Abstract:
1. An image display apparatus comprising: a plurality of light source sections each of which emits a light flux; a light combining section that combines the light fluxes emitted from the plurality of light source sections; an optical element that inclines an optical axis of a combined light from the light combining section and changes a cross-sectional shape of the combined light from the light combining section; and an optical scan section that deflects light exiting out of the optical element for two-dimensional scanning, wherein an optical axis of the light flux emitted from each of the plurality of light source sections and directed through the light combining section and the optical element toward the optical scan section is present in a first plane, the optical scan section has a light reflection surface that is configured to be perpendicular to the first plane when the optical scan section is not driven and swings around a first axis present in the first plane and a second axis parallel to the direction of a normal to the first plane, and an angle of radiation of the light flux emitted from each of the plurality of light source sections in the direction of the normal to the first plane is greater than an angle of radiation of the emitted light flux in an in-plane direction in the first plane.
