An image display apparatus, having a pixel configuration in which pixels on the n-th line and pixels on the n+1-th line are deviated in the horizontal direction, improves the resolution in the horizontal direction by changing over an image signal to be sampled between a delay signal DL and a through signal TH supplied from a delay circuit so as to deviate the image signal by a time corresponding to the deviation of the pixels. By sampling the image signal which corresponds to each line while deviating the image signal by the time which corresponds to the deviation of the pixels in the horizontal direction, the deviation between the pixel and the signal is eliminated, so that the resolution in the horizontal direction is improved.
