Description
本發明係關於一種偏光方式之三次元液晶顯示裝置之製造裝置及製造方法,其藉由設於液晶顯示面板上面之相位差板使自液晶顯示面板射出之直線偏光變化為旋轉方向反向旋轉之2個圓偏光,並且一個圓偏光射入右眼,另一個圓偏光射入左眼,從而使射入右眼與左眼之圖像產生視差而進行立體顯示。 The present invention relates to a polarizing type three-dimensional liquid crystal display device manufacturing apparatus and a manufacturing method thereof, wherein a linearly polarized light emitted from a liquid crystal display panel is changed into a reverse rotation direction of a rotating direction by a phase difference plate provided on a liquid crystal display panel. Two circularly polarized lights are emitted, and one circularly polarized light is incident on the right eye, and the other circularly polarized light is incident on the left eye, so that the image of the right eye and the left eye is generated to generate a parallax for stereoscopic display.
於偏光眼鏡方式之三次元液晶顯示裝置中,如第10圖所示,於液晶顯示面板47之前面設有相位差板50。第11圖為相位差板50之製作流程圖,第12圖為液晶顯示面板47之俯視圖,第13圖為相位差板50之俯視圖,第14及第15圖為使液晶顯示面板47與相位差板50貼合而成之圖。此液晶顯示面板47首先係將偏光板42配置於背光板41的前面。其次,於此偏光板42之前面配置陣列基板43,並於此陣列基板43與設於陣列基板43前面之彩色濾光基板45之間封入液晶材料44。然後,於彩色濾光基板45之前面配置偏光板46,構成 如第12圖所示之液晶顯示面板47。如此,於液晶顯示面板47之最表面設有偏光板46,所以,自液晶顯示面板47射出之光成為直線偏光61。 In the three-dimensional liquid crystal display device of the polarized glasses method, as shown in FIG. 10, a phase difference plate 50 is provided on the front surface of the liquid crystal display panel 47. 11 is a flow chart for manufacturing the phase difference plate 50, FIG. 12 is a plan view of the liquid crystal display panel 47, FIG. 13 is a plan view of the phase difference plate 50, and FIGS. 14 and 15 are for making the liquid crystal display panel 47 and the phase difference. The board 50 is laminated to form a picture. This liquid crystal display panel 47 firstly arranges the polarizing plate 42 on the front surface of the backlight panel 41. Next, the array substrate 43 is disposed on the front surface of the polarizing plate 42, and the liquid crystal material 44 is sealed between the array substrate 43 and the color filter substrate 45 provided on the front surface of the array substrate 43. Then, a polarizing plate 46 is disposed on the front surface of the color filter substrate 45 to constitute a polarizing plate 46. The liquid crystal display panel 47 as shown in Fig. 12. As described above, since the polarizing plate 46 is provided on the outermost surface of the liquid crystal display panel 47, the light emitted from the liquid crystal display panel 47 becomes the linearly polarized light 61.
接著,對相位差板50進行說明。如第11圖所示,於相位差板50之製造時,首先於基材上塗佈配向膜並使其乾燥。接著藉由曝光裝置進行曝光,以使塗佈且乾燥後之配向膜進行配向。然後塗佈液晶,並使其乾燥且UV硬化,藉此製作相位差板50。此相位差板50係以相位差為光波長之1/4波長的方式所設計,且以相位差板50之光軸對於偏光板46的偏光軸形成45度之角度的方式配置於液晶顯示面板47之前面。藉此,當自液晶顯示面板47射出之直線偏光61通過相位差板50時,由於雙折射效應而形成為圓偏光。 Next, the phase difference plate 50 will be described. As shown in Fig. 11, in the production of the phase difference plate 50, an alignment film is first applied onto a substrate and dried. Exposure is then performed by an exposure apparatus to align the coated and dried alignment film. Then, the liquid crystal was applied, dried, and UV-cured, whereby a phase difference plate 50 was produced. The phase difference plate 50 is designed such that the phase difference is a quarter wavelength of the light wavelength, and the optical axis of the phase difference plate 50 is disposed at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the polarization axis of the polarizing plate 46. Before 47. Thereby, when the linearly polarized light 61 emitted from the liquid crystal display panel 47 passes through the phase difference plate 50, it is formed into circularly polarized light due to the birefringence effect.
