Description

Polarization light emitting apparatus for light orientation and light orientation polarizing light irradiation method
Technical field
The present invention relates to the irradiation techniques in the polarised light for carrying out light orientation when progress.
Background technology
In recent years, it is obtaining taking by the alignment films of the liquid crystal display element of representative, field angle compensation film of liquid crystal display panel During to layer, the technology for being referred to as light orientation that row orientation is injected by illumination is gradually adopted.It is produced in the following, will be irradiated by light Film, the layer of orientation are referred to as optical alignment film.In addition, " orientation " or " orientation process " refers to that certain properties for object assign Directionality.
Light orientation irradiates polarised light to carry out by the film (hereinafter referred to as membrane material) to optical alignment film.Membrane material is, for example, poly- Resin system as acid imide, the polarised light polarized to desired direction (direction that should be orientated) are irradiated to membrane material.Pass through photograph The polarised light of provision wavelengths is penetrated, the molecular structure (such as side chain) of membrane material, can as the state being aligned to the direction of polarised light Obtain optical alignment film.
Optical alignment film becomes to maximize with the enlargement for the liquid crystal display panel for using the optical alignment film.It is therefore desirable to The width of the irradiation area of polarised light become larger to 1500mm and its more than, significantly wide cut.As to such wider width Irradiation area irradiation polarised light polarized light illumination device, such as have disclosed device in patent document 1.The device has With the rod type light source of the comparable length of width of irradiation area and make the wire grid polarization element of the light polarization from the light source, Polarised light is irradiated to the membrane material being delivered up in the orthogonal side of the length direction relative to light source.Due to needing to shine in light orientation It penetrates from visually to the polarised light of the wavelength of ultraviolet range, so as rod type light source, it is such using high-pressure mercury-vapor lamp in most cases Ultraviolet light source.
Patent document 1:Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2006-126464 bulletins
Patent document 2:No. 4815995 bulletins of Japanese Patent Publication No.
The index of quality as light orientation processing, it is important that the uniformity of light exposure.The uniformity of so-called light exposure, It is not only to refer to accumulated exposure amount in the face of membrane material uniformly, and it is illuminated to refer to that polarised light is uniformly measured with which kind of degree.That is, It needs not irradiating (the hereinafter referred to as no polarization light) not polarized as far as possible, and in the state for only irradiating polarised light, thus Make light exposure uniform.If it is exposed in the state of more no polarization light are partly included, exposure as a whole Amount distribution is uniform, but this is partially in the state for not carried out light orientation fully.That is, light orientation uniformity this On point, quality decline.
Become problem in the viewpoint uniformly irradiated of polarised light is the finiteness of polarizer.Wire grid polarization element Although as that can will be good from the element visually to the light polarization of ultraviolet range, it be difficult to manufacture the element of large-size. Therefore, using the structure of blocking by multiple wire grid polarization element arrangements, to cover irradiation area.
In the case where being arranged multiple wire grid polarization elements, from the boundary part (contact site of end face of each polarizer Point) irradiation no polarization light, it cannot carry out light orientation processing in the location directly below of the boundary part of each polarizer.If Carry out light orientation processing in the state of such non-uniform Illumination Distribution, then in the surface of workpiece (membrane material) pass through it is each partially Shake element boundary part location directly below region in, become the insufficient state of light orientation, the face of light orientation processing Interior uniformity declines.
Consider this problem, in patent document 1, barn door be set so that the boundary part of each polarizer to be blocked, So that light is not projected from boundary part.By the way that barn door is configured, exposed in the region across the location directly below of barn door Amount declines, but the considerations of be preferable compared with the light of no polarization is more irradiated and light orientation partly becomes inadequate.It hides The illumination decline of polarised light at the location directly below of tabula rasa can make the output of light source become larger and become illumination on the whole Height makes irradiation distance elongated and mitigates illumination decline.In addition, in the following description, so-called illumination, light exposure refer to about Illumination, the light exposure of polarised light.
