Description

  The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device, and more particularly to a liquid crystal display device in which the reliability of a seal portion is improved when the width of a frame region surrounding a display region is reduced.

  In a liquid crystal display panel used in a liquid crystal display device, a TFT substrate on which pixels having pixel electrodes, thin film transistors (TFTs), and the like are formed in a matrix, and an opposing substrate are disposed opposite to the TFT substrate. The liquid crystal is held between the substrates. An image is formed by controlling the light transmittance of liquid crystal molecules for each pixel.

  In the liquid crystal display panel, liquid crystal is present in a region surrounded by the TFT substrate, the opposite substrate, and the peripheral sealing material. A method of injecting liquid crystal into the space from the sealing hole, the TFT substrate and the opposite substrate Before bonding, there is a method (ODF method) in which liquid crystal is dropped on a TFT substrate or an opposite substrate to fill the liquid crystal.

  The ODF method (dropping method) is widely used because the speed of filling the liquid crystal is fast. In the dropping method, it is necessary to precisely control the amount of liquid crystal to be dropped. Nevertheless, when the TFT substrate and the opposite substrate are bonded, the spacing between the substrates tends to be uneven, particularly in the seal portion. In order to prevent the spacing between the substrates from becoming uneven in the case of using the dropping method in Patent Document 1, the inner first seal material and the outer second seal material are arranged at a distance. When the distance between the position where the liquid crystal is dropped and the first seal material is a, and the distance between the first seal material and the second seal material is b, the relationship between a and b is 2.5 to 5 times. The configuration to set in the double range is described.

  On the other hand, in the liquid crystal display device, there is an increasing demand to make the display area as large as possible by making the outer size a certain size. Then, the width from the end of the display area to the outer shape of the liquid crystal display panel, that is, the so-called frame area becomes narrow. In a small liquid crystal display device, the width of the frame area is reduced to about 1 mm. In this case, the width of the sealing material for bonding the TFT substrate and the opposite substrate becomes smaller, and the reliability of the sealing portion becomes a problem.

  In addition to this, in the case of the dropping method, the sealing material is in a semi-cured state when the liquid crystal is dropped, and thus, when the pressure in the region filled with the liquid crystal between the TFT substrate and the counter substrate is large, the liquid crystal May be inserted between the sealing material and the TFT substrate or the opposite substrate, and the reliability of the sealing portion may be impaired.

  An object of the present invention is to realize a liquid crystal display device capable of maintaining the reliability of the seal portion even when the frame area is narrowed and the width of the seal material is reduced when the liquid crystal is filled using the dropping method. It is.

  Since the liquid crystal display panels are formed one by one, the efficiency is low. Therefore, a large number of liquid crystal display panels are formed on one mother substrate, and after the mother substrate is completed, the liquid crystal display panels may be separated into individual liquid crystal display panels. It is In the case of separation into individual liquid crystal display panels, if a seal material is present at the break line, the separation by scribing or the like becomes difficult, so the seal material is not formed at the break line portion. However, in this method, in order to prevent the seal material from protruding to the break line portion, it is necessary to make the portion where the seal material does not exist relatively wide across the break line.

  In order to prevent this, there is a method of forming a wall-like spacer at the broken line and cutting the wall-like spacer. FIG. 13 is a plan view and a side view of the liquid crystal display device formed in this manner. In FIG. 13, the TFT substrate 100 and the counter substrate 200 are attached by the sealing material 40, and the liquid crystal 300 is sealed inside the sealing material 40. The TFT substrate 100 is formed larger than the counter substrate 200, and a portion where the TFT substrate 100 is one is a terminal portion for mounting an IC driver or forming a terminal connected to a flexible wiring substrate or the like. It is 150.

  FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view taken along line D-D of FIG. In FIG. 13, the TFT substrate 100 and the counter substrate 200 are adhered by the sealing material 40, and the liquid crystal 300 exists inside. At the end where the TFT substrate 100 and the counter substrate 200 are cut, a wall-like spacer 10 is formed, and the seal in the area to be cut is eliminated. However, the breaking line 60 facing the terminal portion 150 side in FIG. 13 is not cut because only one counter substrate is cut and it is necessary to leave the terminal portion on the TFT substrate. Therefore, the configuration is different between the broken line 50 and the broken line 60.

  FIG. 15 is a plan view showing a state in which two liquid crystal display panels are arranged in the state of the mother substrate. FIG. 16 is a cross sectional view showing a cross section including broken line 50 in FIG. In FIG. 16, the break line 50 breaks the center of the wall-like spacer 10. FIG. 17 is a cross-sectional view including broken line 60 in FIG. In FIG. 17, a breaking line 60 at which only the opposite substrate 200 is broken is present outside the sealing material 40.

  In the case of the breaking line 60, when the opposing substrate facing the terminal portion is removed, if the sealing material is present in the terminal portion, the removal becomes difficult, so the sealing material is not present on one side of the breaking line 60 . On the other hand, when the scribing for breaking is performed, since the appropriate scribing can not be performed when the glass is bent, the scribe columnar spacers 30 are disposed with the breaking line 60 interposed therebetween. Although the frame width w1 in other than the terminal portion 150 is about 1 mm, the frame width w2 can be about 3 mm in the terminal portion 150. Therefore, there is no problem in the terminal portion 160 as such a configuration. .

  In such a configuration, an insertion phenomenon (hereinafter simply referred to as insertion of liquid crystal) occurs in which the liquid crystal 300 intrudes between the sealing material 40 and the TFT substrate 100 or the counter substrate 200 in the region shown by H1 in FIG. This is because, as shown in FIG. 15, in the long side of the liquid crystal display panel, the wall-shaped spacer 10 and the sealing material 40 of the adjacent liquid crystal display panel are present on one side of the sealing material 40. In the above, it is considered that the sealing material is not present at the tip of the wall-like spacer 10 or the wall-like spacer. At the time when the liquid crystal display device is dropped and the TFT substrate 100 and the counter substrate 200 are bonded to each other, the sealing material 40 is not yet cured, and the sealing material 40 is moved by the pressure from the liquid crystal. It can be considered. The following example provides a configuration to prevent such a phenomenon.

  FIG. 1 is a plan view showing Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a TFT substrate 100 and an opposite substrate 200 are bonded by a sealing material 40, and liquid crystal is held between the TFT substrate 100 and the opposite substrate 200. In FIG. 1, the wall-like spacer 10 is provided at the end of the substrate at three sides except the terminal portion 150. In the terminal portion 150, the wall-shaped spacer 10 extends outside the sealing material 40. In addition, an outer sealing material 41 is present on the outer side (terminal portion side) of the wall-like spacer 10. An outer wall-like spacer 11 is present to restrict the outer seal member 41 from spreading outward. A breaking line 60 is present on the outside of the outer wall-like spacer 11 to remove only the portion of the counter substrate 200. The breaking line 60 corresponds to the place where the scribing for breaking is made in the opposite substrate 200, but at this time, the scribing columnar spacer 30 is disposed so that the glass is not bent.

  FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. In FIG. 2, the liquid crystal 300 is sealed inside the sealing material 40. The wall-like spacer 10 is present outside the sealing material 40, and the outer sealing material 41 is present outside the wall-like spacer 10. The outer sealing material 41 is further blocked by the outer wall-like spacer 11 outside. There is. Further outside the outer wall-like spacer 11, a deflection preventing columnar spacer 30 is present at the time of scribing.

  As shown in FIG. 2, on the side of the terminal portion 150 as well, viewed in plan, it has the structure of sealing material-wall-like spacer-sealing material. With such a configuration, when the opposing substrate 200 and the TFT substrate 100 are bonded to each other, the sealing material 40 is blocked by the wall-shaped spacer 10 even if pressure is applied from the liquid crystal side, and the sealing material 40 does not move There is no insertion of the liquid crystal because it is not present.

