Description of the invention (i) Background of the invention 1. Field of the invention: The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device and a method for manufacturing the same. The present invention particularly relates to an inexpensive liquid crystal display device having superior display quality and a simple manufacturing method therefor. 2. Relevant technical description: TN mode liquid crystal display devices are used in a variety of applications (for example, flat displays for personal computers, word processors, amusement devices, and televisions; or using the shutter effect Display panels, windows, doors, or walls). The viewing angle characteristics of the TN mode liquid crystal display device are described with reference to FIGS. 32A to 32C. 32A to 32C are sectional views showing alignment states of liquid crystal molecules in a TN mode liquid crystal display device. Fig. 32A shows a state where no voltage is applied to the liquid crystal. Fig. 32B shows a state where a voltage is applied to the liquid crystal to display a gray scale. Fig. 32C shows a state where a saturated voltage is applied to the liquid crystal. Yin Jia, a Consumers Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (please read the precautions on the back before writing this page). In the Γ Mode LCD device, as shown in Figures 32A to 32C, when a voltage is applied to the substrate 1 When the liquid crystal layer 3 is between 2 and 2, the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer are aligned. If the liquid crystal molecules are aligned in the TN mode, the apparent transmittance of the liquid crystal molecules when viewed from the direction A is different from that observed from the direction B in the gray state shown in FIG. 32B. As a result, orientation dependence of the viewing angle is generated (for example, when the observer observes in different orientations A and B, the display contrast is significantly different). In order to improve the orientation dependence of viewing angle characteristics, a liquid crystal display device with a wide viewing angle mode is proposed, in which liquid crystal molecules are oriented in at least two directions in one pixel. The improvement of viewing angle characteristics in the wide viewing angle mode liquid crystal display device is shown in FIG. 1 _______________- 4 -____ This paper size iiifl _ @ National standard rate (CNS) (21GX297) Chu " Α7 Β7 464779 V. Description of the invention (2) 32D to 32F. Figs. 32D to 32F are cross-sectional views showing the alignment state of liquid crystal molecules in a liquid crystal display device with a wide viewing angle mode. Fig. 32D shows a state where no electricity is applied to the liquid crystal. Fig. 32E shows a voltage applied to the liquid crystal for display. The state of the gray scale. Fig. 32F shows a state where a saturated voltage is applied to the liquid crystal as shown in Fig. 32D. In a wide viewing angle mode liquid crystal display device, the liquid crystal layer 3 has a liquid crystal region 8 and a polymer region 7 surrounding the liquid crystal region. In such a liquid crystal display device, in the grayscale display state shown in FIG. 32E, the liquid crystal molecules 9 in the liquid crystal region 8 are oriented symmetrically (eg, concentrically, radially, and spirally) in the circle about the axis 10. Therefore, The average transmittance of liquid crystal molecules observed in self-alignment A and the apparent transmittance observed in self-alignment B are averaged to make them substantially equal. As a result, the orientation dependence of a specific viewing angle is higher than that of a TN mode liquid crystal display device. The known special cases of the wide viewing angle mode liquid crystal display device include the following seven types of liquid crystal display devices. The first type of liquid crystal display device is shown in Figs. 32D to 32F. Such liquid crystal display devices are polymerized by including the liquid crystal elements. A liquid crystal area surrounded by an object area (such as a polymer wall). In addition, the liquid crystal display device does not require a polarizing plate or orientation processing. In this liquid crystal display device, the birefringence of the liquid crystal is used to electrically control the transparent state and the opaque state. "In this liquid crystal display device, the normal light refractive index of the liquid crystal molecules is basically equal to the supporting medium (the polymer in the polymer region). Therefore, the liquid crystal display device displays a transparent state when the liquid crystal molecules are uniformly aligned under an applied voltage, and The astigmatism state is displayed when the liquid crystal molecules are arbitrarily oriented without applying a voltage. The manufacturing method of this type of liquid crystal display device-________ 5 This paper size is applicable to Chinese National Standards (CNs) Α4 格格 {210X297 公 484} (Please read the back Note again, write this page] Order printed by the Central Consumers Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 464779 _ B7_____ 5 2. Description of the invention (3>) A mixture of liquid crystal and a photo-curable resin or a thermosetting resin is injected between the liquid crystal elements, and the resin in the mixture is cured to configure the liquid crystal 'to form a liquid crystal region in the resin (polymer wall). This method is disclosed in Japanese National Patent Publication No. 61-502128. In addition, Japanese Published Patent Publications No. 4_338923 and No. 4-212928 disclose another technique for obtaining a wide viewing angle mode, in which a polarizing plate is located in a liquid crystal display device. Both sides have their polarization axes orthogonal to each other. The second type of liquid crystal display device is a non-scattering type and uses a polarizing plate. This liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal region including a plurality of functional regions surrounded by a polymer, which are formed by phase separation of a mixture of liquid crystal and a photocurable resin (Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 5-27242). In this