Abstract:
Provided are a method of manufacturing a mold, a method of manufacturing a polarizer, and a display apparatus including the polarizer. According to one or more exemplary embodiments, a method of manufacturing a mold, the method including: forming a polymer pattern on a substrate, the polymer pattern including protrusions; forming a wire grid template portion on the substrate by etching, the substrate being etched using protrusions of the polymer pattern as a mask; forming a cover mask covering a portion of the wire grid template portion; forming a recess in the substrate by etching, the substrate being etched using the cover mask, the recess having a bottom surface lower than an upper surface of the wire grid template portion; and removing the cover mask.
Abstract:
A polarizer includes a substrate, and a first metal layer and a second metal layer disposed on the substrate. The first metal layer includes a plurality of protrusions of a wire grid pattern. Each protrusion has a first width and adjacent protrusions are spaced apart by a second width. The second metal layer is disposed on each of the protrusions of the first metal layer, and includes molybdenum (Mo) and/or titanium (Ti).
Abstract:
A display panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate disposed opposite to the first substrate and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The first substrate includes a first wire grid pattern disposed on the first substrate extending in a first direction. The first wire grid pattern includes first recesses spaced apart from each other. The first substrate includes first metal wires disposed in the recesses.
Abstract:
A polarizer includes a base substrate and a dielectric stacked layer. The dielectric stacked layer in includes a first dielectric layer and second dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer has a high refractive index and a second dielectric layer has a low refractive index. A wire grid pattern is disposed on the dielectric stacked layer. The wire grid pattern has a line width, a separation distance and a pitch. The pitch is a sum of the line width and the separation distance. Adjacent grids of the wire grid pattern are spaced apart by the separation distance.
