Abstract

In this disclosure, a blue colorant is added in the adhesion layer of a reflective polarizer to compensate the chromaticity difference caused by the reflective polarizer itself and large horizontal viewing angle. The chromaticity difference can be further reduced by adding beads in the adhesion layer and/or forming light-gathering microstructures on the outer surface of the quarter wave plate of the reflective polarizer.
