Scattering-Type Polarizers Consisting of Fiber/Matrix and Methods to Enhance Polarization Property

Abstract: A nonabsorbed-type polarizer consisting of aligned birefringent fiber/isotropic polymer composites was fabricated. By selecting a matrix polymer with the appropriate refractive index that was matched with the ordinary refractive index or extraordinary refractive index of the fiber, two different types of film were obtained. Both of these different types of film showed the polarization property due to the scattering and transmission depending on the polarization direction. Furthermore, taking advantage of these… Show more

“…However, our fabrication method differs from the conventional INS conjugate meltspinning process [16][17][18], in that it does not remove the sea polymer with a solvent or by melting. Compared with the randomly dispersed scattering-type polarizer [6], our simply fabricated INS-type polarizer does not require dipping into an ultraviolet (UV)-cured resin, thereby reducing the complexity of the fabrication processes. Furthermore, our method ensures that fibers are neither randomly dispersed nor densely packed.…”

“…This results in higher brightness and improved energy efficiency. Polarizers of this type include nanowire grids [2,3], cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) films [4], randomly dispersed-type scattering polarizers [5,6], and multilayer-type reflective polarizers [7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

“…Polarizers, especially those in the form of a film, are very important building blocks in extensive applications, including planner displays, antiglare glasses, photography filters and optical communications, etc [1][2][3][4][5]. The first generation of film polarizers was invented by Land [6] through the thermal drawing of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films containing dichroic dyes.…”
