Abstract
An image display apparatus includes: a first light source; a second light source; a deflection unit for deflecting the light emitted from the first light source toward a viewing position of the first image and deflecting the light emitted from the second light source toward a viewing position of the second image; and a spatial light modulator that has a plurality of pixels each of which includes a plurality of subpixels, and modulates the light having passed through the deflection unit on the basis of a first image signal and a second image signal. Each of subpixels is formed in a shape where the length in the first direction, which is substantially parallel with the line connecting the viewing position of the first image to the viewing position of the second image, is longer than or equal to the length in the second direction orthogonal to the first direction.
