Description

  Embodiments described herein relate generally to a liquid crystal display device.

  Liquid crystal display devices are used in various fields as display devices for OA equipment such as personal computers and televisions, taking advantage of features such as light weight, thinness, and low power consumption. In recent years, liquid crystal display devices are also used as display devices for various electronic devices such as mobile terminal devices such as mobile phones, car navigation devices, and game machines.

  The liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel configured by holding a liquid crystal layer between an array substrate and a counter substrate bonded together with a sealing material. This liquid crystal display panel includes a substantially rectangular active area for displaying an image. The sealing material is disposed so as to surround the active area.

  In the liquid crystal display panel having such a configuration, the sealing material spreads when the array substrate and the counter substrate are bonded together. The sealing material may spread through a narrow gap due to a capillary phenomenon. In particular, since the wiring drawn out from the active area crosses the sealing material, the sealing material tends to spread over the wiring having a narrower gap. The seal material spreading toward the active area may cause display defects such as pixel defects.

JP 2009-222911 A

  Considering the spread of the sealing material, it may be possible to prevent a display defect by ensuring a large interval between the active area and the sealing material, but it is difficult to meet the recent demand for narrow frame. In addition, in order to reduce the flow of the seal material, a crank portion is provided in the lead-out wiring, or the space between the array substrate and the counter substrate is widened to suppress the spread of the seal material. It is also conceivable to provide slits in the pattern.

  However, while the gap between the array substrate and the counter substrate is several μm, even if the wiring patterns are stacked, the thickness is only about 0.5 μm, and a more effective countermeasure is required. It was. In addition, when a slit is provided in the pattern of the colored layer, the colored layer at the end is cut into pieces, which may be peeled off from the substrate and deteriorate the yield.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a liquid crystal display device that avoids display defects such as pixel defects.

  Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 schematically shows a configuration example of a liquid crystal display device according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel 100 on a substantially rectangular flat plate. The liquid crystal display panel 100 includes a pair of substrates, that is, an array substrate (first substrate) 200 and a counter substrate (second substrate) 300, and a liquid crystal layer 400 held between the array substrate 200 and the counter substrate 300. ing.

And a pixel electrode 230 connected to the element 220.

  The gate line Y and the source line X are arranged so as to cross each other through an insulating layer. The switching element 220 is configured by a thin film transistor (TFT) including a semiconductor layer formed of, for example, amorphous silicon or polysilicon.

  The gate electrode 222 of the switching element 220 is connected to the gate line Y (or the gate electrode 222 is formed integrally with the gate line Y). The source electrode 225 of the switching element 220 is connected to the source line X (or the source 225 is formed integrally with the source line X).

The counter substrate 300 includes a counter electrode 330 that faces each of the plurality of pixel electrodes 230 in the active area 120.
In addition, the liquid crystal display panel 100 includes a connection part 131 disposed on the outer peripheral part 130 located outside the active area 120. The connection portion 131 can be connected to a driving IC chip or a flexible wiring board that functions as a signal supply source. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the connection portion 131 is formed on the extended portion 200 </ b> A of the array substrate 200 that extends outward from the end portion 300 </ b> A of the counter substrate 300.

  Each of the gate lines Y (1, 2, 3,..., M) arranged in the active area 120 is connected to the connection part 131 via the outer peripheral part 130. Similarly, each of the source lines X (1, 2, 3,..., N) is connected to the connection portion 131 via the outer peripheral portion 130.

Next, the structures of the array substrate 200 and the counter substrate 300 will be described in more detail.
As shown in FIG. 2, the array substrate 200 is formed using an insulating substrate 210 having light transmissivity such as glass. The gate electrode 222 of the switching element 220 is disposed on the insulating substrate 210 together with the gate line Y and the like. The gate electrode 222 is covered with a gate insulating film 240. The gate insulating film 240 is formed of, for example, silicon nitride (Si ₃ N ₄ ).

The semiconductor layer 242 of the switching element 220 is disposed on the gate insulating film 240. The semiconductor layer 242 is in contact with the source electrode 225 and the drain electrode 227 of the switching element 220. These source electrode 225 and drain electrode 227 are covered with a passivation film 244. The passivation film 244 is made of, for example, silicon nitride (Si ₃ N ₄ ).

  The pixel electrode 230 is disposed on the passivation film 244 corresponding to each pixel PX. The pixel electrode 230 is electrically connected to the drain electrode 227 of the switching element 220 through a contact hole formed in the passivation film 244.

