Abstract
In an image display apparatus, between a reflection-type liquid crystal display panel and a light source for supplying illumination light thereto, a half mirror is disposed at an angle. In addition, in the optical path of the light reflected from the liquid crystal display panel and then reflected from the half mirror, a concave mirror is disposed, and, in the optical path of the light reflected from the concave mirror and then transmitted through the half mirror, a polarizing plate is disposed so that, out of the light reflected from the liquid crystal display panel, only the light that conveys an image is directed to an observer's eye. Alternatively, a polarization separation mirror is disposed in place of the half mirror, and a quarter-wave plate is disposed between the polarization separation mirror and the concave mirror instead of using the polarizing plate.