liquid crystal display device, the orientation state of each functional region of the liquid crystal region is assigned by the polymer formed by the phase separation 'to an arbitrary state. As a result, since the directions of raising the liquid crystal molecules in each functional region are different from those in other functional regions under the applied voltage, Δ n.d is averaged 'so that the apparent transmittance observed from any direction becomes equal. Therefore, 'the viewing angle characteristic of the gray scale is improved. The second type of liquid crystal display device has a thin film formed of a crystalline polymer having a spherical structure on the substrate surface. In this liquid crystal display device, the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal region are oriented using the axisymmetric orientation of the spherical structure to adjust the force to obtain a wide viewing angle display mode (Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 08496). In a fourth type of liquid crystal display device, an alignment film is applied to a substrate without performing an alignment process such as rubbing to orient the liquid crystal molecules arbitrarily (Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 6-194655). _____—__- 6- This paper scale is applicable to China National Slope (CNS) (Executive Magic)---- (Please read the precautions on the back before writing this page) Printed by the cooperative 464779 A7 ______B7 V. Description of the invention (4) In the third and fourth types of liquid crystal display devices, because the liquid crystal molecules in the picture elements are oriented in different orientations, it is easy to generate conversion lines and damage the contrast. In order to prevent images A conversion line is generated in the absence, and a fifth type of liquid crystal display device has been proposed. In this type of liquid crystal display device, the liquid crystal molecules in the picture element are oriented axially symmetrically. For example, the applicant in R Patent Publication No. 7_12〇728 A liquid crystal display device is proposed, which is manufactured by irradiating a liquid crystal element containing a liquid crystal material and a photo-curable resin with light (for example, irradiating the liquid crystal element with light through a photomask) in a controlled manner. In this liquid crystal display device The liquid crystal molecules are oriented symmetrically (for example, spirally) in the pixel region with no axis applied. 'When a voltage is applied to the liquid crystal molecules, the spiral orientation is transformed into an isotropic state. As a result, the viewing angle characteristics are greatly improved. In the sixth type of liquid crystal display device, the axisymmetric alignment of the liquid crystal molecules is achieved by an orientation process (for example, an axisymmetric narrow groove is formed in the substrate) (referred to as this publication patent publication No. 6_2659). Nos. 2 and 6.324337). The fifth type of liquid crystal display device is a concept with poor practicality. In the sixth type of liquid crystal display device, it is 'difficult to control the pretilt of liquid crystal molecules. Therefore, it is easy to generate conversion lines' and the axis is symmetrically oriented. The stability is insufficient. Printed by the consumer cooperation of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (Please read the notes on the back before writing this page) The seventh type of liquid crystal display device has a so-called ASM structure. In this type of liquid crystal display device, A liquid crystal element including a liquid crystal material and a photo-curable resin is irradiated with light under a change in temperature and an applied voltage according to a specific rule. Therefore, the liquid crystal molecules in the picture element obtain an axisymmetric orientation (for example, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication Nos. 6.301015 and 7-120728) However, if the liquid crystal molecules are aligned with the axis symmetry by the aforementioned technology, the wheel symmetry orientation pumping cannot be fully controlled. Therefore, the liquid crystal molecules are axisymmetrically set ----- 7 -___ The paper size is Lai Zhongϋ g] 家 标 _ {CNS) (2 丨 GX 297 mm) 9 9 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Α7 Β7 5. Description of the invention (5) The orientation axis is tilted, or the orientation axis is shifted. The problem of the axis shift will be described with reference to Figs. 33A and 33B. Figs. 33A and 33B show when the liquid crystal element is tilted under a cross polarizer. Observe the state with a polarizing microscope. Figure 33A shows the case where the axis is not shifted. Figure 33B shows the case where some axes are shifted. Comparing Figures 33A and 33B, it is found that when the axis is shifted, the average transmittance in the pixel is different. For other pixels, when observing the overall screen, roughness was found. In addition, the area of the pixels that appear black increases when viewed from a different viewing angle. As described above, in the conventional liquid crystal display device, the position of the orientation axis whose axis is symmetrically oriented cannot be fully controlled. In addition, in conventional liquid crystal display devices, even if the liquid crystal molecules have an axis-symmetric orientation with an orientation axis that cannot fully control the position (for example, the liquid crystal element needs to be illuminated by changing the temperature according to a specific rule and applying electric power), it still needs to be complicated. System of law. In other words, the conventional liquid crystal display device has problems of high cost and insufficient control of the orientation axis. Therefore, there is a need for a liquid crystal display device that does not require a complicated manufacturing method (ie, an inexpensive liquid crystal display device) and can precisely control the orientation axis position of liquid crystal molecules (ie, a device that has superior display quality (such as superior viewing angle characteristics without thick chains).

