Abstract

A polarizing device (10), such as a wire-grid polarizer, includes a substantial mono-layer (24) of a corrosion inhibitor without adversely affecting the optical properties of the polarizing device. The polarizing device can include an optical element (14) and a nano-structure (16), such as an array of a plurality of spaced-apart, elongated elements (32) disposed on a substrate (28). The corrosion inhibitor is chemically bonded to surfaces of the elements to form the mono-layer. The mono-layer can have a thickness less than 100 Angstroms. A method of forming the substantial mono-layer can include treating the polarizing device with an amino phosphonate, such as a nitrilotris (methylene) triphosphonic acid.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to wire grid polarizers for physically decoupling two orthogonal polarizations of visible or near-visible light. In particular, the invention relates to corrosion resistant wire grid polarizers, and methods of treating such wire grid polarizers to render them resistant to reactions. Background technique [0002] Wire grid polarizers have been developed for application in the visible and near-visible spectrum of electromagnetic radiation or light to substantially decouple the two orthogonal polarizations of light. Such wire grid polarizers can be used in optical systems such as image projection systems and image display systems. [0003] However, there are some concerns regarding the durability or long-term integrity of wire grid polarizers. In particular, it is a problem that conductive elements may be susceptible to corrosion or damage, especially in high temperature and humid environments or applications. It should be...
