Abstract:
1. An illuminating device comprising: an electrodeless discharge lamp which generates an electromagnetic wave; an optical integrator, comprising a light-incident-side fly's eye lens and a light-exit-side fly's eye lens, for integrating light emitted from the discharge lamp and approximately collimated to guide the light to an object to be illuminated; a polarization conversion system, comprising a polarizing beam splitter array, for converting polarization directions of the light emitted from the discharge lamp in a common direction; and a plate-like conductive body including a plurality of apertures; wherein a lens arrangement pitch of the light-exit-side fly's eye lens is half of a lens arrangement pitch of the light-incident-side fly's eye lens; the light passing through each lens in the light-incident-side fly's eye lens is separated into two via the polarizing beam splitter array to pass through two lenses in the light-exit-side fly's eye lens and the apertures of the plate-like conductive body; and the plate-like conductive body is grounded, wherein the light-incident-side fly's eye lens has a convex lens side positioned on the light incident side thereof, and is provided with a third conductive body in a non-light-passing area on a flat surface side which is a light exit side; and the third conductive body is grounded and in contact with the flat surface side of the light-incident-side fly's eye lens.
