The discharger includes: a light source; and a light guide member which extends in a first direction to be opposed to the surface of the photoconductor in a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction. The light guide member has a plurality of holes, each defined by a hole surface. At least a portion of the hole surface is curved. The hole extends in an orthogonal direction substantially orthogonal to the first and second directions.
