Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the uneveness of color due to the chromatic abberation of a lens by changing the focal points of an outer lens provided on an optical axis as well as of a cylindrical lens step formed on an inner lens adjacent thereto. CONSTITUTION:Cylindrical projected lens steps 11a, 11b... of an outer lens 1 arranged on an optical axis L are formed in such a way that they have a common focal point interval, as well as a common cross sectional shape, while the focal point intervals f1-f3 of cylindrical projected lens steps 21a, 21b... of an inner lens 2 are gradually changed (f1<f2<f3) in such a way that the focal points will be longer, as the steps approaches the periphery from the center. The entire light distribution is formed out of a light distribution part P1 formed by the lens steps 21a, 11a, a light distribution part P2 formed by the lens steps 21b, 11b, and of a light distribution part P3 formed by the lens steps 21c, 11c, by the beam that passes each lens step, from the center side. One part of the light distributions P1-P3 of irradiation beam is superimposed on the other light distribution. The uneveness of color is thereby reduced.
