panel.
