Abstract: A visual acuity examination apparatus is provided with a mark display face which has an outer face on which at least one mark is displayed so as to be viewed and which is formed such that the at least one mark and the periphery thereof are illuminated with a predetermined brightness, and a light shielding face which is disposed in front of the display face to be subjected to high speed movement, which is formed with a slit having a proper width and whose front face is formed so as to be illuminated with the same brightness as that of the mark display face. Accordingly, an accurate display contrast of the mark can be realized with a simple structure and without deterioration with age.