In addition, in order to eliminate the problem of illumination at the location directly below of barn door declines, patent document 2 discloses one The light illuminator being made of light source and polarizer unit is arranged the construction of two by kind on the conveying direction of workpiece.At this In construction so that the boundary line of each wire grid polarization element of polarizer unit in two light illuminators not on the same line Arrangement, becomes the configuration being staggered on the vertical direction of the conveying direction relative to workpiece.If between two light illuminators Additional workpiece simultaneously irradiates polarised light, even then passing through the location directly below of boundary line in a light illuminator (that is, shading The location directly below of plate) workpiece surface region, also due to not passing through boundary line in another light illuminator just The position of lower section, so exposure quantitative change is uniform on the whole.
By the technology of these patent documents 1 and patent document 2, uniform polarised light can be also carried out in a way Irradiation, but in more demanding productivity or in the case of requiring higher uniformity, there is the aspect that cannot fully cope with.
On the other hand, in the technology of such light orientation, in addition to the object (workpiece) of polarizing light irradiation is that membrane material connects Other than the situation for continuing the structure (hereinafter referred to as machining long workpieces) of connected length, also membrane material has been located on substrate, with membrane material Substrate is the situation of workpiece.In such plate-like piece in the case of workpiece, have a various change as transport system, degree of freedom compared with Greatly.Therefore, it is possible to think through well-designed transport system, it is possible to can be by the illumination caused by the use of above-mentioned barn door It is unevenly distributed to homogenize and compensates and realize the higher light orientation processing of uniformity.

In control unit 7, the sequence for each portion including each driving source of transport system 2 is optimally controlled is installed Program.Sequential programme sends control signal according to the signal from sensor to each portion, makes transport system 2 as shown in Figure 6 Action.
In above-mentioned transport system 2, from the viewpoint of the light exposure homogenization in the face of substrate S, to second direction Displacement distance (uses d in the figure 7mRepresent) it is optimised.Hereinafter, this point is illustrated using Fig. 7.Fig. 7 is to represent embodiment party The plane skeleton diagram of the displacement distance to second direction of the device of formula.
The movement of the platform 5 to second direction is also carried out other than first direction, is in order to avoid by above-mentioned boundary line 40 Location directly below at illumination decline caused by the unevenness of light exposure the problem of homogenizing.As described above, in embodiment Device in, transport system 2 makes platform 5 move back and forth in a first direction.At this point, platform 5 is not by identical path return, and It is to conjugate in the horizontal slightly, is returned by different paths.
Into road and circuit, when substrate S passes through irradiation area R, if identical path, Ze Wang is passed through in road Position on the substrate S of the underface of boundary line 40 similarly passes through the location directly below of boundary line 40 in the loop. In the conveying of such substrate S, the unevenness of light exposure is homogenized and will not be eliminated as caused by declining the illumination of locality.
On the other hand, if substrate S is returned by different paths, after passing through the position that illumination declines in Ze Wang roads Position on substrate S passes through the position at the position for not being illumination decline and returns in the loop, so being exposed for as a whole Amount becomes uniform.
But in this embodiment, in the boundary line 40 that multiple polarizers 41 are formed, there are multiple (polarizers 41 It it is three or more).Thus, if displacement distance dmWith the d of boundary line 40aDistance (or daIntegral multiple distance) unanimously, then The position that region on the substrate S that the relatively low position of illumination is had passed through into road also passes through illumination relatively low in the loop, it is impossible to Realize the homogenization of light exposure.Thus, to the displacement distance d of second directionmAs long as respectively polarization is first from polarizer unit 4 Leave distance (hereinafter, distance between boundary line 40) d in the boundary line 40 that part 41 is formedaIntegral multiple deviation can (dm≠n· da, n is integer).From the viewpoint of productive temp time shortens, displacement distance dmShorter is preferred.Thus, displacement distance dm In dm<daIn the range of suitably determined.
In addition, displacement distance dmFrom distance d between boundary line 40aDeviateed with which kind of degree, depending on each boundary line 40 just under How is the situation that illumination in the region of side declines.It outlined the displacement distance d to second direction in the figure 7m, each boundary Distance d between line 40aAnd the Illumination Distribution in the region of the underface of boundary line 40.Shown herein as Illumination Distribution be by Illumination Distribution on the straight line of the second direction of the location directly below of boundary line 40 in irradiation area R.
