Abstract:
1. An image display comprising: a liquid-crystal display panel which transmits light projected from a rearward direction; a light source for projecting a first light as a particular polarization of light and a second light, whose polarization axis is orthogonal to the polarization axis of the first light, to the liquid-crystal display panel; optical means for refracting light emitted from the light source to reach left and right respective eyes; a stripe-patterned filter arranged between the liquid-crystal display panel and the light source and having, repeatedly in a given direction, first areas for transmitting the first light and second areas for transmitting the second light; a polarizing plate having a polarizing characteristic which blocks light transmitted through the liquid-crystal display panel either during supplying of power or during non-supplying of power to the liquid-crystal display panel; wherein the light source is structured by including light emitters for emitting red, green and blue lights, to sequentially emit red, green and blue lights, wherein images corresponding to respective colors are sequentially displayed on the liquid-crystal display panel correspondingly to emission timing of the respective colors of light by the light emitters, wherein the light emitters are structured by arranging light-emitting elements based on each of the colors, wherein each light-emitting element emits light, which depending on a color of the emitted light, is refracted at a different respective angle by the optical means; and wherein the light-emitting elements for emitting red, green and blue lights are, respectively, arranged in that order inward toward a centerline of the image display.
