Description

Optical element and manufacture method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to optical element and manufacture method thereof.
Background technology
As the polarization plates that is used for optical device, the polarization plates of known 2 layers of structure or 3-tier architecture: wherein, usually, single or double at the polarization layer that constitutes by polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) (PVA), lamination the supporting layer that constitutes by the Triafol T (TAC) that is used for mechanicalness intensity etc. is guaranteed (for example, with reference to patent documentation 1.)。By the supporting layer that TAC constitutes, because good at aspects such as the transparency, homogeneity, planarityes, the anisotropy that is caused by molecular orientation is in the extreme little, is used for supporting layer that polarization layer is supported so be suitable as.
, in existing polarization plates, be not absorbed in inside, cause the temperature of polarization plates to rise so produce a large amount of heat because pass the light of polarization layer.Therefore, there is the polarization plates deterioration and problem that the polarization characteristic of polarization plates reduces.
Therefore, as the optical element of the structure that solves so optical element of problem, disclose the light-transmitting substrate that the two sides (outside of the supporting layer of polarization plates) that has at plane of polarization attached heat conductivity (for example, with reference to patent documentation 2.)。According to this optical element, the heat in that polarization plates produces because reject heat to outside the system by the light-transmitting substrate of heat conductivity, rises so can suppress the temperature of polarization plates.The problem that therefore, can suppress the polarization characteristic reduction of polarization plates deterioration, polarization plates.

But the high briliancy propelling of light source in optical device in recent years produces the temperature rising that causes polarization plates than existing a large amount of heat easily in polarization plates.Therefore, the temperature of polarization plates of resulting from rises, and causes the polarization plates deterioration easily and problem that the polarization characteristic of polarization plates reduces.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the present invention makes in order to solve so problem, purpose be to provide with existingly compare, can be to resulting from that the temperature of polarization plates rises and the optical element that the situation that the polarization characteristic of polarization plates reduces suppresses.And purpose is to be provided for making the manufacture method of so good optical element.
The present inventor, in order to achieve the above object, to in the polarization plates that is recorded in patent documentation 1 and be recorded in the optical element of polarization plates of patent documentation 2, the temperature of polarization plates of resulting from rises and reason that the polarization characteristic of polarization plates reduces, in order to study the result who verifies and carry out effort with keen determination repeatedly, draw opinion: this reason, the supporting layer that is (1) formation polarization plates is exposed to the outside, and there is supporting layer in (2) at the light incident side and/or the light emitting side of the polarization layer that constitutes polarization plates.
That is, in the polarization plates that is recorded in patent documentation 1, be exposed to the outside, so result from that the temperature of polarization layer rises and make supporting layer expand easily, be out of shape from the immersion of the moisture of extraneous air because constitute the supporting layer of polarization plates.Therefore, the result that the molecular orientation in the supporting layer of light incident side and light emitting side gets muddled reduces the polarization characteristic as polarization plates.And, under this situation, because if the disorder of the molecular orientation in the supporting layer of generation light incident side, then the disorder of this molecular orientation is directly at the tested polarization of polarization layer, so reduce significantly as the polarization characteristic of polarization plates.
On the other hand, in the optical element that is recorded in patent documentation 2, because have the structure that has attached the light-transmitting substrate of heat conductivity on the two sides of polarization plates, so supporting layer can not be exposed to the outside.Therefore, can be to resulting from and supporting layer expands, the situation of distortion suppresses from the immersion of the moisture of extraneous air.
But usually, heat conductivity is little because supporting layer is compared to light-transmitting substrate, so even attach the light-transmitting substrate of heat conductivity on the two sides of polarization plates, the heat that produces at polarization layer also is difficult to pass to light-transmitting substrate by supporting layer.Therefore, the heat that produces at polarization layer is failed to dispel the heat and is caused the temperature of polarization layer to rise, and the birefringence that causes because of thermal strain takes place in supporting layer the result, and the polarization characteristic as polarization plates is reduced.
Therefore, the present inventor, based on above opinion, expect: if the polarization plates that adopts light incident side and light emitting side at polarization layer not to have the structure of supporting layer as polarization plates, then compare with existing, can be to resulting from that the temperature of polarization plates rises and the situation that the polarization characteristic of polarization plates reduces suppresses, and the present invention is finished.
Optical element of the present invention, it is characterized in that, possess: comprise the polarization plates of polarization layer, fit in aforementioned polarization plates polarization layer a side the surface the 1st light-transmitting substrate and fit in the opposing party's the 2nd light-transmitting substrate on surface of the polarization layer of aforementioned polarization plates; Aforementioned the 1st light-transmitting substrate and aforementioned the 2nd light-transmitting substrate are made of inorganic material.
