An image display apparatus includes a display panel displaying an image. A switching panel activates a lenticular lens during a three-dimensional mode and deactivate the lenticular lens in a two-dimensional mode by arranging liquid crystal molecules thereof. A pattern retarder is disposed between the display panel and the switching panel and includes a first retarder part converting light emanating from the display panel to a first circularly polarized light and a second retarder part converting the light emanating from the display panel to a second circularly polarized light. The switching panel includes first and second areas respectively corresponding to the first and second retarder parts, and the liquid crystal molecules are rotated in a first direction in the first area and a second direction in the second area.
