Abstract:
There is provided an optical element including: a substrate; and a plurality of microlenses formed on the substrate. A reflecting surface of the microlens is an aspherical surface and asymmetrical with respect to an optical axis of the microlens. A pitch between adjacent ones of the microlenses is 10 to 230 μm. A depth of the microlens is 3.2 to 15.4 μm.
