Linear Polarizing Plates for 3D Projectors from China
Precision polarizing plates used in 3D cinema projectors to create orthogonal polarization states for left and right eye images. These plates transmit specific linear polarizations (0°/90°) essential for passive 3D glasses systems. HTS 9001.20.00.00 covers these as polarizing material plates excluded from machine technical uses.

Import Tips
• Include spectral transmission curves showing operation across visible spectrum (400-700nm) for proper classification
• Separate from projector assemblies; ship as individual plates to avoid set classification issues
