Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid crystal display device capable of controlling the swelling-out of an adhesive used when adhering an ITO heater to a liquid crystal panel in regard to the liquid crystal panel mounting an ITO heater. <P>SOLUTION: Grooves for absorbing excessive adhesive to the liquid crystal panel side are formed on parts other than a display area of the liquid crystal panel of an adhesive surface between the ITO heater and the liquid crystal panel. Thereby, the excessive adhesive is wholly absorbed into the grooves formed on the adhesive surface of the liquid crystal panel and, therefore, the ITO heater can be mounted on the liquid crystal panel without swelling-out the adhesive to side surfaces of the liquid crystal panel. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

本発明は、ITOヒーターを搭載した液晶表示装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device equipped with an ITO heater.

液晶表示装置はさまざまな分野で多用されているため、いろいろな環境下で使用されている。温度環境を見ると、低温域(例えば−30度)から高温域(例えば60度)の幅広い環境下で使用され、その温度範囲内で正常に動作することが要求されている   Since liquid crystal display devices are widely used in various fields, they are used in various environments. Looking at the temperature environment, it is used in a wide range of environments from a low temperature range (for example, -30 degrees) to a high temperature range (for example 60 degrees), and is required to operate normally within that temperature range.

液晶表示装置においては、液晶の応答速度は使用温度環境に大きく影響を受け、特に低温環境では液晶の応答速度が遅くなる。このため一般的に低温環境下で使用される場合、液晶表示装置を暖めるITOヒーターなどが付設されている。(特許文献1、特許文献2参照)   In the liquid crystal display device, the response speed of the liquid crystal is greatly affected by the operating temperature environment, and the response speed of the liquid crystal becomes slow particularly in a low temperature environment. For this reason, in general, when used in a low temperature environment, an ITO heater or the like for warming the liquid crystal display device is attached. (See Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2)

図2は従来技術によるITOヒーター付液晶表示装置の例を示す上面図と側面図である。液晶パネル1は下基板2と上基板3とで構成され、下基板2と上基板3を貼り合せる面にはそれぞれ液晶を配向させるための配向膜(不図示)が成膜されている。下基板2と上基板3は周辺シール材(不図示)にて所定の位置と隙間で固定され、さらに、その間に液晶(不図示)が配置されている。ITOヒーター6と液晶パネル1とを接着する側である上基板3側に接着剤5を塗布し、ITOヒーター6をセットして接着剤5を硬化させ、ITOヒーター6が接着固定される。接着剤5に関してはITOヒーター6からの熱を効率良く、又均一に伝える必要があり、接着剤5の厚みは出来るだけ薄く均一にする事が望ましい。その為に、上基板3へ接着剤5を塗布した後にその上からITOヒーター6を位置決めし、更に加圧する事で接着剤5を薄くしている。   FIG. 2 is a top view and a side view showing an example of a liquid crystal display device with an ITO heater according to the prior art. The liquid crystal panel 1 is composed of a lower substrate 2 and an upper substrate 3, and alignment films (not shown) for aligning liquid crystals are respectively formed on surfaces where the lower substrate 2 and the upper substrate 3 are bonded. The lower substrate 2 and the upper substrate 3 are fixed at a predetermined position and gap by a peripheral sealing material (not shown), and liquid crystal (not shown) is arranged between them. The adhesive 5 is applied to the upper substrate 3 side, which is the side where the ITO heater 6 and the liquid crystal panel 1 are bonded, the ITO heater 6 is set and the adhesive 5 is cured, and the ITO heater 6 is bonded and fixed. With respect to the adhesive 5, it is necessary to transmit heat from the ITO heater 6 efficiently and uniformly, and it is desirable to make the thickness of the adhesive 5 as thin and uniform as possible. For this purpose, after the adhesive 5 is applied to the upper substrate 3, the ITO heater 6 is positioned from above and further pressed to make the adhesive 5 thinner.

ITOヒーター6はガラス基板7とITO電極8とで構成され、ITO電極8の両端間に電圧を印加してITOヒーター6を発熱させる。更に液晶パネル1の下基板2側を、回路基板4に固定テープ9にて固定する。更に液晶パネル1は回路基板4とワイヤー10にて電気的に接続をとり、ITOヒーター6も回路基板4と導電性接着剤11で電気的に接続をとり完成となる。14は液晶表示領域である。   The ITO heater 6 is composed of a glass substrate 7 and an ITO electrode 8, and a voltage is applied across the ITO electrode 8 to cause the ITO heater 6 to generate heat. Further, the lower substrate 2 side of the liquid crystal panel 1 is fixed to the circuit substrate 4 with a fixing tape 9. Further, the liquid crystal panel 1 is electrically connected to the circuit board 4 by the wire 10, and the ITO heater 6 is also electrically connected to the circuit board 4 by the conductive adhesive 11 to complete. Reference numeral 14 denotes a liquid crystal display area.

