Description

Multi-angle simultaneous alignment device and method for liquid crystal panel
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of liquid crystal panel manufacturing processes, in particular to a multi-angle simultaneous alignment device and method for a liquid crystal panel.
Background
After long-term development and the technology of liquid crystal display panel manufacturing, the requirements of consumers on display quality are higher and higher, and small-batch and customized display becomes a trend, and how to reduce the operation cost as much as possible on the basis of meeting the requirements of customers is a key of competition of panel manufacturers.
The existing liquid crystal panel production process comprises the following steps: TFT & CF substrate → PI Coating → RUB orientation/photo-orientation → Seal Coating → LC filling → VAS laminating → Cut → Module. The liquid crystal alignment process is an irreplaceable key process in the liquid crystal panel manufacturing process, and in the alignment process development process, because the conventional RUB alignment process has the defects of Mura, scratch and the like and the production preparation process is complicated, the operation cost is high, so that the photo-alignment process gradually replaces the conventional rubbing process with the advantages of high contrast, high image quality, no yield defect, simple production preparation process and the like.
The principle of the photo-alignment process is that the polarized ultraviolet light acts on the surface of the TFT & CF substrate coated with the alignment film, so that the structure of the alignment film is changed and the alignment film has the liquid crystal alignment capability. In the current industry, a light orientation device structure is used, in which light emitted by a light source is filtered by a Filter and then applied to the surface of a product through a polarization wire grid (fig. 1).
The liquid crystal alignment direction depends on the polarization direction of the polarization wire grid, but the polarization wire grid is singly and fixedly installed, and if the alignment in different directions needs to be realized, the alignment is realized by rotating the angle of the Glass substrate (shown in figure 2), however, the surface Panel of the Glass substrate can only be designed in a single alignment direction (shown in figure 3), and the alignment in different directions on the same substrate cannot be realized simultaneously.
However, in order to maximize the yield, the Panel manufacturers are all striving to maximize the utilization area of the glass substrate, and produce as much Panel as possible with less investment. The alignment direction of Panel is determined when the visual angle, transmittance and other requirements of early customers are required, so that the corresponding ITO finger direction is determined, and the corresponding liquid crystal preset angle and alignment direction are determined. However, the dimension m/n of the glass substrate of the production line is fixed, and the dimension of Panel is as small as one or two inches and as large as several tens of inches, so that some edge area is wasted for some special sizes (figure 4). As shown in fig. 4: when the Pixel domains of the first and second panels are inconsistent, the two panels cannot be arranged in a mixed manner, because the alignment equipment cannot realize simultaneous multi-angle alignment (in practical design, the condition that the orientations of the Panel in the visual angle direction meet the consistency is difficult to realize). The surface of one substrate can only be designed in a single alignment direction, so that the utilization rate of the substrate is greatly reduced, and the limitation of single alignment is more obvious particularly under the trend of small batch, customization and special-shaped design.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Other embodiments, which can be derived by one of ordinary skill in the art from the embodiments given herein without any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
The principle of the photo-alignment process is that the polarized ultraviolet light acts on the surface of the TFT & CF substrate coated with the alignment film, so that the structure of the alignment film is changed and the alignment film has the liquid crystal alignment capability. In the existing industry, an optical alignment device structure is used, in which light emitted by a light source is filtered by a Filter to become elliptically polarized light 210, and then the elliptically polarized light is acted by a polarization wire grid to form a required polarization direction 301, and the polarization direction is irradiated to the surface of a product as shown in fig. 1, where fig. 1 is a first schematic diagram of an optical alignment structure in the prior art.
The liquid crystal alignment direction depends on the polarization direction of the polarization wire grid, but the polarization wire grid is installed in a single fixed manner, if different directions are required to be aligned, the alignment needs to be realized by rotating the angle of the Glass substrate as shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 is a second schematic diagram of the optical alignment structure in the prior art, however, the surface Panel of the Glass substrate can only be designed into a single alignment direction as shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a third schematic diagram of the optical alignment structure in the prior art, and the simultaneous alignment of different directions on the same substrate cannot be realized.

The alignment direction of Panel is determined when the visual angle, transmittance and other requirements of early customers are required, so that the corresponding ITO finger direction is determined, and the corresponding liquid crystal preset angle and alignment direction are determined. However, the dimension m/n of the production line glass substrate 400 is fixed, and the dimension of Panel varies from as small as one or two inches to as large as several tens of inches, so that some edge area is wasted for some special sizes (fig. 4). Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic view of the alignment of a glass substrate 400 in the prior art: when the Pixel domains of the first and second panels are not consistent, the two panels cannot be arranged in a mixed manner, and the Pixel domains are wasted in aligning to different direction areas 420 of the inconsistent glass substrate 400, because the alignment equipment cannot realize simultaneous multi-angle alignment (in the actual design, it is difficult to realize that the directions of the viewing angle directions of the panels are consistent). The surface of one substrate can only be designed in a single alignment direction, so that the utilization rate of the substrate is greatly reduced, and the limitation of single alignment is more obvious particularly under the trend of small batch, customization and special-shaped design.
