PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a metapolarizer device that polarizes light with less light attenuation (light loss) than light attenuation normally occurring in absorptive or reflective polarizers.SOLUTION: A metapolarizer device transmits light of one polarity and rotates light of the other polarity so that it approaches the same polarity as that of the transmitted light. Although the light emitting from the metapolarizer device is highly polarized, the total light transmissivity of the metapolarizer device can be sufficiently in excess of 50%, and can approach 100% in the theoretical limit. |
