Abstract: An image display apparatus displays a 3D image that is viewable from multiple viewpoints. An image display unit displays a first image on a first pixel group, and a second image on a second pixel group, and a third image on a third pixel group. The first image is an image having parallax relative to the second image, and the second image is an image having parallax relative to the first image. The third image is an image that is superimposed on the second image to prevent pseudoscopic perception of a viewer. A view zone setting unit sets view zones of the images (first image, second image, and third image) displayed by the image display unit. The view zone setting unit sets the view zone of the third image at a superimposed view zone that is superimposed on a part of a left-eye image view zone.
