Disclosed herein is a quantum rod backlight module for a liquid crystal display. The quantum rod backlight module includes a quantum rod layer disposing at one side of a backlight source and comprising a plurality of quantum rods, wherein the major axes of the plurality of quantum rods are aligned along a direction parallel to a surface of the quantum rod layer; a first micro-prism layer including a plurality of first parallel strip-shape prisms, and a second micro-prism layer including a plurality of second parallel strip-shape prisms, wherein both of the alignment directions of the first parallel strip-shape prisms and the second parallel strip-shape prisms are perpendicular to the direction of the major axes of the plurality of quantum rods, and the retardations of the first micro-prism layer and the second micro-prism layer are zero.

Disclosed herein is a polarizer for LCD. The polarizer includes a polarizing layer, a quantum rods layer comprising a plurality of quantum rods, a first protective layer and a second protective layer, wherein major axis of the quantum rods is aligned in a direction perpendicular to the absorption axis of the polarizing layer. Accordingly, the incident unpolarized light emitted from the backlight unit can be transferred to be polarized light by the quantum rods layer and pass through the polarizing layer directly for enhancing the utility of the backlight.