此外,液晶顯示面板47之像素係按每一行掃描線交互地排列有右眼用像素線及左眼用像素線,並以右眼用像素形成右眼用圖像、左眼用像素形成左眼用圖像的方式顯示視差圖像。此外,此相位差板50係如第13圖所示那樣具有右眼用偏光部48及左眼用偏光部49的二個區域,例如,以右眼用偏光部48之光軸對於偏光板46的偏光軸形成+45度,左眼用偏光部49之光軸對於偏光板46的偏光軸形成-45度的角度之方式所設計。並且,如第15圖所示,以液晶顯示面板47之右眼用像素線與相位差板50的右眼用偏光部48重疊、液晶顯示面板47之左眼用像素線與相位差板50的左眼用偏光部49重疊的方式貼合液晶顯示面板47與相位差板 50。藉此,如第10圖(b)及10圖(c)所示那樣通過相位差板50之光,例如,於右眼用偏光部48成為右圓偏光62,於左眼用偏光部49成為左圓偏光63。也就是說,自右眼用像素射出之偏光62與自左眼用像素射出的偏光63之方向為反向旋轉的方向。 Further, in the pixel of the liquid crystal display panel 47, the right-eye pixel line and the left-eye pixel line are alternately arranged for each line of scanning lines, and the right-eye pixel is formed for the right-eye pixel and the left-eye pixel is formed for the left eye. The parallax image is displayed as an image. Further, the phase difference plate 50 has two regions of the right-eye polarizing portion 48 and the left-eye polarizing portion 49 as shown in FIG. 13, for example, the optical axis of the right-eye polarizing portion 48 with respect to the polarizing plate 46. The polarization axis is formed at +45 degrees, and the optical axis of the left-eye polarizing portion 49 is designed to form an angle of -45 degrees with respect to the polarization axis of the polarizing plate 46. Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the right-eye pixel line of the liquid crystal display panel 47 and the right-eye polarizing unit 48 of the phase difference plate 50 are overlapped, and the left-eye pixel line of the liquid crystal display panel 47 and the phase difference plate 50 are provided. The liquid crystal display panel 47 and the phase difference plate are bonded to each other in such a manner that the left-eye polarizing portion 49 overlaps 50. As a result, the light passing through the phase difference plate 50 as shown in FIGS. 10(b) and 10(c) is, for example, the right-eye polarizing unit 48 becomes the right circularly polarized light 62, and the left-eye polarizing unit 49 becomes Left circular polarized light 63. In other words, the direction of the polarized light 62 emitted from the pixel for the right eye and the polarized light 63 emitted from the pixel for the left eye is a direction of reverse rotation.
另一方面,為了視認這些已偏光之光,如第10圖(a)所示,觀察者所佩戴之眼鏡53也具有偏光特性。於眼鏡53上配置有偏光板及相位差板(1/4波長板),且偏光特性根據右眼用51與左眼用52而相異。例如,於右眼用51上以將右圓偏光變更為直線偏光的方式配置偏光板及1/4波長板,並於左眼用52以將左圓偏光變更為直線偏光的方式配置偏光板及1/4波長板。於佩戴此眼鏡53之觀察者對該液晶顯示面板47進行視認的情況下,自右眼用像素射出之右圓偏光62,係於眼鏡53之右眼用51被變更為直線偏光後而射入觀察者的右眼,但自左眼用像素射出之左圓偏光63不通過眼鏡53之右眼用51。此外,自左眼用像素射出之左圓偏光63,係於眼鏡53之左眼用52被變更為直線偏光後而射入觀察者的左眼,但自右眼用像素射出之右圓偏光62不通過眼鏡53之左眼用52。藉此,右眼能看見右眼用圖像、即右眼用像素之集合,左眼能看見左眼用圖像、即左眼用像素之集合,從而如上述那樣在液晶顯示面板47顯示視差圖像,所以,觀察者能視認立體圖像。 On the other hand, in order to visually recognize these polarized lights, as shown in Fig. 10(a), the glasses 53 worn by the observer also have polarizing characteristics. A polarizing plate and a phase difference plate (1/4 wavelength plate) are disposed on the glasses 53, and the polarization characteristics are different depending on the right eye 51 and the left eye 52. For example, a polarizing plate and a quarter-wave plate are disposed on the right-eye 51 to change the right circularly polarized light into a linearly polarized light, and the polarizing plate is disposed in the left-eye 52 to change the left circularly polarized light into a linearly polarized light. 