16. The optical element according to claim 11, wherein at least one parameter of lengths, widths, cross-sectional shapes, reliefs, numbers, arranged curves and offset angles of small short lines in the two different types of sub-texture pattern units is different.

17. The optical element according to claim 1, wherein the optical element further comprises a carrier layer, an optical layer disposed at a side of the carrier layer, a substrate layer disposed at an opposite side of the carrier layer, a reflective layer covering the optical layer and a colored layer covering the reflective layer, the optical layer comprising the plural texture patterns.

18. The optical element according to claim 1, wherein the sub-texture pattern unit is a curved cylindrical lens, a linear cylindrical mirror, or a plurality of small short lines arranged in curves, one type of texture patterns of the optical element comprise a curved cylindrical lens, and another type of texture patterns comprise a linear cylindrical mirror; or one type of texture patterns of the optical element comprise a plurality of small short lines arranged in curves, and another type of texture patterns comprise a linear cylindrical mirror; or one type of texture patterns of the optical element comprise a curved cylindrical lens, another type of texture patterns comprise a linear cylindrical mirror, and a further type of texture patterns comprise a plurality of small short lines arranged in curves.

19. A mobile phone cover plate, wherein it comprises the optical element as claimed in any one of claim 1.

20. A mold for manufacturing an optical element, wherein the mold comprises plural texture patterns, at least one type of texture patterns of the plural texture patterns having concave structures or convex structures, the at least one type of texture patterns containing at least one type of sub-texture pattern units, wherein the at least one type of texture patterns are of curved shapes.
