<p>The present invention provides anthraquinonyl and anthronyl dyes and dichroic light polarizers based on the dyes. The dichroic light polarizer includes two separate embodiments. In the first embodiment, the dye molecules are aggregated into particles oriented in a predetermined direction on the surface of a substrate to enable the dye to polarize light transmitted through the dye. In the other embodiment, the dye molecules are molecularly oriented in a non-periodic arrangement of different polarizing elements on the surface of a substrate. Each of the polarizing elements has a differing orientation of the polarization vector in the substrate plane and/or a different color. The dichroic light polarizer may contain one or more additional dye layers and may have a transparent layer intermediate between the dye layers.</p> |
