Abstract
The present invention provides a polarizer that includes a supporting member and a liquid crystal polarizing layer that is coated on the supporting member. The liquid crystal polarizing layer includes liquid crystal molecules that are arranged in a predetermined direction and polarizing molecules that are combined with the liquid crystal molecules in order to absorb light oscillating in predetermined direction. The resulting polarizer is thin and highly effective.
Claims6