Orientation near the bottom of the shaped part is parallel to the plane of the substrate, the liquid crystal molecules are formed along the concave part to be oriented symmetrically with respect to the axis, and the bottom or near is the central axis of the axisymmetric orientation. As a result, no complicated method is required (for example, The light is irradiated under the condition that the temperature is changed and the voltage is applied according to specific rules), so the axisymmetric orientation of the liquid crystal molecules can be easily obtained. In addition, since the bottom of the concave shape or the vicinity thereof is the central axis of the axisymmetric orientation, the For each pixel to form a predetermined shape of a concave portion at a predetermined position, it is easy to obtain a uniform axisymmetric orientation in the entire screen. Therefore, a substrate having a concave portion is used to obtain a uniform and uniform material at a low manufacturing cost.

Description of the invention (15) According to the present invention, A concave portion is formed in a thin film on the substrate. The film having the concave portion may be formed of any material, provided that it is transparent so that the concave portion can be formed therein. -Generally, a photoresist is used because both the film and the concave portion can be easily formed. Alternatively, a concave portion may be formed in the color filter, as described below. Method for Forming a Concave Part This concave part is generally formed by at least one of the following four methods. The first method includes forming a film for forming a concave portion on a substrate and pressing the film with a mold having a predetermined concave or convex surface (for example, a mold having a convex portion having a circular or elliptical cone shape). A step of forming a predetermined concave portion at a predetermined position of the film. The film for forming the concave portion may be formed of a thermosetting insulating material, a thermoplastic insulating material, or a photosensitive insulating material. The film used to form the concave portion is formed by any known method. The film thickness is preferably about 1 to about 3 microns, and more preferably about 2 microns. It is preferable to perform pressing under heating. The heating temperature may depend on the material to be used to form the film of the concave portion ', but about 180 ° C to 220 ° C is preferable, and about 200 ° C is more preferable. The first method includes stacking a multilayer film that is circular or oval when viewed from the normal direction of the substrate on the substrate so that the film closer to the substrate has a larger area and is formed in a concave portion having a step in the periphery. The step of forming a film covering the concave shape to form a concave portion having a smooth surface and a bottom portion between adjacent convex portions (such as an anti-circular cone or an anti-ellipsoid cone). The second method includes forming a thin film made of photosensitive material on the substrate. ____- 18- This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (2l0X297) ~~ * Please read the back Note on this page, write this page) Order 4 6 4 7 7 9 A7 ____ B7 V. Description of the invention (16) — film, the film is exposed through a scale mask with a different transmittance scale, and the film is formed into a picture Step of forming a concave portion (such as an inverse cone or inverse ellipse) in the membrane. The fourth method includes the step of forming a color layer of a color filter by photosensitive lithography using a color resist. In this step, the color layer is irradiated with light through the photomask, so that the color resist corresponding to the central portion of the pixel is not cured, and a depression having a v-shaped cross-section is formed to form in the central portion of the pixel of the color layer. A predetermined concave portion. In this case, when a light-shielding layer (such as a black matrix (hereinafter referred to as BM)) surrounding the color layer is formed at a position higher than the color layer, a cover layer is formed on the upper layer, and the cover layer is formed in the portion corresponding to the depression. Has a concave portion at the bottom. The diameter of the recess opening is preferably 10 micrometers or less. The recess can penetrate the color layer and let light penetrate the color layer. As a result, color purity is impaired.