  In a transmissive liquid crystal display panel that selectively transmits backlight and displays an image, the pixel electrode 230 transmits light such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZO). It is formed of a conductive material having a property. In a reflective liquid crystal display panel that selectively reflects external light to display an image, the pixel electrode 230 is formed of a light-reflective conductive material such as aluminum (Al) or molybdenum (Mo). Has been.

  The counter substrate 300 is formed using an insulating substrate 310 having optical transparency such as glass. In the color display type liquid crystal display device, the liquid crystal display panel 100 displays a plurality of types of pixels, for example, a red pixel PXR that displays red (R), a green pixel PXG that displays green (G), and blue (B). It has a blue pixel PXB.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the counter substrate 300 is a color filter layer 320 disposed for each pixel PX on one main surface (surface facing the liquid crystal layer) of the insulating substrate 310 in the active area 120. (R, G, B). These color filter layers 320 (R, G, and B) are formed of a plurality of colored resins that are colored red (R), green (G), and blue (B), respectively.

  That is, the counter substrate 300 includes a red color filter layer 320R made of a resin colored so as to transmit light having a red main wavelength corresponding to the red pixel PXR on the insulating substrate 310, and corresponds to the green pixel PXG. And a green color filter layer 320G made of a resin colored so as to transmit light having a green dominant wavelength, and further colored so as to transmit light having a blue dominant wavelength corresponding to the blue pixel PXB. A blue color filter layer 320B made of resin is provided.

  Columnar spacers SS (shown in FIG. 3) are arranged on the color filter layer 320 (R, G, B). The columnar spacer SS has its upper end in contact with the array substrate 200 when the array substrate 200 and the counter substrate 300 are bonded together, and maintains a predetermined gap between the array substrate 200 and the counter substrate 300.

  The counter electrode 330 is disposed on the color filter layer 320 so as to face the plurality of pixels PX in the active area 120. The counter electrode 330 is formed of a light-transmitting conductive material such as ITO or IZO.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the counter substrate 300 includes a convex portion 322 described later between the sealing material 110 and the active area 120.
The surfaces of the array substrate 200 and the counter substrate 300 are covered with alignment films 250 and 350 for controlling the alignment of the liquid crystal molecules contained in the liquid crystal layer 400, respectively. Optical elements 260 and 360 are provided on the outer surfaces of the array substrate 200 and the counter substrate 300, respectively. These optical elements 260 and 360 include a polarizing plate whose polarization direction is set in accordance with the characteristics of the liquid crystal layer 400.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 1, the sealing material 110 is disposed between the array substrate 200 and the counter substrate 300 so as to surround the substantially rectangular active area 120. The sealing material 110 is formed of a resin material such as a thermosetting resin or an ultraviolet curable resin, for example, and is applied to one of the substrates constituting the liquid crystal display panel 100, for example, the sealing portion 115 surrounding the active area 120 of the array substrate 200. The Thereafter, in a state where the other substrate, for example, the counter substrate 300 is disposed so as to face the array substrate 200, heating is performed or ultraviolet rays are applied while pressing the pair of substrates in a bonding direction. Thereby, the sealing material 110 is cured, and the array substrate 200 and the counter substrate 300 are bonded together.

  FIG. 3 shows a configuration example of the counter substrate 300 of the liquid crystal display device according to this embodiment. In the present embodiment, a convex portion 322 is disposed between the active area 120 of the counter substrate 300 and the seal portion 115. The convex portion 322 is desirably disposed so as to surround the active area 120, and is disposed at least near the corner of the counter substrate 300.

  The convex part 322 is formed of the same material as any of the color filter layers 320 (R, G, B). Note that the convex portion 322 is preferably formed of the same material as the thickest layer in the color filter layer 320 (R, G, B). Further, when the columnar spacer SS is disposed on a specific colored layer of the color filter layer 320 (R, G, B), it may be formed of the same material as the colored layer on which the columnar spacer SS is disposed. desirable.

  This is because the color filter layer 320 (R, G, B) has a different film thickness for each color, and when the columnar spacer SS is disposed on a specific colored layer, it is disposed on the thickest layer. This is because the height error of the columnar spacer SS is reduced by designing the height of the columnar spacer SS to reduce the gap unevenness. In the case shown in FIG. 3, since the columnar spacer SS is disposed on the blue color filter layer 320B, the convex portion 322 is formed of the same material as that of the blue color filter layer 320B.

