  • Patent number: 11999119
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing a polarizing plate. The method includes a step of preparing a transfer type retarder laminate which has a carrier substrate, an alignment film and a retarder layer sequentially; and a step of laminating the transfer type retarder laminate on one side of a polymeric stretched film containing a dichroic substance, where a peel force at a peeling angle of 90° between the carrier substrate and the retarder layer in the transfer type retarder laminate and a peeling rate of 300 mm/min is in a range of 0.10 N/20 mm to 0.13 N/20 mm. The polarizing plate can be used as a circularly polarizing plate or an optical compensation polarizing plate in various display devices.

  • Patent number: 11366259
    Abstract: The present application relates to an optical film, an optical element and an imaging device. The optical film of the present application does not only exhibit broadband polarization conversion characteristics in the visible light region, but also has absorption bands in the visible light region. Such an optical film can be applied to an imaging device such as an augmented reality apparatus as an optical element such as a diffractive light guide plate laminate to suppress crosstalk.

  • Patent number: 10845654
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optical device and an optical device is provided. The manufacturing method is capable of minimizing or eliminating dotting unevenness that may occur when an optical device is manufactured by a dotting process. In particular, even when a large cell gap is present or a polymer substrate is applied as a substrate so that high-temperature heat treatment is impossible, such method of the present application can provide an alignment film having improved orientation by improving the dotting unevenness.
