چکیده
Each year the Society awards the Display of the Year Award to several leading edge display devices or technologies that provide innovative solutions to an information display need. The following paper provides a summary of a 2001 Display of the Year award recipient. The new polarization technology described here enables new solutions to difficult and fundamental problems in the display industry. It is applicable and valuable in all types of Liquid-Crystal (LC) displays or other applications of polarization in information display technology.

A Transflective Nano-Wire Grid Polarizer Based Fiber-Optic Sensor
A transflective nano-wire grid polarizer is fabricated on a single mode fiber tip by focused ion beam machining. In contrast to conventional absorptive in-line polarizers, the wire grids reflect TE-mode, while transmitting TM-mode light so that no light power is discarded. A reflection contrast of 13.7 dB and a transmission contrast of 4.9 dB are achieved in the 1,550 nm telecom band using a 20...
متن کاملImproved polarizer in the infrared: two wire-grid polarizers in tandem.
A widely used polarizer in the IR is the wire-grid polarizer. Wire-grid polarizers with a typical minimal wire spacing of ~0.25 microm perform well in the middle IR and the far IR, but in the near IR the performance deteriorates as the wavelength approaches the wire spacing. A possibility for improving this performance is to put two wire grids in tandem with their transmission axes parallel. St...
متن کاملInstrument effects in polarized infrared images
Michael R. Descour, MEMBER SPIE University of Arizona Optical Sciences Center Tucson, Arizona 85721 Abstract. We describe three instrument effects that cause polarized infrared images of a blackbody source to exhibit intriguing polarization dependence and image nonuniformity. The origins of these problems are reflection of background radiation from the wire-grid polarizer and frictional heating...
متن کاملGaInN-based light emitting diodes embedded with wire grid polarizers
The use of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) has become prevalent in our modern, technology driven society. We demonstrate a linearly polarized GaInN light-emitting diode (LED) embedded with a wire-grid polarizer (WGP). A derivation of rigorous coupled-wave analysis is given; starting from Maxwell’s equations and finishing by matching the boundary conditions in the grating and other regions of int...
متن کاملIridium wire grid polarizer fabricated using atomic layer deposition
In this work, an effective multistep process toward fabrication of an iridium wire grid polarizer for UV applications involving a frequency doubling process based on ultrafast electron beam lithography and atomic layer deposition is presented. The choice of iridium as grating material is based on its good optical properties and a superior oxidation resistance. Furthermore, atomic layer depositi...
