In a scanning image display device including a function to project and display a two-dimensional image on a projection screen using a deflecting unit that repeatedly operates a predetermined reflecting mirror surface to two-dimensionally scan a light beam, a large image distortion inevitably occurs, which is caused by the reflecting mirror surface that repeatedly and two-dimensionally operates for deflection. In order to solve the problem, a free-form surface lens or a wedge or trapezoid prism with a predetermined refractive index and a predetermined vertical angle is disposed in an optical path between the deflecting unit and the projection screen, thereby excellently correcting image distortion that occurs when scanning a light beam.
