ABSTRACT:
A microlens array is disclosed which comprises a supporting substrate, a light condensing layer having a plurality of microlenses, and a shading layer having a plurality of openings, each of the microlenses being formed so as to condense light through the corresponding opening of the shading layer, wherein the light condensing layer is formed by exposing a photosensitive resin layer to light with the use of the shading layer as a mask, the photosensitive resin layer being formed on the supporting substrate together with the shading layer.
