I 【先前技術】 習知配置於液晶晶胞兩面之偏光板,係在面板檢查合 格之液晶晶胞外侧使用黏接劑來黏貼。 因此以劃線器(scriber )所斷開(break )之液晶晶胞 每一個必須貼合於偏光板,使得作業性非常惡劣。 又在貼合時必須講求定位精度或密接強度之確保,氣 泡或灰塵混入之防止,靜電產生之防止等各種對策,在之 後之步驟為了使偏光板及面板之密接性強化,或除去其間 殘留之氣泡,則進行高壓蒼(autoclave)之處理等,其組 合在在都需要極多之時間及勞力。 因此,本發明之第一目的係提供一種LCD之偏光膜之 製造裝置,適用於塗敷二向色性染料之色漿以形成偏光膜 之技術,使得習知般花費極多時間及勞力來進行偏光板之 製作及黏貼作業並非必要。 又,在塗敷二向色性染料之色漿時,由二向色性染料 所成之超分子複合體受到剪切力(shear f0rce)而往一定 方向定向(alignment ),並產生染料分子規則排列(結晶 化)之偏光性能。 1224687 已定向之超分子複合體若與基板平行排列則為理想, 一般而δ ’已定向之超分子複合體之排列多少脫離此理想 之排列。 超分子複合體原來其超分子複合體之長軸方向就有在 特定方向呈一致之性質,而超分子複合體之排列方向則依 基板之表面狀態而定丨故在基板表面與超分子複合體間作 用之表面張力之大小或與超分子複合體之排列相關連之彈 性應變施(elastic strain energy)作用而變化。 在超分子複合體之表面張力比基板表面之臨界表面張 力為小之情形,由於在基板表面及超分子複合體間之作用 力較大’故超分子複合體在表面濕潤並擴展於基板表面, 使超分子複合體在基板上呈平行排列。 反之’超分子複合體之表面張力比基板表面之臨界表 面張力為大時,與在基板表面及超分子複合體間之作用力 比較’因於超分子複合體間之作用力較大,故超分子複合 體並不在表面擴展而是成為球形,使得超分子複合體在基 板成垂直排列。 又基板表面並非平滑時,超分子複合體之彈性應變能 則呈極小之狀態,亦即超分子複合體在無受到彈性應變之 方向排列。 超分子複合體是否與基板平行係依基板表面狀態,吸 著於基板表面之水分或氣體等之影響或超分子複合體與基 板接觸下其實際上效果之臨界表面張力之大小而變化,而 表面張力之大小及超分子複合體之定向關係則未必成立。 4 1224687 又基板會因LCD製造商之不同,使得表面彈性應變 之狀態有些微差異。 因此,塗敷於基板表面之超分子複合體並無法獲致 勻之定向,與理想之排列有偏差。 為了獲得均勻之定向,則有需要以何種方式在基板 面獲得定向各向異性(orientation anisotropic)。 i ' 因此本發明之第二目的係在適用塗敷二向色性染料 色漿以形成偏光膜之技術時,在基板表面保有定向各向 性,藉以獲得超分子複合體之均句排列狀態。 又習知之偏光板因配置於LCD之最表面,故對顯示 全體之顯示品質或耐濕性,耐熱性等會有極大的影響。 因此本發明之第三目的係提供一種新穎之液晶晶胞及其 法,在適用於塗敷二向色性染料之色漿以形成偏光膜之 術時,其可使偏光板之顯示品質或耐濕性,耐熱性等之 響降低。 【發明内容】 為達成上述目的,本發明係由以下所構成。 亦即,本發明之偏光膜之製造裝置,係將形成為濃 轉移型液晶之二向色性染料之水溶液作為色漿使用,沿 印刷方向使此色漿塗敷於具有多數微細溝之版而形成 膜,於是使此薄膜自版轉印(laminate )塗敷於基板以 成偏光膜,而可達成上述本發明之目的。 能 均 表 之 異 器 製 技 影 度 著 薄 形 1224687 又較佳是使前述二向色性染料之化學式如下式:I [Prior art] The conventional polarizing plates arranged on both sides of the liquid crystal cell are adhered with an adhesive on the outside of the liquid crystal cell qualified for panel inspection. Therefore, each of the liquid crystal cells broken by a scriber must be attached to the polarizing plate, which makes the workability very poor. In bonding, it is necessary to ensure the positioning accuracy or adhesion strength, prevent air bubbles or dust from entering, and prevent static electricity. In the following steps, in order to strengthen the adhesion of the polarizing plate and the panel, or remove the remaining Bubbles are treated with autoclave, etc. The combination requires a lot of time and labor. Therefore, a first object of the present invention is to provide a device for manufacturing a polarizing film for an LCD, which is suitable for the technology of coating a color paste of a dichroic dye to form a polarizing film, which makes it conventionally take a lot of time and labor to carry out It is not necessary to make and paste polarizing plates. In addition, when applying a color paste of a dichroic dye, a supramolecular complex formed by the dichroic dye is subjected to a shear force (shear f0rce) and is aligned in a certain direction, and a dye molecular rule is generated. Polarization performance of alignment (crystallization). 1224687 Oriented supramolecular complexes are ideal if they are arranged parallel to the substrate. Generally, the arrangement of δ 'oriented supermolecular complexes is somewhat out of this ideal arrangement. The supramolecular complex originally had the property that the major axis direction of the supramolecular complex was consistent in a specific direction, and the arrangement direction of the supramolecular complex was determined by the surface state of the substrate. The magnitude of the interfacial surface tension or the effect of the elastic strain energy associated with the arrangement of the supramolecular complex varies. In the case where the surface tension of the supramolecular complex is smaller than the critical surface tension of the substrate surface, due to the larger force between the substrate surface and the supramolecular complex, the supramolecular complex wets on the surface and spreads on the substrate surface. The supramolecular complexes are aligned in parallel on the substrate. Conversely, when the surface tension of the supramolecular complex is greater than the critical surface tension of the substrate surface, it is compared with the force between the substrate surface and the supramolecular complex. The molecular complexes do not expand on the surface but become spherical, so that the supramolecular complexes are arranged vertically on the substrate. When the surface of the substrate is not smooth, the elastic strain