Abstract
Improvement of the optical performance of polarizer has become important problem for the improvement of brightness and contrast ratio of liquid crystal displays. Analysis of complex refractive index of polarizer and understanding of its influence to the optical characteristic of liquid crystal display is important in the design of the efficient polarizer. In this paper, we devised new method for analyzing the complex refractive index of polarizer accurately by ellipsometry, and clarified its influence to the optical characteristic of the liquid crystal display.
