Zusammenfassung:An illumination unit of the present disclosure includes an excitation light source, a phosphor section, an excitation-light intensity distribution generation section, and an illumination optical system. The excitation light source emits excitation light. The phosphor section includes a fluorescent light-emission surface that performs fluorescent light emission in response to receiving of the excitation light. The excitation-light intensity distribution generation section is provided between the excitation light source and the phosphor section, and varies an intensity distribution of the excitation light to bring the intensity distribution of the excitation light closer to a desired excitation-light intensity distribution on the fluorescent light-emission surface. The illumination optical system generates, on the basis of light derived from the fluorescent light emission from the phosphor section, illumination light with which an image display device is to be irradiated.