energy of the supramolecular complex is extremely small, that is, the supramolecular complex is aligned in a direction not subject to the elastic strain. Whether the supramolecular complex is parallel to the substrate depends on the surface condition of the substrate, the influence of moisture or gas absorbed on the substrate surface, or the critical surface tension of the actual effect of the supramolecular complex upon contact with the substrate. The relationship between the magnitude of the tension and the orientation of the supramolecular complex may not be true. 4 1224687 And the substrate will be slightly different due to the difference in LCD manufacturers. Therefore, the supramolecular complexes coated on the substrate surface cannot obtain a uniform orientation, which deviates from the ideal arrangement. In order to obtain a uniform orientation, there is a need to obtain an orientation anisotropic on the substrate surface. Therefore, when the technique of applying a dichroic dye paste to form a polarizing film is applied, the second object of the present invention is to maintain the directional anisotropy on the surface of the substrate to obtain the uniform arrangement state of the supramolecular complex. The conventional polarizing plate is disposed on the outermost surface of the LCD, and therefore has a great influence on the display quality, humidity resistance, and heat resistance of the entire display. Therefore, a third object of the present invention is to provide a novel liquid crystal cell and a method thereof, which can be used to apply a color paste of a dichroic dye to form a polarizing film, which can improve the display quality or resistance of a polarizing plate. Wetness and heat resistance are reduced. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To achieve the above object, the present invention is constituted as follows. That is, the manufacturing apparatus of the polarizing film of the present invention uses an aqueous solution of a dichroic dye formed as a thick transfer type liquid crystal as a color paste, and applies the color paste to a plate having a plurality of fine grooves along the printing direction.

The molecule is known as a flat oblong molecule with a water-soluble functional group s03-. These dyes can be used to make polarizing films even if used alone, but they are generally used in combination. It can be seen from the figure that the double bond exists in many places, and this shows the properties of dyes that are related to the absorption of light. The color paste is an aqueous solution of these dyes. If the concentration of the dye becomes higher, the part, that is, the plane part is piled up and starts to grow, forming a lyotropic (concentration-shifting) liquid crystal and becoming a shape. This condensate of liquid crystal molecules piled up in a rod shape is called a "super-complex", and a schematic diagram is shown in FIG. 3. An SO〆 group is located on the outside of the rod and is in contact with water. The aspect ratio of rod to length can reach i / uo. This ratio is presented in consideration of the fact that the supramolecular complex that can maintain an equilibrium state at the lowest energy stable place under the interaction of water with hydrophilic groups and hydrophobic groups will increase the viscosity at higher concentrations and become more positive. 6 〇 In the formula, in the large difference type, it can be used to mix the complex width of the hydrophobic solvent stick. Crystallized 10 1224687 phase. If the liquid crystal is subjected to a shear force, it is oriented as well known. Therefore, when the supermolecular complex of the liquid crystal is printed by the polarizing film manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, it is aligned with the printing direction, as shown in FIG. 4 (a). At first, it was considered as a random arrangement, but as shown in Figure 4 (b), as the solvent (water at this time) evaporates after drying, it becomes a more regular arrangement and becomes a crystalline film. 'i At this time, double bonds are present every second on the surface perpendicular to the printing direction. 