An image display apparatus, comprising: a display panel; a back frame that includes a flat portion having a substantially flat surface facing an active area of the display panel; a plurality of light sources that are spaced substantially evenly apart in the flat portion; and a luminance-equalizing sheet that is sheet-shaped, wherein the luminance-equalizing sheet includes a plurality of through holes (107h, 107i, 107j, 107k) that transmit light from the plurality of light sources toward the display panel, the plurality of through holes are arranged in a predetermined pattern that is applied to blocks (107A, 107B) that are arranged in an array in the luminance-equalizing sheet and each of which faces a different one of the plurality of light sources, the sum of the opening areas of the through holes within a unit area defining an opening proportion, the unit area being smaller than the area of one entire block among the blocks, and larger than the opening area of the largest through hole, the predetermined pattern includes a first pattern and a second pattern, the first pattern being applied to at least some of outer blocks, among the blocks, that are in contact with a periphery of the array, the second pattern being different from the first pattern and applied to at least some of the blocks to which the first pattern is not applied, and characterized in that the luminance-equalizing sheet is supported at a distance from the plurality of light sources by a plurality of support pins that are pillar-shaped and spaced substantially evenly apart in the flat portion, and in that in the at least some of the outer blocks to which the first pattern is applied, the opening proportion of the luminance-equalizing sheet due to the plurality of through holes (107h, 107i, 107j, 107k) has a positive correlation with a distance from the light source that faces the respective one of the at least some of the outer blocks, and the opening proportion at a same distance from the light source that faces the respective one of the at least some of the outer blocks has a negative correlation with a distance from the periphery of the array. a display panel; a back frame that includes a flat portion having a substantially flat surface facing an active area of the display panel; a plurality of light sources that are spaced substantially evenly apart in the flat portion; and a luminance-equalizing sheet that is sheet-shaped, wherein the luminance-equalizing sheet includes a plurality of through holes (107h, 107i, 107j, 107k) that transmit light from the plurality of light sources toward the display panel, the plurality of through holes are arranged in a predetermined pattern that is applied to blocks (107A, 107B) that are arranged in an array in the luminance-equalizing sheet and each of which faces a different one of the plurality of light sources, the sum of the opening areas of the through holes within a unit area defining an opening proportion, the unit area being smaller than the area of one entire block among the blocks, and larger than the opening area of the largest through hole, the predetermined pattern includes a first pattern and a second pattern, the first pattern being applied to at least some of outer blocks, among the blocks, that are in contact with a periphery of the array, the second pattern being different from the first pattern and applied to at least some of the blocks to which the first pattern is not applied, and characterized in that the luminance-equalizing sheet is supported at a distance from the plurality of light sources by a plurality of support pins that are pillar-shaped and spaced substantially evenly apart in the flat portion, and in that in the at least some of the outer blocks to which the first pattern is applied, the opening proportion of the luminance-equalizing sheet due to the plurality of through holes (107h, 107i, 107j, 107k) has a positive correlation with a distance from the light source that faces the respective one of the at least some of the outer blocks, and the opening proportion at a same distance from the light source that faces the respective one of the at least some of the outer blocks has a negative correlation with a distance from the periphery of the array.
