The invention relates to an image display apparatus and intends to provide a spacer which is strong and has a sufficient supporting function. The present invention's image display apparatus is basically comprises a first substrate having plural electron emitting elements in a vacuum container; a second substrate opposed to the first substrate in the vacuum container and receiving electrons emitted from the electron emitting elements; at least a spacer provided on either of the first substrate and the second substrate for constituting an atmospheric pressure resistant structure of the vacuum container, positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate, and having a longitudinal direction substantially perpendicular to an opposing direction of the first substrate and the second substrate; and a lateral wall positioned inside an external periphery of at least either one of the first substrate and the second substrate for constituting a sealed structure of the vacuum container. And, the present invention's configuration is unique in that a first support member for supporting the spacer is provided outside an image display area which is formed between an area of the electron emitting elements of the first substrate and an electron-irradiated area of the second substrate, while a second support member is provided outside the image display area on either one of the first substrate and the second substrate, and the first support member and the second support member are joined together.
