摘要

Molded articles, such as a lens, are produced by multiple repetitions of a transfer process composed of the transformation step of bringing a transfer member (62) provided with a transfer configuration area consisting of the same configuration as that of a lens part with aspherical configuration or the configuration opposed to the lens part with aspherical configuration into contact with a photohardening resin to thereby transform the photohardening resin in conformity with the transfer configuration of the transfer member (62); the hardening step of irradiating at least a transformed area of the transformed photohardening resin with light by the use of a light irradiation unit (60) to thereby attain hardening; and the departing step of letting the photohardened resin and the transfer member depart from each other.
