An image display apparatus is provided with a laser light source, a spatial light modulation device for modulating the laser light emitted from the laser light source, a display surface for displaying the modulated light, an optical pixel aperture enlarging member for distributing the luminance of the laser light while introducing the laser light to apertures of pixels of the spatial light modulation device; and a display pixel aperture enlarging portion for optically enlarging the modulated light by the apertures of the pixels of the spatial light modulation device corresponding to pixels of an image to be displayed on the display surface.

A two-dimensional encoder stores data on a holographic memory. The encoder encodes data of k bits (where k is an integer and k≧3) into n pixels arranged two-dimensionally (where n is an integer and n≧6). The encoder includes a first processing section 31 for classifying the n pixels into first and second groups of subblocks 11 and 12 using k1 bits out of the data of k bits (where k1 is an integer and k1≧1). Each of the subblocks 11 in the first group consists of m pixels (where m is an integer and m≧2), and the number of the subblocks 11 forming the first group is s1 (where s1 is an integer and s1≧2). Each of the subblocks 12 in the second group also consists of m pixels, and the number of the subblocks 12 forming the second group is s2 (where s2 is an integer and s2≧1). The encoder further includes a second processing section 32 for turning ON p pixels (where p is an integer and 1≦p≦m/2) out of the m pixels forming each subblock 11 in the first group and turning OFF all of the m pixels forming each subblock 12 in the second group using the other k2 bits of the data of k bits (where k2=k−k1).

Disclosed is a liquid crystal display device, which is capable of reducing a required response speed and increasing a pixel aperture ratio, as compared with a field sequential driving scheme. A unit pixel of a liquid crystal display panel is made up of a first sub-pixel adapted to allow only any two of red, green and blue lights to pass therethrough, and a second sub-pixel adapted to allow only a remaining one of the red, green and blue lights to pass therethrough, wherein one frame of image is time-divided into n pieces (wherein n is an integer of two or more), and respective image information about the two lights are applied to the first sub-pixel during every duration of the 1/n frame, while applying image information about the remaining one light to the second sub-pixel during a duration of the one frame of image. Further, the respective two lights are emitted during every duration of the 1/n frame in synchronization with applying the respective image information about the two lights, while continuously emitting the remaining one light during the duration of the one frame of image.