'Therefore, light with an electric field in this direction is absorbed by the film, and the transmitted light becomes polarized light with an electric field in the printing direction. When the dried crystallized film is treated with an aqueous solution of BaCl2, in a short period of time, one molecule of SOT and one of the other molecules, S03 ·, react with one Ba + ion to produce a cross-linking reaction. As a result, it does not dissolve in water and the mechanical strength increases. This can make the subsequent steps easier. An example of the fine groove pattern is shown in FIG. 5. The fine grooves a are coated with a photoresist on the surface of the plate 1, and the dot-shaped convex portions b are raised by pattern exposure and etching to form concave portions and convex portions of the grooves. At this time, the discontinuous portion c of the convex portion b at this point causes the adjacent convex portions b to face each other and alternately arrange the phases of the adjacent convex portions b. The depth of the micro groove a is 20 to 30 μm, the interval between the adjacent convex parts b is 120 to 500 μm, and the length of the discontinuous part c is preferably 30 to 8 00 μm. In the pattern of 5 (a), the convex part b is formed in a raindrop shape in a plan view, and the length of the short axis is 30 to 70 μm, the length of the long axis is 100 to 1 000 μm, and the angle of the thin end before the tail part is 8 to 19 ° is preferred. 1224687 The short line is placed in the base line. The pattern in the 5th (b) pattern is to form the convex portion b in a plan view with a rod shape, the shaft length is 30 to 70 μιη, and the long axis length is 100 to 100 μιη. good. Next, the manufacturing method of the polarizing film which implements this invention is demonstrated. The manufacturing method of polarizing film is a coating film containing a supramolecular complex containing dichroic dyes spontaneously stacked into a rod, and a printing device or a coating device is used to give a shearing force at the same time as the + coating step to set a pretreatment In the previous step, an orientation process was performed on the surface of the glass substrate, so that the arrangement state of the supramolecular complex formed by the dichroic dye when coated on the glass substrate was a homogeneous molecular arrangement state. Orientation treatment is divided into a machine where a directivity defect corresponding to the size of the supramolecular complex is added to the surface of the glass substrate to give directionality, and a chemical substance attached to the surface of the glass substrate is given directionality.化 处理。 Processing. A method for imparting directivity to chemicals is a wiping method in a dry method and an air knife in a wet method. Fig. 6 shows a schematic diagram of mechanical processing. The mechanical treatment system uses the wiper used in the LCD manufacturing as shown in the figure. The cloth 8 such as rayon () is wound on the roller 7 of the wiping device, so that the roller 7-while rotating-will be placed on the table 5 Glass plate: move in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the roller 7. As a result, the surface of the glass substrate 6 is rubbed in a certain direction, and there are many fine grooves.

在界面有凹凸之情形 12 1224687 distortion )狀態,而已塗敷之超分子複合體則排列成彈性 應變能為極小之狀態。 其結果,由於溝及超分子複合體之相互作用,使得超 分子複合體之排列方位可與溝之方向一致。 因此,即使改變塗膜方向及擦拭處理方向,超分子複 合體之定向與塗膜方向為無關,但與擦拭處理方向一致。 i ' 在實施擦拭處理時,與習知無擦拭處理之情形比較, 偏光性能可提高最大約20%、。 由實驗的結果可知若塗膜(coating)方向A與擦拭處 理方向B之角度Θ越小則偏光性能越提高,在第8(a)圖 之θ = 0°,(塗膜方向A及擦拭處理方向B —致)增約2 0% , 在第8(b)圖之θ = 15。增約1〇% ,在第8(c)圖之θ = 30。 增約5% ,在第8 ( d)圖之θ = 45。則增約5% 。 偏光膜依使用者之要求不同有各種方向,因應各種要 求之超分子複合體則相對於玻璃基板6需以傾斜定向。 習知之不用擦拭處理的塗膜方法,如第9(a)圖所示, 使超分子複合體傾斜定向於玻璃基板6之情形,因無法變 更塗膜方向A,故有必要使桌台5旋轉並使玻璃基板6傾 斜0 然而,使桌台5旋轉時,會使桌台5傾斜,為了不使 桌台5傾斜則需要0.01mm以下之精度。此在桌台5之旋 轉裝置會產生極大的費用。 又,如第9(b)圖所示,與玻璃基板6比較桌台5較 大之情形,則使玻璃基板6傾斜,在全面塗敷塗膜液時, 13 1224687 塗膜液則自玻璃基板6超出,故需要每次洗淨、乾燥桌台 又如第9(c)圖所示,在玻璃基板6與桌台5為同樣 大小之情形,置放玻璃基板6之桌台5予以傾斜並塗敷塗 膜液時,在寬度方向必須之液量為不同,造成塗膜液之流 出調整變的複雜。 