The imaging lens comprises, successively in order from the object side, a positive first lens group that does not move during focusing, a second lens group that moves during focusing, a stop, and a positive third lens group that consists of all lenses moving integrally with the second lens group during focusing. The composite focal length of the second lens group and the third lens group is positive. The first lens group includes four or more positive lenses and three or more negative lenses. The imaging lens satisfies predetermined conditional expressions.

The invention concerns a projection objective and a waveguide display. The objective is adapted to project an image from a first plane to a second plane and comprises in order from the second plane a first optical element group having a positive effective focal length, a second optical element group placed between the first plane and the first optical element group and having a negative effective focal length, and a third optical element group placed between the first plane and the second optical element group and having a positive effective focal length. Counting from the second plane, the first refractive surface of the second optical element group is concave towards the second plane and the second refractive surface of the third optical element group is convex towards the first plane. The objective suits well for projecting images to diffractive optical displays.

The rear converter lens consists of, in order from an object side: a first lens group that has a positive refractive power; a second lens group that has a negative refractive power; and a third lens group that has a positive refractive power. The first lens group consists of a cemented lens in which a negative lens concave toward the image side and a positive lens convex toward the object side are cemented. The second lens group consists of a cemented lens in which a negative lens concave toward the image side, a positive lens convex toward both sides, and a negative lens concave toward the object side are cemented. The third lens group consists of a cemented lens in which a positive lens convex toward the object side and a negative lens are cemented. The rear converter lens satisfies predetermined Conditional Expressions (1) and (2).
