P‐12.6: The application study of coated polarizer for TFT‐LCD panels.

For TFT‐LCD industries, polarizer films are essential components, which directly determine the image quality of panels. The market proposes new trends of thin thickness and large size for TFT‐LCD panels, including applying polarizer films. The technology of coating linear polarizer could readily realize these demands and own the potential of being directly fabricated on glass substrates. Herein, we study the preparation process of coating a polarizer on a PET substrate and aim to enhance the optical performance. The coated polarizer with the polarization degree of 99.9% was successfully fabricated and applied at the 32‐inch TFT‐LCD panels with the contrast ratio of 1200. This technology exhibits a great application potential for next‐generation polarizer films be integrated on liquid crystal cell. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
