A three-dimensional image display apparatus which displays a three-dimensional image as a set of two-dimensional images by switching and displaying the two-dimensional images on a rotating self-luminous two-dimensional display panel while synchronizing with the rotation angle of the two-dimensional display panel. This three-dimensional image display apparatus comprises a rotation body for rotating the two-dimensional display panel while fixing and supporting, a support body for rotatably supporting the rotation body, compressing image data on the support body to display the two-dimensional image on the two-dimensional display panel, transmitting the compressed image data from the support body to the rotation body side, receiving the transmitted compression image data on the rotation body, and expanding the received compression image data on the rotation body so as to restore an original image data. The support body is external to the rotation body, and includes drive coils which generate a repulsive and an attractive force with magnets in the rotation body.
