てはガラス繊維が用いられている。A spacer 6 is interposed between the pair of light-transmitting substrates to keep the cell thickness constant. Glass fiber is used as the material for the spacer 6.

る。However, as liquid crystal display devices become larger, highly accurate cell thickness uniformity is required, and large dot matrix liquid crystal display devices such as super twisted nematic type and 2N type super twisted nematic type , spacers that are plastic beads are used.
このスペーサは、粒径精度が3σ=0.35μm程度の
粒径が6〜10μmの球体である。均一なセル厚を得る
ためにQ、3mm口程度の1絵素当たり5個〜20個の
スペーサが散布されている。This spacer is a sphere with a particle size of 6 to 10 μm and a particle size accuracy of about 3σ=0.35 μm. In order to obtain a uniform cell thickness, 5 to 20 spacers are dispersed per pixel with a width of about 3 mm.
スペーサの材料として現在数も多く利用されているもの

ルムアルデヒド縮1体である。Divinylbenzene crosslinked polymers and benzoguanamine-formaldehyde condensation monomers are currently widely used as spacer materials.
透光性基板2a、2bはシール部材5で封止され、液晶
7が充填される。透光性基板2a、2bの外方向側表面
には偏光板1a、lbが配設される。Transparent substrates 2a and 2b are sealed with a seal member 5 and filled with liquid crystal 7. Polarizing plates 1a and lb are disposed on the outer surfaces of the transparent substrates 2a and 2b.
発明が解決しようとする課題
このような先行技術”では、スペーサ6は有機化−合物
から成り、比抵抗が大きいので、静電気によって容易に
帯電する。Problems to be Solved by the Invention In this prior art, the spacer 6 is made of an organic compound and has a high specific resistance, so it is easily charged by static electricity.
たとえば、透光性基板2a、2bの外方向側表面に配設
された偏光板1a、lbの保護フィルムを剥離するとき
に静電気が発生する。この静電気は金属、人間の手など
の導電体を通して放電する。For example, static electricity is generated when the protective films of the polarizing plates 1a and lb disposed on the outer surfaces of the transparent substrates 2a and 2b are peeled off. This static electricity is discharged through conductors such as metals and human hands.
このとき、静電気の放電経路に位置するスペーサに静電
気が放電せずに帯電する。At this time, the spacer located in the static electricity discharge path is charged with static electricity without being discharged.
このようにスペーサが帯電しているので、液晶表示装置
に駆動電圧を印加したときに、スペーサの周囲の電界が
変化し、スペーサの周囲の液晶のしきい値電圧が下がる
。このため、スペーサの周囲の液晶は、他の液晶よりも
低い電圧で駆動する。Since the spacer is charged in this way, when a driving voltage is applied to the liquid crystal display device, the electric field around the spacer changes and the threshold voltage of the liquid crystal around the spacer decreases. Therefore, the liquid crystal around the spacer is driven at a lower voltage than other liquid crystals.
この結果静電気の放電経路に位置するスペーサ周囲の液
晶において、表示品位の劣化が見られるとう問題が生じ
ている。As a result, a problem arises in that display quality is degraded in the liquid crystal around the spacer located in the electrostatic discharge path.
本発明の目的は、スペーサの帯電による表示品位の低下
を防止した液晶表示装置を提供することである。An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal display device that prevents deterioration in display quality due to charging of spacers.

徴とする液晶表示装置である。Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device in which a plurality of granular spacers are interposed between a pair of substrates to form a space, and this space is filled with liquid crystal. This is a liquid crystal display device characterized in that the specific resistance of the surface is approximately the same as that of the liquid crystal.

値電圧が下がることが防がれる。Function According to the present invention, the specific resistance of at least the surface of the spacer and the specific resistance of the liquid crystal are approximately the same. Therefore, the generated static electricity does not charge only the spacer, but is dispersed in a negative manner.The dispersed static electricity is discharged through the electrodes and the like. This prevents the threshold voltage from decreasing in the liquid crystal around the spacer as in the conventional case.

するスペーサの他に少なくとも表面の比抵抗が液晶の抵
抗をほぼ同程度のスペーサであってもよい。A spacer 6 is interposed between the pair of light-transmitting substrates to keep the cell thickness constant. This spacer 6 is made by mixing a conductor into the material of the spacer 6 during manufacture so that its resistivity is approximately the same as that of the liquid crystal. First, a spherical spacer is produced by mixing carbon with an organic compound such as a divinylbenzene crosslinked heavy body or a benzoguanamine-formaldehyde condensate. For example, during suspension polymerization of divinylbenzene crosslinked polymer, a few percent of the particle size is 0.
.. It is manufactured by mixing carbon with a diameter of about 0.01 μm. While the specific resistance of the liquid crystal filled in the liquid crystal display device is 2×101oΩcm, the specific resistance of this spacer is 101oΩc.
It is about m. In this way, in addition to a spacer having a similar resistivity to the inside, a spacer may be used in which the resistivity at least on the surface is approximately the same as that of the liquid crystal.

電気を印加しても表示品位の劣化は発生しなかった。As shown in Table 1, in typical prior art liquid crystal display devices, the specific resistance of the spacer is large, so when a voltage of 300 V is applied, the display quality is already affected by the liquid crystal around the spacer, which is located in the electrostatic discharge path. Deterioration was detected. On the other hand, in the liquid crystal display device of one example of the present invention, since the specific resistance of the spacer and the specific resistance of the liquid crystal were approximately the same, no deterioration in display quality occurred even when 10 kV of static electricity was applied.

As shown in FIG. 4, in the prior art liquid crystal display device, the spacer is charged and the electric field around the spacer is changes and lowers the threshold voltage of the liquid crystal around the spacer, resulting in a reduction in display quality along the electrostatic discharge path. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, in the liquid crystal display device of the present invention, the display quality is significantly improved.