As shown in Fig. 7 (1), the such narrow area of location directly below of boundary line 40 is limited in the decline of Illumination Distribution In the case of domain, displacement distance dmIt is just sufficient more than the distance slightly of the unilateral width w in the region that illumination decline has occurred It is enough.
On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 7 (2), in the width w that the region of illumination decline has occurred wider situations to a certain degree Under, by displacement distance dmIt is set as being more than width w, but width w does not exceed distance d between each boundary line 40a1/2.Thus, Displacement distance dmAs long as it is set as distance d between each boundary line 40a1/2.That is, if set to dm=da/ 2, no matter then wide How degree w can realize uniform light exposure.But it is smaller in width w, d can also be set asm<da/ 2, it can be with Make to become smaller to the displacement distance of second direction and shorten productive temp time.
In addition, following the example of about width w, is optimized according to the relationship of the light exposure uniformity with needs.Such as such as Fruit light exposure uniformity is ± 5, then width w is set as declining from maximal illumination to the unilateral width in more than 10% region.
No matter how, all by displacement distance dmIt inputs to control unit 7, is recorded in storage part as controlling value in advance.And And the second driving source 623 is sent as actuating quantity.
Hereinafter, to the whole action of the polarization light emitting apparatus for light orientation of the embodiment in relation to above structure into Row explanation.The following description is also the explanation of the embodiment of the invention of light orientation polarizing light irradiation method.
Control unit 7 lights light source 3.Light from light source 3 by each polarizer 41 by, as polarised light, irradiating To irradiation area R.Transport system 2 makes bottom plate 21 and platform 5 positioned at the substrate loading position as holding fix.
To batch feed mechanism as AGV (Auto Guided Vehicle) or pneumatic be passed through by the substrate S of light orientation Sheet conveying mechanism is transported to polarized light illumination device as conveyer.Also, not shown robot is by a plate base S It is placed on platform 5.Substrate S is placed on each retaining pin 51, by vacuum suction in each retaining pin 51.
If receiving the substrate from robot carries the signal completed, control unit 7 is sent to transport system 2 to be believed Number, it is made to carry out above-mentioned a series of conveying action.Platform 5 is reciprocaled while irradiation area R is passed through as a result, across when, partially Illumination of shaking is incident upon the substrate S on platform 5.Also, conjugating displacement distance d in the loopmPath in move, the face of substrate S Interior each point is uniformly exposed.
If bottom plate 21 reaches substrate recovery position, control unit 7 sends to robot and believes after vacuum suction is closed Number, it is made to recycle substrate S from platform 5.In addition, in this embodiment, the displacement distance in circuit is identical with the displacement distance toward road, Thus substrate recovery position has conjugated the amount of the displacement distance d of second direction from substrate loading position.Robot is taught in advance, Substrate S to be recycled in the substrate recovery position.
According to the polarized light illumination device in relation to structure described above and the embodiment of action or polarizing light irradiation side Method, transport system 2 makes substrate S be moved back and forth while irradiation area R is passed through, after the conveying toward road, in circuit Substrate S is made to move in a second direction before conveying, the path so as to which the path in circuit be made to become different from past road, shifting at this time Dynamic distance dmDeviate from distance d between the boundary line 40 of each polarizer 41a, so the boundary line 40 of each polarizer 41 just under The illumination decline of the position of side is compensated, and the exposure quantitative change in the face of substrate S is uniform.
Then, the device and method of second embodiment is illustrated.
Fig. 8 is the perspective sketch of the polarization light emitting apparatus for light orientation in relation to second embodiment.Shown in Fig. 8 The device of two embodiments has two light illuminators 1.What the construction of each light illuminator 1 and the device of first embodiment had It constructs substantially same.
