ABSTRACT:
An improved polarizer employing thin films is provided having higher optical properties and capable of fabricating in the mass production and reducing in the overall size or thickness. Particularly, a layer of optical element for polarizing separation of light extends over an undulated surface of a substrate having a cross section of either trapezoid-waveform or triangle-waveform oriented in a particular direction. The substrate having a trapezoid-waveform surface incorporates layers of optical element for reflection or absorption of light which are provided on the upper- and lower-base regions, excluding the sloping regions, of the trapezoid-waveform surface. On the other hand, the substrate having a triangle-waveform surface incorporates layers of optical element for absorption of light which are provided on the upper and lower peak regions of the triangle-waveform surface.