しかしITOヒーター6と液晶パネル1の上基板3とを固定させる際に使用する接着剤5を加圧により薄くするため、液晶パネル1の側面へ余分な接着剤12がはみ出し、それらが下基板2と上基板3をまたいで塗布されてしまうことがある。これにより接着剤5が硬化する際に発生する体積収縮及び膨張などにより、下基板2と上基板3とが影響を受け、液晶パネル1が反ってしまう不具合が生じていた。   However, in order to thin the adhesive 5 used for fixing the ITO heater 6 and the upper substrate 3 of the liquid crystal panel 1 by pressurization, excess adhesive 12 protrudes from the side surface of the liquid crystal panel 1, and these are the lower substrate 2. May be applied across the upper substrate 3. As a result, the lower substrate 2 and the upper substrate 3 are affected by the volume shrinkage and expansion that occur when the adhesive 5 is cured, and the liquid crystal panel 1 is warped.

回路基板に液晶パネルを搭載し、該液晶パネルを構成する基板の表面にITOヒーターを接着固定する液晶表示装置において、前記液晶パネルのITOヒーター接着面の表示領域より外周に溝を形成し、接着剤は前記溝の内側に塗布した液晶表示装置とする。   In a liquid crystal display device in which a liquid crystal panel is mounted on a circuit board and an ITO heater is bonded and fixed to the surface of the substrate constituting the liquid crystal panel, a groove is formed on the outer periphery from the display area of the ITO heater bonding surface of the liquid crystal panel and bonded. The agent is a liquid crystal display device coated on the inside of the groove.

前記接着剤は熱伝導性であり、常温での粘度が200mPa・s〜1500mPa・sである液晶表示装置とする。   The adhesive is thermally conductive and has a viscosity at room temperature of 200 mPa · s to 1500 mPa · s.

本発明によれば、ITOヒーターを液晶パネルに搭載する際に使用する接着剤に関して、加圧時に発生する接着剤のはみ出しをITOヒーター接着面の表示領域より外周に形成した溝で止めることにより、ITOヒーターと液晶パネルの接続面以外に接着剤が流れ出すことを防ぐ事が出来る。よって、下基板と上基板を跨いで接着剤が付着することはなく、接着剤の収縮・膨張による液晶パネルの反りが発生することはなくなった。   According to the present invention, with respect to the adhesive used when mounting the ITO heater on the liquid crystal panel, the protrusion of the adhesive generated during pressurization is stopped by a groove formed on the outer periphery from the display area of the ITO heater adhesive surface, It is possible to prevent the adhesive from flowing outside the connecting surface of the ITO heater and the liquid crystal panel. Therefore, the adhesive does not adhere across the lower substrate and the upper substrate, and the liquid crystal panel is not warped due to the shrinkage / expansion of the adhesive.

接着剤は熱伝導性であり、常温での粘度が200mPa・s〜1500mPa・sとすることにより、接着剤の塗布とその後の取り扱いが容易になるとともに、ITOヒーターからの熱が、速やかに液晶パネルに伝達される。   Adhesives are thermally conductive, and by setting the viscosity at room temperature to 200 mPa · s to 1500 mPa · s, application of the adhesive and subsequent handling become easy, and the heat from the ITO heater is quickly transferred to the liquid crystal. Transmitted to the panel.

回路基板に液晶パネルを搭載し、該液晶パネルを構成する基板の表面にITOヒーターを搭載した液晶表示装置において、前記ITOヒーターと液晶パネルが接着剤で固定されさらに、液晶パネルの液晶表示領域以外の外周部分にITOヒーター接着面側に余分な接着剤を吸収させる溝を形成し、さらに使用する接着剤の粘度が常温環境下で200mPa・s〜1500mPa・sである液晶表示装置とする   In a liquid crystal display device in which a liquid crystal panel is mounted on a circuit board and an ITO heater is mounted on the surface of the substrate constituting the liquid crystal panel, the ITO heater and the liquid crystal panel are fixed with an adhesive, and other than the liquid crystal display area of the liquid crystal panel A groove for absorbing excess adhesive on the ITO heater bonding surface side is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the liquid crystal display device, and the viscosity of the adhesive to be used is 200 mPa · s to 1500 mPa · s in a normal temperature environment.

図1は本発明による液晶表示装置の上面図、側面図(実施例1)である。従来技術と大きく異なるのは、液晶パネル1のITOヒーター6との接着面側となる上基板3に溝13が形成されている事である。   FIG. 1 is a top view and a side view (Example 1) of a liquid crystal display device according to the present invention. A significant difference from the prior art is that a groove 13 is formed in the upper substrate 3 on the side of the bonding surface of the liquid crystal panel 1 to the ITO heater 6.

