Abstract

PURPOSE:To evaporate the solvent of a polyimide high polymer film to maintain the uniformity of the film thickness and to prevent pinholing and sticking of dust by drying said film with hot air of 30-230 deg.C after coating said film on a glass substrate. CONSTITUTION:A cassette 1 contg. plural sheets of glass substrates 2 each coated thereon with a polyimide high polymer film is placed on rollers 3 and is fed into a dryer. The dryer consists of a blower 4, a heat source 5, a filter 6, a cover 7 and an evacuating duct 8 and is so devised as to obviate generation of dust. When the cassette 1 arrives at the dryer, the air blown from the blower 4 is heated to 30-230 deg.C, is removed of >=0.3mu dust by the filter 6 and is blown to the substrates 2 to heat and dry the oriented films. Evaporating gas is discharged through the duct 8.

Field-effect liquid crystal cells generally have transparent electrode patterns formed on top and bottom glass substrates, and after applying an alignment film on the top surface and performing alignment treatment, the top and bottom glass substrates are placed facing each other at a certain distance. Then, the peripheral parts of the upper and lower glass substrates are sealed with adhesive, liquid crystal is injected between the upper and lower glass substrates, and the holes are sealed.This alignment film is generally made of an organic polymer film. In particular, polyimide-based polymer films are often used because of their reliability, alignment stability, quality, etc.