As shown in figure 8, the length direction of the illumination region of the light source 3 of two light illuminators 1 is vertical relative to first direction Horizontal direction.Also, the configuration of each polarizer 41 of polarizer unit 4 mutually staggers in two light illuminators 1.To this A little illustrated using Fig. 9.Fig. 9 is the plane of the allocation position for each polarizer unit 4 that outlined second embodiment Figure.
As shown in figure 9, in two light illuminators 1, polarizer unit 4 is substantially identical construction, but respectively polarization The allocation position of element 41 is different slightly.That is, each polarizer 41 of a polarizer unit 4 is relative to another polarization member Each polarizer 41 of part unit 4 is in staggered configuration on the length direction of the illumination region of light source (not shown in fig.9).It is staggered Amount is the 1/2 of the width t of each polarizer 41 in this embodiment.
In addition, in order to be set as the position being staggered like this, if the size shape of frame 42 and each polarizer 41, it is each partially Shake element 41 quantity it is identical in two polarizer units 4, the position that will be set as being staggered relative to the installation site of lamp house 32 It puts.
Figure 10 is the plane skeleton diagram of the action of the transport system 2 for the device for representing second embodiment.Implement second In mode, transport system 2 also makes the platform 5 that remain substrate S move in the first direction and a second direction, the movement of first direction It is to move back and forth, in the two toward road and circuit, substrate S passes through irradiation area R, at this time polarizing light irradiation to substrate S.And And the movement of second direction carries out between being moved toward road movement and toward road, into road and circuit, substrate S is not by With path and across irradiation distance.In addition, two light illuminators 1 irradiate polarised light to respective irradiation area R.
Figure 11 is the plane skeleton diagram of the displacement distance to second direction for the device for representing second embodiment.In addition, In fig. 11, in order to refer to, the situation of the movement without second direction is shown also.Figure 11 (1) is situation about not moving, (2) it is mobile situation.
In Figure 11 (1) (2), by the Illumination Distribution I of the first light illuminator 11It represents, by the photograph of the second light illuminator 1 Spend distribution I2It represents.I1And I2With Fig. 7 again it is the straight line of the second direction by the location directly below of each boundary line 40 On Illumination Distribution.In addition, E represents the distribution of the light exposure in the face of the substrate S after reciprocal conveying.
According to the above description, substrate S is sequentially passing through each irradiation area R into road and circuit, receive polarised light Irradiation.Thus, light exposure E is the amount for adding up to light exposure when passing through of each irradiation area R.In the case, in platform 5 Not in the case where second direction moves (in identical path reciprocal in the case of), also due to the configuration of each polarizer 41 It is staggered, so as shown in Fig. 7 (1), light exposure E is uniform to a certain extent.
The device of second embodiment, will be to the displacement distance d of second direction in order to which light exposure is made evenly to changemIt is set as It is optimal.As shown in Fig. 7 (1), in the distribution without the light exposure E in the case of to the movement of second direction, exposure measures The position of minimum is to have passed through the boundary line 40 of the polarizer unit 4 of some in two polarizer units 4 just The position of lower section.In this second embodiment, due to two polarizer units 4 be staggered a polarizer 41 width one Half (t/2) and be configured, so the interval at the position of minimalization is also t/2.The position of minimalization is to have passed through some polarization The position of the underface of the boundary line 40 of cell 4, so could also say that each boundary wire spacing daFor t/2.
Thus, in order to make light exposure evenly from the state shown in Fig. 7 (1), due to boundary wire spacing da=t/2, institute With displacement distance dmAs long as not with t/2 (or its integral multiple) unanimously.
Also, the unilateral width w in the region that light exposure declines is with situation shown in Fig. 7 inherently likewise, not Can be more than distance d between boundary line 40a1/2.Thus, it is similary with the situation of first embodiment, if set to displacement distance dm= da/ 2=t/4 (or its natural several times) is then optimal.
In the case of second embodiment, illumination is also declined to the width w of the unilateral side in region light exposures as needed The degree of uniformity selects, in widthwIn the case of relatively narrow, also have displacement distance dmIt is set as the feelings of the distance shorter than t/4 Condition.
