<p>An image display apparatus wherein reduction in contrast or resolution is prevented is provided. A laser projector as an embodiment of the image display apparatus includes a memory storing a threshold value predetermined for changing a driving mode of a laser light source, a calculator for calculating an optical power level for projecting an image, a driving-mode selector selecting a mode for driving the laser light source, a driving controller for sending a signal to the laser light source in accordance with a selected driving mode, and a laser emitter. The laser projector operates at least at a bias current value Ib or more. In this case, when the optical power level is lower than or equal to a predetermined threshold value TH, the laser projector emits pulsed light. When the optical power level based on a video signal exceeds threshold value TH, the laser projector changes the driving mode of laser light emission from pulsed light emission to DC light emission, to supply a current higher than or equal to bias current value Ib to each laser light source.
