Abstract:
An image display device includes a light source, an imaging element to form an image with a light beam from the light source, and a lens array illuminated with the light beam forming the image for image display, in which lenses are arranged closely to each other. In which in the lens array a curvature radius of a surface of a border of neighboring lenses is set to be smaller than a wavelength of the light beam.
