Abstract:
In an exemplary configuration, a lens array and a light module using the same include a first lens surface 11 and a second lens surface 12 formed into surface shapes such that by expanding the luminous flux diameter of light as the light travels from the first lens surface 11 toward the second lens surface 12, a light spot on the second lens surface 12 is larger in diameter than a light spot on the first lens surface 11, whereby the effects on optical performance by foreign objects and scratches on the lens surface can be mitigated, the criteria for the outward appearance of the lens surface can therefore be mitigated and the yield rate improved, and costs can be reduced.
