1. An illumination unit comprising:
a plurality of light sources each including a solid-state light-emitting device configured to emit light from a light emission region including a single or a plurality of light-emitting spots; and an optical member having a minor axis and a major axis, and allowing incident light from the solid-state light-emitting device to pass therethrough, wherein the solid-state light-emitting device includes a single chip or a plurality of chips each emitting a light beam, wherein three or more of the light-emitting spots are provided within the whole light sources, to allow the whole light sources to emit light beams in two or more wavelength bands different from one another, wherein two or more of the plurality of the light sources include respective light-emitting spots which emit light in a same wavelength band, wherein one or more of the chips in the whole light sources include a laser diode, wherein the chip configured of the laser diode, in at least one of the plurality of light sources, includes a plurality of light-emitting spots, and wherein the second light source is configured to emit light beams of two or more different wavelengths, and wherein directions of major axes of the far field patterns of the light beams of two or more different wavelengths are substantially aligned with each other. |
