1. A method of manufacturing a polarizer, the method comprising:
- forming a metal layer on a substrate;
forming a hard mask on the metal layer;
forming an adhesion layer on a portion of the hard mask;
forming a polymer layer on the hard mask and the adhesion layer;
pressing a mold on the polymer layer to form a lattice pattern in association with the polymer layer;
removing the mold and a portion of the lattice pattern; and
patterning the adhesion layer, the hard mask, and the metal layer using a remaining portion of the lattice pattern as a mask.
