Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present technology may comprise a method and apparatus for a polarizing filter. The polarizing filter may be formed such that the filter has varying polarization axes for blocking reflected light emitted from various directions. The method and apparatus may utilize metal wires or molecular chains to form curved lines across the filter, where the curved lines define the polarization axes.
