In the current manufacturing technology of liquid crystal production 10, the liquid crystal required by STN (Super Twisted Nematic)-LCD must have a specific resistance (SR) greater than ίο11 Ω.cm or more; the liquid crystal required for TFT-LCD must have resistance. The value is greater than 1〇13Ωχχη. In terms of the current production technology of the LCD panel factory, only 7〇% of the liquid crystal on the production line is successfully used to make the product. As long as it is contaminated by ions or water during the process of producing or filling the panel, it will often make the whole batch of liquid crystals unusable. Generally, about 30%~50% must be scrapped. However, since liquid crystals are high-priced special-purpose chemicals, if they are treated as waste, the panel manufacturers' operating costs will increase and profit will be lost. Liquid crystal materials, while accounting for a very small portion of the cost of the entire 20 flat panel displays, have a decisive influence on the performance of the display. The establishment of liquid crystal purification and recycling related technologies will effectively reduce production costs and will be a major breakthrough for the entire industry. Since the liquid crystal is viscous, the prior art related to liquid crystal recovery is 1282359. After completely dissolving the liquid crystal by an organic solvent, the direct contact adsorption method is used to adsorb impurities in the liquid crystal solution, or to recrystallize, adsorb, distill, and ion. The exchange method, the filtration or the column of the adsorbent is used to obtain the purified liquid crystal, and then the organic solvent contained in the liquid crystal solution is removed by 5; in the above-mentioned prior art, the solvent is added and stirred. It takes 3 to 5 hours, and the amount of liquid crystal used for purification is limited to less than i〇g, which is not suitable for mass production in the factory; in addition, the organic solvent and adsorbent used in large quantities not only add complicated steps, but also are easy to use. Contamination is introduced during the purification process, and the purification effect is lowered. At the same time, in the process of solvent removal, the probability of changing the composition and photoelectric properties of the original liquid crystal mixture will increase, thereby causing the liquid crystal specification after purification to not meet the demand. Therefore, there is a need to develop a method for purifying liquid crystals to effectively shorten the purification time, overcome the high cleanliness requirements in the purification process, facilitate use and operation, and more importantly, be suitable for mass production in factories. The inventor loves this because of this, in the spirit of active creation, thinking about a method and device that can solve the above problems, liquid crystal purification, and after several research experiments to complete the invention of this kind of Christine.
