The micro-lens array in which a plural of convexly-protruded micro-lens are closely arranged two-dimensionally and a plural of convex sub-lenses having a curvature-radius smaller than that of the micro-lens are protrusively formed on the surface of each micro-lens has a large view angle, since D.sub.sav/D is in a range from 0.1 to 0.3 where D is the micro-lens bottom face width obtained by halving the summation of the maximum and the minimum width which are measured along the line passing through the center of the bottom face of the micro-lens; D.sub.s is the sub-lens bottom face width obtained by halving the summation of the maximum and the minimum width which are measured along the line passing through the center of the bottom face of the sub-lens; and D.sub.sav is the average sub-lens bottom face width obtained by averaging a plural of the sub-lens bottom face widths D.sub.s.
