Abstract
A polarizer includes a buffer member and linear metal patterns. The buffer member includes protrusions. Each protrusion has downwardly-increasing width. The buffer member is formed of polymer. The linear metal patterns, spaced apart from each other, are extended in a first direction. Each linear metal pattern covers a respective protrusion.
Claims17
A method of manufacturing a polarizer, the method comprising:
- forming a buffer layer including a polymer and a metal layer, wherein the metal layer is formed on the buffer layer;
- and
- forming a plurality of linear metal patterns and a plurality of protrusions from the metal layer and the buffer layer, respectively, by pressing the metal layer and the buffer layer using a mold having a pressing pattern, wherein at least a portion of each protrusion is inserted into a respective metal pattern.
A display panel comprising:
- a first substrate;
- a second substrate facing the first substrate;
- and
- a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate,
- wherein the first substrate includes a polarizer including a plurality of linear metal patterns, and a buffer member, formed of polymer, having a plurality of protrusions, wherein a portion of each protrusion is inserted into a respective linear metal pattern, and wherein each protrusion has a tapered shape.
2 more elements
A display panel, comprising:
- a buffer member including a plurality of protrusions, wherein each protrusion is protruded from an upper surface of the buffer member and the protrusions cause the buffer member to have a corrugated surface;
- and
- a plurality of metal lines disposed on the corrugated surface of the buffer member, wherein each protrusion is enclosed by a respective metal line, and wherein two adjacent metal lines expose a part of the upper surface of the buffer member therebetween.