まず始めに下基板2と上基板3とで構成された液晶パネル1の状態で、上基板3側の液晶表示領域14より外周の部分にダイシング装置を利用して溝13を形成する。形成する溝の深さは、深ければ深いほど良いが、あまり深く溝を形成しすぎると、残しの肉厚が薄くなり上基板3が溝13をきっかけに割れてしまう可能性があるので、基本的には上基板3の厚みに対して半分くらいの溝の深さが良い。又溝13の幅に関しては基本的には液晶表示領域14以外の部分の領域幅であれば太さは関係無いが、ダイシングで使用するブレード(ダイシングに使用する歯)の幅が市販されているもので10um〜500umが主流であり、この範囲内のブレードを使用し、溝13を形成する事が望ましい。もしくは液晶表示領域14以外の部分に何本かの溝13を形成させる方法でも問題は無い。溝の形成はマイクロサンドブラストやエッチングによって形成しても良い。   First, in the state of the liquid crystal panel 1 composed of the lower substrate 2 and the upper substrate 3, the grooves 13 are formed in the outer peripheral portion of the liquid crystal display region 14 on the upper substrate 3 side using a dicing device. The depth of the groove to be formed is better as it is deeper. However, if the groove is formed too deeply, the remaining thickness becomes thin and the upper substrate 3 may be broken by the groove 13. Specifically, the depth of the groove is about half of the thickness of the upper substrate 3. As for the width of the groove 13, the width is basically irrelevant as long as it is an area width other than the liquid crystal display area 14, but the width of a blade (teeth used for dicing) used in dicing is commercially available. 10 μm to 500 μm is the mainstream, and it is desirable to form the groove 13 using a blade within this range. Alternatively, there is no problem even in a method of forming some grooves 13 in a portion other than the liquid crystal display area 14. The groove may be formed by micro sand blasting or etching.

次に液晶パネル1の上基板3側に接着剤5を塗布し、更にITOヒーター6を所定の位置関係で配置して固定する。この時に使用する接着剤5は均一にさらに出来るだけ薄く接着させる事が望ましい為、接着剤5の粘度を常温環境下で200mPa・s〜1500mPa・s程度のものが望ましい、又接着剤の材質はエポキシ系でもUV系でもどちらでも良いがUV硬化型接着剤の方が、硬化時間が短く使い勝手は良い。この状態からITOヒーター6面上を加圧する事により接着剤5が接着面全面に広がる。このときに接着面からはみ出るはずの接着剤5が液晶パネル1の上基板3上に形成した溝13の中に浸透し、液晶パネル1の側面部分に接着剤5が流れないような構造となる。この状態から、接着剤を硬化させてITOヒーター6を完全に固定させる。   Next, an adhesive 5 is applied to the upper substrate 3 side of the liquid crystal panel 1, and an ITO heater 6 is arranged and fixed in a predetermined positional relationship. Since it is desirable that the adhesive 5 used at this time be uniformly and as thin as possible, the viscosity of the adhesive 5 is preferably about 200 mPa · s to 1500 mPa · s in a normal temperature environment, and the material of the adhesive is Either an epoxy system or a UV system may be used, but a UV curable adhesive has a shorter curing time and is easier to use. By pressing the surface of the ITO heater 6 from this state, the adhesive 5 spreads over the entire bonding surface. At this time, the adhesive 5 that should protrude from the adhesive surface penetrates into the groove 13 formed on the upper substrate 3 of the liquid crystal panel 1, and the adhesive 5 does not flow to the side surface portion of the liquid crystal panel 1. . From this state, the adhesive is cured to completely fix the ITO heater 6.

この状態からITOヒーター6を搭載した液晶パネル1を回路基板4に搭載する。搭載方法としては液晶パネル1を回路基板4上の所定の位置で固定テープ9にて固定する。更に液晶パネル1と回路基板4はワイヤー10にて電気的に接続を取り、ITOヒーター6と回路基板4とは導電性接着剤11にて電気的に接続をとる。   From this state, the liquid crystal panel 1 on which the ITO heater 6 is mounted is mounted on the circuit board 4. As a mounting method, the liquid crystal panel 1 is fixed with a fixing tape 9 at a predetermined position on the circuit board 4. Further, the liquid crystal panel 1 and the circuit board 4 are electrically connected by a wire 10, and the ITO heater 6 and the circuit board 4 are electrically connected by a conductive adhesive 11.

これにより今まで課題であった、ITOヒーター6を液晶パネル1に接着する際に使用していた接着剤5が接着面からはみ出し、液晶パネル1の側面の下基板2と上基板3とをまたいで塗布される事を防ぎ、接着剤5が硬化した際に接着剤5の体積収縮及び膨張などにより、下基板2と上基板3とが接着剤5に影響を受け、液晶パネル1が反ってしまう不具合を発生させない構造となる。   As a result, the adhesive 5 used to adhere the ITO heater 6 to the liquid crystal panel 1, which has been a problem until now, protrudes from the adhesive surface and straddles the lower substrate 2 and the upper substrate 3 on the side surface of the liquid crystal panel 1. When the adhesive 5 is cured, the lower substrate 2 and the upper substrate 3 are affected by the adhesive 5 due to the volume shrinkage and expansion of the adhesive 5, and the liquid crystal panel 1 is warped. It becomes the structure which does not generate the malfunction which ends.
