Abstract:
Since an internal surface of an arc ball receiving recess, which greatly affects the shape of an arc ball, is formed in an arcuate cross section swelling outward, the arc ball can be formed so as to be received in the arc ball receiving recess in front of a focusing opening of a slit shape, whereby the arc ball can be formed in a well-regulated form. Therefore, the arc ball with uniform luminance distribution in the longitudinal direction of the slit focusing opening can be made with certainty in the arc ball receiving recess.
