ABSTRACT:
A multiple layer reflective polarizer12is described. This element is placed between and optical cavity24and an LCD module16to form an optical display. The reflective polarizer reflects some light into the optical cavity24where it is randomized and may ultimately emerge with the correct polarization to be transmitted out of the display.