iIn the case where the interface has unevenness 12 1224687 distortion) state, the coated supramolecular complexes are arranged in a state where the elastic strain energy is extremely small. As a result, due to the interaction between the groove and the supramolecular complex, the orientation of the supramolecular complex can be aligned with the direction of the trench. Therefore, even if the coating film direction and the wiping processing direction are changed, the orientation of the supramolecular complex is independent of the coating film direction, but is consistent with the wiping processing direction. i 'When implementing the wiping treatment, compared with the case of the conventional non-wiping treatment, the polarizing performance can be improved by up to about 20%. From the results of the experiment, it can be seen that the smaller the angle Θ between the coating direction A and the wiping treatment direction B is, the higher the polarization performance is. In FIG. 8 (a), θ = 0 °, (coating direction A and wiping treatment. Orientation B—increase) increases by about 20%, and θ = 15 in Fig. 8 (b). Increased by about 10%, θ = 30 in Figure 8 (c). Increased by about 5%, θ = 45 in Figure 8 (d). It increased by about 5%. The polarizing film has various directions depending on the requirements of the user, and the supramolecular complex according to various requirements needs to be oriented in an oblique manner with respect to the glass substrate 6. The conventional coating film method without wiping treatment, as shown in FIG. 9 (a), when the supramolecular complex is oriented obliquely to the glass substrate 6, since the coating film direction A cannot be changed, it is necessary to rotate the table 5 The glass substrate 6 is inclined 0. However, when the table 5 is rotated, the table 5 is inclined. To prevent the table 5 from being inclined, an accuracy of 0.01 mm or less is required. This rotation of the table 5 would incur significant costs. In addition, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), when the table 5 is larger than the glass substrate 6, the glass substrate 6 is tilted. When the coating liquid is completely applied, the 13 1224687 coating liquid is from the glass substrate. If the glass substrate 6 is the same size as the table 5 as shown in Figure 9 (c), the table 5 needs to be tilted and When applying the coating liquid, the amount of liquid required in the width direction is different, which makes the adjustment of the outflow of the coating liquid complicated. i

本發明之塗膜方法,係超分子複合體之定向在擦拭處 理方向為一致,要改變擦拭處理方向相當簡單,故沒必要 使玻璃基板6傾斜,故不會發生上述問題。 在機械處理之情形,以人造絲系之布8擦拭處理時, 超分子複合體均顯示完全同樣之分子排列狀態。又,使布 8之材質變化為人造絲,尼龍,聚酯,聚乙烯,聚丙烯, 鐵氟龍(t e fl ο η )時,因極性等之差異則顯示各種不同之 定向性能0 因此,因塗膜液組成之差異要來靈活運用布8之材質 為所望。In the coating method of the present invention, the orientation of the supramolecular complex is the same in the wiping treatment direction. It is relatively simple to change the wiping treatment direction, so it is not necessary to tilt the glass substrate 6, so the above problems do not occur. In the case of mechanical treatment, when the rayon cloth 8 was wiped, the supramolecular complexes showed exactly the same molecular arrangement. In addition, when the material of cloth 8 is changed to rayon, nylon, polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, and Teflon (te fl ο η), various orientation properties are displayed due to differences in polarity and the like. Therefore, The difference in the composition of the coating liquid is expected to make flexible use of the material of cloth 8.

第7圖顯示化學處理之概念圖。 化學處理有濕式及乾式兩種方式,濕式係將玻璃基板 6浸於藥液,以沖洗或喷灑使沾上藥液,洗淨玻璃基板6, 並以氣刀付諸方向性乾燥之° 此時,以附有家庭用檫拭材料之海綿擦拭,其後,以 氣刀除去水亦可。 或者在家庭用濕式海綿加上清潔劑擦之,刷洗後以氣 刀除去水。 14 1224687 乾式係例如使硬脂酸溶 内乾燥之,將此布捲繞於滾 解於酒精之酒精溶液滲透 輪以擦拭處理坡壤基板6 於布 毛 ft ( felt ) 布係使用例如醫療用之紗布(gauze ),或 等硬質材質之物。 藉此,在玻璃基板6之表面因化學鍵結或分子間力所 致,而形成化學藥品之薄的定向層,在此定向層藉由氣刀 或擦拭處理來賦予定向各向異性。Figure 7 shows a conceptual diagram of chemical treatment. There are two types of chemical treatments, wet and dry. Wet method involves immersing the glass substrate 6 in the chemical solution, washing or spraying the solution with the chemical solution, washing the glass substrate 6, and drying it with an air knife. ° At this time, wipe with a sponge with a household wipe, and then remove the water with an air knife. Or wipe it with a wet sponge and detergent at home and remove it with an air knife after brushing. 14 1224687 Dry system, for example, dissolve stearic acid and dry it inside. Roll this cloth on an alcohol solution infiltration wheel rolled in alcohol to wipe and treat the slope substrate. 6 For cloth ft (felt). Gauze, or other hard materials. As a result, a thin alignment layer of a chemical is formed on the surface of the glass substrate 6 due to chemical bonding or intermolecular force, and the alignment layer is provided with directional anisotropy by air knife or wiping treatment.

