example 1

[0107] This example describes the synthesis of a copolymer, designated for convenience as coPET-A, for use as a low refractive index layer in a multilayer film. The components listed in Table 2 were added to a batch of reactors. Under a pressure of 0.20 MPa, the mixture was heated to 254°C to remove methanol. After 45.5 kg of methanol was removed, 52 g of triethyl phosphonate was added to the reactor, and then the pressure was gradually reduced to 133 Pa while the temperature was heated to 285 °C

[0108] The by-product of the condensation reaction, ethylene glycol, was continuously removed until the polymer had an intrinsic viscosity of 0.84 dL / g when measured as 60 / 40 wt.% phenol / o-dichlorobenzene. The chemical structure below is a description of coPET-A.

example 2

[0111] This example describes the synthesis of a copolymer, labeled coPET-C for convenience, which is used as a low refractive index layer in a multilayer film. The components listed in Table 2 were added to a batch of reactors. Under a pressure of 0.20 MPa, the mixture was heated to 254°C to remove methanol. After 4.1 kg of methanol was removed, 52 g of triethyl phosphonate was added to the reactor, and then the pressure was gradually reduced to 133 Pa while the temperature was heated to 285 °C.

[0112] The by-product of the condensation reaction, ethylene glycol, was continuously removed until the polymer had an intrinsic viscosity of 0.82 dL / g when measured as 60 / 40 wt.% phenol / o-dichlorobenzene.

example 3

[0114] This example describes the synthesis of a copolymer, designated for convenience as coPET-D, for use as a low refractive index layer in a multilayer film. The components listed in Table 2 were added to a batch of reactors. Under a pressure of 0.20 MPa, the mixture was heated to 254°C to remove methanol. After 35.4 kg of methanol was removed, 57 g of triethyl phosphonate was added to the reactor, and then the pressure was gradually reduced to 133 Pa while the temperature was heated to 285 °C.

[0115] The by-product of the condensation reaction, ethylene glycol, was continuously removed until the polymer had an intrinsic viscosity of 0.82 dL / g when measured as 60 / 40 wt.% phenol / o-dichlorobenzene.

Abstract

The present invention provides a unique polarizing beam splitter (PBS) that is suitable for use in projection systems and displays. The PBS contains at least one prism having at least one major surface and having a refractive index of at least about 1.6 and a birefringent film disposed on the major surface of the prism. The birefringent film is a multi-layer film having at layers of at least a first material and a second material. After uniaxial stretching, the film exhibits a refractive index difference of less than about 0.15 units in the stretched direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention pertains to a polarizing beam splitter for use in projection systems, among other applications. In particular, polarizing beam splitters combine relatively high-index prisms with birefringent multilayer films; the multilayer films act as polarizers and contain at least two layers of different materials, at least one of which exhibits birefringence after uniaxial orientation . Selected multilayer films are stable in near UV and blue light. Background technique [0002] For projection systems using reflective liquid crystal display (LCD) imagers, folded optical paths in which the illumination beam and projected image share the same physical space between the polarizing beam splitter (PBS) and the imager provide a compact design. Most reflective LCD imagers are polarization rotating, ie, polarized light is either transmitted with its polarization state substantially unchanged for the darkest state, or with its polarization state ro...
