Image display apparatus

An image display apparatus, comprising:

• an image light generator configured to emit image light;
• a first reflection element configured to receive the image light from the image light generator, wherein the first reflection element has a transmitting action and a reflecting action on the image light;
• a second reflection element configured to reflect, toward the first reflection element, the image light that has entered via the first reflection element and cause the image light to re-enter the first reflection element, wherein the second reflection element has the reflecting action on the image light;
• a light-condensing optical system configured to converge, toward a position of a pupil of an observer, the image light that has re-entered the first reflection element;
• and
• a controller configured to control a placement angle of at least one the first reflection element or the second reflection element based on the position of the pupil of the observer,
• wherein a spread angle θ of the image light at the position of the pupil of the observer is within a range of the following Expression (1):
• −0.06°<θ<0.6° . . . (1)
• where the spread angle θ is positive in a case of diverging toward the pupil of the observer, and the spread angle θ is negative in a case of converging toward the pupil of the observer.
