Abstract:
1. An image display apparatus comprising: a plurality of electron emitting devices; an illuminant which includes light emitting regions arranged to be distanced from the electron emitting devices, and emitting lights when being irradiated with electrons emitted from the electron emitting devices, the light emitting regions corresponding to the plurality of electron emitting devices; and a driving circuit which outputs a driving signal for driving the electron emitting devices, wherein the driving circuit includes a correction circuit that makes a correction to an input signal, the correction circuit being to output, as the driving signal correcting an input signal corresponding to a predetermined electron emitting device, the driving signal corrected to be smaller than the driving signal being output when there is no increase in a quantity of emitted light of a light emitting region corresponding to the predetermined electron emitting device, when there is an increase in the quantity of emitted light of the light emitting region corresponding to the predetermined electron emitting device, the increase resulting from electron-emission from those ones of the electron emitting devices proximate to the predetermined electron emitting device.