1/4 wavelength plate. When the viewer wearing the glasses 53 visually recognizes the liquid crystal display panel 47, the right circularly polarized light 62 emitted from the right-eye pixel is changed to linearly polarized light and then incident on the right-eye 51 of the glasses 53. The right eye of the observer, but the left circular polarized light 63 emitted from the pixel for the left eye does not pass through the right eye 51 of the eyeglasses 53. Further, the left circularly polarized light 63 emitted from the pixel for the left eye is converted into the left eye of the observer after the left eye 52 of the eyeglasses 53 is changed to be linearly polarized, but the right circularly polarized light 62 is emitted from the pixel for the right eye. 52 is not passed through the left eye of the eyeglasses 53. Thereby, the right eye can see the right eye image, that is, the right eye pixel, and the left eye can see the left eye image, that is, the left eye pixel set, thereby displaying the parallax on the liquid crystal display panel 47 as described above. The image, so the observer can view the stereo image.
為了實現如上述之相位差板,提出有各種之技術方案。首先,專利文獻1揭示有相鄰地配置複數之 片狀相位差構件,且相鄰之片狀相位差構件彼此的遲相軸或進相軸朝向相互不同之方向。此片狀相位差構件具有一定之寬度,且有規則性地配置有相互不同之遲相軸或進相軸所構成的相位差區域。此外,此片狀相位差構件係以相位差為光波長之1/4波長的方式所設計,且遲相軸或進相軸係以相對於液晶顯示面板上之偏光板的偏光軸分別成為±45度之角度的方式所設計。藉此,當自液晶顯示面板上之偏光板射出之直線偏光通過片狀相位差構件時,就變化為右圓偏光及左圓偏光。若將此複數之片狀相位差構件與液晶顯示面板貼合,且使相互不同之遲相軸或進相軸所構成的相位差區域與預先按每條掃描線交互地顯示右眼用及左眼用之圖像而構成的液晶顯示面板的每一行掃描線對應,則自右眼用像素射出之偏光方向與自左眼用像素射出之偏光方向成為相互不同的方向。藉此,當佩戴偏光眼鏡對液晶顯示面板進行視認時,右眼能看見右眼用圖像,左眼能看見左眼用圖像,藉此,能使射入右眼及左眼之圖像產生視差而進行立體顯示。 In order to realize the phase difference plate as described above, various technical solutions have been proposed. First, Patent Document 1 discloses that plural numbers are arranged adjacently The sheet-like phase difference member has a retardation axis or a phase advancement axis of the adjacent sheet-like phase difference members facing each other in directions different from each other. The sheet-like phase difference member has a certain width, and is regularly arranged with phase difference regions composed of mutually different slow phase axes or phase advance axes. Further, the sheet-like phase difference member is designed such that the phase difference is a quarter wavelength of the light wavelength, and the slow phase axis or the phase advance axis is ± with respect to the polarization axis of the polarizing plate on the liquid crystal display panel. Designed in a 45 degree angle. Thereby, when the linearly polarized light emitted from the polarizing plate on the liquid crystal display panel passes through the sheet-like phase difference member, it changes to the right circular polarization and the left circular polarization. When the plurality of sheet-like phase difference members are bonded to the liquid crystal display panel, and the phase difference regions formed by mutually different slow phase axes or phase advance axes are displayed, the right eye and the left are alternately displayed for each scanning line in advance. When the scanning line of each line of the liquid crystal display panel formed by the image for the eye corresponds to each other, the polarization direction emitted from the pixel for the right eye and the polarization direction emitted from the pixel for the left eye are different from each other. Thereby, when the liquid crystal display panel is visually recognized by wearing the polarized glasses, the right eye can see the image for the right eye, and the left eye can see the image for the left eye, thereby enabling the image of the right eye and the left eye to be incident. Stereoscopic display is generated by generating parallax.
