Abstract:
A lens manufacturing apparatus includes a conveying unit that conveys a workpiece having a sheet member and a resin base on the sheet member, an unevenness forming unit that moves a cutting blade in a direction different from the conveying direction of the workpiece and that makes a cut in the surface of the resin base to form concave and convex portions, a resin supply unit that includes nozzles supplying a lens resin to areas, in which the concave portions are not formed, between the convex portions formed on the surface of the resin base, and a resin curing unit that cures the supplied lens resin.