Then, the device and method of third embodiment is illustrated.Figure 12 is to represent that the light of third embodiment takes To the plane skeleton diagram with polarized light illumination device and method.
The conveying by transport system 2 of the device of third embodiment is different from first, second embodiment. First, in second embodiment, the conveying of the substrate S of first direction is to move back and forth, the conveying toward road and the conveying in circuit it Between carry out the conveying of second direction, but in the third embodiment, by the conveying of first direction and the conveying of second direction simultaneously It carries out.That is, control unit 7 sends signal to the first driving source 613 and the second driving source 623, drive the first driving source 613 and second Dynamic source 623 acts simultaneously.But the action of the second driving source 623 does not need to always move in the action of the first driving source 613 Make, as long as only being acted during substrate S passes through irradiation area R.
In fig. 12, represent that the inner evenness of light quantity in the third embodiment becomes higher preferred substrate S's Conveying.As shown in Figure 12 (1), it is preferred that in substrate S in a first direction by conveying and the side of leading edge arrival irradiation area R The conveying of second direction starts at the time of edge, and second direction is defeated at the time of the rear of substrate S passes completely through irradiation area R Send end.In Figure 12 (1), single dotted broken line represents the up-front certain point P of substrate S1Gui Trace, double dot dash line represent rear Certain point P2Gui Trace.
Other than the situation shown in Figure 12 (1), as shown in Figure 12 (2) or to second direction movement across packet Include situation about being carried out across the front and rear time-bands of the time-bands of irradiation area R.And then as shown in Figure 12 (3), to second direction Movement may not be straight line, but zigzag.
Shown in Figure 12 in any case, to the displacement distance d of second directionmIt is all identical with the above embodiment.Separately Outside, in any embodiment, it is required for displacement distance dmIt is not consistent with the integral multiple of boundary wire spacing a, but in addition to this, The movement to second direction must also be avoided passing through, even if a substrate S parts are detached from from irradiation area R.
In the third embodiment, the conveying of substrate S can be made for only toward road.In the case, in irradiation area R Side substrate S is mounted on platform 5, substrate S is recycled from platform 5 in opposite side.If set to it is only then given birth to toward the conveying on road Production pitch time shortens, so being preferred on this point in productivity.
But in the third embodiment, reciprocal conveying can also be carried out and polarised light is irradiated to substrate S.In this feelings Under condition, preferably toward road and circuit pass through irradiation area R during be also carried out at the same time the conveying of second direction.
If in addition, to irradiate polarised light to substrate S by reciprocal conveying, exposed compared with only toward the situation on road Amount becomes 2 times (situations for not changing conveying speed).Thus, it is in the case of the light orientation processing for needing more light exposure Appropriate.If making substrate S reciprocal transportations, the carrying and recycling of substrate S can be carried out in the side of irradiation area R, so Make the simple structure on device and its periphery.Productive temp time is elongated with circuit a considerable amount, but by improving conveying speed, Productive temp time can be shortened.
In the respective embodiments described above, the movement from the workpiece holding body that transport system 2 carries out to second direction can make The position of the boundary line 40 of each polarizer 41 from substrate S relatively conjugates in a second direction when light irradiates. Since the position of the boundary line 40 when light irradiates relatively conjugates, the area of illumination decline caused by the influence of boundary line 40 Domain conjugates in the face of substrate S, is achieved in the homogenization of light exposure.
In addition, in various embodiments, the conveying of the substrate S of first direction is the length direction with the illumination region of light source 3 Vertical direction, but it's not limited to that.The conveying of first direction is the conveying for substrate S is made to pass through irradiation area R, as long as Intersect with the length direction of the illumination region of light source 3.Even if on one side by substrate S the illumination region relative to light source 3 length The degree inclined side in direction is delivered up irradiating polarised light on one side, also can compensate for the presence of the boundary line 40 because of each polarizer 41 Caused by the unevenness of light exposure homogenize, can uniformly be exposed.In the case, also if importing the movement of second direction Then light exposure becomes evenly.
