Previously, image display apparatuses using phosphors each having a different persistence time have a problem of reducing a motion blur caused by persistence of the phosphors in an image and improving color shift caused by the motion blur. To overcome this problem, an image display apparatus (1) includes: a motion detecting unit (2) calculating motion information from an inputted image signal, such as a region, a velocity, a direction of a motion, and a matching difference; a correction signal calculating unit (3) calculating a correction signal for correcting the motion blur caused by persistence in the inputted image signal, using the motion information; and a correcting unit (4) correcting the input image signal using the calculated correction signal.
