  As methods for preventing impurities from entering the liquid crystal layer, methods described in Patent Documents 1 to 5 are known. In the methods of Patent Literatures 1, 2, and 5, impurities eluted from the sealing material are adsorbed by an organic alignment film provided in the vicinity of the sealing material.

JP 2002-214616 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-300735 JP-A-10-260406 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-283693 JP-A-10-170922

  As impurities that contaminate the liquid crystal layer, there are impurities brought in from the outside through the liquid crystal injection port during liquid crystal injection and impurities eluted from the sealant during sealing. Although patent documents 1-5 can adsorb | suck the impurity eluted from a sealing material or a sealing agent, it cannot adsorb the impurity brought in from the outside at the time of liquid crystal injection | pouring.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal device and an electronic apparatus that can prevent a liquid crystal layer from being contaminated by impurities brought in from the outside during liquid crystal injection.

  The liquid crystal device of the present invention is sandwiched between the first substrate on which the first inorganic alignment film is formed, the second substrate on which the second inorganic alignment film is formed, and the first substrate and the second substrate. A liquid crystal layer, a sealing material that surrounds the liquid crystal layer and has a liquid crystal injection port formed in part, and a sealing agent that seals the liquid crystal injection port. The liquid crystal injection port is disposed at a position facing the overhanging portion, and the liquid crystal of the sealant is disposed on the outermost surface of the first substrate. The first organic film is formed continuously from the layer side to the outside of the sealing agent exposed on the overhanging portion beyond the liquid crystal injection port.

  According to this configuration, since the first organic film that easily adsorbs impurities is provided in the vicinity of the liquid crystal inlet, impurities brought in from the outside through the liquid crystal inlet are efficiently adsorbed by the first organic film. can do. In the liquid crystal injection process, a liquid crystal or a sealing agent is brought into contact with a substrate portion (a projecting portion) outside the liquid crystal injection port, and the liquid crystal or the sealing agent is injected into the liquid crystal injection port by a capillary phenomenon. Therefore, impurities adhering to the substrate portion outside the liquid crystal injection port easily enter the liquid crystal injection port with the flow of the liquid crystal or the sealant. However, in the liquid crystal device of the present invention, the first organic film is formed over a wide range from the inner side (display region side) to the outer side (opposite side of the display region) of the sealant with the liquid crystal injection port interposed therebetween. Impurities that flow from the outside of the liquid crystal inlet along with the flow of the liquid crystal and the sealant can be adsorbed efficiently.

  A second organic film may be continuously formed on the outermost surface of the second substrate from the liquid crystal layer side of the sealant to the end of the second substrate beyond the liquid crystal injection port.

  According to this configuration, it is possible to adsorb impurities more efficiently than a configuration in which impurities are adsorbed only by the first organic film.

  The first organic film may be formed continuously from the liquid crystal layer side of the sealant to the end of the overhanging portion beyond the liquid crystal injection port.

  According to this configuration, since the first organic film is formed over a wide range outside the liquid crystal injection port, impurities entering from the outside of the liquid crystal injection port can be efficiently adsorbed in the liquid crystal injection process.

  The first organic film is an organic alignment film that aligns the liquid crystal layer in the same direction as the first inorganic alignment film, and the second organic film has the liquid crystal layer in the same direction as the second inorganic alignment film. An organic alignment film to be aligned may be used.

  According to this structure, it can suppress that the orientation of a liquid crystal is disturb | confused in the part in which the 1st organic film and the 2nd organic film were formed. Impurities are adsorbed to the first organic film and the second organic film, which are organic alignment films. However, since the organic alignment film has better alignment power than the inorganic alignment film, the alignment is greatly disturbed even if the impurities are adsorbed. Absent.

  The first organic film may be formed on the first inorganic alignment film, and the second organic film may be formed on the second inorganic alignment film.

  According to this configuration, the alignment of the liquid crystal layer is controlled by the region in which the alignment of the liquid crystal layer is controlled by the first inorganic alignment film and the second inorganic alignment film, and the first organic film and the second organic film (organic alignment film). No gap is formed between the region and Therefore, it is possible to provide a liquid crystal device with less alignment disorder of the liquid crystal layer.

  An end portion of the sealing material including a gap material may be disposed between the first organic film and the second organic film.

  Since no sealing material is disposed at the liquid crystal inlet, the gap is likely to be narrowed. If the first organic film and the second organic film are disposed under the sealing material so as to compensate for the gap reduction, a uniform gap can be obtained even at the liquid crystal injection port. In this case, if the thickness of the first organic film and the second organic film is large, the gap of the liquid crystal injection port becomes too large. Therefore, the thickness of each of the first organic film and the second organic film is preferably 500 nm or less.

