A stereoscopic image display apparatus has a light source for emitting patterned light in a predetermined shape, an optical system having horizontal optical action and vertical optical action different from each other, and a display device. The display device displays a stripe image obtained by alternating stripe pixels from a parallax image for the right eye and stripe pixels from a parallax image for the left eye in a predetermined order. The patterned light is provided with directivity by the optical system to irradiate the stripe image. The light is separated into two areas, so as to permit an observer to visually recognize the stripe image as a stereoscopic image. In the stereoscopic image display apparatus, a difference DH between a horizontal pitch Hi of the patterned light and a horizontal pixel pitch Hd of the display device is not less than a predetermined value.

Parallax images corresponding to a plurality of different view points are each divided into predetermined stripe images, a synthetic parallax image is synthesized from the stripe images, and display light, from stripe images corresponding to one view point of the synthetic parallax image on the image display element displaying the synthetic parallax image, is guided to a mask member having a mask pattern with predetermined openings and shields by a second optical system placed in front of the image display element. The display light passing through the openings of the mask member is condensed to a position corresponding to the view point on an observation surface a predetermined distance apart, by a first optical system, whereby an observer is permitted to stereoscopically observe image information displayed on the image display element.

A small optical system that is capable of widening an angle of view is provided. This optical system is provided with a first surface having a reflecting action and a second surface that reflects a light beam reflected on this first surface toward the first surface again. Then, a principal ray at central angle of view that is made incident on the first surface again is reflected and travels to a side opposite to a side of the last time it was reflected from the first surface with respect to a normal line of a surface at a hit point thereof.
