An image display apparatus that can display three-dimensional-like images having a superior visual effect in a simple manner is provided. This image display apparatus is constituted by a projector 20 and a decorative display unit 10 comprising a light transmitting substrate having multiple colored dots arranged on one surface of the substrate and multiple light transmitting light converging elements arranged on the other surface of the substrate, at least a part of which is provided with an image formation means for forming an image from light projected from the projector 20. With this image display apparatus, a virtual image of the dots is formed on a plane different from the plane of the image projected on the image formation means to provide a three-dimensional-like visual effect. It is preferred that directivities of the arrangements of the dots and light converging elements of the decorative display unit 10 are identical to each other, and pitches thereof are different from each other.
An image display apparatus provided with a projector, a decorative display means comprising a light transmitting substrate having multiple colored dots arranged on one surface of the substrate and multiple light transmitting light converging elements arranged on the other surface of the substrate for forming a virtual image of the dots at a position distant from the surface of the substrate on which the dots are arranged in a direction crossing the substrate, and a means for forming an image of light projected from the projector on the light transmitting substrate.
An image display apparatus comprising a decorative display means comprising a light transmitting substrate having multiple colored dots arranged on one surface of the substrate and multiple light transmitting light converging elements arrange on the other surface of the substrate for forming a virtual image of the dots at a position distant from the surface of the substrate on which the dots are arranged in a direction crossing the substrate, and an image displaying means disposed adjacent to the decorative display means.
A decorative display unit comprising a light transmitting substrate having multiple colored dots arranged on one surface of the substrate and multiple light transmitting light converging elements arranged on the other surface of the substrate, at least a part of which is provided with an image formation means for forming an image from light projected from a projector.
