ABSTRACT:
A lens element1is formed by making use of an optical substrate, and includes a lens portion2, an edge portion6in the form of a circular arc provided along the circumference of the lens portion2, and handling portion4which is integrated with the lens portion2and the edge portion6as well and extends with a width wider than that of the lens portion2. The handling portion4can be caught and held by chucking vacuum suction and so forth. The lens element1can be handled by catching the handling portion4without directly touching the lens element1, and thus the lens element1is neither damaged nor contaminated, and stably handled with ease.
