本发明首先提供了一种金属线栅偏振器，参照图1、图2和图3所示的本发明金属线栅偏振器一示例实施方式的结构示意图，该金属线栅偏振器1可以包括衬底基板11、多根金属线栅12和多根透明线栅13；衬底基板11具有多个绑定区14和多个绑定对位区15；多根金属线栅12设于所述衬底基板11之上，多根所述金属线栅12相互平行布置，且多根所述金属线栅12在所述衬底基板11上的正投影与多个所述绑定区14和多个所述绑定对位区15均无交叠。
在本示例实施方式中，多根所述金属线栅12在衬底基板11上的正投影可以是多根金属线栅12在衬底基板11的多个绑定区14和多个绑定对位区15所在平面上的正向投影。
多根金属线栅12在衬底基板11上的正投影与多个绑定区14和多个绑定对位区15均无交叠。从而避免在绑定过程金属线栅12对光线的阻挡，使得对位过程顺利进行，实现绑定的准确性。
在本示例实施方式中，衬底基板11可以为玻璃基板。衬底基板11具有显示区域和非显示区域，在非显示区域设置有两个绑定区14和两个绑定对位区15，两个绑定区14位于两个绑定对位区15之间，两个绑定区14的面积大于两个绑定对位区15的面积。绑定区14用于与电路板或柔性电路板绑定，绑定对位区15用于设置对位标识。当然，在本发明的其他示例实施方式中，衬底基板11可以为柔性基板。绑定区14和绑定对位区15的个数以及大小均可以根据需要进行设置。
在本示例实施方式中，在衬底基板11的与多个绑定区14和多个绑定对位区15相对的一面设置有多根金属线栅12，金属线栅12的宽度为纳米级，金属线栅12的长度为宏观量级，能够进行偏光。金属线栅12可以为铝线栅。也就是说多根金属线栅12与多个绑定区14和多个绑定对位区15设置在衬底基板11的相对两侧。金属线栅12在衬底基板11的正投影与多个绑定区14和多个绑定对位区15无交叠，即在多个绑定区14和多个绑定对位区15内没有金属线栅12在衬底基板11上的正投影，使正投影延伸至多个绑定区14和多个绑定 对位区15的金属线栅12被截断而形成两条子金属线栅、三条子金属线栅、四条子金属线栅或更多条子金属线栅。
在本示例实施方式中，在衬底基板11的设置多根金属线栅11的同一面还设置有多根透明线栅13，多根透明线栅13与金属线栅11平行设置，且透明线栅13的两端连接于位于同一直线上的两根子金属线栅之间，即透明线栅13将上述截断的位于同一直线上的子金属线栅重新连接形成一根线栅。透明线栅13可以为透明树脂线栅。需要说明的是，一根金属线栅12有两处截断形成三条子金属线栅的情况下，有两个透明线栅13将三条子金属线栅连接形成一条线栅。同理，有三处截断的情况下，需要三个透明线栅13来连接。透明线栅13不会影响光的透过性，而且避免金属线栅12的倒伏和缺失。
另外，在本发明的其他示例实施方式中，金属线栅12与绑定区14和绑定对位区15可以设置在同一面。在此情况下，在多个绑定区14和多个绑定对位区15不设置金属线栅12，也可以在多个绑定区14和多个绑定对位区15设置多根透明线栅13，且透明线栅13的两端连接位于同一直线上的两根子金属线栅。
在本示例实施方式中，金属线栅偏振器还可以包括多个第一遮挡部18和多个第二遮挡部19，第一遮挡部18的个数与绑定区14的个数相等。第二遮挡部19的个数与绑定对位区15的个数相等，使每个绑定区14的边缘均有一个第一遮挡部18遮挡，每个绑定对位区15的边缘也均有一个第二遮挡部19遮挡。第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19可以设于衬底基板11的背离金属线栅12一面，即第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19与金属线栅12设置在衬底基板11的相对两侧。第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19均设置为环状。绑定区14的边缘位于第一遮挡部18在衬底基板11上的正投影内，绑定对位区15的边缘位于第二遮挡部19在衬底基板11上的正投影内；且绑定区14的边缘可以位于第一遮挡部18在衬底基板11上的正投影的宽度方向的中间位置，绑定对位区15的边缘可以位于第二遮挡部19在衬底基板11上的正投影的宽度方向的中间位置。第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19的宽度大约为5微米。通过第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19将绑定区 14和绑定对位区15的边缘金属线栅12去除导致的异常遮蔽，规避因金属线栅12异常导致的光线不均。
