Technical Field
The application relates to the field of display, in particular to a liquid crystal display panel and a preparation method thereof.
Background
High refresh rate and fast response time, which require lower cell thickness, i.e., lower support post height, have become core requirements for competitive displays. The height of the common main supporting column is generally 2.2 um-2.8 um, and the height of the supporting column of the display meeting the requirements of high refresh frequency and quick response time is 1.2 um-1.6 um.

In one embodiment, the step of preparing a photoresist layer on the second substrate comprises:

In order to prevent the solvent bumping in the subsequent pre-drying process and the defects caused by the flowing of photoresist in the carrying process, a low-pressure drying process is generally carried out immediately after the coating is finished, and partial solvent is evaporated by utilizing the principle that the melting point of liquid is reduced under low pressure; after the substrate is dried at low pressure, the substrate is transferred to a heat engine table for pre-drying, wherein the pre-drying temperature is generally 100-150 ℃, so that the solvent in the photoresist is further evaporated, and meanwhile, the photoresist is solidified and hardened, and the adhesion force between the photoresist and the substrate is enhanced.
In one embodiment, the step of exposing and developing the photoresist layer using a halftone mask to obtain the support pillars comprises:
first, the photoresist layer is irradiated with ultraviolet light through a halftone mask.
In one embodiment, the photoresist layer is exposed using a halftone mask as shown in FIG. 3. The halftone mask provided by the present embodiment includes a transparent substrate 310 and a light-transmitting film attached to the transparent substrate 310, wherein the light-transmitting film includes a first light-transmitting film 321 in the light-shielding region 301, a second light-transmitting film 322 in the first light-transmitting region 302, and a third light-transmitting film 323 in the second light-transmitting region 303. The transparent substrate 310 is a colorless and transparent substrate, and the light transmittance of the transparent substrate is 100%. The first light-transmitting film 321 is a completely opaque light-shielding film, the light transmittance of the first light-shielding film 321 is 0, the second light-transmitting film 322 is a partially light-transmitting semi-permeable film, the light transmittance of the second light-transmitting film 322 is 60-75%, the third light-transmitting film 323 is also a partially light-transmitting semi-permeable film, and the light transmittance of the third light-transmitting film 323 is 15-20%.
When the ultraviolet light irradiates the first light shielding film 321, all the ultraviolet light is blocked by the first light shielding film 321, no light passes through the halftone mask, and no ultraviolet light reaches the photoresist layer corresponding to the light shielding region 301, so that the photoresist layer corresponding to the light shielding region 301 is not exposed to the ultraviolet light. When the ultraviolet light irradiates the second light shielding film 322, 35-40% of the ultraviolet light is blocked by the second light shielding film 322 and cannot pass through the halftone mask, and the remaining 60-75% of the ultraviolet light passes through the halftone mask and reaches the photoresist layer corresponding to the first light transmission region 302, so that the photoresist layer corresponding to the first light transmission region 302 is exposed by the ultraviolet light. When the ultraviolet light irradiates on the third light shielding film 323, 80-85% of the ultraviolet light is blocked by the third light shielding film 323 and cannot pass through the halftone mask, and the remaining 15-20% of the ultraviolet light passes through the halftone mask and reaches the photoresist layer corresponding to the second light transmission region 303, so that the photoresist layer corresponding to the second light transmission region 303 is exposed by the ultraviolet light. And the exposure of the photoresist layer corresponding to the second transparent region 303 is less than the exposure of the photoresist layer corresponding to the first transparent region 302.
In another embodiment, the photoresist layer is exposed using a halftone mask as shown in FIG. 4. The halftone mask provided by the present embodiment includes a real part 410, a first grating part 420, and a second grating part 430. The halftone mask is made of opaque material. Wherein, the real part 410 is a mask part with the front surface filled with light-tight material, the real part corresponds to the light-shielding region 301, and the light transmittance of the real part 410 is 0; the first grating part 420 is a mask part provided with a first density grating, the first grating part 420 corresponds to the first light-transmitting area 302, and the light transmittance of the first grating part 420 is 60-75%; the second grating portion 430 is a mask portion provided with a second density grating, the second grating portion 430 corresponds to the second light-transmitting area 303, and the light transmittance of the second grating portion 430 is 15-20%. The second density is greater than the first density.
