Description

The oriented detection method of alignment film and device
Technical field
The invention relates to a kind of method and device of oriented detection of liquid crystal alignment film, but be meant that especially a kind of robotization detects the method and the device of the capacity of orientation of liquid crystal alignment film.
Background technology
At present, liquid crystal material is a kind of crystallinity liquid, have optical anisotropy and flowability, can make molecule do the rotation of different directions according to electric field or variation of temperature, form transparent, translucent, opaque state, and liquid crystal flat panel display promptly is to utilize this principle utilization to rotate the long axis direction of liquid crystal molecule, changes the brightness of penetrating light and imaging.
For making liquid crystal material can on the surface of glass substrate, can present the arrangement and the orientation of systematicness in advance, must form alignment film prior to glass baseplate surface, the material of alignment film is usually based on the polyamide class, after utilizing the embossing mode to be printed on glass baseplate surface, again with felt carry out face mill handle poly-vinegar resinoid surface that (Rubbing) make alignment materials along fixed direction present the orientation state, and after the processing of face mill, usually must carry out the oriented detection of alignment film, to guarantee glass substrate after injecting liquid crystal molecule, liquid crystal molecule can present the arrangement of systematicness on the alignment film surface.
The oriented detection technology of existing alignment film is with the hand-held glass substrate of personnel, before a steam ejiction opening, adjust glass substrate position and angle, when water vapor is contacted with the alignment film surface, because the relative temperature of the alignment film of glass substrate is lower, therefore make the vaporous water molecule can condense into liquid particulate and be attached on the alignment film, also cooperate suitable light source projects on the alignment film surface this moment, utilize reflection ray, on alignment film, adhere to arranging situation with the visual inspection hydrone, judge the directed quality of alignment film.
As shown in Figure 1, it is held with both hands and gets glass substrate 1 for personnel, in a steam ejiction opening 31 before, invest glass substrate 1 with water vapor 32 sprays after, utilize light source 22 throw lights after, adjust glass substrate 1 reflective angle, with the directed quality of naked eyes 4 observation alignment films 10.
Take a broad view of prior art, can find to have following shortcoming:
1. every sheet glass substrate must be piecewise with the attached steam of artificial spray and constantly adjust reflective angle and observe and detect, efficient is low, is unable to cope with the mass-produced demand of product.
2. the accuracy that can't improve judge in conjunction with other device, the personnel that can only rely on are with visual examination, may lack experience or various environmental factor causes erroneous judgement because of personnel, make defective products enter next processing procedure or non-defective unit is rejected.
Therefore, for the research staff of the oriented detection association area of being engaged in alignment film, there's no one who doesn't or isn't be devoted to solve the shortcoming of prior art, in the hope of obtaining more good merchantable brand matter.
