Abstract
A wire grid polarizer (WGP) can have a phosphonate conformal-coating to protect the WGP from at least one of the following: corrosion, dust, and damage due to tensile forces in a liquid on the WGP. The conformal-coating can include a chemical: where Rcan include a hydrophobic group, Z can include a bond to the ribs, and Rcan be any suitable chemical element or group. A method of applying a phosphonate conformal-coating over a WGP can include exposing the WGP to (R)PO(R)(R), where: i is 1 or 2, j is 1 or 2, k is 0 or 1, and i+j+k=3; each Rcan independently include a hydrophobic group; Rcan include a phosphonate-reactive-group; each Rcan independently include an alkyl group, an aryl group, or combinations thereof; and each R, if any, can independently be any suitable chemical element or group.