当然，需要说明的是，在金属线栅12与绑定区14和绑定对位区15设置在衬底基板11的同一侧时，第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19也可以设置在金属线栅12的背离衬底基板11的一面。在金属线栅12与绑定区14和绑定对位区15设置在衬底基板11的相对两侧时，第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19可以设置在金属线栅12和衬底基板11之间。总之，只要第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19设置在金属线栅12的出光侧，即可将绑定区14和绑定对位区15的边缘金属线栅11去除导致的异常遮蔽，规避因金属线栅12异常导致的光线不均。
进一步的，本发明还提供了一种金属线栅偏振器的制备方法，参照图4所示的本发明金属线栅偏振器的制备方法一示例实施方式的流程示意框图。该金属线栅偏振器的制备方法可以包括以下步骤：
步骤S10，提供一衬底基板11，所述衬底基板11具有多个绑定区14和多个绑定对位区15。
步骤S20，在所述衬底基板11之上形成多根金属线栅12，多根所述金属线栅12相互平行布置，且多根所述金属线栅12在所述衬底基板11上的正投影与多个所述绑定区14和多个所述绑定对位区15均无交叠。
下面对本发明金属线栅偏振器的制备方法的各个步骤进行详细说明。
步骤S10，提供一衬底基板11，所述衬底基板11具有多个绑定区14和多个绑定对位区15。
在本示例实施方式中，提供一衬底基板11，衬底基板11设置有显示区域和位于显示区域周边的非显示区域，在非显示区域设置有两个绑定区14和两个绑定对位区15。
步骤S20，在所述衬底基板11之上形成多根金属线栅12，多根所述金属线栅12相互平行布置，且多根所述金属线栅12在所述衬底基板11上的正投影与多个所述绑定区14和多个所述绑定对位区15 均无交叠。
在本示例实施方式中，在衬底基板11的设置绑定区14和绑定对位区15的相对侧通过沉积、溅射或蒸镀等工艺形成金属层16，金属层16为铝层，金属层16的厚度大约为200nm。然后，对金属层16进行光刻以去除部分金属层16，使剩余的金属层在衬底基板11上的正投影与绑定区14和绑定对位区15均无交叠。从而避免后续绑定过程金属线栅12对光线的遮挡使得对位过程顺利进行，实现绑定的准确性。
当然，在本发明的其他示例实施方式中，可以在衬底基板11的设置绑定区14和绑定对位区15的一面形成金属层16，然后，对金属层16进行光刻以去除部分金属层16，使剩余的金属层在衬底基板11上的正投影与绑定区14和绑定对位区15均无交叠。从而避免后续绑定过程金属线栅12对光线的遮挡使得对位过程顺利进行，实现绑定的准确性。
在去除部分金属层后，参照图5所示，在衬底基板11的形成金属层的一面形成透明树脂层17，且透明树脂层17仅填充在去除部分金属层16后形成的过孔内。透明树脂层17的厚度与金属层16的厚度相同，大约为200nm。透明树脂层17具有一定的刚性，可耐受后续大约150℃温度。
去除金属层后，导致衬底基板11之上的金属层16与衬底基板11之间存在段差，因纳米压印本身工艺条件较精细，轻微段差可导致周围边部较大区域产生线不良，最终导致金属线栅12的倒伏和缺失。参照图6和图7所示的未填充透明树脂层时形成的金属线栅的显微结构示意图，从该图中可以看到金属线栅12有倒伏和缺失严重。填充透明树脂层17不会影响光的透过性，而且为纳米压印提供较好的基底避免后续金属线栅12的倒伏和缺失。参照图8和图9所示的填充透明树脂层后形成的金属线栅的显微结构示意图，从该图中可以看到金属线栅12没有倒伏也没有缺失。