The concave portion formed in this way has a smooth surface. Therefore, a concave portion can be formed, whose vertical profile is a curve, and the gradient continuously changes on the boundary between the pixel portion and the non-pixel portion. As a result, since the liquid crystal molecules on the boundary between the pixel portion and the non-pixel portion have no alignment defects, it is possible to prevent the contrast from being broken due to the conversion line under the applied voltage. Driving method The driving method of the liquid crystal display device of the present invention is not particularly limited. The liquid crystal display device can be driven, for example, by a simple matrix driving method and an active matrix driving method such as a-Si TFT, p-Si TFT, and MIM. A suitable method may be selected from these driving methods according to the characteristics required for the liquid crystal display device. -19-____ This paper size is applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications < 210X297 mm) Printed by the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Consumer Cooperatives, printed 464773 kl _______B7____ 5.

Second, two polarizing plates are adhered on both sides of the manufactured element, and the polarizing axes of the polarizing plates are orthogonal to each other to manufacture a liquid crystal display device. The manufactured liquid crystal display device is used under an applied voltage. Observation with a polarizing microscope. As a result, the observation shows that no conversion line is generated under the applied voltage, and a good black display is obtained.

In the display device, a concave portion is formed so that the gap between the elements in the center of the liquid crystal region is maximized and the element gap at the end of the liquid crystal region is minimized. As a result, the axis of the liquid crystal molecules is symmetrically oriented at the center of the liquid crystal region. For each pixel, an axisymmetric orientation is formed around the center of the pixel. In addition, because the obtained liquid crystal display device has a satisfactory axisymmetric orientation, the viewing angle is significantly wider than that of a conventional liquid crystal display device. The viewing angle in the vertical direction is 60. Or larger, the horizontal viewing angle is 60 ° or larger, and the contrast is 10. In this example, as shown in FIG. 8A, it is desirable that two substrates face each other so that the bottom of each concave portion is in the direction of the substrate normal. Observations are consistent, but slight shifts are acceptable. In other words, even if the bottom of one of the concave portions is slightly moved toward the substrate surface relative to the bottom of the other concave portions, an axisymmetric orientation can still be achieved. Embodiment 3 describes another case of a pair of substrates having concave portions at the same time. In this example, as shown in Fig. 8B, the liquid crystal display device includes a pair of substrates which are adhered so that the bottom of the concave portion of one substrate is opposed to the top of the concave portion of the other substrate. This liquid crystal display device was manufactured as follows. A substrate including an inversely tapered concave portion was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1. On the other hand, a substrate including a convex surface of a cone was produced using a mold having a concave shape and a convex shape opposite to those used in Example j.