  An electronic apparatus according to the present invention includes the liquid crystal device according to the present invention.

  According to this configuration, it is possible to provide an electronic apparatus with little display quality deterioration due to impurities.

Further, at least one corner portion of the counter substrate 20 is provided with a conductive material 106 for electrical conduction between the TFT array substrate 10 and the counter substrate 20.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a positional relationship between the adsorption layer 54 and the adsorption layer 55 provided in the liquid crystal device 1 and the sealant 52. FIG. 2A is a plan view of the liquid crystal device viewed from the counter substrate side, and FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A ′ of FIG.

  On the outermost surface of the TFT array substrate 10 and the counter substrate 20 in the vicinity of the liquid crystal injection port 51a, a first adsorption layer (first organic film) 54 that adsorbs impurities brought in from the outside during liquid crystal injection, and a second adsorption layer (second adsorption layer). Organic film) 55 is provided. The first adsorption layer 54 and the second adsorption layer 55 are made of an organic film such as polyimide. Inside the region surrounded by the sealing material 51 of the TFT array substrate 10 and the counter substrate 20 is a first inorganic orientation made of a silicon oxide oblique vapor deposition film or the like covering the entire surface of the display region 1A and the non-display region 1B. A film 16 and a second inorganic alignment film 22 are formed. The first adsorption layer 54 and the second adsorption layer 55 are formed by applying or depositing an organic film on the first inorganic alignment film 16 and the second inorganic alignment film 22. In the liquid crystal device 1 of the present embodiment, the first adsorption layer 54 and the second adsorption layer 55 are provided on both the TFT array substrate 10 and the counter substrate 20, but the adsorption layer is provided on at least the TFT array substrate 10. It only has to be.

  The first adsorption layer 54 is continuously formed on the outermost surface of the TFT array substrate 10 from the liquid crystal layer side of the sealant 52 to the outside of the sealant 52 exposed on the protruding portion 10a beyond the liquid crystal injection port 51a. Has been. The end of the first adsorption layer 54 on the liquid crystal layer side is disposed in the non-display region 1B disposed on the display region side of the sealant 52, and is laminated on the first inorganic alignment film 16 in the non-display region 1B. Yes. In FIG. 2, the first adsorption layer 54 is formed up to the end of the overhanging portion 10 a, but the first adsorption layer 54 only needs to be formed at least outside the sealing agent 52.

  The second adsorption layer 55 is continuously formed on the outermost surface of the counter substrate 20 from the liquid crystal layer side of the sealant 52 to the edge of the counter substrate 20 beyond the liquid crystal injection port 51a.

Yes.

  FIG. 3 is an enlarged view showing the first inorganic alignment film 16 and the first adsorption layer 54 in the vicinity of the sealant 52.

  The first adsorption layer 54 is an organic alignment film that aligns the liquid crystal layer 50 in the same direction as the first inorganic alignment film 16. “An organic alignment film that aligns the liquid crystal layer 50 in the same direction as the first inorganic alignment film 16” means that the liquid crystal layer 50 is substantially parallel to the substrate normal when the first inorganic alignment film 16 is not applied with an electric field. If the alignment film is oriented, the first adsorption layer 54 is also an orientation film that orients the liquid crystal layer 50 substantially parallel to the substrate normal when no electric field is applied, and the first inorganic alignment film 16 is liquid crystal when no electric field is applied. If the alignment film aligns the layer 50 substantially perpendicular to the substrate normal, the first adsorption layer 54 is also an alignment film that aligns the liquid crystal layer 50 approximately perpendicular to the substrate normal when no electric field is applied. Means. Although not shown, the second adsorption layer 55 is also an organic alignment film that aligns the liquid crystal layer 50 in the same direction as the second inorganic alignment film 22.

  In the liquid crystal device 1 of the present embodiment, the first inorganic alignment film 16 and the second inorganic alignment film 22 are alignment films (vertical alignment films) that align the liquid crystal layer 50 substantially parallel to the substrate normal line when no electric field is applied. It is. Therefore, the first adsorption layer 54 and the second adsorption layer 55 are also alignment films (vertical alignment films) that align the liquid crystal layer 50 substantially in parallel with the substrate normal line when no electric field is applied. The liquid crystal layer 50 is a VA (Vertical Alignment) mode liquid crystal layer that is aligned substantially parallel to the substrate normal when no electric field is applied and is aligned substantially perpendicular to the substrate normal when an electric field is applied.

