A coatable polarizer with high performance is a perpetual goal because of its numerous advantages. Here, we demonstrate a photo-induced coatable polarizer with a dichroic ratio of more than 50, a contrast ratio of more than 300, and a thickness less than 500 nm. This polarizer offers a simple and economical technique to realize advanced displays with low cost, ultra-thin profile, flexible style, and high performance.