此外,專利文獻2揭示有一種於基材上直接形成微細周期結構之相位差板,該微細周期結構係交互地形成有穿透之光的光學軸之方向互不相同的二個區域。此微細周期結構係利用了以遠比光波長小之周期對原本不具雙折射特性之折射率不同的複數個平板進行排列以使其產生雙折射特性之這一技術。此外,可藉由排列平板之方向來任意確定光學軸之方向,其中平行於平 板之方向成為遲相軸,垂直於平板之方向成為進相軸。藉此,可於一片基材上交互地形成具有不同之光學軸的二個區域。此外,根據微細周期結構之材質及設計值,各區域之相位差均設為光波長的1/4波長,且各區域之光學軸正交。並且,將此二個區域設為右眼用偏光部及左眼用偏光部,以右眼用偏光部與液晶顯示面板之右眼用圖像重疊、且左眼用偏光部與液晶顯示面板之左眼用圖像重疊的方式,及此二個區域之光軸相對於液晶顯示面板上之偏光板的偏光軸分別形成±45度之角度的方式,使相位差板與液晶顯示面板進行貼合。藉此,當自液晶顯示面板上之偏光板射出的直線偏光通過相位差板時,即會變化為右圓偏光與左圓偏光,若通過偏光眼鏡觀察顯示於液晶顯示面板之圖像時,來自右眼用像素之光不會到達左眼而只到達右眼,來自左眼用像素之光不會到達右眼而只到達左眼,藉此,只要使液晶顯示面板顯示視差圖像,即可進行立體顯示。 Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a phase difference plate in which a fine periodic structure is directly formed on a substrate, and the fine periodic structure alternately forms two regions in which the directions of the optical axes of the transmitted light are different from each other. This fine periodic structure utilizes a technique of arranging a plurality of flat plates having different refractive indices which are not birefringent characteristics at a period far smaller than the wavelength of light to cause birefringence characteristics. In addition, the direction of the optical axis can be arbitrarily determined by arranging the directions of the flat plates, which are parallel to the flat The direction of the plate becomes a slow phase axis, and the direction perpendicular to the plate becomes the phase axis. Thereby, two regions having different optical axes can be alternately formed on one piece of the substrate. Further, according to the material and design value of the fine periodic structure, the phase difference of each region is set to 1/4 wavelength of the light wavelength, and the optical axes of the respective regions are orthogonal. Further, the two regions are set as the right-eye polarizing portion and the left-eye polarizing portion, and the right-eye polarizing portion overlaps the right-eye image of the liquid crystal display panel, and the left-eye polarizing portion and the liquid crystal display panel are The image for the left eye is superimposed, and the optical axis of the two regions is formed at an angle of ±45 degrees with respect to the polarization axis of the polarizing plate on the liquid crystal display panel, so that the phase difference plate is bonded to the liquid crystal display panel. . Therefore, when the linear polarized light emitted from the polarizing plate on the liquid crystal display panel passes through the phase difference plate, it changes to the right circular polarized light and the left circular polarized light, and when the image displayed on the liquid crystal display panel is observed through the polarized glasses, the The light of the pixel for the right eye does not reach the left eye but only reaches the right eye, and the light from the pixel for the left eye does not reach the right eye but only reaches the left eye, whereby the liquid crystal display panel can display the parallax image. Perform stereo display.

