Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize orientation of liquid crystal molecules in a specified direction by forming electret films or ferroelectric films on the surfaces of electrodes which sandwich a liquid crystal. CONSTITUTION:The ITO (indium tin oxide) electrodes 2 are formed by a vapor deposition method, etc., to an X-Y matrix shape on the surface of glass substrates 1 and are then patterned by photoetching. The electret films 3 are formed on the surfaces of such ITO electrodes by a sputtering method in the case of an inorg. ferroelectric material such as barium titanate, etc., or by a coating method, etc., in the case of forming the films consisting of the high- polymer electret and high-polymer dielectrics as represented by carnauba wax and polyvinylidene fluoride. The liquid crystal molecules 4 are thereby cleanly arranged by the good interaction with the electret films 3 and the clean image having no defects is displayed. The formation of the display body to the larger image plane is easy as well.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an electrode surface treatment film of a liquid crystal display [Prior Art] When a voltage (electric field) is applied from the outside, the orientation of the molecules of liquid crystals changes and light is emitted. It may or may not pass. Taking advantage of this property, liquid crystals are sandwiched between electrode plates and polarizing plates and used as display panels in calculators and other devices.

In the conventional technology, liquid crystal molecules are sandwiched between 'd! By making the gap between the polar substrates extremely thin, the molecules were aligned in a fixed direction. When the gap was made thicker, the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules became disorganized, making it impossible to display a clear image, which was a major obstacle to making the screen larger. The liquid crystal used in small LCD TVs is called nematic liquid crystal, and as the size increases, changes in molecular arrangement cannot keep up with changes in voltage, so its uses are limited.
