ついて述べる。Next, a method for manufacturing the film substrate liquid crystal display device of the present invention will be described.
上記スペーサは、乾式および/または湿式法によって基
板上に散布される。A粉末と8粒子は、混合して同時に
散布したり、それぞれ別々に同一基板上あるいは別々の
基板上に散布することが可能である。The spacers are distributed on the substrate by dry and/or wet methods. The A powder and the 8 particles can be mixed and sprayed at the same time, or they can be sprayed separately on the same substrate or on different substrates.
本発明においては、どちらか一方の基板にのみ接着固定
されるB粉末に特徴があり、次の2つの方法によって、
片面にのみ接着固定させることができる。The present invention is characterized by the B powder being adhesively fixed to only one of the substrates, and by the following two methods:
It can be glued and fixed on only one side.
まず第一の方法は、B粉末の成分からなる球状粒子(以
下8粒子という)を、一方の基板上に散布後、熱風オー
ブン、加熱炉あるいはホットプレートによって8粒子が
散布された基板ごと加熱処理して該粒子を接着固定し、
室温まで冷却した後にもう一方の基板を密着させる方法
である。The first method is to spray spherical particles (hereinafter referred to as 8 particles) made of the B powder component onto one substrate, and then heat the substrate on which the 8 particles have been spread using a hot air oven, heating furnace, or hot plate. to adhesively fix the particles,
This is a method in which the other substrate is brought into close contact with the other substrate after cooling to room temperature.
この場合、8粒子は、直径が少なくとも液晶層の厚みよ
りも大きい粒子であり、この粒子が基板とともに加熱さ

た場合、充分な接着力を得るためには大きな粒子を必要
とし、したかって液晶表示セルの画質の低下を招くこと
になり、さらには、不定形の粉末では、分級等によって
粒子径を揃えることが困難である。In this case, the 8 particles are particles whose diameter is at least larger than the thickness of the liquid crystal layer, and when these particles are heated together with the substrate, they are melted and become hemispherical BiI powder. Here, if the 8 particles are not spherical but fibrous or amorphous powder obtained by mechanical crushing, large particles are required to obtain sufficient adhesion, and therefore, the size of the liquid crystal display cell increases. This will lead to a deterioration in image quality, and furthermore, if the powder is irregularly shaped, it is difficult to make the particle size uniform by classification or the like.
また、かかる加熱温度は、基板フィルムの耐熱性を考慮
して、1B、℃以下であることが好ましく、ざらには1
50’C以下であることが好ましい。In addition, considering the heat resistance of the substrate film, the heating temperature is preferably 1B, ℃ or less, and roughly 1B.
It is preferably 50'C or less.
この範囲で、上)ホの式(1)を満たすようにするため
に、8粒子として使用する樹脂の熱特性、即ち、ガラス
転移温度、熱流動点、軟化点、融点等を考慮して、適宜
熱処理条件を選定することが重要である。Within this range, in order to satisfy Equation (1) above, consider the thermal properties of the resin used as the 8 particles, that is, the glass transition temperature, thermal pour point, softening point, melting point, etc. It is important to select heat treatment conditions appropriately.
ざらに、Act>よび8粒子は、乾式および/または湿

示装置においては、そのフィルム基板の縁部にシール剤
がスクリーン印刷などによって塗設されるが、8粒子は

が好ましい。また、A粉末は、どちらの基板に散布され
てもよく、8粒子と同じ基板に散布する場合は、8粒子
と混合して同時に散布したり、それぞれ別々に散布した
り、8粒子が加熱処理された後に散布してもよい。Generally, the Act> and 8 particles are dispersed onto the substrate by dry and/or wet methods. In addition, in film liquid crystal display devices, a sealant is applied to the edges of the film substrate by screen printing, etc., but it is best to spray the 8 particles onto a substrate different from the substrate on which the sealant is applied. preferable. Powder A may be sprinkled on either substrate, and when it is sprinkled on the same substrate as 8 particles, it may be mixed with 8 particles and sprayed at the same time, or each may be sprayed separately, or the 8 particles may be heat-treated. It may be sprayed after it has been applied.
次に、第二の方法は、8粒子を一方の基板に散布し、も
う一方の基板を対向密着配置した後に加熱・加圧処理し
て所定の基板間隙まで溶融圧縮することにより、同時に
雨曇板間を該粒子で接着固定し、続いて該粒子と基板の
どちらか一方の接着面を剥離させる方法である。Next, the second method is to spread 8 particles onto one substrate, place the other substrate in close contact with each other, and then apply heat and pressure treatment to melt and compress it to a predetermined gap between the substrates. In this method, the particles are adhesively fixed between the particles, and then the adhesive surface of either the particles and the substrate is peeled off.
この場合、8粒子は、第一の方法と同様、直径が少なく
とも液晶層の厚みよりも大きい粒子であり、この粒子が
雨曇板により溶融圧縮されることにより、円筒状のB粉
末となるのである。In this case, as in the first method, the 8 particles are particles whose diameter is at least larger than the thickness of the liquid crystal layer, and when these particles are melted and compressed by the rain plate, they become cylindrical B powder. .
また、この方法においては、8粒子はどちらの基板に散
布してもよく、またA粉末もどちらの基板に散布しても
よい。Furthermore, in this method, the 8 particles may be sprinkled on either substrate, and the A powder may also be sprinkled on either substrate.
8粒子と基板のどちらか一方の接着面を剥離する方法と

しており、特に好ましい。8 The method of peeling off the adhesive surfaces of either the particles and the substrate is to deform the side substrates into an arch shape in the same direction before or after the liquid crystal is filled into the cell, and then apply tension to each adhesive surface. Examples include methods of applying stress and compressive stress. In addition, a type of shear stress is applied to the cell after the liquid crystal has been filled in by passing it through a rubber roller with a gap narrower than the cell thickness (either one made of rollers or one made of rollers and a flat surface is fine). This method is particularly preferred because it has advantages such as continuous processing, precise control of stress, and excellent reproducibility. .
また、本発明においては、第1の方法と第2の方法を組

8粒子を合わせもつフィルム基板液晶表示装置とするこ
とも可能でおる。Furthermore, in the present invention, by combining the first method and the second method, it is also possible to obtain a film substrate liquid crystal display device having eight cylindrical particles and eight hemispherical particles.