其結果,超分子複合體接續著形成於破璃基板6表面 所形成定向層材料之定向性,而往一定方向排列。 具體而έ ’使非離子系之界面活性劑稀釋成1 〇 0 〇件並 塗於布上。以此布擦拭玻璃基板6表面,並使界面活性劑 之水溶液塗敷於一定方向。 之後,以乾布向同樣方向擦拭亦有效果。 或者,將玻璃基板6濕式洗淨並洗刷後,在濕潤之部 份或位置,使上述界面活性劑成為50〜100ppm之液加以塗 敷之,與水置換,其後以氣刀除去水。As a result, the supramolecular complexes are aligned in a certain direction following the orientation of the alignment layer material formed on the surface of the broken glass substrate 6. Specifically, the non-ionic surfactant is diluted into 1,000 pieces and coated on a cloth. The surface of the glass substrate 6 is wiped with this cloth, and an aqueous solution of a surfactant is applied in a certain direction. After that, it is effective to wipe with a dry cloth in the same direction. Alternatively, after the glass substrate 6 is wet-washed and washed, the above-mentioned surfactant is applied to a wet part or position to a solution of 50 to 100 ppm, and is replaced with water, and then the water is removed with an air knife.

在除去水時之氣體方向賦予剪切力來塗敷時則偏光性 能會提高。 界面活性劑係由疏水性之部分及親水性部分所成。而 親水性之聚乙二醇(分子量200〜20000 )具有與界面活性 劑同樣之效果。 又疏水性之硬脂酸為固體,若附於布上加以塗抹時則 與聚丙烯,鐵氟龍有同樣之傾向。 又以矽烷偶合劑之溶液處理玻璃基板6後,以氣刀除 15 1224687 去液體時,則有同樣效果。 又在以濕式處理之玻璃基板上6施予擦拭,亦有賦予 方向性之效果。 在第10圖顯示實施本發明之液晶晶胞之剖面圖。 在圖上顯示STN型等簡式矩陣方式之LCD之例。 液晶晶胞係在2片玻璃基板6之内側順次將透明電極 9’ SiO』10’偏光膜n,定向膜12加以層合並夹住液 晶材料13之薄層’使密封材料14圍繞在周邊而成晶胞 氣密封住之構成。 偏光膜11,係使二向色性染料之水溶液作為色漿使 用,將此色漿沿著印刷方向塗敷於具有多數細微溝之版以 形成薄膜’將此薄膜自版轉印塗敷以成膜。 液晶材料13之液晶分子係直接接觸於定向膜12,而 相田於液日日材料1 3層厚之晶胞間隔(ceu gap )則被間隔 件1 5之直徑所控制。 玻璃基板6若使用鹼性玻璃時,其鹼性成分易於在液 晶中溶出而招致對比度降低,並使畫質劣化。 因此’如圖示在透明電極9及偏光膜之間,或者在 玻璃基板6及透明電極9之間,形成Si〇2膜1〇且底塗 (undercoat )使玻璃基板6。 第11圖顯示實施本發明之液晶晶胞製法之步驟流程。 又在第1 2圖顯示液晶晶胞製法之步驟平面圖及步驟 剖面圖。 液晶晶胞首先在良好洗淨完之玻璃基板6上藉沈積法 16 1224687 (deposition )或潑滅法等來使 抗蝕劑材料使掩罩之圖案曝&, 圖案化,其後,除去抗餘劑材料 洗淨後,將對應於電極圖案 於透明電極9上。(步驟1〇2) IT〇膜成膜,在其上塗 並進行餘刻使透明電極 。(步驟1 0 1 ) 之Si〇2膜1 0藉印刷塗 敷9 敷 接著,在塗敷偏光膜以前以下膜表面附有界面活性 劑之布,進行擦拭處理等,並進行使偏光膜u之分子定向 更為良好定向用之前處理。(步驟1〇3)When a shearing force is applied to the gas direction when removing water, the polarization performance is improved. The surfactant is made of a hydrophobic part and a hydrophilic part. And the hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (molecular weight 200 ~ 20,000) has the same effect as the surfactant. Hydrophobic stearic acid is solid. When attached to cloth and applied, it has the same tendency as polypropylene and Teflon. After treating the glass substrate 6 with a solution of a silane coupling agent and removing the liquid with an air knife 15 1224687, the same effect is obtained. In addition, wiping the glass substrate 6 with wet treatment has the effect of imparting directivity. A cross-sectional view of a liquid crystal cell embodying the present invention is shown in FIG. An example of a simple matrix LCD such as STN is shown in the figure. The liquid crystal cell system is formed by successively layering a transparent electrode 9 'SiO' 10 'polarizing film n, an orientation film 12 on the inner side of two glass substrates 6, and sandwiching a thin layer of the liquid crystal material 13 to surround the sealing material 14 around the periphery. The unit cell is hermetically sealed. The polarizing film 11 uses an aqueous solution of a dichroic dye as a color paste, and applies the color paste to a plate having a plurality of fine grooves along the printing direction to form a film. membrane. The liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal material 13 are in direct contact with the alignment film 12, and the ceu gap of the 13-layer thickness of the Aita Yuri-ri material is controlled by the diameter of the spacer 15. When the glass substrate 6 is made of alkaline glass, its alkaline components tend to be eluted in the liquid crystal, which causes a decrease in contrast and deteriorates the image