A high‐performance micro‐patterned polarizing element has successfully been fabricated by in‐plane anisotropic alignment of a chromonic lyotropic liquid crystal. Although the fabrication method is quite simple, the orientational order of the polarizing element obtained is high enough for practical usage. The Figure shows a microscopy image of two crossed micro‐patterned polarizing elements.
