High molecule liquid crystal orientation polymkeric substance and make the method for liquid crystal indicator with it
Technical field
The method that the present invention relates to a kind of LCD alignment polymkeric substance and make liquid crystal indicator relates in particular to a kind of method that is applied to the high molecule liquid crystal orientation polymkeric substance of liquid-crystal display and uses this high molecule liquid crystal orientation polymkeric substance manufacturing liquid crystal indicator.
Background technology
The LCD alignment technology is the gordian technique that determines a shown image quality of liquid crystal indicator.Have the interior liquid crystal material of display panels only and have stable and uniform initial arrangement, just can present high-quality picture.Have the thin layer that is used for inducing the arrangement of liquid crystal molecular orientation in the general liquid crystal indicator, be called liquid crystal alignment layer (alignment layers).
On industrial processes, it is evenly distributed often to utilize friction method (rubbing method) that liquid crystal molecule is able to, earlier with liquid crystal alignment layer through the mechanicalness friction, as the TWEED that evenly moves etc., make little groove that generation is arranged in parallel on the liquid crystal orienting film, can reach the orientation of liquid crystal molecule.The liquid crystal alignment layer material that is used in liquid crystal indicator at present includes polystyrene, polyimide, polyvinyl alcohol, polyester, Resins, epoxy, polyurethane, polysilane etc.Wherein, the most common and that generally be used is polyimide (polyimide).Because the molecule of polyimide is because of having imide (imide), make high polymer main chain have very high rigidity (rigidity) and very strong Intermolecular Forces, and possess extremely excellent uniformity and weather resistance, therefore look good with the use of friction method operation.Use the processing of mechanicalness friction method has with low cost, operation stable, the orientation uniformity coefficient is good and control advantage such as tilt angle easily, be widely used in the manufacturing of liquid crystal panel.
Tradition is made the process of liquid crystal indicator, needing earlier the substrate on the liquid crystal indicator to be carried out LCD alignment handles, after respectively two substrates being cleaned, carry out again the surface of this substrate is handled with liquid crystal alignment layer material, finish the LCD alignment operation with the friction method at last.Substrate after handling through LCD alignment could be organized operations such as upright, cutting, liquid crystal injection again.That is to say to have the orientation ability, need just to be used through complicated formality method earlier, in the reasonable time of expending and tooling cost for making the substrate on the liquid crystal indicator.In addition, when rubbing method treatment solution crystal alignment, can produce static and micronic dust, and destroy thin type transistor or pollute etc., and reduce the quality of liquid crystal indicator.
Developed a kind of multiple vertical alignment liquid crystal display device (Multi-domain Vertically Aligned Liquid Crystal Display at present, MVA-LCD), for having to bear, utilization lure the both alignment layers of electric anisotropy type liquid crystal and vertical direction to make up mutually to reach the effect of vertical orientation.This kind liquid crystal indicator has excellent contrast gradient and wide viewing angle, and its both alignment layers can carry out the processing of aforementioned friction method, and is more simple at manufacture view, extensively accepted by industry.Yet this liquid crystal indicator still need dispose the both alignment layers of kinds such as polyimide, and the complicated degree in manufacturing process can't reduce, the polyimide of high price made the cost of making this type of liquid crystal indicator effectively to reduce.