Next, the power feeding structure from the array substrate side to the counter substrate side will be described in more detail.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the array substrate 200 includes a power supply wiring 500 for supplying a predetermined potential, for example, a common potential, to the counter electrode 330. The power supply wiring 500 includes a power supply pad 510, a common wiring 520, and a connection wiring 530.

  The power supply pad 510 is disposed at a corner portion outside the active area 120, that is, at a corner portion of the array substrate 200 positioned on the substrate end side with respect to the seal portion 115 where the sealing material 110 is disposed. The power supply pad 510 is opposed to the counter electrode 330 that extends to the substrate end side of the seal portion 115 in the counter substrate 300. Such a power supply pad 510 is disposed on the passivation film 244 and is formed of the same material as the pixel electrode 230. The power supply pad 510 is exposed from the alignment film 250.

  The common wiring 520 is disposed between the seal portion 115 and the active area 120. The common wiring 520 is connected to the signal supply source through the connection portion 131 or directly, and is set to a common potential, for example.

  The connection wiring 530 intersects the seal portion 115 and electrically connects the power supply pad 510 and the common wiring 520. That is, the connection wiring 530 is disposed on the insulating substrate 210 and is formed of the same material as the gate line Y. The connection wiring 530 extends outside the seal portion 115 (that is, the substrate end side), and is electrically connected to the power supply pad 510 through a contact hole that penetrates the gate insulating film 240 and the passivation film 244. . The connection wiring 530 extends to the inner side (that is, the active area side) than the seal portion 115 and is connected to the common wiring 520 (or formed integrally with the common wiring 520).

  In the power supply wiring 500 having such a configuration, the conductive member 700 in contact with the counter electrode 330 is disposed on the power supply pad 510. That is, the power supply wiring 500 is electrically connected to the counter electrode 330 by the conductive member 700 through the power supply pad 510.

  In the array substrate 200, the thickness of the seal portion 115 from the insulating substrate 210 is substantially occupied by the thickness of the gate insulating film 240 and the passivation film 244 (including the thickness of the alignment film 250 in some cases). In the portion where the wiring 530 intersects, the thickness of the connection wiring 530 increases in addition to the thickness of these insulating films. Since the thickness of the seal portion 115 on the counter substrate 300 side is substantially uniform, the gap between the array substrate 200 and the counter substrate 300 is smaller in the portion where the connection wiring 530 intersects in the seal portion 115 than in other portions. .

  On the other hand, the sealing material 110 is applied to the seal portion 115, but the application speed is reduced at the corner portion where the connection wiring 530 intersects as compared with other straight portions, so that it is easily applied excessively. That is, the sealing material 110 tends to collect at the corners.

  For this reason, the applied sealing material 110 spreads due to the pressure applied when the pair of substrates are bonded together, and in particular, travels over the connection wiring 530 having a narrow gap and travels from the seal portion 115 toward the active area 120 side. Easy to spread.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the array substrate 200 includes the convex bodies 600 arranged in at least two rows between the active area 120 and the seal portion 115 on the connection wiring 530. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the convex bodies 600 form three rows substantially in parallel from the seal portion 115 toward the active area 120 side, and the first convex body 610 disposed at the most seal portion 115 side, It has the 2nd convex body 620 arrange | positioned from the 1 convex body 610 to the active area 120 side, and the 3rd convex body 630 arrange | positioned from the 2nd convex body 620 to the active area 120 side. That is, the first convex body 610, the second convex body 620, and the third convex body 630 are arranged in parallel in order from the seal portion 115 toward the active area 120. Thus, since the convex body 600 is laminated on the connection wiring 530, the thickness of the array substrate 200 from the insulating substrate 210 is increased as compared with other portions of the connection wiring 530.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, the convex portion 322 of the counter substrate 300 and the second convex body 620 of the array substrate 200 are arranged to face each other. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the gap G <b> 1 where the convex body 600 and the counter substrate 300 face each other is a gap G <b> 2 where the connection wiring 530 and the counter substrate 300 face each other between the columns of the convex body 600. Smaller than. As a matter of course, the gap G3 of the seal portion 115 where the connection wiring 530 and the counter substrate 300 face each other is larger than the gap G1 and is equal to the gap G2. A gap G4 at a portion where the second convex body 620 and the convex portion 322 face each other is further smaller than the gap G1.

