Definitions

  • the present application is related generally to selectively-absorptive wire grid polarizers, meaning that the polarizer is designed to substantially absorb one polarization and to substantially transmit an opposite polarization.
  • a selectively-absorptive wire grid polarizer can include a rib of material that is absorptive in the wavelength range of interest. Because of the structure of the rib, the WGP can selectively absorb one polarization while allowing an opposite polarization to substantially transmit through the WGP.
  • the absorptive material used in a selectively-absorptive WGP can have a narrow band of effective absorption. Consequently, one WGP is typically designed for one narrow spectrum of light and another WGP is designed for another narrow spectrum of light. For example, three WGPs might be used to cover the visible spectrum of light (one WGP for red, another for green, and another for blue). It would be beneficial to both the user and the manufacturer of selectively-absorptive WGPs to absorb a larger bandwidth of light.

Les tiges peuvent chacune comprendre un fil réfléchissant (13) et deux nervures absorbantes (12). Le fil réfléchissant peut être pris en sandwich entre les deux nervures absorbantes et le substrat ou les deux nervures absorbantes peuvent être prises en sandwich entre le fil réfléchissant et le substrat. Les deux nervures absorbantes peuvent chacune comprendre un matériau différent. L'utilisation de multiples nervures absorbantes à l'intérieur de chaque tige peut augmenter la largeur de bande utile efficace de la lumière pour absorber sélectivement une polarisation.
