Morphology

bipolarity = bipolar (transparent) = bi + polar + ity

The noun is derived by nominalizing the adjective 'bipolar' with '-ity'; in physics/electrical contexts the morphemes keep their literal meanings (two + poles).

Etymology

Bipolarity comes from bi- 'two', as in bicycle, and polar, from pole 'end', like the North and South poles of a magnet. So, bipolarity means having two opposite poles, such as positive and negative charges.
