Polarizer nanoimprint lithography

A method of making a polarizer (20, 100b) may include coating a liquid having solid inorganic nanoparticles dispersed throughout a continuous phase, and then forming it into different phases including a solid interconnected network of inorganic nanoparticles. The method can improve manufacturability and reduce manufacturing cost. The method may be used to provide an anti-reflective coating, to provide a protective coating on a polarizing structure (12, 282), to provide a thin film for optical properties, or to form a polarizing structure itself. 一种制造偏振器(20、100b)的方法可包括涂覆具有分散在整个连续相中的固体无机纳米颗粒的液体，然后将其形成为包括无机纳米颗粒的固体互连网络的不同相。该方法可改善可制造性并降低制造成本。该方法可被用来提供抗反射涂层、在偏振结构(12、282)上提供保护涂层、提供用于光学属性的薄膜、或形成偏振结构其本身。
