Embodiment Construction

[0025] Having generally described this invention, further understanding can be obtained by reference to certain preferred embodiments which are provided herein for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the appended claims.

[0026] exist figure 1 In , the subcomponent structure of the broadband multilayer lossless polarizer is shown for more clarity. The polarizer comprises a stack of alternating layers of birefringent film 60 and isotropic film 62 . The polarizer has a transmission axis AB. If unpolarized light 63 is incident on a broadband multilayer lossless polarizer, part of the light 64 having a polarization (b-type polarization state) approximately perpendicular to said transmission axis AB is reflected from the broadband multilayer lossless polarizer while having Another portion of light 65 with a polarization approximately parallel to said transmission axis AB (a-type polarization state) is transmitted through the broadband multila...

Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of color filters, in particular, to a non-absorbing polarization color filters and to high-brightness color liquid crystal display panel with improved image contrast employing non-absorbing polarization color filters and light recycling among neighboring subpixels. The disclosed invention represents a non-absorbing polarization color filter comprising the following elements: a rear broadband multilayer lossless polarizer, a front broadband multilayer lossless polarizer, and a color polarization rotator. The rear broadband multilayer lossless polarizer has a predefined-oriented transmission axis AB. Said front broadband multilayer lossless polarizer is located approximately in parallel with the rear broadband multilayer lossless polarizer, and has a transmission axis approximately parallel or approximately orthogonal with respect to transmission axis AB. The color polarization rotator is located between the front broadband multilayer lossless polarizer and the rear broadband multilayer lossless polarizer. Said color polarization rotator comprises a stack of thin birefringent films with c-axes orientations alternated in sign according to a rocking angle a with respect to orientation of the transmission axis AB. A number, a rocking angle a, thicknesses and optical anisotropies of thin birefringent films are selected so, that the non-absorbing polarization color filter transmits a predetermined color light having the polarization state approximately parallel to transmission axis AB, reflects said predetermined color light having the polarization state orthogonal to the transmission axis AB, and reflects an unpolarized light of other predetermined color.