  According to the liquid crystal device 1 of the present embodiment, the first adsorption layer 54 and the second adsorption layer 55 made of an organic film that easily adsorbs impurities are provided in the vicinity of the liquid crystal injection port 51a. Therefore, impurities brought in from the outside through the liquid crystal inlet 51 a can be efficiently adsorbed by the first adsorption layer 54 and the second adsorption layer 55. In the liquid crystal injection process, the liquid crystal or the sealing agent is brought into contact with the substrate portion (the projecting portion 10a) outside the liquid crystal injection port 51a, and the liquid crystal or the sealing agent is injected into the liquid crystal injection port 51a by capillary action. Therefore, impurities adhering to the substrate portion outside the liquid crystal injection port 51a are likely to enter the liquid crystal injection port 51a with the flow of the liquid crystal or the sealant. However, in the liquid crystal device 1 of the present embodiment, the first adsorption layer covers a wide range from the inner side (display area 1A side) to the outer side (opposite side of the display area 1A) of the sealant 52 with the liquid crystal injection port 51a interposed therebetween. 54 and the second adsorbing layer 55 are formed, it is possible to efficiently adsorb impurities flowing from the outside of the liquid crystal injection port 51a as the liquid crystal or the sealant flows.

  In the liquid crystal device 1 of the present embodiment, the first adsorption layer 54 and the second adsorption layer 55 are organic alignment films that align the liquid crystal layer 50 in the same direction as the first inorganic alignment film 16 and the second inorganic alignment film 22. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the alignment of the liquid crystal from being disturbed in the portion where the first adsorption layer 54 and the second adsorption layer 55 are formed. Impurities are adsorbed to the organic alignment films that are the first adsorption layer 54 and the second adsorption layer 55, but the organic alignment film is superior in alignment force compared to the first inorganic alignment film 16 and the second inorganic alignment film 22, Even if impurities are adsorbed, the alignment is not greatly disturbed.

  Further, since the first adsorption layer 54 and the second adsorption layer 55 are formed on the first inorganic alignment film 16 and the second inorganic alignment film 22, liquid crystal is formed by the first inorganic alignment film 16 and the second inorganic alignment film 22. No gap is formed between the region in which the orientation of the layer 50 is controlled and the region in which the orientation of the liquid crystal layer 50 is controlled by the first adsorption layer 54 and the second adsorption layer 55 (organic alignment film). Therefore, it is possible to provide the liquid crystal device 1 with less alignment disorder of the liquid crystal layer 50.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a positional relationship between the first adsorption layer 56, the second adsorption layer 57, and the sealing agent 52 provided in the liquid crystal device 2 of the second embodiment.

  The first adsorption layer 56 and the second adsorption layer 57 are adsorption layers made of an organic film provided on the outermost surface in the vicinity of the liquid crystal injection port 51a of the TFT array substrate 10 and the counter substrate 20, respectively. The first adsorption layer 56 and the second adsorption layer 57 differ from the first adsorption layer 54 and the second adsorption layer 55 shown in FIG. 2 in that a part of the first adsorption layer 56 and the second adsorption layer 57 is liquid crystal injection. It is a point arranged so that it may overlap with the end of seal material 51 which constitutes entrance 51a. Other configurations are the same as those of the first adsorption layer 54 and the second adsorption layer 55 shown in FIG.

  In the liquid crystal device 2 of the present embodiment, the end portion of the sealing material 51 including the gap material is disposed on the first adsorption layer 56 and the second adsorption layer 57. Between the 1st adsorption layer 56 and the 2nd adsorption layer 57, the edge part of the sealing material 51 containing a gap material is arrange | positioned. Since the sealing material 51 is not disposed at the liquid crystal injection port 51a, the gap is likely to be narrowed. If the first adsorbing layer 56 and the second adsorbing layer 57 are arranged under the sealing material 51 to compensate for the gap reduction, a uniform gap can be obtained even in the liquid crystal injection port 51a. In this case, if the thickness of the first adsorbing layer 56 and the second adsorbing layer 57 is large, the gap of the liquid crystal injection port 51a becomes too large. Therefore, the thickness of the first adsorbing layer 56 and the second adsorbing layer 57 is 500 nm or less, respectively. It is preferable to do.

[Electronics]
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of an electronic apparatus including the liquid crystal device according to the embodiment. The electronic apparatus in FIG. 5 is a projector 1100 that has three liquid crystal devices as described above and is used as the liquid crystal devices 962R, 962G, and 962B for RGB.

