Polarizer Film
Polarizer Film or Polarizing film is made by dyeing film (mainly polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)) or by iodine being adsorbed onto its surface, then stretching and orientating it. This gives the film polarization characteristics that allow only light with a certain oscillation direction to pass through it. Furthermore, in order to secure mechanical strength of the film, backing materials such as a TAC film or a protective film is laminated to it.

Polarizing film is given various kinds of treatment. The film itself is also required to have functions to control reflection, stain and light leakage. Some types of LCDs, touch panels, or organic EL displays also require a product made by laminating a retardation film to the polarizing film.