在金属层16和透明树脂层17上沉积Hard Mask(硬掩模)，硬掩 模是一种通过CVD(Chemical Vapor Deposition，化学气相沉积)生成的无机薄膜材料。其主要成分通常有TiN、SiN、SiO2等。在Hard Mask上压印形成一层压印胶，采用软模板对压印胶进行压印固化，使压印胶上形成多个平行布置的条状凹槽；对未被压印胶覆盖的Hard Mask进行干刻蚀，以除去未被压印胶覆盖的Hard Mask层，以形成Hard Mask掩膜；对未被Hard Mask掩膜覆盖的金属层16和透明树脂层17进行刻蚀，使金属层16形成多根金属线栅12，透明树脂层17形成透明线栅13。
金属线栅12也可以通过以下方法形成。
在衬底基板11的设置绑定区14和绑定对位区15的相对侧通过沉积、溅射或蒸镀等工艺形成金属层16，金属层16为铝层，金属层16的厚度大约为200nm。
在金属层16的背离衬底基板11的一侧形成保护层，保护层的厚度大约为100nm。保护层可以为氧化硅层、氮化硅层等等。
对金属层16和保护层进行光刻以去除部分金属层16和部分保护层，使剩余的金属层16和剩余的保护层在衬底基板11上的正投影与所定区14和绑定对位区15均无交叠。从而避免后续绑定过程金属线栅12对光线的遮挡使得对位过程顺利进行，实现绑定的准确性。
当然，在本发明的其他示例实施方式中，可以在衬底基板11的设置绑定区14和绑定对位区15的一面形成金属层16，在金属层16的背离衬底基板11的一面形成保护层，并对金属层16和保护层进行光刻以去除部分金属层16和部分保护层，使剩余的金属层16和剩余的保护层在衬底基板11上的正投影与绑定区14和绑定对位区15无交叠。从而避免后续绑定过程金属线栅12对光线的遮挡使得对位过程顺利进行，实现绑定的准确性。
在去除部分金属层后，在衬底基板11的形成金属层的一面形成透明树脂层17，且透明树脂层17仅填充在去除部分金属层16和部分保护层后形成的过孔内。透明树脂层17的厚度与金属层16的厚度和保护层的厚度之和相同，大约为300nm。透明树脂层17具有一定 的刚性，可耐受后续大约150℃温度。
去除金属层16和保护层后，同样会导致衬底基板之上的保护层与衬底基板之间存在段差，因纳米压印本身工艺条件较精细，轻微段差可导致周围边部较大区域产生线不良，最终导致金属线栅12的倒伏和缺失。填充透明树脂层17后可以为纳米压印工艺提供较为平整的基底，使后续形成的金属线栅12避免倒伏和缺失。
形成所述透明树脂层17后，在保护层和透明树脂层17上压印形成一层压印胶，采用软模板对压印胶进行压印固化，使压印胶上形成多个平行布置的条状凹槽；对未被压印胶覆盖的保护层进行干刻蚀，以除去未被压印胶覆盖的保护层，以形成保护层掩膜；对未被保护层掩膜覆盖的金属层16和透明树脂层17进行刻蚀，使金属层16形成多根金属线栅12，透明树脂层17形成透明线栅13。
金属线栅12还可以通过以下方法形成。
在衬底基板11的设置绑定区14和绑定对位区15的相对侧通过沉积、溅射或蒸镀等工艺形成金属层16，金属层16为铝层，金属层16的厚度大约为200nm。在金属层16上制作一层SiO2层；SiO2层的厚度大约为100nm。在SiO2层上形成一层压印胶；采用软模板对压印胶进行压印固化，使压印胶上形成多个平行布置的条状凹槽；对未被压印胶覆盖的SiO2层进行干刻蚀，以除去未被压印胶覆盖的SiO2层，以形成SiO2掩膜；对未被SiO2掩膜覆盖的金属层16进行刻蚀以形成多根金属线栅12，然后可以去除SiO2掩膜。
对多根金属线栅12进行图案化处理以去除部分金属线栅12的部分段，使剩余的金属线栅12在衬底基板11上的正投影与绑定区14和绑定对位区15均无交叠。图案化处理可以为干刻或光刻等等。从而避免后续绑定过程金属线栅12对光线的遮挡使得对位过程顺利进行，实现绑定的准确性。
