The present invention addresses the problem of providing a video display device that projects and displays video including starry sky images onto a target surface, that can reproduce the twinkling of stars and that can more faithfully reproduce an actual starry sky. Provided are a light source, a projection lens, a starry-sky projection negative plate, a twinkling negative plate with uneven light-transmitting properties, a starry-sky-end support unit that supports the starry-sky projection negative plate in a location onto which light from the light source is radiated, a twinkling-end support unit that supports the twinkling negative plate between the starry-sky projection negative plate and the projection lens or between the light source and the starry-sky projection negative plate, and an actuation mechanism that rotationally actuates, by power from an actuator, the starry-sky projection negative plate in a state of being supported by the starry-sky-end support unit and the twinkling negative plate in a state of being supported by the twinkling-end support unit. Light that has penetrated the starry-sky projection negative plate and the twinkling negative plate is radiated onto the target surface via the projection lens.
