An image display apparatus includes an LD for emitting and modulating visible light, an optical scanning device for two-dimensionally scanning the light from the Ld on a screen in synchronism with the LD, an imaging device for picturizing an image of the image displayed on the screen, and an image processor for judging presence or absence of the pointing element such as a finger or fingers which is/are used to point out an optional position on the image based on temporal change of the image picturized by the imaging device. Even when the finger or fingers of a person is/are used as the pointing element, it is possible to judge the presence or absence of the pointing out of the image by the finger or fingers. Thereby, a number of components can be reduced. In addition, in comparison with an image display apparatus that emits invisible light detects a position of a pointing element corresponding to a photoreception timing of the invisible light reflected by the pointing element, a complex detection circuit having a high time-resolution becomes unnecessary, and it enables to simplify the configuration and to reduce manufacturing cost. |