In addition, second direction is the side with the boundary line 40 of each polarizer 41 in the respective embodiments described above and embodiment To vertical direction, but it's not limited to that.Although it is equal to obtain light exposure along the direction conveying substrate S of boundary line 40 Homogenized effect but if being the direction intersected with the direction of boundary line 40, then can obtain effect.
In addition, in each embodiment and embodiment, platform 5 is adopted as the example of the component that substrate S is kept in conveying , the component other than platform 5 can also be used.
In addition, as transport system 2, other than making the system of above-mentioned ball-screw rotation with driving source, also there is use Such as in the situation for speciallyying permit such conveying mechanism (linear motor platform) using magnetic disclosed in No. 4581641 bulletin.The machine Structure is platform 5 of the configuration equipped with magnetic pole on the platen for the salient pole for being arranged with magnetic substance with chessboard trellis on an upper, is passed through on one side Air injection etc. make platform 5 float slightly from platen one side console 5 magnetic pole polarity, so as to make platform 5 move mechanism.It is adopting In the case of with the mechanism, guide table 5 preferably is set in both sides also for the precision for the conveying direction for keeping substrate S Movement linear guide portion.
Alternatively, it is also possible to and with utilize the conveying mechanism of magnetic and as described above using ball-screw and driving source Conveying mechanism.Such as, it may be considered that the conveying mechanism (linear motor platform) using magnetic is used in conveying in a first direction, the The conveying mechanism using ball-screw and driving source is used in the conveying in two directions.
In addition, in first, second embodiment, substrate recovery position is in second direction relative to substrate loading position On conjugated displacement distance dmPosition, but substrate S can also be recycled in the position identical with substrate loading position.In this feelings It is additional to make bottom plate 21 in the loop and platform 5 is moved with toward after the identical distance in road, it being made to move backward in a second direction under condition Displacement distance dmAction.
Although productive temp time is elongated slightly, since robot always carries out the carrying of substrate S in identical position And recycling, it is simplified so realizing in this regard.
In addition, as long as the structure that workpiece is one by one cut off, kept by workpiece holding body, may not be plate.Institute Meaning is by the meaning except band-like continuous structure and the structure that is conveyed by roll-to-roll (Roll-to-Roll) " by cutting off " Think.
In addition, the present invention is in the sense that the illumination of compensating polarizing light declines, additionally it is possible to be applied to polarizer unit The boundary part of multiple polarizers is not provided with the construction of barn door.
[embodiment]
Then, it is uniform to expose quantitative change by importing the conveying of from the substrate S to second direction as described above for confirming It is experiment as a result, being illustrated as embodiment.Figure 13 is the conveying for representing to be identified through importing the substrate S to second direction And the figure of result that accumulated exposure quantitative change is uniformly tested.
In this experiment, the width of irradiation area R observed in a second direction is 1500mm, and light source 3 is high-pressure mercury Lamp, the average illumination in irradiation area R is about 130mW/cm2
The width t of each polarizer 41 is 150mm, thus boundary wire spacing is 150mm.In Figure 13 (1), represent not Carry out the movement to second direction, when carrying out polarizing light irradiation into road and circuit with identical path conveying substrate S Exposure distribution, represent in (2) after the conveying toward road, move it about distance 75mm in a second direction after carry out circuit Conveying when exposure distribution become exposure distribution evenly.Exposure distribution is with Fig. 7 or Figure 11 again it is second party Upward distribution.
As shown in Figure 13 (1), in the case of without the movement to second direction, observe that periodically light exposure is big The position that width declines.The position that light exposure becomes minimum is the position of the underface for the boundary line 40 for having passed through each polarizer 41 The position put.In this embodiment, minimum value is 7.4% or so (± 14.8% uniformity) relative to maximum value.
On the other hand, in the embodiment for having imported the movement of second direction of about 80mm, as shown in Figure 13 (2), uniformly Property greatly improves.In this embodiment, minimum value is 85% or so (± 7.5% uniformity) relative to maximum value.In this way it is found that By suitably importing the movement of second direction, the uniformity of light exposure greatly improves.
