There is provided an illuminator comprising: a light source that radially emits white lights in a forward direction; and a lens sheet that is arranged facing the light source and that has a plurality of prisms on one side thereof concentrically at an optical axis so as to control orientation of the white lights that are emitted from the light source, wherein the light source is composed of: a luminous element that emits lights with a predetermined wavelength; and a sealing body that covers the luminous element and that includes phosphors therewith, the phosphors being adapted to receive the lights with the predetermined wavelength which are emitted from the luminous element so as to emit fluorescence, and the lens sheet includes prisms that have focal distances each different from the prisms adjacent thereto.