quality. Therefore, as shown in the figure, a Si02 film 10 is formed between the transparent electrode 9 and the polarizing film, or between the glass substrate 6 and the transparent electrode 9, and the glass substrate 6 is undercoated. FIG. 11 shows the flow of steps for implementing the liquid crystal cell manufacturing method of the present invention. Fig. 12 shows a plan view and a step sectional view of the liquid crystal cell manufacturing method. The liquid crystal cell is firstly exposed on the well-washed glass substrate 6 by a deposition method 16 1224687 (deposition) or a sputtering method, etc., and patterning the mask pattern, and then removing the resist After the agent material is washed, the electrode pattern corresponding to the electrode pattern is formed on the transparent electrode 9. (Step 102) A film of IT0 is formed, and a transparent electrode is formed by coating it thereon. (Step 10 1) The Si 0 2 film 10 is applied by printing 9 and then, before the polarizing film is applied, a cloth with a surfactant is attached to the surface of the lower film, a wiping treatment is performed, and the molecules of the polarizing film u are performed. Orientation is better with pre-treatment. (Step 10)

其次’在玻璃基板6之全面,使用形錢示偏光性之 膜之色漿,來印刷偏光m 11’或以賦予其他剪切力之塗膜 裝置來塗敷,其後並乾燥之。(步驟104) ' 在塗敷偏光膜11時,可藉棒塗膜機(barc〇ater),溝 槽式鑄模(slot die),版等施予剪切力,將偏光膜u之二 向色性染料所成之分子在一定方向定向。 又為使塗敷及乾燥穩定進行則比溫度2 3它,濕度6 〇 更高之情形為所望。Secondly, on the entire surface of the glass substrate 6, a color paste of a polarizing film is used to print polarized light m11 'or a coating device for imparting other shearing force is applied, and then dried. (Step 104) When applying the polarizing film 11, a shearing force can be applied to the polarizing film u by a bar coater, a slot die, a plate, or the like. The molecules formed by sex dyes are oriented in a certain direction. In order to stabilize the application and drying, it is expected to be higher than the temperature of 23 and the humidity of 60.

其後進行偏光膜U之穩定化,清洗,乾燥之q步驟 艮/成偏光膜11之色漿,溶媒為水故在塗敷步驟後,膜 P使為乾燥但與水接觸則膜會崩冑。因此,乾燥後為使其 不溶於水則要進行穩定化處理。 “穩疋化處理係使BaCl2成為8〜20wt%之水溶液,使偏 “膜11在該水溶液浸潰2〜丨〇秒處理。其後以純水清洗有 光膜11塗敷之玻璃基板6,將多餘之BaCh水溶液去掉, 17 以氣刀除去純水,自㈣至12(rc左右將玻璃基板6乾燥 ^使玻璃基板6之水分完全乾燥。藉由此步驟可使玻璃基 6全面具有偏光機能之薄膜在穩定於水之狀態下形成。 其-人,進行PI印刷及硬化。(步驟1 〇 6 ) ' pi㈣係、冑有機㈣所稀釋之聚酿亞胺溶液以苯胺 印刷裝置塗敷,在偏光膜"上印刷定向膜12之圖案。 硬化係在80°C前後之加熱溫度下使溶劑乾燥後,加以 焙燒而使聚醯亞胺完全硬化。Thereafter, the polarizing film U is stabilized, cleaned, and dried in steps q to form a color paste of the polarized film 11. The solvent is water. Therefore, after the coating step, the film P is made dry but in contact with water, the film will collapse. . Therefore, in order to make it insoluble in water after drying, a stabilization treatment is performed. The "stabilizing treatment is a treatment in which BaCl2 is made into an aqueous solution of 8 to 20 wt%, and the membrane 11 is immersed in this aqueous solution for 2 to 10 seconds. Thereafter, the glass substrate 6 coated with the light film 11 was washed with pure water, and the excess BaCh aqueous solution was removed. 17 The pure water was removed with an air knife, and the glass substrate 6 was dried from about 12 to about rc. The water is completely dry. Through this step, the glass-based 6 film with full polarizing function can be formed in a stable state in water. It is a person who performs PI printing and hardening. (Step 106) 'pi system, 胄 organic The diluted polyimide solution was coated with an aniline printing device, and the pattern of the orientation film 12 was printed on the polarizing film. Hardening is drying the solvent at a heating temperature of about 80 ° C, and then firing to polymerize the polymer. Rhenimine is completely hardened.

