Description

Liquid crystal display device
Technical field
This invention relates to the liquid crystal display device that has used polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal in same in-plane switching (IPS) mode.
Background technology
Liquid crystal display device is widely used in the optical information processing field.Liquid-crystal display mode in the past has TN, STN, IPS, VA (MVA), OCB etc., all these modes all become different state of orientation by applying the change in orientation that electric field makes the liquid crystal molecule of being controlled in advance under normal conditions, the polarisation of light direction that sees through and polarization state are changed, and will change the contrast that is transformed into light and shade by polaroid etc. and show.
Liquid-crystal display modes before these all need to be used to control the surface orientation of the orientation of liquid crystal molecule and handle.Mode except VA (MVA) particularly needs friction treatment.Friction treatment be with cloth etc. to be coated on substrate surface that liquid crystal contacts on the operation that rubs of alignment layer surface, it becomes the reason that reduces the high and display quality reduction of the cost that accompanies with yield rate.And above-mentioned all modes so the time of response is short, are about 10 milliseconds because use nematic liquid crystal, are being restricted aspect the animation display of TV.
In recent years, as the liquid crystal of used for liquid crystal display element, developed Chinrally nematic liquid crystal (for example patent documentation 1,2 etc.).Present inventors have developed polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal to replace nematic liquid crystal (patent documentation 3) in the past in order to solve above-mentioned problem.This polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal is to have improved it significantly by polymer to manifest the type material of temperature range under the situation of not losing the high-speed response with blue phase.Because polymer-stabilized indigo plant is optical isotropy not applying under the state of electric field, so do not need the control orientation.Be to be that double refraction is zero, shows in the novel mode that applies the phenomenon that double refraction is brought out under the situation of electric field under zero the situation in order to being used in electric field.Because its time of response is about 100 microseconds, has express response so compare with liquid crystal display device in the past.
On the other hand, for corresponding, developed same in-plane switching (IPS) mode (non-patent literature 1, patent documentation 4 etc.) with the maximization and high-qualityization of liquid crystal panel.This mode is the mode that balanced surface is applied electric field on substrate, and is applicable to the liquid crystal material of this mode in searching always.

Embodiment
Optical modulation component of the present invention is by being constituted by the polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal of a pair of transparency carrier clamping.
As transparency carrier, can use glass, plastics film, optical crystal etc.
Normally 2~100 microns of distances between this a pair of substrate.
The electric field that applies is 1000~100000V/cm normally.Electric field parallel with substrate basically (perhaps vertical with display direction) gets final product.
The applying method of electric field has no particular limits, but the structure of alternatively inserting two electrodes of merodont in a substrate surface is easy.Preferably, with respect to each this merodont electrode, the number of ctenii is about 2~100, and length is about 1~10000 micron, and width is about 1~50 micron, and the distance between the ctenii is about 1~100 micron.
An example of the structure of optical modulation component of the present invention is shown among Fig. 3.
In this structure, to be inserted into two electrodes that have merodont with the mode in the one side alternately, voltage makes and ctenii vertically or with substrate surface applies electric field abreast by they are applied on substrate.Another substrate is the sheet glass that does not have electrode, and across film uniformly-spaced sheet form interlayer.If so, the gap that then has spacing piece thickness forms between substrate, injects liquid crystal material in this gap.
When to two ctenii electrode application voltage facing mutually, then producing with direction of an electric field promptly is the mono-axial refractive index anisotropy of optical axis with ctenii line vertical direction.If standing groove pond between two polaroids in advance, make the polarization axle quadrature (so-called Niccol state) of each polaroid, make direction of an electric field become 45 degree with separately polarization axle, be that transmissivity is zero (because double refraction is zero) under zero the situation then, issue third contact of a total solar or lunar eclipse transmission (because taken place that birefringent groove pond resemble work the wavelength plate) in the situation that applies electric field at electric field.Therefore, can opening-closing and produce bright-dark contrast by voltage.If the delay in groove pond (thickness in=double refraction * groove pond) becomes the transmission light wavelength half, then transmissivity reaches maximum.
Polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal of the present invention is made of low molecular weight liquid crystal and macromolecule network.
The monomer that is used to form macromolecule network can be any of non-liquid crystal liquid crystal property monomer and liquid crystal liquid crystal property monomer, but is that non-liquid crystal liquid crystal property monomer is more effective than liquid crystal liquid crystal property monomer.
Non-liquid crystal liquid crystal property monomer is can be by photopolymerization or thermopolymerization and the polymeric monomer; be meant the do not have bar-shaped molecular structure monomer of (for example xenyl or cyclohexyl biphenyl hexyl etc. have the molecular structure of alkyl, cyano group, fluorine etc. endways); can list the monomer of polymerizable groups such as for example in molecular structure, comprising acryl, methacryloyl, vinyl, epoxy group(ing), fumaric acid ester group, cinnamoyl, but be not limited to these.
