Circular Polarizers
API’s circular polarizing filters are optimal for display, camera, and sensor applications where sensitivity to linearly polarized light is an issue, but glare reduction is required. Circular polarization is also used in passive 3D applications as an alternative to a linear polarizer filter.
API circular polarizers combine a linear polarizer and a quarter wave retarder. We offer standard products or custom laminations to meet your design needs. Our 50+ years of experience allow us to produce a filter that has excellent glare reduction, high resolution, and very good environmental stability for all your display and imaging requirements.
