these polarizers play an important role in the development of display technology . The main types of them are designed for the visible spectrum and applied in liquid crystal display devices (LCD) intended for products and devices of a wide technical and domestic purposes (such as measuring devices, the latent image identifiers that protect trademarks and securities forgery panels with indicator light, personal computers (PCs), notebook, electronic watches and calculators) . The biggest market for sheet polarizers is the flat-panel display industry.
