A virtual image display apparatus for use in a vehicle, the virtual image display apparatus comprising: a display device configured to display right-eye pixels that constitute a right-eye image, and left-eye pixels that constitute a left-eye image: first optical members (230, 231) disposed on an emission surface of the display device, the first optical members (230, 231) distributing light based on the output from the display device between a right-eye direction and a left-eye direction; and a second optical member configured to reflect or refract, by positive power, the light distributed between the right-eye direction and the left-eye direction by the first optical members (230, 231), wherein pixel pairs each formed through pairing of two adjacent pixels including one of the right-eye pixels and one of the left-eye pixels are disposed with a first pitch, the first optical members (230, 231) are periodically disposed with a second pitch wider than the first pitch, and the second optical member is arranged at a distance (a) from the display device shorter than a focal length of the second optical member, so to allow an observer to recognize a virtual image through the second optical member; wherein a relation between the first pitch and the second pitch satisfies P 2 = P 1 + 4 ∗ L ∗ tan θ / N where P1 is the first pitch, P2 is the second pitch, L is a distance between the first optical members (230, 231) and the display device, θ is an emission angle of light for reaching a glabella of a driver of the vehicle from a pixel (221, 222) of an end of the display device, and N is a number of total pixels of right-eye pixels and left-eye pixels of the display device in a horizontal direction. first optical members (230, 231) disposed on an emission surface of the display device, the first optical members (230, 231) distributing light based on the output from the display device between a right-eye direction and a left-eye direction; and a second optical member configured to reflect or refract, by positive power, the light distributed between the right-eye direction and the left-eye direction by the first optical members (230, 231), wherein pixel pairs each formed through pairing of two adjacent pixels including one of the right-eye pixels and one of the left-eye pixels are disposed with a first pitch, the first optical members (230, 231) are periodically disposed with a second pitch wider than the first pitch, and the second optical member is arranged at a distance (a) from the display device shorter than a focal length of the second optical member, so to allow an observer to recognize a virtual image through the second optical member; wherein a relation between the first pitch and the second pitch satisfies P 2 = P 1 + 4 ∗ L ∗ tan θ / N where P1 is the first pitch, P2 is the second pitch, L is a distance between the first optical members (230, 231) and the display device, θ is an emission angle of light for reaching a glabella of a driver of the vehicle from a pixel (221, 222) of an end of the display device, and N is a number of total pixels of right-eye pixels and left-eye pixels of the display device in a horizontal direction. P1 is the first pitch, P2 is the second pitch, L is a distance between the first optical members (230, 231) and the display device, θ is an emission angle of light for reaching a glabella of a driver of the vehicle from a pixel (221, 222) of an end of the display device, and N is a number of total pixels of right-eye pixels and left-eye pixels of the display device in a horizontal direction.
