  • Patent number: 6552849
    Abstract: The invention is to develop a color polarizing plate with a support, the polarizing plate having both good brightness and polarizing efficiency for a blue channel (for blue light). The color polarizing plate with a support for a liquid crystal projector comprises a polarizing plate containing a stilbene type water-soluble azo dye as a dichroic molecule and a support, wherein the polarizing plate has an average single transmittance of 39% or more and an average crossed transmittance of 0.4% or less at 420 to 500 nm and an average crossed transmittance of 4% or more at 50 to 780 nm.

  • Patent number: 5935735
    Abstract: A quartz glass substrate is placed in a DC or RF sputtering apparatus containing argon gas or oxygen gas. A zirconium compound target is reactively sputtered to form at least one halftone film made of a zirconium compound target on the substrate, thereby forming a blank for a halftone phase shift mask. The refractive index, the extinction coefficient, and the film thickness of the halftone film are so determined that the transmittance and the reflectance to exposure light are 2 to 15% and 30% or less, respectively, and the transmittance to inspection light is 30% or less.