As the monomer beyond the non-liquid crystal liquid crystal property monomer, can list and have the bar-shaped or tabular skeleton that comprises phenyl, cyclohexyl etc. and itself have liquid crystal liquid crystal property or by demonstrating the liquid crystal liquid crystal property monomer of mesomorphic phase with other molecular mixing.
And can use monomer with a plurality of polyradicals.
As the preferred example of non-liquid crystal liquid crystal property monomer, be the acrylic ester monomer that comprises acryl or methacryloyl in the molecular structure, particularly preferably be, have the acrylic ester monomer that have branched structure of alkyl as side chain.Alkyl generally is that carbonatoms is 1~4 alkyl, uses the monomer that has at least one side chain that is made of such alkyl with respect to each monomeric unit.Suitable example as acrylic ester monomer can list cyclohexyl acrylate etc., and as having the suitable example of alkyl as the acrylic ester monomer of side chain, can list vinylformic acid 2-ethylhexyl, and vinylformic acid 1,3,3-trimethylammonium is ester etc.
By this monomer is made for polymerization with linking agent, thereby formed macromolecule network.This linking agent can be arbitrary among the compound of liquid crystal liquid crystal property or non-liquid crystal liquid crystal property, uses to have corresponding with employed monomer and can will get final product in conjunction with the compound with the reactive moieties that forms reticulated structure and so between this monomer molecule.For example, use acrylic ester monomer as the time, also can use the diacrylate monomer of liquid crystal liquid crystal property as linking agent according to the monomer of preferred version of the present invention.
On the other hand, low molecular weight liquid crystal is the liquid crystal that can show blue phase between cholesteryl phase (chiral nematic phase) and isotropic phase, preferably the thermotropic liquid crystal that is made of the molecule of slender rod shaped geometry shape also can use the various liquid crystal materials that are used for liquid crystal display device being developed.Such low molecular weight liquid crystal is to comprise biphenyl, terphenyl, cyclohexyl biphenyl hexyl equimolecular structure, because they self have chirality the existence of asymmetric atom, perhaps can show the material of cholesteryl phase (chiral nematic phase) by adding chiral material (chiral dopant).The pitch length that this material is selected from this cholesteryl phase (chiral nematic phase) is the following materials of 500 nanometers.It is multiple that these low molecular weight liquid crystals preferably mix use usually.
Chiral dopant makes liquid crystal produce spirane structure, can list ZLI-4572 and the CB15 (Fig. 1) that uses among the embodiment for example, the derivative (Fig. 2 (a)~(h)) with furfuryl group [3,2-b] furan structure etc.
Usually, chiral dopant is in order to make the spirane structure stabilization of TN pattern, perhaps makes cholesteryl phase or chirality stratose equate that spiral brings out mutually and uses as additive.Under situation of the present invention, preferably short than common pitch length, so preferably add the big chiral dopant of screw twisted power (HTP) with high density.Therefore, preferred HTP has high deliquescent chiral dopant greatly and to liquid crystal.
The blueness of polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal is by monomer and linking agent being dispersed in the low molecular weight liquid crystal, carrying out polyreaction and obtain under the temperature that blueness is kept mutually mutually.
Polymerization can use thermopolymerization and photopolymerisable any to carry out.Under the situation of thermopolymerization, be limited to blue temperature and the equitant scope of polymerization temperature (Heating temperature) that is kept mutually, and the form of macromolecule network also might be owing to heating changes, so preferably undertaken by the photopolymerization of using UV-light.And, when polymerization,, preferably in low molecular weight liquid crystal, except monomer, chiral dopant, linking agent, also be dispersed with polymerization starter in order to accelerate polymerization velocity.As Photoepolymerizationinitiater initiater, can use various initiators such as phenyl methyl ketone class, Benzophenones, benzoin ethers, thioxanthene ketone, specifically, can 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenyl acetophenone etc. be shown example.
To be adjusted to respect to the amount of the chiral dopant of polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal makes the refraction wavelength of this polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal for example can be undertaken by following step outside visibility region (380~750 nanometer).
(1) the polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal of the chiral dopant of appropriate amount has been added in preparation.
(2) use diffraction grating spectrophotometer (the micro-UV, visible light luminosity of for example Japanese beam split corporate system meter MSV-350) to measure diffraction wavelength to this liquid crystal surfactant according to usual method.
(3) decision makes this diffraction wavelength become the amount of the chiral dopant outside the visibility region.
The amount of the chiral dopant of Ce Dinging depends on the HTP (screw twisted power) of chiral dopant thus, along with the kind of chiral dopant and liquid crystal is different and different.For example, be JC1041-XX at liquid crystal, when chiral dopant is ZLI-4572, the amount of ZLI-4572 is about 6~10 moles of %.Similarly, when chiral dopant was CB15, the amount of CB15 was about 85~95 moles of %.
