Abstract

The invention discloses a polaroid sheet with a subwavelength grating structure, which comprises a transparent substrate, a dielectric grating, a first metal layer and a second metal layer. The dielectric grating is provided with ridges and grooves which are periodically arranged at intervals, the first metal layer is covered on the ridges of the dielectric grating, the second metal layer is covered in the grooves of the dielectric grating, and the period of the dielectric grating is less than the wavelength of incident light. The invention is characterized in that: a high refractive index dielectric layer is arranged between the transparent substrate and the dielectric grating, and the refractive index of the high refractive index dielectric layer is between 1.6 and 2.4. The transmission efficiency and the extinction ratio of TM light of the polaroid sheet are improved by adding the high refractive index dielectric layer between the transparent substrate and the dielectric grating. In the whole visible light waveband, the polaroid sheet has high transmission efficiency, high extinction ratio, and wide incident angle range. In the process, a nano-imprint technique is adopted to process and produce, the production process is simple and convenient and is easy to operate, an etching process is not needed, and the processing cost is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a polarizer suitable for visible light, in particular to a polarizer with a sub-wavelength grating structure, which can be applied to the field of backlight display. Background technique [0002] Polarizer is a very important optical component used in liquid crystal display, optical measurement, optical communication and other systems, and has a very broad market. Polarizers with high extinction ratios, a wide range of incident angles, and very compact volumes are required in these systems. Traditional polarizers are too bulky, have complicated manufacturing processes, and only have a large extinction ratio in a small wavelength range, which can no longer meet the requirements of the display industry for light weight, ultra-thin, and low cost. Therefore, how to design a polarizer with a compact structure, easy processing, and high cost performance has become a research and development trend in this field. [0003] The researc...
