Abstract
The present invention provides a polarizer that includes a supporting member and a liquid crystal polarizing layer that is coated on the supporting member. The liquid crystal polarizing layer includes liquid crystal molecules that are arranged in a predetermined direction and polarizing molecules that are combined with the liquid crystal molecules in order to absorb light oscillating in predetermined direction. The resulting polarizer is thin and highly effective.
