As a method of fabricating aspherical microstructures, a protruding
microstructure is formed on a substrate, an aspherical-profile forming
layer is formed on the substrate and the protruding microstructure, and
the aspherical-profile forming layer is hardened. An aspherical profile is
formed on the protruding microstructure due to a surface tension of the
aspherical-profile forming layer in the step of forming the
aspherical-profile forming layer, and the aspherical profile is maintained
through the step of hardening the aspherical-profile forming layer.