Description of the Invention (In this example, a substrate with radial narrow grooves in each concave portion is used as the upper substrate, and a substrate with concentric narrow grooves in each concave portion is used as the lower substrate. However, the upper and lower substrates can be similar. In addition, the shape of the narrow grooves formed in the concave portion is not particularly limited. The prerequisite is that the private symmetrical orientation of the liquid crystal molecules can be achieved. For example, spiral grooves and radiation can be formed. And concentric grooves. Depending on the shape of the grooves, liquid crystal molecules can be oriented in the liquid crystal region, for example, radially, concentrically, or spirally. In addition, 'only one of the pair of substrates can be used for each concave portion. A substrate having a groove. Example 5 describes a case where a concave portion is formed by the second method. In detail, a multilayer film having a circular or oval shape when stacked from the substrate normal direction is stacked on the substrate. The film close to the substrate has a large area, and a convex portion having a step in the periphery is formed. After that, a thin film is formed to cover the convex portion. Therefore, in this example, a concave portion having a smooth surface and a bottom portion between adjacent pixels (for example, an inverse cone or an inverse elliptical cone) is formed. A liquid crystal display device was manufactured as follows. A substrate on which a TFT (thin film transistor) is formed (hereinafter referred to as a TFT substrate) and a counter substrate on which a color filter is formed are prepared. A photoresist containing a spacer with a weight of 5/0 and a diameter of 0'4 microns was applied to a counter substrate, which was patterned using a photomask, as shown in Figs. 2A and 2B. Next, a resist film made of the resist material as in Example 1 was formed on the patterned substrate. Subsequently, use a different direct -------------- * 28-This paper size applies to the Chinese national standard (CNS) A4 size (2IOX297) (Please read the precautions on the back first (Fill in this page again)-, = * Γ Printed by the Central Standard of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Masaharu Consumer Cooperative Co., Ltd. 464779 A7 B7 V. Description of the Invention (26) The photomask of the round light-shielding part (slanted part) forms the resist film 10A to 10C. In these photomasks, a photomask having a small light-shielding portion is used first. Then, a pattern 'is formed using the photomask shown in FIG. A substrate having a stepped convex portion in the perimeter is shown in Figs. 12A and 12B. The top of the convex portion corresponds to the non-pixel portion 'and the bottom thereof corresponds to the center of or near the pixel portion. In addition, Patterning using a photomask also keeps the spacer only in the non-pixel portion. Subsequently, the same resist as the convex portion is used to form a thin film on a substrate having a stepped convex portion as shown in FIG. 12B. By forming the film, the stepped convex portion becomes flat, and the pixel portion and The boundary between the pixel portions is flattened 'to obtain a substrate with a suitable anti-conical concave portion. It is better to have a smooth curve defining a concave portion on the boundary between the pixel portion and the non-pixel portion. This is because of the boundary The orientation angle of the liquid crystal molecules can be continuously changed with the continuous change of the curve defining the concave portion on the boundary between the pixel portion and the non-pixel portion. Secondly, according to the same manner as in Example 1, the TFT substrate and the aforementioned The substrate of the concave part is adhered in a way.

Description of invention (27) In the case of a liquid crystal display device, 'the rough surface was not seen on the entire screen. In addition, no conversion line appeared and a high contrast was obtained. Example 6 A liquid crystal element was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 5, except that a mixture of the following was used. 0'05 grams r · 684 (manufactured by Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd.); 1.9 grams liquid crystal material ZLI-4792 (manufactured by Merck & Co., Ltd .; containing 0.4% by weight of S-811) ; And 0.0025 g of a photopolymerization initiator (Irgacure 651, manufactured by Ciba Geiger). In other words, a liquid crystal element is manufactured using a mixture containing 5% by weight or less of a polymerizable substance. Next, the liquid crystal element was irradiated with ultraviolet rays according to the manner of Example 2. In the produced liquid crystal element, since the mixture contains a small amount of polymerizable substance ', a polymer wall is not formed substantially, and a polymer film is formed on the substrate surface, as shown in FIG. The liquid crystal molecules are aligned symmetrically with respect to the axis for each pixel. In addition, no rough spots were seen on the entire screen, and the contrast under applied voltage was satisfactory. Embodiment 7 A case where a concave portion is formed by a third method will be described below. Specifically, a thin film made of a photosensitive material is formed on a substrate, and the film is exposed through a graduated mask having a different light transmittance to form a pattern. Therefore, a concave portion (for example, an inverse cone or an elliptical concave portion) is formed in the film β. The liquid crystal display device of this example is manufactured as follows. The spacer (4.5 micrometers in diameter) to maintain the gap between the elements was dispersed on a glass substrate having ITO at a density of about 40 spacers / mm2.

