Abstract

With the development of technology, the display industry has been focusing on the development of new types of displays, such as bendable and wearable displays. However, the PVA/TAC polarizing film used in the manufacturing of a normal display is associated with low luminance and low efficiency. If the existing polarization film is replaced with a wire grid polarizer, it is possible to reduce the thickness significantly. Moreover enhanced brightness can also be expected. This study confirms the optical properties of the WGP through a simulation.
