Abstract

PURPOSE:To inject a liquid crystal material having a uniform compositional ratio over a whole area of a liquid crystal cell surface by injecting liquid crystals into the inside of the liquid crystal cell while holding the temp. of the liquid crystal material and the cell for display at above the highest temp. among transition temps. to the Iso phase (Liquid phase, random phase, isotropic phase) of each constituting molecule. CONSTITUTION:When a liquid crystal material is to be injected into an injection port of the liquid crystal cell, the temp. (T) of the liquid crystal material is held at above the highest temp. among the transition temps. to Iso phase of each liquid crystal molecule constituting a liquid crystal material, and the temp. of the liquid crystal material and the liquid crystal cell are held at above (T) during injection. By this method, the whole constituting material forms Iso phase, so the liquid crystal cell is filled with a liquid crystal material having a compositional ratio being uniform over the whole area of the cell surface.

Detailed Description of the Invention Field of Application of the Invention The present invention relates to a process of injecting a liquid crystal material into a cell during the manufacturing process of a display device using a liquid crystal exhibiting ferroelectric properties. This paper proposes a method for injecting a liquid crystal material with a uniform composition ratio into a liquid crystal material.

``Prior Art J'' Many liquid crystal materials exhibiting ferroelectricity have the characteristic that the state of the material differs depending on the temperature range.

Cry phase a-→3 @(: phase←→SmA phase a---*
Not only a single lso phase liquid crystal has such characteristics, but also a mixture of multiple types of materials exhibits a similar phase transition as a whole, although the transition temperature is slightly different from that of a single material.

液晶注入方法も公知になっている。
Furthermore, the viscosity of the materials in each phase is different, and liquid crystal injection methods that utilize this are also known.

(Patent Application No. 60-175192) ``Problem to be Solved by the Invention J However, although a mixed liquid crystal material consisting of multiple types exhibits composite characteristics as a whole, unlike a single substance, there are certain types of liquid crystal materials at their transition temperatures. It was found that the temperature range has a wide range and is unclear.This temperature range is due to the fact that there are multiple types of constituent molecules. It was found that this is due to the SmA phase and phase mixing occurring.

When a liquid crystal material with such characteristics is injected using an injection method that utilizes the viscosity difference between each phase (Japanese Patent Application No. 6O-175192), the material that can take the Iso phase at low temperatures has a low viscosity, so it is injected first. Injected into the cell, constituent materials with a high Iso phase transition temperature become difficult to inject, and in the liquid crystal cell,
It has been found that the result is a display device with a different composition ratio of liquid crystal materials. This means that the driving conditions for the liquid crystal cells are different across the entire surface, indicating that uniform display cannot be achieved by the same driving method when driving these cells.
