Abstract
A three-dimensional image display apparatus of the invention can be easily operated by the operator while a three-dimensional image created by the apparatus is observed by him. A depth information maximum value acquisition circuit acquires depth information contained in a first image signal. A parallax control circuit controls the parallax amount of a second image signal on the basis of depth information contained in the first and second image signals such that an image corresponding to the second image signal can be three-dimensionally displayed in front of an image corresponding to the first image signal. A three-dimensional image synthesizer synthesizes the first and second image signals which has been controlled by the parallax control circuit, on the basis of the parallax amount of each image signal, such that images correspond to that the first and second image signals in the three-dimensional display space.