然而,專利文獻1及2均為使製作而成之相位差板與液晶顯示面板貼合,藉此,以相位差板之右眼用偏光部重疊於液晶顯示面板的掃描線之右眼用像素線,相位差板之左眼用偏光部重疊於液晶顯示面板的掃 描線之左眼用像素線的方式而形成者。若重疊精度差,則變得無法正確地視認右眼用圖像與左眼用圖像,所以造成觀察者不容易視認立體圖像。 However, in Patent Literatures 1 and 2, the phase difference plate produced is bonded to the liquid crystal display panel, and the right-eye polarizing portion of the phase difference plate is superposed on the right-eye pixel of the scanning line of the liquid crystal display panel. Line, the left-eye polarizing portion of the phase difference plate is superimposed on the scanning of the liquid crystal display panel The left eye of the trace is formed by means of a pixel line. If the superimposition accuracy is poor, the right-eye image and the left-eye image cannot be accurately viewed, so that it is difficult for the observer to visually recognize the stereoscopic image.
如此,於專利文獻1及2中,由於使製作而成之相位差板與液晶顯示面板貼合,所以為了取得良好之上述重疊精度,要求有高精度之貼合製程。如第14圖所示,若液晶顯示面板與相位差板之貼合精度差,則會像前述那樣,造成觀察者不容易視認立體圖像。此外,為了削減材料成本,可使用薄膜作為相位差板之基材,但薄膜之熱膨脹等尺寸穩定性差,所以,會有貼合之難度進一步增高的問題。 As described above, in Patent Documents 1 and 2, since the produced phase difference plate is bonded to the liquid crystal display panel, in order to obtain a good overlap precision, a high-precision bonding process is required. As shown in Fig. 14, if the bonding accuracy between the liquid crystal display panel and the phase difference plate is inferior, it is difficult for the observer to visually recognize the stereoscopic image as described above. Further, in order to reduce the material cost, a film can be used as the substrate of the phase difference plate, but the dimensional stability of the film such as thermal expansion is poor, so that the difficulty of bonding is further increased.
本發明係鑑於上述問題點而研發完成者,其目的在於提供一種三次元液晶顯示裝置之製造裝置及製造方法,藉由於液晶顯示面板上直接形成相位差層,不需要使液晶顯示面板與相位差板貼合,可防止因貼合精度而引起之立體圖像之品質降低。 The present invention has been developed in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a manufacturing apparatus and a manufacturing method of a three-dimensional liquid crystal display device.

As shown in FIG. 3, the liquid crystal panel 31 has a plurality of black matrices 32, and a polarizing plate 33 is provided on the upper surface of the liquid crystal panel 31 so as to cover the liquid crystal panel 31 and the black matrix 32, thereby constituting the liquid crystal display panel 1. A film is adhered to the liquid crystal display panel 1 by using, for example, cellulose triacetate (hereinafter referred to as TAC) or a cyclic olefin polymer (hereinafter referred to as COP) as the substrate 34, and on the substrate 34. It is formed by coating the alignment film 35. Further, the alignment film 35 is exposed by the exposure light 37 emitted from the exposure light source 36 in the manufacturing apparatus of the above-described three-dimensional liquid crystal display device. The liquid crystal polymer 38 is formed on the alignment film 35 after the exposure, whereby a liquid crystal film is formed, whereby the retardation layer 71 is formed on the upper portion of the liquid crystal display panel 1. As described above, two exposure apparatuses are provided in the manufacturing apparatus of the three-dimensional liquid crystal display device, and the two exposure apparatuses form the right-eye polarizing section and the left-eye polarizing section, respectively, and thus are formed on the retardation layer 71.

That is, the phase difference layer 71 can be directly formed on the liquid crystal display panel 1. Further, the CCD cameras 21a and 21b and the mask alignment cameras 24a and 24b detect the position of the pixel lines of the liquid crystal display panel 1 and the positions of the masks 3a and 3b, respectively, and based on the detection result, the mask head 2a, Since the 2b tracking pixel line is used to correct the exposure position, the right-eye polarizing unit 12a of the phase difference layer 71 can be superimposed on the right-eye pixel 11a with high precision, and the left-eye polarizing unit 12b of the phase difference layer 71 can be overlapped. The pixel 11b is used for the left eye.

