Description

The manufacture method of transverse electric field driving liquid crystal display cells
Technical field
The present invention relates to the manufacture method of transverse electric field driving liquid crystal display cells.
Background technology
Liquid crystal display cells for LCD TV, liquid crystal display etc. is generally provided with for controlling liquid crystal in element The liquid crystal orientation film of state of orientation.
At present, according to industrial most common method, this liquid crystal orientation film be by with cloth such as cotton, nylon, polyester towards one The film table formed by polyamic acid and/or the polyimides by its imidizate that direction wiping is formed on electrode base board Face, the most so-called friction treatment make.
In the orientation process of liquid crystal orientation film, the method that face carries out friction treatment is easy and highly productive Industrial useful method.But, the high performance of liquid crystal display cells, high-definition, the requirement of maximization are improved day by day, In the impact of the damage on liquid crystal orientation film surface, airborne dust, mechanical force or the electrostatic that are caused by friction treatment and then orientation process face The various problems such as inhomogeneities the most obvious.
The instead method of friction treatment, it is known that the light giving liquid crystal aligning ability by irradiating polarized UV rays takes Xiang Fa.To liquid crystal aligning based on optical alignment method process, propose according to mechanism utilize photoisomerization to react process, utilize light The process of dimerization, utilize the process etc. (with reference to non-patent literature 1) of photolysis reactions.
Such as, in patent documentation 1, it is proposed that the polyimide film on main chain with alicyclic structures such as Tetramethylene. rings is used Method in optical alignment method.In the case of using the polyimide film that have employed this optical alignment method as liquid crystal orientation film, with Additive method is compared has high-fire resistance, therefore can expect its serviceability.
Such polyimide film with alicyclic structures such as Tetramethylene. rings, by irradiating the ultraviolet of short wavelength, especially It is the polarized UV rays near 254nm, presents high anisotropy, obtain the liquid crystal orientation film that liquid crystal aligning is excellent.But, Owing to the ultraviolet energy near 254nm is high, irradiating and need a large amount of electric power, the cost being applied not only to light orientation process is high, to ring The load in border is the biggest.Additionally, for the ultraviolet using the higher short wavelength of energy, it is believed that also have to the electrode formed on substrate Or thin film transistor (TFT) (being the most also denoted as TFT) brings the probability of damage.
On the other hand, the optical alignment method utilizing photoisomerization or photodimerization can pass through the inclined of more than illumination wavelength 300nm Shake ultraviolet, gives anisotropy.But, utilize the liquid crystal orientation film obtained by the optical alignment method of photoisomerization or photodimerization Orientation restraint weak, in the case of liquid crystal display cells, have the problem producing ghost.
Here, it is known that substrate (laterally) is above applied electric field in the horizontal direction and drives the transverse electric field of liquid crystal molecule to drive The liquid crystal display cells of mode (IPS:In-Plane Switching).The liquid crystal display cells of this transverse electric field type of drive by Useful in visual angle width, but owing to being easily subject to the impact of the state of orientation of liquid crystal, have be particularly easy to produce the most residual The problem of shadow.

Except using aligning agent for liquid crystal (F) to replace aligning agent for liquid crystal (C1), the irradiation dose of polarized UV rays is set to 500mJ/cm2, do not carry out, beyond 2 irradiations, after manufacturing liquid crystal cell with step same as in Example 3, carrying out ghost evaluation.
[table 2]
By the results verification of table 2, do not add any one in the comparative example 4~7 of polymerizable compound after AC drives Orientation azimuth is significantly deviateed, but with the addition of polymerizable compound and carry out UV irradiation (2 photographs after liquid crystal cell manufacture Penetrate) though embodiment 3~8 AC drive after compared with comparative example 4~7, its orientation azimuth also almost without deviation.This Outward, it is known that containing there is on side chain the polymer of optical polymerism group and carrying out UV irradiation (2 times after liquid crystal cell manufacture Irradiate) embodiment 9 with do not carry out 2 times irradiate comparative example 4 compared with, be orientated azimuthal deviation little.Its reason speculates such as Under: embodiment 3~9 occurs by being radiated at the optical polymerism group of polymerizable compound or polymer on alignment films interface for 2 times Polymerization, by liquid crystal orientation film surface cure, is therefore orientated azimuthal deviation the least.