其次進行蝕刻,清洗,乾燥。(步驟1〇7) 钱刻係在0.多% (0·2〜〇·5% )之鹼性水溶液浸潰玻 璃基板6後以純水沖洗來使無定向膜12處之偏光膜溶出而 除去。 藉此’可簡單的僅殘留偏光膜U之顯示領域。 即使疋穩定化之偏光膜11因接觸驗性水溶液亦會剝 離。此時之藥液溫度從2 0 °C至2 5 °c較佳。Etching, cleaning and drying are performed next. (Step 107) The money is engraved with an alkaline aqueous solution of more than 0. 2% (0. 2 to 0. 5%) of the glass substrate 6 and then rinsed with pure water to dissolve the polarizing film at the non-oriented film 12. Remove. Thereby, it is possible to simply leave only the display area of the polarizing film U. Even the gadolinium-stabilized polarizing film 11 is peeled off by contact with the aqueous solution. At this time, the temperature of the medicinal solution is preferably from 20 ° C to 25 ° c.

其次’將人造絲等布捲繞之滾輪予以旋轉並同時進行 使定向膜丨2往一定方向摩擦之擦拭處理,而使液晶分子之 定向方位在一定方向成一致。(步驟108) 以此處理使定向膜聚醯亞胺之聚合體主鏈往擦拭處理 方向延伸,沿著此延伸方向液晶分子則進行排列。 其次,在一方之玻璃基板6則散佈有控制晶胞間隔用 之間隔件15。(步驟109 ) 接著,將與玻璃基板6對向之玻璃基板6 —體貼合、 封住用之密封材料14則塗敷於另一方之玻璃基板6。(步 18 1224687 驟 110) 及間隔件1 5 貼合。(步驟 八人將密封材料14所塗敷之玻璃基板6 所散佈之破璃基板6精度良好的疊合,壓著 111) 其-將貼合之玻璃基板6以加熱壓機繫緊至規定的 曰曰胞間隔,並使密封材料"加熱硬化。(步驟112) 、 進行自多倒角(chamfering )之玻璃基板6分 割成規疋尺寸之各個面板等之斷開作業。(步驟113) 其次,將液晶材料13注入面板,在附著於注入口封止 後面板=液晶材料13或塵埃,辨污等予以洗淨。(步驟114〕 其次,進行異物或瑕疵,斷開不良,偏光元件間之色 斑或晶胞間隔不勻,& 个j ’疋向不良等外觀檢查或黑點或白點之 有無’各種定向缺陷之有無,'點、線顯示缺陷之有無等之 點亮檢查。(步驟115) 藉由以上之步驟可完成液晶晶胞之組合。 產業上之利用可 由上述說明,本發明之偏光膜之製造裝置係以二向色 性染料之水溶液作為色漿使用,使此色漿印刷於基板並形 成偏光膜’不需習知偏光板之製作或黏貼作業,可大幅提 1¾ LCD之生產效率。又偏光膜並非如習知般在玻璃基板之 外側而是形成於内側,故僅玻璃基板之厚度就可使視野角 擴大。 又使用於習知偏光板之碘等染料因分子並列成絲狀自 19 1224687 斜邊觀 料其基 不會有 又 作,但 較低。 Ba + +及 提高对 又 各種方 在基板 敷於基 位。 藉 向處理 約2 0% 果,偏 又 一方向 板之厚 又 疵難以 防止處 之=有漏光之現象,而本發明之偏光膜所使用之染 本分子之寬度為苯核之2倍左右,故從斜邊觀之並 漏光’可使視野角更加擴大。 習知之偏光元件係使吸著染料之薄膜加以放大來製 此放大效果容易因熱振動而回復,而被認為耐熱性 但本發明之偏光膜之染料分子係以苯核為骨架,使 一 S〇3·交聯,鍵結力強,故熱振動難以損壞,並可 熱性。 ,超分子複合體之排列方向因基板之表面狀態而有 位,而本發明之偏光膜之製法,係在前處理步驟中 表面實施定向處理使具有定向各向異性,而可使塗 板表面之超分子複合體之排列方向控制於理想之方 此,可提高偏光膜之偏光性能,實際上沿著施行定 方向來塗敷超分子複合體之結果,偏光性能可提高 〇 方面,在與此方向垂直來塗敷超分子複合體之結 光性能則降低約50% 。 本發明之偏光膜之液晶晶胞,係將二向色性染料往 定向之偏光膜在晶胞内侧印刷而形成,故僅玻璃基 度就可使視野角擴大。 ,偏光膜因被玻璃基板所保護,故在偏光板上使瑕 附著作用之硬膜(hard coating)處理或靜電之帶電 理等則不需要。 20 1224687 又在 LCD之用途擴大或顯示品質之保持上為重要特 性之耐濕性及财熱性均可加以提高。 【圖式簡單說明】 第1圖係實施本發明偏光膜之製造裝置之模式圖。 第2圖係二向色性染料之顯示色及分子結構式一例之 圖。Secondly, a roller for winding cloth such as rayon is rotated and a rubbing treatment for rubbing the alignment film 2 to a certain direction is performed at the same time, so that the orientation orientation of the liquid crystal molecules is uniform in a certain direction. (Step 108) In this process, the polymer main chain of the polyimide of the alignment film is extended in the wiping treatment direction, and the liquid crystal molecules are aligned along this extension direction. Next, on one glass substrate 6, spacers 15 for controlling the cell spacing are dispersed. (Step 109) Next, the glass substrate 6 facing the glass substrate 6 is body-attached, and the sealing material 14 for sealing is applied to the other glass substrate 6. (Step 18 1224687 step 110) and the spacer 1 5 is attached. (Step 8: Laminate the broken glass substrate 6 coated with the sealing material 14 and the broken glass substrate 6 with good accuracy and press 111.)