Report Overview
Polarizer, also known as polarizing film, can control the polarization direction of a specific light beam. When natural light passes through a polarizer, light perpendicular to the axis will be absorbed, leaving only polarized light with vibration direction parallel to the polarizer’s transmission axis. There are two polarizing films in the liquid crystal display module, the lower polarizing film is used to convert the light generated by the backlight into polarized light, and the upper polarizing film is used to analyze the polarized light modulated by the liquid crystal, producing a contrast between light and dark, and thus producing a display image. Polarizers are mainly made of composite materials such as PVA film, TAC film, protective film, release film, and pressure-sensitive adhesive. Polarizers are an important component of liquid crystal modules.
