Abstract
An illuminator includes a first light source that outputs first light having a first wavelength band, a second light source that outputs second light having a second wavelength band different from the first wavelength band, a light combining member that combines the first light and the second light with each other and outputs combined light, a diffuser that diffuses the combined light incident thereon, a light collector that collects the combined light and directs collected combined light toward the diffuser, a collimator that parallelizes the combined light outputted from the diffuser, a light homogenizer having a first lens array surface on which the combined light outputted from the collimator is incident and a second lens array surface integrated with the first lens array surface, a vibration generator that vibrates the light homogenizer, and a superimposing lens that superimposes light fluxes outputted from the light homogenizer on one another.