  A light source device 920 and a uniform illumination optical system 923 are employed for the optical system of the projector 1100. The projector 1100 includes a color separation optical system 924 as color separation means for separating the light beam W emitted from the uniform illumination optical system 923 into red (R), green (G), and blue (B), and each color light beam R, Three light valves 925R, 925G, and 925B as modulation means for modulating G and B, a color composition prism 910 as color composition means for recombining the modulated color light flux, and the combined light flux on the projection surface A projection lens unit 906 is provided as projection means for enlarging and projecting on the surface of 100. Further, a light guide system 927 for guiding the blue light beam B to the corresponding light valve 925B is also provided.

  The uniform illumination optical system 923 includes two lens plates 921 and 922 and a reflection mirror 931, and the two lens plates 921 and 922 are arranged to be orthogonal to each other with the reflection mirror 931 interposed therebetween. The two lens plates 921 and 922 of the uniform illumination optical system 923 each include a plurality of rectangular lenses arranged in a matrix. The light beam emitted from the light source device 920 is divided into a plurality of partial light beams by the rectangular lens of the first lens plate 921. These partial light beams are superimposed in the vicinity of the three light valves 925R, 925G, and 925B by the rectangular lens of the second lens plate 922. Therefore, by using the uniform illumination optical system 923, even when the light source device 920 has a non-uniform illuminance distribution in the cross section of the emitted light beam, the three light valves 925R, 925G, and 925B can be uniformly illuminated. It can be illuminated.

  Each color separation optical system 924 includes a blue-green reflecting dichroic mirror 941, a green reflecting dichroic mirror 942, and a reflecting mirror 943. First, in the blue-green reflecting dichroic mirror 941, the blue light beam B and the green light beam G included in the light beam W are reflected at right angles and travel toward the green reflecting dichroic mirror 942. The red light beam R passes through the mirror 941, is reflected at a right angle by the rear reflecting mirror 943, and is emitted from the emission unit 944 of the red light beam R to the color synthesis prism 910 side. Next, in the green reflection dichroic mirror 942, only the green light beam G out of the blue and green light beams B and G reflected by the blue-green reflection dichroic mirror 941 is reflected at right angles, and the green light beam G is emitted from the emitting portion 945. The light is emitted to the side of the combining optical system. The blue light beam B that has passed through the green reflecting dichroic mirror 942 is emitted from the emission part 946 of the blue light beam B to the light guide system 927 side. In this example, the distances from the light beam W emission part of the uniform illumination optical element to the color light emission parts 944, 945, and 946 in the color separation optical system 924 are set to be substantially equal.

  Condensing lenses 951 and 952 are disposed on the emission side of the emission portions 944 and 945 for the red and green light beams R and G of the color separation optical system 924, respectively. Therefore, the red and green light beams R and G emitted from the respective emission portions are incident on these condenser lenses 951 and 952 and are collimated. The collimated red and green light beams R and G are incident on the light valves 925R and 925G and modulated, and image information corresponding to each color light is added. That is, these liquid crystal devices are subjected to switching control in accordance with image information by a driving unit (not shown), thereby modulating each color light passing therethrough. On the other hand, the blue light beam B is guided to the corresponding light valve 925B via the light guide system 927, where it is similarly modulated according to the image information. The light valves 925R, 925G, and 925B of the present example further include incident-side polarization means 960R, 960G, and 960B, emission-side polarization means 961R, 961G, and 961B, and liquid crystal devices 962R and 962G disposed therebetween. , 962B.

  The light guide system 927 includes a condensing lens 954 arranged on the emission side of the emission part 946 of the blue light beam B, an incident-side reflection mirror 971, an emission-side reflection mirror 972, and an intermediate lens arranged between these reflection mirrors. 973 and a condenser lens 953 disposed on the front side of the light valve 925B. The blue light beam B emitted from the condenser lens 954 is guided to the liquid crystal device 962B via the light guide system 927 and modulated. The optical path length of each color light beam, that is, the distance from the emission part of the light beam W to each liquid crystal device 962R, 962G, 962B is the longest for the blue light beam B, and therefore, the light amount loss of the blue light beam is the largest. However, the light loss can be suppressed by interposing the light guide system 927. The color light beams R, G, and B modulated through the light valves 925R, 925G, and 925B are incident on the color synthesis prism 910 and synthesized there. Then, the light synthesized by the color synthesis prism 910 is enlarged and projected onto the surface of the projection surface 100 at a predetermined position via the projection lens unit 906.

  In the projector 1100, the liquid crystal devices 962R, 962G, and 962B have the configurations of the above-described embodiments. Therefore, the projector 1100 is less prone to display deterioration due to the entry of impurities during liquid crystal injection.
