Abstract
Lenses are arrayed in a lattice on an array surface of a microlens array. A lens has a convex surface that is cylindrical throughout sections that are parallel to a lattice direction of the lens and are orthogonal to the array surface. In each of meridians of the sections parallel to the lattice direction of the lens, a sag amount is corrected so as to increase an inclination of a skirt. In another aspect, a lens has a concave surface that is cylindrical throughout sections that are parallel to a lattice direction of the lens and are orthogonal to an array surface. In each of meridians of the sections parallel to the lattice direction of the lens, a sag amount is corrected so as to increase an inclination of a rim.
