Abstract

There is described a method for making visible range dichroic polarizer material comprising a uniaxially stretched film of polyvinyl alcohol stained with iodine and treated with a borating solution containing a zinc salt. The method comprises the steps of staining a uniaxially stretched sheet of polyvinyl alcohol and further stretching the stained sheet while it is being treated with a borating solution containing a zinc salt. High efficiency visible range dichroic polarizer elements having good neutrality, very high extinction and high transmittance can be made according to the method.