  FIG. 3 is a plan view of the liquid crystal display panel before the counter substrate 200 facing the terminal portion 150 is removed. It is different from FIG. 1 in that the broken line 60 indicated by a dotted line is in a state where the glass is not separated yet. In FIG. 3, scribe columnar spacers 30 are disposed on both sides of the break line 60. There is no outer sealing material 41 in this portion. This is because the sealing material 41 is blocked by the outer wall-like spacer 11.

  FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line B-B of FIG. In FIG. 4, scribe columnar spacers 30 are disposed on both sides of the break line 60. This is to prevent the glass from bending during scribing. In FIG. 4, when the glass on the counter substrate 200 side is removed at the break line 60, it becomes the same as FIG.

  FIG. 5 is a plan view showing a mother substrate. In FIG. 5, three liquid crystal display panels are formed on the mother substrate. However, this is an example, and in many cases, a large number of liquid crystal display panels are formed on a mother substrate. In FIG. 5, mother substrate sealing materials 410 are formed around the three liquid crystal display panels. This is for bonding the mother TFT substrate and the mother counter substrate.

  In each liquid crystal display panel of FIG. 5, a sealing material 40 is formed to surround the display area 1000. A wall-like spacer 10 is formed to surround the sealing material 40. An outer seal member 41 is formed on the outside of the wall spacer 10.

  In the terminal portion 150, the outer wall-like spacer 11 is formed on the outside of the outer sealing material 41, and in the terminal portion 150, the outer sealing material 41 is prevented from spreading more than necessary to reach the break line 60. On the other hand, since there is no need to separate the opposing substrate as in the terminal portion except for the terminal portion 150, the outer wall-like spacer 11 is not present.

  As shown in FIG. 5, on all sides surrounding the display area 1000 of the liquid crystal display panel, viewed in plan, the structure is a seal material-wall-like spacer-outer seal material. This prevents the phenomenon in which the liquid crystal 300 is inserted into the sealing portion on all sides. Therefore, the reliability of the seal portion can be secured on all sides of the liquid crystal display panel. The other configuration of each liquid crystal display panel in FIG. 5 is the same as that described in FIGS.

  In this embodiment, various configurations are added to the seal portion of the terminal portion in each liquid crystal display panel in FIG. 6 is a detailed plan view of area A of FIG. 5, and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line C-C of FIG. In FIG. 6, the upper side of the wall-like spacer 10 is inside, and the lower side of the wall-like spacer 10 is outside. In FIG. 6, the liquid crystal 300 is filled inside. A sealing material 40 is formed on the outside of the liquid crystal 300. In the sealing material 40, a columnar spacer 20 which defines the distance between the TFT substrate 100 and the counter substrate 200 is formed. The columnar spacer 20 is formed on the color filter 202 formed in a stripe shape on the counter substrate 200 side. Such columnar spacers 20 are formed in three rows from the inside. The color filter 202 is formed of, for example, a blue color filter.

  In FIG. 6, the wall-like spacer 10 is formed on the color filter 202 on the side of the counter substrate 200. The columnar spacers 20 in FIG. 6 are disposed such that the distance between the opposing substrate 200 and the TFT substrate 100 does not become too small when pressure is applied to the opposing substrate 200 from the outside. There is a slight gap between the tip of 20 and the TFT substrate 100, but it is not limited thereto.

  In FIG. 6, an outer sealing material 41 is formed on the outside of the wall-like spacer 10. The outer sealing material 41 is partitioned by the outer wall-like spacer 11. On the opposite substrate 200 side of the portion where the outer sealing material 41 is present, a color filter 202 is formed in a stripe shape, and a columnar spacer 20 is formed thereon. The striped color filters 202 and the columnar spacers 20 are formed in three rows. The color filter 202 is formed of, for example, a blue color filter.

  Two columns of columnar spacers 30 for preventing deflection at the time of scribing are formed on the outside of the outer wall-like spacer 11, and the center of the column of columnar spacers is a scribing line, that is, a breaking line 60. In FIG. 6, since the outer seal material 41 is partitioned by the outer wall-like spacer 11, it does not extend to the place where the scribe columnar spacer 30 exists. Therefore, it can be broken by scribing precisely.