当然，在本发明的其他示例实施方式中，可以在衬底基板11的设置绑定区14和绑定对位区15的一面形成金属线栅12，然后，对金属线栅12进行光刻以去除部分金属线栅12的部分段，使剩余的金 属线栅12在衬底基板11上的正投影与绑定区14和绑定对位区15均无交叠。从而避免后续绑定过程金属线栅12对光线的遮挡使得对位过程顺利进行，实现绑定的准确性。
在本示例实施方式中，将光线设置为从衬底基板11的设置绑定区14和绑定对位区15的相对侧入射。
另外，在衬底基板11的设置绑定区14和绑定对位区15的相对侧形成金属线栅12以后，上述的金属线栅偏振器的制备方法还可以包括，在衬底基板的背离金属线栅12一侧形成遮挡材料层，然后对遮挡材料层进行图案化处理形成第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19。第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19均设置为环状。第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19均位于金属线栅12的出光侧，光线射入金属线栅12，经过金属线栅12的偏光后，射至衬底基板11，透过衬底基板11射至第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19。
绑定区14的边缘位于第一遮挡部18在衬底基板11上的正投影内，绑定对位区15的边缘位于第二遮挡部19在衬底基板11上的正投影内，且绑定区14的边缘可以位于第一遮挡部18在衬底基板11上的正投影的宽度方向的中间位置，绑定对位区15的边缘可以位于第二遮挡部19在衬底基板11上的正投影的宽度方向的中间位置。第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19的宽度大约为5微米。通过第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19分别将绑定区14和绑定对位区15的边缘金属线栅去除导致的异常遮蔽，规避因金属线栅异常导致的光线不均。另外，上述结构中第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19与金属线栅12设置在衬底基板11的相对两侧，因此，还可以先形成第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19然后再形成金属线栅12。
需要说明的是，当金属线栅12形成在衬底基板11的设置绑定区14和绑定对位区15的一侧时，第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19可以形成在金属线栅12的背离衬底基板11的一侧，此时需要先形成金属线栅12然后再形成第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19。当金属线栅12形成在衬底基板11的设置绑定区14和绑定对位区15的相对侧时， 第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19可以形成在金属线栅12和衬底基板11之间，此时需要先形成第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19然后再形成金属线栅12。这样就能保证第一遮挡部18和第二遮挡部19位于金属线栅12的出光侧。
进一步的，本发明还提供了一种显示装置，参照图10所示的本发明显示装置一示例实施方式的结构示意图，该显示装置可以包括显示面板2和光控面板3，显示面板2位于光控面板3的出光侧，具体为：显示面板2位于第二液晶层32的背离第二阵列基板31的一面，且显示面板2的第一液晶层22相较于第一阵列基板21远离光控面板3。

当然，在本发明的其他示例实施方式中，第一阵列基板21可以设于金属线栅12的背离衬底基板11的一面，即金属线栅12设于衬底基板11和第一阵列基板21之间。金属线栅12和第一阵列基板21之间还可以设置绝缘层。
