Indication of light in-coming side and outgoing side
The incident and exit plane of the polarized glass or 
Optical block is shown in the figure below. It shows the 
light emitted from the lamp.
The aluminum evaporated surface of inorganic polarizer is contact prohibition area. Prohibit touching it with bare 
hand, wiping or contacting with the other parts.

This projector provides high durable inorganic polarizer which has a rib shaped evaporated aluminum on the glass surface.
This surface is very delicate. If touching or wiping the surface, the polarizing function will be lost due to damage of the 
aluminium rib construction on the surface. Extreme care should be taken to handle the polarizer.
 Inorganic polarizer handling
 Never grasp the surface or edges of the polarizer with bare hand. If fat and oil on your hand adheres on the 
edges of polarizer, the linear bolt may appear on the glass surface due to capillarity. Grasp the edges of the 
glass with new gloves or with tweezers when handling it.
 Inorganic polarizer cleaning
 When removing the dust on the surface, use a commercial (inert gas) air spray or air blower to remove them. 
Never use organic solvents.
