Abstract
An image display apparatus has: a setting device (132) for setting a synthesizing plane (CS) at a position that is away backward from a first vehicle; a synthesizing device (133) for synthesizing a rear image (111B) captured by a rear imaging device (11B) for imaging a rear area of the first vehicle and a rear side image (111BL, 111BR) captured by a rear side imaging device (11B) for imaging a rear side area of the first vehicle to generate a synthesized image (111C) in which a scene in the rear image and a scene in the rear side image are seamlessly connected at a position of the synthesizing plane, the setting device sets the synthesizing plane at a position that is different from a position at which the synthesizing plane is set when a second vehicle does not exist at the rear of the first vehicle, when the second vehicle exists at the rear of the first vehicle.
