IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS
FIG2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a mirror operator according to the embodiment
The mirror operator 30 is provided, as illustrated in FIG2, with an L button 301 (i.e., a button for operating the left display 20L), an R button 302 (i.e., a button for operating the right display 20R), and a direction button 303. For example, if the direction button 303 is operated while the L button 301 is pressed down, the direction of the camera RL (particularly, the direction of an optical axis) is changed in accordance with the operation of the direction button 303. As a result, an imaging range of the camera RL is shifted in a direction corresponding to the operation of the direction button 303. In the same manner, if the direction button 303 is operated while the R button 302 is pressed down, the direction of the camera RR (particularly, the direction of an optical axis) is changed in accordance with the operation of the direction button 303. As a result, an imaging range of the camera RR is shifted in a direction corresponding to the operation of the direction button 303. Moreover, the mirror operator 30 is also operated to switch between image display modes (e.g., to switch between a standard mode and a wide angle mode), as described later.

['1. An image display apparatus (100) comprising: an imager (RL, RR) configured to image a scene in rear side surroundings of a vehicle (1); a display (20L, 20R) configured to display a captured image imaged by said imager (RL, RR); and a display controller (10) configured to switch between a first display mode in which a first image is displayed and a second display mode in which a second image is displayed, wherein the first image is the captured image showing a first range out of the rear side surroundings of the vehicle (1), characterised in that : the second image is the captured image including the first range and showing a second range, which is wider than the first range, out of the rear side surroundings of the vehicle (1), and  in that said display controller (10) is configured to display the second image on said display (20L, 20R) in an aspect of clearly showing an area of the second image corresponding to the first image, in the second display mode.']