  7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line C-C in FIG. In FIG. 7, a base film 101 is formed on a TFT substrate 100, and a bridge wiring 102 is formed thereon. An inorganic insulating film 103 is formed to cover the base film 101 and the bridge wiring 102. Wirings 104 such as video signal lines are formed on the inorganic insulating film 103. An organic passivation film 106 is formed on the wiring 104, and an inorganic insulating film 107 formed of SiN or the like is formed thereon.

  Through holes 108 are formed in the organic passivation film 106. The through holes of the organic passivation film 106 have a role of blocking moisture intruding from the terminal portion 150 along the organic passivation film 106. The wiring 104 is connected to the bridge wiring 102 via the contact hole 105 formed in the inorganic insulating film 103 inside the through hole 108 formed in the organic passivation film 106. Outside the through holes 108 formed in the organic passivation film 106, the bridge wiring 102 is connected to the terminal portion wiring 1041 through the contact holes 105 formed in the inorganic insulating film 103. The role of the bridge wiring 102 is to block external moisture transmitted along the interface between the organic passivation film 106 and the terminal portion wiring 1041.

  In the counter substrate 200, a black matrix 201 is formed in the seal portion. This is to prevent light leakage from the seal portion. On the black matrix 201, the color filter 201 is formed in a portion corresponding to the wall-like spacer 10 or the columnar spacer 20. This is because the heights of the columnar spacers 20 and the wall-like spacers 10 are aligned with the columnar spacers in the display area 1000. An overcoat film 203 is formed to cover the color filter 202.

  On the overcoat film 203, a wall-shaped spacer 10, an outer wall-shaped spacer 11, a columnar spacer 20 and the like are formed. These spacers can be formed of the same material in the same process by using a halftone mask or the like, but can also be formed individually using another mask or the like. A seal member 40 is formed on the display area side of the wall-like spacer 10, and an outer seal member 41 is formed on the terminal portion side. The sealing material 40 seals the liquid crystal, and the wall-like spacer 10 is for preventing the sealing material 40 from moving and inserting the liquid crystal when the TFT substrate 100 and the counter substrate 200 are bonded to each other. The outer sealing material 41 is partitioned by the outer wall-like spacer 11.

  On the outside of the outer wall-like spacer 11, a scribing columnar spacer 30 for breaking is formed. A breaking line 60 exists at the center of the two rows of columnar spacers 30. Since the outer seal member 41 is partitioned by the outer wall-like spacer 11, the outer seal member 41 does not exist at the break line 60, so that a precise break is possible.

  In this embodiment, the liquid crystal can be prevented from being inserted in the seal portion, the distance between the TFT substrate 100 and the counter substrate 200 in the seal portion can be accurately controlled, and the entry of moisture from the outside can be effectively prevented. it can.

  FIG. 8 is another form of this embodiment. FIG. 8 is also a cross-sectional view taken along the line C-C in FIG. The difference between FIG. 8 and FIG. 7 is that a recess 109 is formed in the organic passivation film 106 in the TFT substrate 100. The recess 109 is formed in the organic passivation film 106 between the columnar spacer 30 and the columnar spacer 30 and between the columnar spacer 30 and the wall spacer 10. By forming such a concave portion 109, even if water intrudes from the outside, the path for the water to reach the liquid crystal can be lengthened, and accordingly, the life of the liquid crystal display device is lengthened accordingly. Can.

  FIG. 9 shows still another form of this embodiment. FIG. 9 is also a cross-sectional view taken along the line C-C in FIG. 9 is different from FIG. 7 in that no color filter is present in the portion where the wall-like spacer 10 is present on the counter substrate 200 side. Since the wall-like spacer 10 has a larger width than the columnar spacer 20, the height tends to be high when photolithography is performed under the same conditions. Therefore, if there is no color filter in the portion of the wall-like spacer 10, it may be possible to form a spacer of uniform height.