Therefore, a substrate having an oval concave portion as shown in Figs. 16A to 16C was prepared. In a photomask with a graduated pattern, the light transmittance of the central part is 1000 / 〇, and the light transmittance of the part corresponding to the end of the pixel is 00 / 〇 β. In the middle part, the light transmittance Change step by step. The photomask can be manufactured by step-wise etching. Next, a thin film is formed on a substrate having a concave portion to obtain a main substrate. Secondly, an alignment film is applied on another substrate produced before or after the aforementioned substrate is manufactured. Adhesion includes the substrate of the pair of positive films and the substrate obtained previously. Then, the mixture as used in Example 1 was injected between the adhered substrates, and ultraviolet rays were irradiated at 3.0 mM / cm2 to polymerize a polymerizable material (ie, monomer). Observation of the produced liquid crystal element with a polarizing microscope revealed that the liquid crystal molecules were aligned symmetrically to the axis. In addition, the position of the orientation axis was fixed at the center of the pixel, and no significant shift was found in any pixel. Moreover, no roughness was seen. # As described in Example 1, a liquid crystal element was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1. The concave portions were not formed on the substrate in different places.

In addition, visual inspection showed extremely thick seams. Embodiment 8 describes a case where two or more (two in this example) concave portions are provided in one pixel. The liquid crystal display device of this example is manufactured as follows. A spacer (4.5 m in diameter) for maintaining a gap between the elements was dispersed in a glass substrate having ΓΓ0 in the same manner as in Example 7. After that, a photoresist (OMR83, manufactured by Tokyo Ohka Kogyo Co., Ltd.) was applied, exposed, and a pattern was formed. Subsequently, a photoresist (V-259PA, manufactured by Nippon Steel Chemical Co., Ltd.) was applied to the substrate and exposed through a graduated photomask as shown in FIG. Thus, a substrate having two inverse conical concave portions in one pixel (ie, two axisymmetric centers in one pixel) is prepared. Next, the obtained substrate and a pair of substrates manufactured before or after the aforementioned substrates are adhered.

The predetermined pixel on the description of the invention (30m) forms a color layer corresponding to R, G and B. In addition, BM is formed on the non-pixel portion using a black resist. Secondly, as shown in FIG. 19B, a coating agent containing a thermosetting resin (epoxymethylpropionate) is applied on this substrate to form a coating layer, at a temperature lower than the curing temperature of the thermosetting resin (this An example is removal of the solvent contained in the coating agent at 90 °). Secondly, as shown in FIG. 20A, a mold having circular ridges for each pixel is pressed onto the substrate having the coating layer, and heated to a curing temperature under pressure (180 ° C in this example) ^ In addition, As shown in Figure 20B, the mold is released. As a result, a cone-shaped concave portion is formed in the coating. In the present invention, operability can be further improved by applying a material having superior mold release property to a mold. In this example, a release material (manufactured by Cytop, Ashahi Glass Co., Ltd.) was applied to a mold and cured. Next, as shown in FIG. 21, a transparent substrate made of IT0 (a mixture of indium oxide and tin oxide with a thickness of 1,000 angstroms) was formed on the obtained substrate. In addition, an insulating layer (Si02) (not shown) is formed on the upper layer. Comparative Example 2 A color filter (B) of Comparative Example 2 was manufactured as follows. A glass substrate (7059, manufactured by Corning Industries) having a smooth surface was used as a mold instead of the mold used in Example 9 to obtain a color filter having a smooth surface. This color filter can be used for STN-LCDs that require smoothness. An example of the measurement of the surface shape of the color filter of this example is shown in FIG. 22.

