Image display device, including a black matrix, capable of displaying images in a plurality of view points for suppressing a problem originating from a light blocking portion arranged in a pixel aperture or a structural object and accomplishing a high aperture ratio

An image display device comprising:

• a display element including a plurality of units of display each comprising at least a sub pixel that displays an image for a first view point and a sub pixel that displays an image for a second view point;
• and
• an optical unit that distributes light emitted from respective sub pixels of the display element into different directions, wherein
• when it is defined that a direction in which light is distributed is a first direction, a direction orthogonal to the first direction is a second direction, and a region surrounded by a black matrix in the sub pixel is an aperture,
• an arrangement of the sub pixels in the display element is formed by a base unit that is an adjoining pixel pair including two sub pixels arranged with a data line being present therebetween,
• the adjoining pixel pairs are arranged along the second direction so as to adjoin to each other,
• the two sub pixels of the adjoining pixel pair have respective switching elements commonly connected to the data line present between the two sub pixels and controlled by different gate lines,
• one electrode of the respective switching elements and a storage capacitor electrode form a storage capacitor, the storage capacitor electrode being arranged at least at a boundary region between the sub pixels of the adjoining pixel pair,
• when it is presumed that there are virtual lines each parallel to the second direction and evenly dividing a width of the sub pixel in the first direction into K+1 pieces, K number of storage capacitor lines electrically connected to the storage capacitor each, in the aperture, are inclined relative to the first direction, and are arranged so as to go over at least one virtual line of the virtual lines from one piece to another piece, both pieces being divided by the at least one virtual line, and the K number of storage capacitor lines divide the aperture into K+1 regions,
• in the sub pixels of the adjoining pixel pair, the K number of storage capacitor lines of one sub pixel are nonparallel to the K number of storage capacitor lines of the other sub pixel, and
• in the sub pixels of the plurality of units of display, the K number of storage capacitor lines of one sub pixel are nonparallel to the K number of storage capacitor lines of another sub pixel.
