Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve light shielding and insulating characteristics by forming light shielding filters and transparent electrodes on the inside surfaces of >=2 sheets of transparent substrates which hold a liquid crystal layer therebetween and face each other and incorporating the fine particles of carbon and org. pigments into the light shielding filters. CONSTITUTION:The fine particles of the carbon are dispersed into the photosensitive acrylic resin and further the org. pigments adjusted to a black color are dispersed therein to form the material for the light shielding filters. A glass substrate 1 is used as a transparent substrate and patterned transparent electrodes 2 are formed on the surface thereof. The surface thereof is coated with this material and the required parts are irradiated with light and are thereby cured to form the light shielding filters 3. The substrate is thus obtd. Another transparent substrate 5 formed with the transparent electrodes 4 on the inside surface is disposed to face this substrate and a liquid crystal 6 is inserted between the substrates. The liquid crystal display device of a normally black TN system is thus produced. The light shielding and insulating characteristics are improved in this way.

<Conventional technology> TN (twisted nematic) using birefringence of liquid crystal
As shown in Figure 2, the electro-optical characteristics of display systems such as 5TN (Super Twisted Nematic) and 5TN (Super Twisted Nematic) have a transmittance of 16 when a non-selection signal is applied than a transmittance of 15 when no voltage is applied. small. Therefore, when pixels are configured and a non-selection signal is applied, the display contrast of the display device deteriorates due to slight light leakage between pixels to which no voltage is applied.

In order to eliminate the above-mentioned light leakage, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 3, a metal light-shielding film 13 was formed on the transparent substrate 11 corresponding to between the pixels. Since the metal film is conductive, the transparent electrode 12 for forming the pixel was formed after forming the insulating film 14 on it. This causes display defects and deteriorates display quality. There is also a method of forming a light-shielding filter on a transparent electrode, but if a light-shielding material made of fine carbon particles dispersed in a resin has sufficient light-shielding properties, the insulation properties will deteriorate, resulting in poor display performance.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The light-shielding filter for a liquid crystal display device of the present invention has a light-shielding filter and a transparent electrode on the inner surface, and a liquid crystal display consisting of two or more transparent substrates facing each other with a liquid crystal layer sandwiched therebetween. The light-shielding filter for a device is characterized in that the light-shielding filter contains carbon fine particles and an organic pigment.

As shown in FIG. 1, a glass substrate 1 was used as a transparent substrate, and a patterned transparent electrode 2 was formed on the surface. The above-mentioned material was coated thereon, and the necessary portions were irradiated with light to be cured, thereby forming a light-shielding filter 3 and using it as a substrate. The pattern width of the light blocking filter was approximately 50 μm. Another transparent substrate 5 having a transparent electrode 4 formed on its inner surface was placed opposite to this substrate, and a liquid crystal 6 was sandwiched therebetween to fabricate a normally-black TN type liquid crystal display device. The light-shielding filter is insulating, and there were no problems such as electrical shorts or leaks between electrodes that were seen when using conductive filters such as metal.

The display device described above has a display contrast ratio of 1:30, and a display contrast ratio of 1 when there is no light-blocking filter.

Example 2 In Example 1, the liquid crystal display method was a normally white TN method. If there is no light-blocking filter, light leaks between pixels, so the display contrast ratio is 1:10.
That's about it. When a light shielding filter was used, the transmittance when high voltage was applied was sufficiently low, so that a display contrast ratio of 1:100 or more could be obtained.

As in Example 1, a glass substrate was used as a transparent substrate, and a patterned transparent electrode was formed on the surface. The above-mentioned material was coated thereon using an offset printing method and then thermally cured to form a light-shielding filter to obtain a substrate. The pattern width of the light blocking filter is approximately 200μm.
And so. Another transparent substrate with transparent electrodes formed on the inner surface is placed opposite to that substrate, and normally black TN is used with the liquid crystal in between.
We created a liquid crystal display device using this method. The light-shielding filter is insulating, and there were no problems such as electrical shorts or leaks between electrodes that were seen when using conductive filters such as metal.

The display device manufactured as described above had a display contrast ratio of 1:30, which was a significant improvement in display quality compared to the display contrast ratio of 1:15 when no light-blocking filter was used. By using a bright light source and a color filter film on the back, a display similar to that of an LED or fluorescent display can be obtained, but by using any color filter film, any color display can be achieved. .
