An image display apparatus employing a laser beam source includes: a light modulating unit that modulates a laser beam emitted from the laser beam source into image light representing an image; and a driving-signal generating unit that generates, on the basis of an image signal of a frame image updated at a fixed first period, a driving signal for driving the light modulating unit. The driving-signal generating unit periodically inserts a noise image in the driving signal while maintaining timing for updating display of the frame image at the first period.

An illumination device includes: a light source unit that emits coherent light; and a diffractive optical element that diffracts the coherent light emitted from the light source unit and makes the diffracted light travel to an illuminated surface. The diffractive optical element is disposed such that the coherent light is incident in a state of being inclined with respect to a perpendicular line of a reference plane on which the diffractive optical element is disposed. Zero-order light, which is light other than the diffracted light, of light components emitted from the diffractive optical element travels to a position other than the illuminated surface.

An image forming apparatus includes: a screen having a display surface; and a projector that renders an image by scanning light on the display screen, wherein the screen selects, independently in respective regions of the display surface, a light transmission state in which the light is transmitted and a light diffusion state in which the light is diffused, the screen being configured such that the region where address light is irradiated is in the light diffusion state and the region where the address light is not irradiated is in the light transmission state, and the projector scans the address light on the display surface such that an area of the display surface corresponding to an image displayed on the display surface changes to the light diffusion state.

A projector includes: a light source which emits light; an image forming unit which forms an image having desired size by using light emitted from the light source; and a projection unit which projects the image formed by the image forming unit on a light receiving surface. The projection unit has a light diffusing member disposed at a position where an intermediate image corresponding to light released from the image forming unit is formed to diffuse the light, and a projection system which projects the light diffused by the light diffusing member on the light receiving surface. Diffusion intensity distribution of light released from a predetermined position of the light diffusing member contains at least two prominences with the center axis of the light interposed between the prominences.

In a virtual image display device, a mirror layer has a thickness of 50 nm or more to perform non-transparent reflection in a second ridge line vicinity area on a third reflection face side in a ridge line portion extending between the third reflection face and a second reflection face. Accordingly, reflectance of image light can be prevented from being decreased by the second ridge line vicinity area (that is, a peripheral portion on a light guide unit in the third reflection face), and thus stripe-shaped brightness unevenness extending in a longitudinal direction can be prevented from occurring on the viewed image. That is, in the image display device, it is possible to secure sufficient reflection even in the peripheral portion close to a boundary with the second reflection face with respect to the third reflection face, and also to display a bright image with little brightness unevenness.

The sizes of the respective reflecting units vary in the image take-out section along the Z direction in association with the state of the total reflection angle in the light guide section. Thus, it becomes possible to keep the sufficient effective light beam width of the image light input thereto in all of the reflecting units. Therefore, the deterioration in the image light caused by the reflection in the reflecting units can be avoided, and as a result, the degradation of the resolution of the image due to the virtual image light thus emitted can be prevented.