  According to such a configuration, the sealing material 110 applied to the seal portion 115 is accelerated once toward the portion where the first convex body 610 and the counter substrate 300 that become the narrower gap (G1) face each other. Then, the speed is reduced at a portion where the connection wiring 530 and the counter substrate 300 face each other between the columns (between the first convex body 610 and the second convex body 620) forming the wide gap (G2). And the 2nd convex body 620 and the convex part 322 function as a bank (bank) which suppresses the breadth of the sealing material 110. FIG. For this reason, the sealing material 110 can be stopped substantially at the front portion of the second convex body 620 and the convex portion 322.

  That is, the sealing material 110 that is transmitted over the connection wiring 530 having a narrow gap and spreads from the seal portion 115 toward the active area 120 side is formed by the first convex body 610 and the second convex body 620. The sealing material 110 can be spread along the row of the first convex body 610 and the second convex body 620 by utilizing the capillary phenomenon generated between the rows. Furthermore, the second convex body 620 and the convex portion 322 prevent the sealing material 110 from entering the inner side (sub active area 120 side) of the second convex body 620 and the convex portion 322. As a result, the sealing material 110 can be prevented from entering the active area 120 side.

  That is, the spread of the sealing material 110 to the active area 120 side than the second convex body 620 is suppressed. Therefore, the convex bodies 600 are arranged in at least two rows between the seal part 115 and the active area 120, and the convex parts 322 are arranged so as to face the convex bodies 600 arranged on the active area 120 side. ing. In addition, when the convex bodies 600 are arranged so as to form three or more rows, a portion that functions as a bank is increased, so that a higher spread suppressing effect of the sealing material 110 can be expected.

  Moreover, when the convex bodies 600 are three or more rows, the convex portions 322 may be arranged in two or more rows so as to face the convex bodies 600 on the active area side. Further, the convex portion 322 is preferably arranged so as to face the convex body 600 on the active area 120 side with respect to the outermost convex body 600, but the active area 120 with respect to the outermost convex body 600. If it arrange | positions at the side, the convex part 322 and the convex-shaped body 600 do not need to oppose. At this time, in the direction in which the sealing material 110 spreads, the positions where the convex body 600 and the convex portion 322 are arranged are separated from each other, and a portion where the gap between the array substrate 200 and the counter substrate 300 becomes large (becomes a gap G2). By providing, the convex part 322 functions as a bank and can prevent the sealing material 110 from entering.

  As described above, it is possible to suppress the spread of the sealing material 110 toward the active area at the portion where the power supply wiring 500 and the sealing material 110 intersect. For this reason, it becomes possible to suppress generation | occurrence | production of the display defect resulting from the sealing material 110. FIG. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a good display quality and to suppress a decrease in manufacturing yield.

  Further, when the convex portion 322 is formed by a plurality of colored layers with slits in the color filter layer 320 (R, G, B), for example, a part of the convex portion 322 is cut near the corner portion of the active area 120. The yield may be deteriorated due to peeling from the counter substrate 300. In this embodiment, since the convex part 322 is formed of the same material as that of the single colored layer, a part of the convex part 322 is not shredded in the vicinity of the corner of the active area 120, and the yield is deteriorated. I will not let you. Furthermore, the convex part 322 can be formed simultaneously when patterning a single colored layer. For this reason, a separate manufacturing process for forming the convex part 322 is unnecessary, and the manufacturing cost is not increased.

Next, a more specific structure of the above-described convex body 600 will be described.
The convex body 600 has a linear main body portion facing the power supply pad 510 with the seal portion 115 interposed therebetween. That is, the first convex body 610 extends linearly in a direction that intersects the row direction H and the column direction V (for example, a direction that forms approximately 45 ° with respect to each of the row direction H and the column direction V). A main body 611 is provided. Similarly, the second convex body 620 has a main body 621 that is substantially parallel to the main body 611. Further, the third convex body 630 has a main body portion 631 substantially parallel to the main body portion 621.

  These main body portions are substantially orthogonal to the width direction of the applied sealing material 110 (that is, the direction in which the sealing material 110 spreads). According to such a configuration, it is possible to effectively suppress the spread of the sealing material 110.