The adjustment unit moves the mask 3a of the exposure device 30a in a direction perpendicular to the one direction by a portion of the left-eye pixel 11b. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the liquid crystal display panel 1 is conveyed in a direction opposite to the conveyance direction when the right-eye polarizing portion 12a is formed (indicated by a hollow arrow in FIG. 9), and exposure is performed from the exposure light source 26a. The light is switched to the left eye with the exposure light of the polarized light. By this, the liquid crystal display panel 1 that is being transported is exposed to the portion corresponding to the left-eye pixel 11b on the alignment film via the mask 3a to form the left-eye polarizing portion 12b. In the present embodiment, after the right-eye polarizing portion 12a is formed, the photomask 3a is moved (shifted) by only one pixel line, but the carrier can be moved by the liquid crystal display panel 1 by adsorption. (Offset), and the liquid crystal display panel 1 is only moved (offset) by the amount of one pixel line. Further, both the photomask 3a and the liquid crystal display panel 1 can be moved, and as a result, the photomask 3a and the liquid crystal display panel 1 can be relatively moved (shifted) by one pixel line in a direction perpendicular to the one direction. can.
於此第四實施形態中,以一個曝光裝置形成右眼用偏光部12a及左眼用偏光部12b,所以,可削減用於曝光裝置之成本,並可使整個裝置小型化。 In the fourth embodiment, since the right-eye polarizing unit 12a and the left-eye polarizing unit 12b are formed by one exposure apparatus, the cost for the exposure apparatus can be reduced, and the entire apparatus can be downsized.
又,上述各實施形態之三次元液晶顯示裝置之製造裝置中的曝光裝置之光罩,係具有與像素線對應之大小的開口部。首先,曝光裝置30a對配向膜上之對 應右眼用像素11a的部分進行曝光,形成右眼用偏光部12a,然後,曝光裝置30a朝垂直於液晶顯示面板1之搬運方向的方向移動一條像素線的份量,對配向膜上之對應左眼用像素11b的部分進行曝光而形成左眼用偏光部12b。也就是說,一個曝光裝置藉由具有與像素線對應之大小的開口部之光罩,對與右眼用像素及左眼用像素對應之配向膜依序進行曝光,藉此按每一條像素線交互地形成不同之偏光部。 Further, in the manufacturing apparatus of the ternary liquid crystal display device of each of the above embodiments, the reticle of the exposure device has an opening portion having a size corresponding to the pixel line. First, the pair of exposure devices 30a on the alignment film Exposing the portion of the right-eye pixel 11a to form the right-eye polarizing portion 12a, and then the exposure device 30a moves the amount of one pixel line in a direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction of the liquid crystal display panel 1, and the corresponding left on the alignment film The portion of the ophthalmic pixel 11b is exposed to form a left-eye polarizing portion 12b. In other words, one exposure device sequentially exposes the alignment film corresponding to the right-eye pixel and the left-eye pixel by a photomask having an opening portion corresponding to the pixel line, thereby pressing each pixel line. Differently forming different polarizing portions.
然而,本發明不限於上述第一實施形態至第四實施形態,例如,亦可為,曝光裝置30a之光罩3a具有與每隔一條像素線之像素線對應的大小之開口部7a,曝光裝置30b之光罩3b具有沿像素區域之寬度方向的全長延伸之一個開口部。此情況下,曝光裝置30b之曝光光線係藉由液晶顯示面板1進行移動,而對整個配向膜35進行曝光。藉由此構成,首先,曝光裝置30a對配向膜上之對應右眼用像素11a的部分進行曝光,形成右眼用偏光部12a,然後,曝光裝置30a對與右眼用像素11a及左眼用像素11b兩者對應的配向膜進行曝光。此時,只要曝光裝置30b之曝光光線的能量係不用考慮已形成之右眼用偏光部12a的偏光方向的低能量,就使形成於配向膜上之對應右眼用像素11a的部分之右眼用偏光部12a維持原樣,僅於與左眼用像素11b對應之配向膜35之區域形成左眼用偏光部12b。 However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described first to fourth embodiments. For example, the mask 3a of the exposure device 30a may have an opening portion 7a having a size corresponding to a pixel line of every other pixel line, and an exposure device. The mask 3b of 30b has one opening extending in the entire length direction of the pixel region. In this case, the exposure light of the exposure device 30b is moved by the liquid crystal display panel 1, and the entire alignment film 35 is exposed. With this configuration, first, the exposure device 30a exposes a portion of the alignment film corresponding to the right-eye pixel 11a to form a right-eye polarizing portion 12a, and then the exposure device 30a is used for the right-eye pixel 11a and the left eye. The alignment film corresponding to both of the pixels 11b is exposed. In this case, the energy of the exposure light of the exposure device 30b is such that the right eye of the portion corresponding to the right-eye pixel 11a formed on the alignment film is not considered in consideration of the low energy of the polarization direction of the right-eye polarizing portion 12a. The polarizing portion 12a is maintained as it is, and the left-eye polarizing portion 12b is formed only in the region of the alignment film 35 corresponding to the left-eye pixel 11b.
