An image display device includes a high-performance projection zoom lens with a very wide field angle and an image display device including a projection zoom lens of a five-lens-group type, which achieves high performance across the entire zoom area. The image display device is configured to project an image onto a target projection surface and display a magnified image of the image, which uses a projection zoom lens having a five-lens-group configuration in which first to fifth lens groups G1 to G5 are arranged from the magnification side toward the reduction side, and each of the constituent lens groups or lenses included in the lens groups has a combination of negative and positive refractive powers, and in the lens configuration, focal lengths of the constituent lens groups, relative travel distances, lens distances to the image display element, and constituent lens shapes are properly selected.
