An image display device includes a display panel that displays an image on a front surface; a light guide plate that is disposed on a rear surface of the display panel; a support plate that supports the light guide plate, and extends beyond at least one lateral surface of the light guide plate in a front view of the light guide plate; a light-emitting diode (LED) unit that emits light into an incident surface of the light guide plate; and a shade that, in a lateral view of the light guide plate and the LED unit, covers a gap between the LED unit and the light guide plate, and seals a gap between the display panel and the support plate.