又,亦可為,例如,曝光裝置30a之光罩3a具有與像素區域之寬度方向的全區域對應之一個開口 部,藉由液晶顯示面板1之移動,曝光裝置30a朝整個配向膜35照射曝光光線,曝光裝置30b之光罩3b具有與每隔一條像素線之像素線對應的大小之開口部7b,曝光裝置30b之曝光光線對與左眼用像素線對應之配向膜的區域進行曝光。藉由此構成,首先,曝光裝置30a對整個配向膜35進行曝光,然後,曝光裝置30a只對配向膜中之對應左眼用像素11b的部分進行曝光。此時,於曝光裝置30b之曝光光線的能量係能充分用來將已藉由曝光裝置30a所曝光而成為右眼用偏光部之配向膜部分變更為左眼用之偏光方向者之情況下,藉由曝光裝置30b使與左眼用像素線對應之配向膜區域成為左眼用偏光部。藉此,於配向膜上之對應左眼用像素11b的部分形成左眼用偏光部12b,於未藉由曝光裝置30b之曝光光線所曝光的對應右眼用像素11a之配向膜部分,則殘留有右眼用偏光部12a。又,本發明中,形成於液晶顯示面板之右眼用偏光部及左眼用偏光部,有時可為圓偏光部,有時也可為直線偏光部。 Further, for example, the mask 3a of the exposure device 30a may have an opening corresponding to the entire area in the width direction of the pixel region. The exposure device 30a irradiates the entire alignment film 35 with exposure light by the movement of the liquid crystal display panel 1. The mask 3b of the exposure device 30b has an opening portion 7b of a size corresponding to the pixel line of every other pixel line, and the exposure device The exposure light of 30b exposes an area of the alignment film corresponding to the pixel line for the left eye. With this configuration, first, the exposure device 30a exposes the entire alignment film 35, and then the exposure device 30a exposes only the portion of the alignment film corresponding to the left-eye pixel 11b. In this case, the energy of the exposure light of the exposure device 30b can be sufficiently used to change the alignment film portion of the right-eye polarizing portion that has been exposed by the exposure device 30a to the polarization direction for the left eye. The alignment film region corresponding to the pixel line for the left eye is made into the left-eye polarizing portion by the exposure device 30b. Thereby, the left-eye polarizing portion 12b is formed on the portion corresponding to the left-eye pixel 11b on the alignment film, and the alignment film portion corresponding to the right-eye pixel 11a which is not exposed by the exposure light of the exposure device 30b remains. There is a polarizing portion 12a for the right eye. Further, in the present invention, the right-eye polarizing portion and the left-eye polarizing portion formed in the liquid crystal display panel may be circularly polarized portions or may be linearly polarized portions.
本發明之三次元液晶顯示裝置之製造裝置,係於液晶顯示面板上直接形成相位差層,所以,不需要貼合液晶顯示面板與相位差板,可防止因貼合精度而引起之立體圖像的品質降低。 The manufacturing apparatus of the three-dimensional liquid crystal display device of the present invention directly forms a phase difference layer on the liquid crystal display panel, so that it is not necessary to laminate the liquid crystal display panel and the phase difference plate, and the stereoscopic image caused by the bonding precision can be prevented. The quality is reduced.