Description of the invention (33) mM / cm2 irradiated with ultraviolet rays for 30 minutes to further solidify. The obtained liquid crystal element was observed with a polarizing microscope, and it was found that in the liquid crystal element using the color filters of Examples 9 to 12, the position of the orientation axis was precisely controlled for each segment, as shown in FIG. In other words, the axis of axisymmetric orientation does not shift significantly in the pixel, and no roughness is found. However, in the liquid crystal element using the color filter of Comparative Example 3, a pixel having an axisymmetric orientation was not obtained, and the display was noticeably rough. In particular, in the gray state and elevation angle, apparently coarse sugar β appears. It has been found that when using a color filter having a concave portion, such as the color filters of Examples 9 to 12, 'axisymmetric orientation is obtained spontaneously without applying a voltage, It is traditionally used to obtain a symmetrical orientation, and only injects a mixture of liquid crystal material and polymerizable material (photocurable monomer). In addition, in addition to the operations described in this example, by using the general operation to obtain axisymmetric orientation; a better axisymmetric orientation β can be obtained. For example, in addition to the operations shown in this example, a liquid crystal element containing the mixture can be used. The mixture is heated to a temperature at which the mixture has an isotropic phase, or a predetermined voltage may be applied to the liquid crystal element. A better axisymmetric orientation is thus obtained. The mechanism, advantages, and disadvantages for general operation to obtain axisymmetric orientation are detailed below. If the mixture is heated to a temperature at which the mixture is isotropic (the mixture is thermally transferred from the liquid crystal phase to the isotropic phase), the liquid crystal phase 19 is easily maintained at the center of the image and is surrounded by the isotropic phase 18, such as This is shown in Figure 26. When the operation to obtain axisymmetric orientation is performed in this state, it is better to move the axisymmetric orientation axis to the center of the pixel because the thermal stability of the center of the liquid crystal region is the highest when the axisymmetric orientation axis is used. When cooling in this state, the liquid # (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Order

Description of Invention ()-34 The 7 area grows with the axis remaining in the central part of the pixel. Therefore, the axis symmetry is oriented at the center of the pixel. Using the operation to obtain the axisymmetric orientation, although the axis position of the axisymmetric orientation can be placed near the central part, it is difficult to accurately control the axis position. That's why, in order to control and place the axisymmetric orientation # precisely at a predetermined position, a specific point is required. Therefore, it is particularly effective to make the concave portion at a predetermined position in the center region of the pixel.

First, as shown in FIG. 27A, a color layer is formed on a substrate using a color resist. Next, as shown in FIG. 27B, light is irradiated through a photomask to form a substantially V-shaped depression on the top portion of the color layer. If a positive resist is used as the color layer, as shown in FIG. 27A, the part of the photomask corresponding to the outer area of the pixel and the center of the pixel (the part where the V-shaped depression is to be formed) is transmitted, and the other parts are blocked. . On the other hand, when a negative resist is used as the color layer, the part of the photomask corresponding to the outer area of the pixel and the central part of the pixel is shielded from light, while the other parts are transparent. This type of photomask can be applied with film adhesion and color Resist method.

Invention Explanation (35) The shape of the part of the photomask corresponding to the central part of the pixel (the part where the v-shaped depression is to be formed) is not particularly limited, and various shapes can be used. The shape of this part is preferably a circular or nearly circular shape (Substantially circular, such as a polygon, such as a hexagon or octagon with round dots.) The size of the portion is preferably, for example, a maximum opening of 10 microns or smaller, where the shape is substantially circular. When the size is When it is larger than 10 microns, the depression can penetrate the color layer to allow light to penetrate the color layer and damage the color purity. If the photomask is used, the photomask is close to the color layer, and the size and opening shape of the depression correspond to the photomask It is the same as the central part of the pixel. The depth of the depression is smaller than the thickness of the color layer so as not to penetrate the color layer. Secondly, as shown in FIG. 27C, a BM is formed as a light-shielding layer. It is higher than the color layer. In order to form the bm, it is better to use an effective material such as a black resist as the material of the BM. The order of forming the BM and the color layer is not important. If the BM is formed after the color layer is formed, the pre-formation can be used The colored layer is used as a mask, and the BM is formed by exposing from the back side. Therefore, the number of photomasks is reduced. Next, 'apply a coating agent to form a coating layer having a concave portion t as shown in FIG. 27D'. Remove the coating layer as necessary. The solvent contained in it. Then a transparent electrode is formed on the cover layer. If necessary, an insulating layer is formed. The cover layer has been described previously. The formed cover layer has the desired shape, and the part on the BM is higher than the color layer. Part of the colored layer corresponds to the bottom of the bowl. The bottom serves as a specific point. According to the conventional method using the photomask shown in FIG. 28, it is necessary to form a colored layer and form a depression on the upper layer.

