Polymeric Cartesian Polarizing Beam Splitters provide significant cost and performance advantages for LCOS RPTV engines. This paper describes work to demonstrate photo‐stability in these components. Film resins and adhesives both affect photostability, and must be selected carefully. Care must also be taken in constructing the tests and interpreting results.
