Abstract: An image display apparatus includes a light source, an image generating element, a light guide element, and a light guide unit. The light guide element has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and the image generating element is disposed to face the second surface of the light guide element. The light from the light source enters the first surface, transmits through the light guide element and the light guide unit, and enters the image generating element to be converted into the image light, and the image light transmits through the light guide unit and enters the second surface. A distance between an exit surface of the image generating element for emitting the image light and an incident surface of the light guide unit which the image light enters is longer than 0 mm and equal to or shorter than 5 mm.

Abstract: A light source apparatus includes a first light source configured to emit first color light, a second light source configured to emit second color light having a different wavelength from that of the first color light, a wavelength conversion element configured to convert the first color light into third color light having a wavelength different from that of the first color light and to emit the third color light, and to emit the second color light as it is, and an optical system including a light guide surface configured to guide the first color light from the first light source and the second color light from the second light source to the wavelength conversion element, and the optical system being configured to emit combined light of the second color light and the third color light from the wavelength conversion element.