Description of the invention (36) 'Example, a color layer and a depression can be formed at the same time. Therefore, a depression with a desired cross section can be obtained, which uses a photomask with a desired shape without increasing the number of steps Therefore, the method of this example has high industrial applicability. The present invention provides a structure required for accurately positioning an axisymmetric orientation axis without forming an axisymmetric orientation in a pixel. In other words, it can be used in a color device. In one pixel, a plurality of axisymmetric orientations are formed according to the method of Embodiment 8. In embodiment 8, a plurality of axisymmetric orientations are formed in one pixel on a substrate. In this case, a photomask for forming a color layer is used. There are light-shielding portions and light-transmitting portions required to form a plurality of concave portions in a single pixel. Example 14 Example 13 is described in detail below. First, a color filter was prepared as follows. A negative-type color resist (CG2000 'CR2000 and CB2000, manufactured by Fuji Hunt Electronics Technology Co., Ltd.) was used to form color layers r, G, and B corresponding to each pixel on a glass substrate (thickness: 1.1 mm). When forming a color layer, a photomask having a light-shielding portion in a non-pixel portion and a pixel center portion is used. Moreover, in this photomask, the diameter of the light-shielding portion in the central portion of the pixel is 5 m. Therefore, a substantially V-shaped depression is formed in the top portion of the obtained color layer. Next, a negative black resist (CKS142, manufactured by Fuji Hunt Electronics Technology Co., Ltd.) was used to form BM on the non-pixel portion of the substrate. The BM is 0.4 microns higher than the color layer. A coating agent (V259PA, manufactured by Nippon Steel Chemical Co., Ltd.) is applied to a substrate, and a color layer and BM have been formed on the substrate.

Thus, a substrate having a color filter having a concave portion was prepared. On the other hand, a counter substrate is manufactured as follows. A resist wall (OMR83, manufactured by Tokyo Ohka Kogyo Co., Ltd.) is formed on the edge of the pixel with a resist material. The resist wall contains beads that keep the thickness of the element constant, so that the surface of the beads does not exceed the resist step.

Description of the Invention (38) Comparative Example 4 A liquid crystal element was manufactured according to the method of Example 14, except that a photomask having no light-shielding portion in the center portion of the pixel was used. Comparative Example 5 A liquid crystal element was manufactured according to the method of Example 14, except that a photomask having a diameter of 12 m in the light-shielding portion in the center portion of the pixel was used. Comparative Example 6 A liquid crystal element was manufactured according to the method of Example 14, except that a photomask having a diameter of 15 m in the light-shielding portion in the central portion of the pixel was used. The liquid crystal elements of Examples 14 and 15 and Comparative Examples 4 to 6 were observed using a polarizing microscope. As a result, in the liquid crystal elements of Examples 14 and 15, the axis position was precisely controlled for each pixel. When there is no pixel, the orientation axis of the axisymmetric orientation is largely shifted. On the other hand, in the liquid crystal element of Comparative Example 4, the axis position could not be controlled and the display was extremely rough. In addition, in the liquid crystal elements of Comparative Examples 5 and 6, the depression in the central portion of the picture element penetrates the color layer, which reduces the color purity. Therefore, according to the fourteenth and fifteenth embodiments, it is possible to precisely control the position of the shaft with respect to the orientation axis. As a result, the roughness when the viewing angle is changed can be reduced, and a wide viewing angle mode with uniformity and high contrast can be obtained. In addition, since the liquid crystal display device can be simply manufactured without increasing the number of conventional manufacturing steps, it has superior cost performance.
