Abstract:
A cholesteric liquid crystal reflective polarizing plate includes a cholesteric liquid crystal layer and a λ/4 compensation layer disposed on the cholesteric liquid crystal layer. The cholesteric liquid crystal layer includes a first left-handed circularly polarizing portion which extends in a first direction that include a left-handed cholesteric liquid crystal material, and a first right-handed circularly polarizing portion which extends in the first direction adjacent to first left-handed circularly polarizing portion and that includes a right-handed cholesteric liquid crystal material. The λ/4 compensation layer includes a first λ/4 compensation pattern which extends in the first direction and overlapping the first left-handed circularly polarizing portion, and a second λ/4 compensation pattern which extends in the first direction adjacent to the first λ/4 compensation pattern and overlaps the first right-handed circularly polarizing portion. The first λ/4 compensation pattern and the second λ/4 compensation pattern have slow axes perpendicular to each other.
Abstract:
A method of attaching a polarizer includes preparing a first stage on which a display panel is disposed and a second stage on which a first polarizer is disposed, measuring a shape of a curl of the first polarizer; determining an attachment direction of the first polarizer with respect to the display panel based on the measured curl shape of the first polarizer and attaching the first polarizer to a first surface of the display panel by rotating at least one of the first stage and the second stage based on the determined attachment direction.

Abstract:
Provided is a liquid crystal display panel including a thin-film transistor (TFT) array substrate and a first phase difference film. A liquid crystal layer is disposed between the TFT array substrate and the first phase difference film. A second phase difference film is disposed on the first phase difference film. A phase retardation value of the first phase difference film in a thickness direction is in a range of from about 100 nm to about 300 nm.
Abstract:
A polarizer includes a reflective polarizer main body and an Rth compensation layer. The reflective polarizer main body includes a repetitively laminated structure, the repetitively laminated structure including two layers of different refractive indices repetitively disposed on one another. The Rth phase compensation layer is disposed at one side of the reflective polarizer main body. The Rth phase compensation layer is configured to compensate for a phase difference in an Rth direction.
Abstract:
A polarizer includes a first laminated structure having a first layer with a first refractive index and a second layer with a second refractive index, wherein the first and second refractive indices are different from each other. A buffer layer is disposed on the first laminated structure. A second laminated structure in the polarizer has a third layer with a third refractive index and a fourth layer with a fourth refractive index, wherein the third and fourth refractive indices are different from each other.
