Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method for producing a liquid crystal alignment additive and a liquid crystal display device having a polymer liquid crystal alignment additive, and more particularly to a substrate-free synergistic structure. The alignment layer produces a pretilt angle for the liquid crystal material. [Prior Art] The liquid crystal display has the characteristics of light weight and energy saving, and has replaced the traditional cathode ray tube (CRT) display. With the development of different sizes, it has been widely accepted by the market and applied to various types. Electronic products, including mobile communication devices, notebook computers, and home audio and video playback devices. However, compared with the aforementioned cathode ray tube display, the liquid crystal display still has problems such as limitation in viewing angle and delay in reaction time. In order to overcome the problems of the aforementioned liquid crystal display, a multi-domain Vertically Aligned Liquid Crystal Display (MVA-LCD) has been developed, such as the Patent No. 1308660 of the Republic of China, and the Patent No. 1299057 , Patent No. 1275883, No. 1249061, and the like. The multi-vertical alignment type liquid crystal display device utilizes a plurality of protrusion structures on the surface of the two substrates for accommodating the liquid crystal material, so that the liquid crystal material can generate a pretilt angle without being driven by a voltage. Thus, when a voltage is applied, each liquid crystal cell is deflected according to an electric field, and the liquid crystal cells of different deflection directions are complementary to each other to increase the viewing angle, thereby avoiding the conventional liquid crystal screen having different angles for the viewer to have different angles. Watch the problem of producing a difference in brightness and limiting the viewing angle. Generally, a multi-vertical alignment type liquid crystal display device relies on a plurality of protrusion structures on a substrate to cause a pretilt angle of a liquid crystal cell. Therefore, in 201121999, a protrusion structure is formed by a film deposition, a yellow light process, or a (four) process. Such a “come” will inevitably increase the complexity of manufacturing and the cost of processing. In addition, the protrusion structure disposed on the substrate also causes an obstacle to light penetration, which reduces the uniform brightness of the liquid crystal display. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION - The main object of the present invention is to remove the protrusion structure on the substrate in the multi-vertical alignment type liquid crystal display device, and to avoid the problem that the viewing angle is narrow due to the influence of the multiple vertical alignment ability after removing the protrusion structure. In order to achieve the above (four) 'the present invention, a polymer liquid crystal alignment additive is provided:

Referring to Figures 1-1 through 1-4, there is shown a schematic diagram of a manufacturing process of a preferred embodiment of a method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device of the present invention. First, in the case of manufacturing a multi-vertical alignment type liquid crystal display device, a first substrate 11 and a second substrate 12 are disposed correspondingly, as shown in FIG. 1_丨, the first substrate 11 and the second substrate. Each has a first surface that is parallel to each other and a second surface 121. The first substrate π and the second substrate 12 may be made of a transparent material such as glass, quartz or soft plastic (such as PET). The first substrate 11 and the first surface 111 of the second substrate 12 and the second surface 121 are respectively provided with a conductive layer 13 respectively. The conductive layer 13 is electrically connected to a thin film transistor (not shown). The conductive layer 13 may be made of a transparent conductive material such as indium tin oxide or indium zinc oxide. And an alignment layer 14 is disposed on the first surface 111 and the conductive layer 13 on the second surface 121 to induce alignment of the subsequently injected liquid crystal molecules. The material used for the alignment layer 14 may be polystyrene, polyamidiamine, polyethylene glycol, polyester, epoxy resin, polyurethane, polydecane, etc.; among them, polyimine (p) is preferred. 〇lyimide). Referring to FIG. 1-2, a liquid crystal composition is injected between the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12, and the liquid crystal composition comprises a liquid crystal material 20 and a south molecular liquid crystal alignment additive. The polymer liquid crystal alignment additive contains a polymerized monomer of the formula (I) or the formula (II). The liquid crystal composition may be implanted into the first substrate u and the second substrate 12 by an injection method or a One Drop Fill (ODF). Here, the weight percentage of the polymerizable monomer 3〇 of the formula (I) or the formula (Π) relative to the liquid = material 20 is 〇.i% _2 〇 / 〇. If the contrast property of the liquid crystal display is to be improved, a voltage may be selectively applied after the liquid crystal composition is injected between the first substrate U and the second substrate 12, and the voltage is driven by the thin film transistor. Producing, the liquid crystal material 20 in the liquid crystal composition and the polymerized monomer 30 of the formula (1) or (π) are correspondingly deflected according to the direction of the electric field to a predetermined direction as shown in FIG. 1 and the voltage applied in this step. Between M volts. When the liquid crystal composition is completely injected between the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12, the polymerization of the polymerized monomer 3 of the formula (1) or the formula (?) can be carried out directly or after a voltage is applied as described above. Since the polymerized monomer 3() of the formula (1) or the formula (II) of the present invention belongs to a monomer having a double-acrylic force, the polymerization can be carried out by irradiation with energy light 40, and the energy light can be selectively used as '201121999. Light or ultraviolet light 'The energy light 40 is irradiated with a intensity of 20.lmj/cm2. If it is desired to increase the rate of reaction of the polymerized monomer 30, or to reduce the irradiation time of the energy light, the polymer liquid crystal alignment additive further has a hardening initiator such as an ultraviolet curing agent. The polymerized monomer 30 of the formula (1) or the formula (II) after polymerization is formed on the first substrate π and the alignment layer 14 of the second substrate 12 to form a polymer liquid crystal alignment polymerization layer 31, as shown in FIG. 4" is shown. In order to avoid the unreacted reaction of the polymerizable monomer 30 of the formula (I) or the formula (II) in this step, the problem of image sticking of the liquid crystal display is caused, and the present invention can be selectively polymerized. The polymerization monomer of the formula (1) or the ruthenium (11) is heated on the alignment layer 14 to form a polymer liquid crystal alignment polymerization layer 31, and then the temperature of the polymerized monomer (3) or (3) is cured. Between 90 ° C and 160 ° C. In summary, the method for producing a liquid crystal alignment additive of the present invention and a liquid crystal display device having the polymer liquid crystal alignment additive described above mainly provides a formula (如) Or the polymerized monomer of the formula (11) is polymerized to form a molecular liquid crystal alignment polymerization layer, and the polymer liquid crystal alignment polymerization layer causes a pretilt angle of the liquid crystal material to achieve multiple vertical alignment effects, which is sufficient for the conventional substrate to be set. The protrusion structure can eliminate the process of forming the protrusion structure on the substrate, reduce the processing procedure and the manufacturing cost, and effectively improve the panel penetration due to the non-protrusion structure. A polymer liquid crystal alignment polymer layer is added outside the alignment layer to make the dark state of the panel darker and enhance the face-to-face ratio. Therefore, the invention is highly advanced and meets the requirements of the invention patent application, and the application is made according to law. The invention has been granted a patent as soon as possible. The above description of the present invention has been made in detail. However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to 201121999.