When the ultraviolet light irradiates the real part 410, all the ultraviolet light is blocked by the real part 410, no light passes through the halftone mask, and no ultraviolet light reaches the photoresist layer corresponding to the light-shielding region 301, so that the photoresist layer corresponding to the light-shielding region 301 is not exposed by the ultraviolet light. When the ultraviolet light irradiates the first grating part 420, due to diffraction of the gratings, 35-40% of the ultraviolet light is blocked by the gratings and cannot pass through the halftone mask, and the remaining 60-75% of the ultraviolet light passes through the halftone mask through the hollow areas between the gratings and reaches the photoresist layer corresponding to the first light-transmitting area 302, so that the photoresist layer corresponding to the first light-transmitting area 302 is exposed by the ultraviolet light. When the ultraviolet light irradiates on the second grating part 430, due to diffraction of the gratings, 80-85% of the ultraviolet light is blocked by the gratings and cannot pass through the halftone mask, and the remaining 15-20% of the ultraviolet light passes through the halftone mask through the hollow areas between the gratings and reaches the photoresist layer corresponding to the second light-transmitting area 303, so that the photoresist layer corresponding to the second light-transmitting area 303 is exposed by the ultraviolet light. And the exposure of the photoresist layer corresponding to the second transparent region 303 is less than the exposure of the photoresist layer corresponding to the first transparent region 302.
And then, developing the photoresist layer by using a developing solution to obtain the support pillar.
The negative photoresist mainly comprises a solvent, a pigment, a dispersing agent, a monomer, a polymer and a photoinitiator, and has the characteristic of light retention. When the negative photoresist receives the irradiation of ultraviolet light, a chemical reaction is carried out, a photoinitiator in the negative photoresist is decomposed to generate free radicals, double bonds of monomers and polymers are promoted to be opened, and a cross-linking and bridging reaction is carried out to form a network, so that a film structure which is not easy to dissolve in alkaline developing solution is generated; the negative photoresist which does not receive the ultraviolet irradiation is easy to react and dissolve with the alkaline developing solution because the polymer resin contains carboxyl acid groups and does not generate the cross-linking and bridging reaction. Therefore, the unexposed part of the negative photoresist layer can react with the developing solution quickly to be dissolved when encountering the alkaline developing solution, and the exposed part of the negative photoresist layer forms a network structure due to the cross-linking and bridging reaction and is not dissolved but retained when encountering the alkaline developing solution.
The photoresist layer is developed by using an alkaline developing solution, and the photoresist layer corresponding to the shading area 301 is very easy to be dissolved by the alkaline developing solution because the photoresist layer is not irradiated by ultraviolet light; because the photoresist layer corresponding to the first light-transmitting area 302 is irradiated by 60-75% of ultraviolet light, part of the negative photoresist is exposed, the negative photoresist irradiated by the ultraviolet light is not dissolved by the alkaline developer to be reserved, and the negative photoresist not irradiated by the ultraviolet light is dissolved and removed by the alkaline developer to finally obtain the main support column with the height of 1.2-1.6 um; because the photoresist layer corresponding to the second light-transmitting area 303 is irradiated by 15-20% of ultraviolet light, part of the negative photoresist is exposed, the negative photoresist irradiated by the ultraviolet light is not dissolved by the alkaline developer to be reserved, and the negative photoresist not irradiated by the ultraviolet light is dissolved and removed by the alkaline developer to finally obtain the auxiliary supporting column with the height of 0.8-1.2 um.
Commonly used alkaline developers include strong base systems typified by KOH (K is an alkali metal) and weak base systems typified by a bicarbonate salt.
According to the above embodiments:
the embodiment of the invention provides a liquid crystal display panel and a preparation method thereof, wherein the liquid crystal display panel comprises: a first substrate; the second substrate is arranged in a closing mode with the first substrate, one side, close to the first substrate, of the second substrate is provided with a supporting column, the supporting column comprises a main supporting column and an auxiliary supporting column, the height of the main supporting column is 1.2-1.6 microns, and the height of the auxiliary supporting column is 0.8-1.2 microns; and the liquid crystal is filled between the first substrate and the second substrate. The height requirement of the support column of the display with high refresh frequency and quick response time is met, the liquid crystal box thickness requirement of the display with high refresh frequency and quick response time is further met, and the problem that the support column of the display with high refresh frequency and quick response time is difficult to prepare in the prior art is solved; in addition, the preparation method of the liquid crystal display panel provided by the embodiment of the invention avoids the problems of influence on the stability and quality of the photoresist layer caused by bubbles in the film layer, uneven film layer, strip-shaped stripes and the like due to too small thickness of the photoresist layer, can realize mass production, and is beneficial to the production and practical application of the liquid crystal display panel.