  Moreover, the convex body arrange | positioned among the convex bodies 600 at the seal | sticker part 115 side is formed in the substantially U shape. That is, the first convex body 610 is connected to the main body portion 611 and extends in the row direction H along the seal portion 115, and connected to the main body portion 611 in the column direction along the seal portion 115. And a second side portion 613 extending to V. Similarly, the second convex body 620 is connected to the main body part 621 and has a first side part 622 that is substantially parallel to the first side part 612 and a second side part 621 that is connected to the main body part 621 and substantially parallel to the second side part 613. Side portion 623. Note that the third convex body 630 is a straight line formed by only the main body portion 631, but is not limited to this shape, and may be formed in a substantially U shape similarly to the first convex body 610 and the like. .

  The first convex body 610 and the second convex body 620 may have different lengths in the main body portion and the side portion. Moreover, the 1st convex body 610 and the 2nd convex body 620 may be the same shape in which each main-body part and side part become the same length.

  The above effect can be obtained even if the length of the side portion of the second convex body 620 is shorter than the length of the side portion of the first convex body 610 parallel to the side portion, but a longer one is more preferable. For example, the length of the first side portion 622 of the second convex body 620 is preferably longer than the length of the first side portion 612 of the first convex body 610. Similarly, the length of the second side portion 623 of the second convex body 620 is preferably longer than the length of the second side portion 613 of the first convex body 610. Thereby, the expansion to the active area side of the sealing material 110 can be suppressed more effectively.

  According to such a configuration, it becomes possible to suppress the spread of the sealing material 110 not only by the main body portion but also by the side portions, and even if an excessive amount of the sealing material 110 is applied by the corner portions, It is possible to prevent the sealing material 110 entering the active area side from entering the active area side by going off from the area and entering the active area side.

Each of the convex bodies 600 described above is formed using members that constitute the array substrate 200. That is, the convex body 600 is formed on the gate insulating film 240 and formed of the same material as the semiconductor layer 242 and the same material as the source line X and the like stacked on the first layer 601. The second layer 602 formed.
For this reason, a separate manufacturing process for forming the convex body 600 is not required, and the manufacturing cost is not increased.

  Further, the convex body 600 having such a configuration is formed simultaneously with patterning of the semiconductor layer and the source line in the array substrate 200, and has a structure in which a plurality of layers are laminated, and each layer has a substantially equivalent size. Unlike the case where it is formed by patterning of a resin material, it is difficult to form a taper shape and can be installed even in a small area. For this reason, it is possible to obtain a function of suppressing the spread of the sealing material 110 without hindering the narrowing of the frame.

  In addition, each of the convex bodies 600 described above is disposed so as to form a gap with the counter substrate 300. Further, the convex portion 322 is disposed so as to form a gap between the convex portion 322 and the array substrate 200. That is, the convex body 600 provided on the array substrate 200 does not contact the counter substrate 300, and the convex portion 322 provided on the counter substrate 300 does not contact the array substrate 200. For this reason, a path through which the liquid crystal material can pass can be ensured between the convex body 600 and the counter substrate 300, and a spread suppressing function of the sealing material 110 can be obtained without hindering liquid crystal injection. It becomes.

  Further, by disposing the convex portion 322 so as to face the convex body 600, it is possible to effectively prevent the sealing material 110 from entering the active area 120. Although the gap between the array substrate 200 and the counter substrate 300 is several μm, the thickness of the color filter layer 320 is about 0.5 μm even when the wiring of the array substrate 200 is laminated. Since (R, G, B) has a thickness of about 1 μm, the convex portion 322 functions more effectively as a bank for preventing the sealing material 110 from entering.

  Furthermore, in the above description, two or more rows of convex bodies 600 are provided at the corners of the array substrate 200, but the convex bodies 600 are omitted, and two or more rows of convex portions 322 are formed at the corners of the counter substrate 300. May be provided. Even in that case, since the thickness of the convex part 322 becomes larger than the thickness of the convex body 600, it functions as an effective bank, and the same effect as the said embodiment can be acquired. Furthermore, in this case, the seal material 110 is arranged by arranging one or more rows of convex bodies 600 so as to face the convex portions 322 arranged on the active area 120 side with respect to the convex portions 322 arranged on the outermost side. Can be more effectively prevented from entering the active area 120.

  Further, since the convex portion 322 is disposed so as to surround the active area 120, the bank that prevents the sealing material 110 from entering the active area 120 also at the corners other than the corners of the array substrate 200 and the counter substrate 300. It is possible to provide a liquid crystal display device that functions as the above and effectively avoids display defects such as pixel defects.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a liquid crystal display device that avoids display defects such as pixel defects.
