Abstract
A method of manufacturing a lens including forming a cover blank having cover parts by injecting a thermosetting first resin in a first mold and curing the thermosetting first resin, removing a part or all parts of the first mold, and arranging the cover blank in a second mold. The method further includes forming a lens blank having a light-shielding part between adjacent cover parts by injecting a thermosetting second resin having a greater light absorptance or light reflectance than the thermosetting first resin into the second mold and curing the thermosetting second resin, and obtaining individual lenses by taking out the lens blank from the second mold, and cutting the lens blank at the light-shielding part located between adjacent cover parts to obtain individual lenses each with lateral end surfaces and an upper surface of each of flange parts and lateral side walls covered by the light-shielding part.
