A wire grid polarizer (WGP) (10) can have a conformal-coating (13) to protect the WGP (10) from at least one of the following: corrosion, dust, and damage due to tensile forces in a liquid on the WGP (10). The conformal-coating (13) can include a silane conformal-coating with chemical formula (1), chemical formula (2), or combinations thereof: (Formula (1)) A method of applying a conformal-coating (13) over a WGP (10) can include exposing the WGP (10) to Si(R1)d(R2)e(R3)g. In the above WGP (10) and method, X can be a bond to the ribs (12); each R1 can be a hydrophobic group; each R3, if any, can be any chemical element or group; d can be 1, 2, or 3, e can be 1, 2, or 3, g can be 0, 1, or 2, and d+e+g = 4; R2 can be a silane-reactive-group; and each R6 can be an alkyl group, an aryl group, or combinations thereof. |
