  • Polarizing element, liquid crystal device, and electronic apparatus
    Patent number: 8760604
    Abstract: A polarizing element includes a plurality of polarizing sections, wherein a first polarizing section included in the plurality of polarizing sections has a first base material and a plurality of first acicular particles dispersed in the first base material such that long axes of the first acicular particles are aligned in substantially the same direction, a second polarizing section included in the plurality of polarizing sections has a second base material and a plurality of second acicular particles dispersed in the second base material such that long axes of the second acicular particles are aligned in substantially the same direction, and the specification of the first acicular particles is different from that of the second acicular particles.
    Type: Grant
