A spacer members is placed between a lens that is located at the lowermost
end among a plurality of lenses and a parallel flat plate that is placed
below the lens, and the lens is made to support by suspension the
parallel flat plate by sucking a part of the lens and the parallel flat
plate. Accordingly, the spacer member does not need to be larger than the
parallel flat plate and the space in the vicinity of the parallel flat
plate can be secured, compared with the case where a holding mechanism
that holds the parallel flat plate by grasping it is employed. Further,
since the parallel flat plate is not grasped, deformation of the parallel
flat plate can be avoided, which can suppress occurrence of aberration in
a projection unit.