  FIG. 10 shows still another form of this embodiment. FIG. 10 is also a cross-sectional view taken along the line C-C in FIG. FIG. 10 is a combination of the configurations of FIG. 8 and FIG. That is, on the side of the TFT substrate 100, by forming the concave portion 109, the path of moisture intrusion can be made longer. Further, on the side of the counter substrate 200, no color filter is formed on the portion of the wall-like spacer 10. The effect is a combination of the effects of FIG. 8 and FIG.

  In the liquid crystal display device in which the liquid crystal is filled by the dropping method, it is considered that the reason why the liquid crystal is inserted in the sealing portion is that the sealing material 40 moves by the pressure of the liquid crystal inside. In order to prevent the sealing material 40 from moving by the pressure of the liquid crystal, it is preferable that the wall-like spacer 10 and the sealing material 40 be in close contact. Since the sealing material 40 is applied by a dispenser or the like, the corner portion of the display area is likely to be rounded. If the wall-like spacer 10 is formed in a corner at the corner of the display area, the sealing material 40 may not be able to fill the corner. That is, if there is a space between the sealing material 40 and the wall-like spacer 10, the sealing material will move.

  In this embodiment, in order to prevent this, the inside of the wall-like spacer 10 is rounded at the corners of the display area. FIG. 11 is an enlarged plan view showing the region B of FIG. In FIG. 11, R is formed at the corner portion of the wall-like spacer 10. For this purpose, the sealing material 40 is securely filled up to the corners of the wall-like spacer 10. Since the effect is limited when the size of R is too small, it is desirable that the size is 0.3 mm or more, and more preferably 0.5 mm or more.

  FIG. 12 is an enlarged plan view showing the area C of FIG. In FIG. 12, R is formed at the corner portion of the wall-like spacer 10. For this purpose, the sealing material 40 is securely filled up to the corners of the wall-like spacer. Since the effect is limited if the size of R in this case is also too small, it is desirable to be 0.5 mm or more. On the other hand, on the outside of the wall-like spacer 10 on which the outer sealing material is disposed, in FIG. 12, the inner corner of the wall-like spacer 10 or the outer wall-like spacer 11 is angular. Good.

  According to this embodiment, the movement of the sealing material 40 can be suppressed also in the corner portion of the display area, and the insertion of liquid crystal in the corner portion of the display area can be prevented.

  In the above embodiment, the sealing material 40, the wall-shaped spacer 10, the outer sealing material 41, the outer wall-shaped spacer 11, and the scribing columnar spacer 30 are formed in this order from the display area side to the terminal side. . However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The configuration without the wall-like spacer 10 as in FIG. 18, the configuration without the outer spacer 11 as in FIG. 19, neither the wall-like spacer 10 nor the outer spacer 11 as in FIG. 20 There may be a configuration without both. Even in these cases, since the width of the sealing material on the terminal side is larger than the three sides other than the terminal, the effect of inserting liquid crystal can be obtained, and the sealing area on the terminal side is It becomes possible to narrow the width.

  Further, the wall-like spacer 10 and the outer spacer 11 do not have to be provided on the counter substrate 200, and part or all of them may be provided on the TFT substrate 100. In addition, the respective spacers do not have to have the same height over the front circumference, and may have a configuration in which a part of the height is lowered. Moreover, although the structure which is disclosed by the same structure about 3 sides other than the terminal part 150 side and makes the structure of the terminal part 150 side different from the said 3 sides is disclosed, it is not necessarily limited to it. The configuration may be different from at least two sides adjacent to the terminal portion 150 side. According to the configuration of the liquid crystal display panel adjacent to the side facing the side of the terminal portion 150, all or a part of the wall-like spacer 10, the outer sealing material 41, and the outer wall-like spacer 11 is provided. May be In addition, when the side on which the terminal portion is formed is two sides, the side on which the terminal portion is formed may be different from the side on which the terminal portion is not formed.