-Tie the bonded glass substrate 6 to the specified place by a heating press. Cells are separated and the sealing material " heat hardens. (Step 112). The glass substrate 6 is divided into multiple panels of various sizes, such as chamfering. (Step 113) Next, the liquid crystal material 13 is injected into the panel, and it is sealed at the injection port. The rear panel = the liquid crystal material 13 or dust, and it is cleaned after staining. (Step 114) Secondly, carry out foreign objects or defects, poor disconnection, uneven color spots or unit cell spacing between polarizing elements, and appearance inspections such as poor orientation or presence of black or white spots. The presence or absence of defects, the dots and lines show the presence of defects, etc. (Step 115) The combination of liquid crystal cells can be completed by the above steps. The industrial application can be described above and the production of the polarizing film of the present invention. The device uses an aqueous solution of a dichroic dye as a color paste, so that this color paste is printed on the substrate and forms a polarizing film. No need to know the production or sticking of polarizing plates, which can greatly improve the production efficiency of LCD. Polarized light The film is not formed on the outside of the glass substrate, but is formed on the inside, so the viewing angle can be enlarged only by the thickness of the glass substrate. Also, dyes such as iodine used in the conventional polarizing plate are juxtaposed into filaments due to molecules. Since 19 1224687 The hypotenuse is not expected to have a base, but it is low. Ba + + and various pairs are placed on the substrate. By processing about 20% of the results, the thickness of the board in another direction is defective. It is difficult to prevent the phenomenon of light leakage, and the width of the dye molecule used in the polarizing film of the present invention is about two times that of the benzene nucleus, so the light leakage from the oblique side view can make the viewing angle wider. The polarizing element is made by amplifying a thin film absorbing a dye, and the magnifying effect is easily restored by thermal vibration. It is considered to be heat resistant, but the dye molecule of the polarizing film of the present invention uses a benzene nucleus as a skeleton, so that Cross-linking, strong bonding force, so thermal vibration is difficult to damage, and thermal properties. The arrangement direction of the supramolecular complex is in place due to the surface state of the substrate, and the method of manufacturing the polarizing film of the present invention is in the pre-processing step The surface is subjected to directional treatment to have directional anisotropy, and the arrangement direction of the supramolecular complexes on the surface of the coated plate can be controlled in an ideal way, which can improve the polarizing performance of the polarizing film. As a result of the molecular complex, the polarization performance can be improved. In the direction perpendicular to this direction, the light-binding performance of the supermolecular complex is reduced by about 50%. The liquid crystal cell of the polarizing film of the present invention It is formed by printing the polarizing film with the dichroic dye oriented on the inside of the unit cell, so the viewing angle can be enlarged only by the basic degree of the glass. Because the polarizing film is protected by the glass substrate, it causes defects on the polarizing plate. Hard coating treatment for attached works or static electricity charging are not required. 20 1224687 It is also possible to improve the humidity resistance and financial heat resistance, which are important characteristics for expanding the use of LCDs or maintaining display quality. 【 Brief description of the drawings] Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a manufacturing device for implementing the polarizing film of the present invention.
