We developed a 5.5 inch, VGA (640×480×RGB), stereoscopic
3D display using a precisely patterned wire grid polarizer (WGP)
with rows of alternating polarization angle. Such a wire grid
polarizer is invisible without the polarizer and thus a 2D/3D
convertible display can be formed. The proposed structure is free
of any limitations on both viewing angle and viewing distance
inherent in the conventional stereoscopic displays, whereby
enabling several persons to view stereoscopic image
simultaneously. Because the proposed structure does not use
conventional polarization film of TFT-LCD panel, it can be
manufactured with low-cost. View document
Moxtek introduces a flat ProFlux™ wire-grid polarizing beam
splitter for use in projection systems where preservation of image
quality is required upon reflection at the PBS. This paper
discusses advantages obtainable when using the ProFlux™ flat
PBS in projection display architectures, and reasons for these
advantages. Specifically, these advantages include high system
contrast, simplified designs with various LCOS panels, and
inherent high durability. View document
MOXTEK has developed a new polarizer technology for the
visible spectrum based on the technology of nanometer-scale
wire-grids. They have named their technology ProFlux(tm)
Polarizers. These polarizers are extremely durable in the LCOS
and transmissive light valve projector environment. View document
Each year the Society awards the Display of the Year Award to
several leading edge display devices or technologies that provide
innovative solutions to an information display need. The
following paper provides a summary of a 2001 Display of the
Year award recipient. The new polarization technology described
here enables new solutions to difficult and fundamental problems
in the display industry. It is applicable and valuable in all types of
Liquid-Crystal (LC) displays or other applications of polarization
in information display technology. View document
We studied the optical performance of reflective wire grid
polarizer designed for visible light. The polarizer reflects Epolarization
and transmits H-polarization with low losses. When
used in a twisted nematic (TN) device as a back polarizer it
enhances the brightness and provides high contrast ratio at wide
viewing angles. By placing the wire grid polarizer within the cell,
viewing parallax is eliminated. The polarizer can also be used as
the rear electrode. View document
The ProFlux BIR Series Infrared polarizer, designed using Moxtek Nanowire Technology, provides unparalleled broadband infrared performance. Moxtek’s high volume production capacity ensures availability and supports high volume applications. View document
Wire-grid polarizers are now available for broadband visible applications. This type of polarizer is very attractive for projection display applications because of its high efficiency, high contrast, and extreme temperature and flux tolerance. View document
The Moxtek Proflux UVD260 and UVD240 analyzers provide superior broadband performance in spectroscopy applications ranging from 240nm in the Deep UV up to 3.3μm in the mid-wavelength infrared. Moxtek Proflux designs utilize wafer-scale aluminum Nanowire fabrication technology to produce the finest-pitch commercial wire grid polarizers on the market. These deeply sub-wavelength optics offer the benefits of conserved space, an exceptionally wide field acceptance angle, minimal performance variation with wavelength, and none of the dramatic short-wavelength infrared disturbances present in Glan-Taylor and Glan-Thompson polarizers.
