Description

Aligning agent for liquid crystal, liquid crystal orientation film and liquid crystal indicate element
Technical field
It is taken the present invention relates to the high aligning agent for liquid crystal of dimensional stability when being suitable for ink-jet membrane formation process and being coated with, by the liquid crystal The liquid crystal orientation film obtained to agent and the liquid crystal for having the liquid crystal orientation film indicate element.
Background technique
As liquid crystal orientation film, coating is widely used with polyamic acid (also referred to as polyamic acid.) etc. polyimide precursors, The solution of soluble polyimide is that the liquid crystal of so-called polyimides system obtained from the aligning agent for liquid crystal of principal component and firing takes To film.
It is commonly known to have spin coating, dip-coating, flexible printing etc. as the membrane formation process of above-mentioned liquid crystal orientation film.In practical, greatly Use flexible printing more.But flexible printing has following problem: being needed various according to the kind of liquid crystal display panel difference Resin plate;Version replacement is complicated in manufacturing process;It must form a film on analog baseplate, the system of version to keep film formation process stable It is made for the problems such as liquid crystal indicates the reason that the manufacturing cost of panel rises.
Therefore, the membrane formation process as the liquid crystal orientation film without using galley, ink-jet method attract attention.Ink-jet method is in base Fine drop is added dropwise on plate, the method to form a film by the wetting and spreading of liquid.Galley is not used not only, but also can be certainly By the pattern of ground setting printing, therefore the manufacturing process of liquid crystal expression element can be simplified.In addition, it is not necessary that in flexible printing It is required to form a film on analog baseplate, to have the advantages that the waste of coating fluid is few.By ink-jet method, liquid crystal display panel can be expected Cost reduce, production efficiency improve.
By ink-jet method formed liquid crystal orientation film require coated face inside film thickness unevenness it is small and be coated with peripheral portion at Film precision is high.For the liquid crystal orientation film to be formed a film by ink-jet method, the uniformity and coating of the film thickness in coated face There is the relationship of compromise in the film-forming accuracy of peripheral portion.That is, in general, the size of the coating peripheral portion of the high material of inner evenness is steady Qualitative low, film can be from being sized protrusion.On the other hand, the coating inner evenness that coating peripheral portion becomes the material of straight line becomes It is low.
In order to improve the film-forming accuracy of above-mentioned coating peripheral portion, proposes and alignment films are limited in rule using special structure Determine the method (referring to patent document 1~3) in range.But these methods have the difficulty for needing special structure.

Are measured by viscosity, is shown in table 2 after being filtered with 1 μm of the filter in aperture for Examples 1 to 4 and the Comparative Examples 1 to 5. Then, implement coating evaluation below.
[ink-jet application evaluation]
For the Examples 1 to 4 and the Comparative Examples 1 to 5 of above-mentioned preparation, using ink-jet coating apparatus (ISHIIHYOKI CO., LTD. make) it is applied in TFT substrate.In 127 μm of injector spacing, coating speed 250mm/ seconds, sendout 70pL, spreading area 36 It is carried out under the application conditions of × 36mm.In addition, coating is with the coating of following condition: carrying out predrying in 1 minute on 110 DEG C of hot plate Afterwards, when using IR baking oven to be burnt under conditions of 15 minutes at 230 DEG C, the thickness of film becomes 120nm.
[evaluation method of film]
For by coated substrate at 110 DEG C film obtained from predrying, compare the shadow because of contact hole or wiring The uneven degree for ringing the point or striated that generate, is evaluated with 4 grades below.
It can be set as Lv4 when visual confirmation significantly unevenness in whole face, part can be set as Lv3, mesh when visual confirmation unevenness It being set as Lv2 when depending on can't see unevenness, being set as Lv1 when also absolutely not uneven under an optical microscope.
In addition, be also coated on the glass substrate that surface is vapor-deposited with chromium, for film end there are tone variations The width of the part of (film thickness is uneven) is evaluated with vernier caliper measurement length as Halo size.It should be noted that recognizing Value for Halo size is smaller, good film.
In turn, actual measurement paint film width is steady as size using the difference of measured value and setting value for setting dispensing area It is qualitative to evaluate.It should be noted that in the evaluation, it is believed that value is smaller, good film.
These results are shown in table 1,2.
