Description

液晶配向劑、液晶配向膜及液晶顯示元件 Liquid crystal alignment agent, liquid crystal alignment film and liquid crystal display element

本發明係關於殘像特性良好之液晶顯示元件的製造所用的液晶配向劑、由該液晶配向劑所得到之液晶配向膜、及具有該液晶配向膜之液晶顯示元件。 The present invention relates to a liquid crystal alignment agent used in the manufacture of a liquid crystal display element with good residual image characteristics, a liquid crystal alignment film obtained from the liquid crystal alignment agent, and a liquid crystal display element having the liquid crystal alignment film.

光配向法作為無摩擦之配向處理方法,於工業上亦為簡便的製造製程。特別是於IPS(In-Plane-Switching)驅動方式或FFS(Flinge-field-Switching)驅動方式之液晶顯示元件中,藉由使用以上述光配向法所得到之液晶配向膜,相較於以摩擦處理法所得到之液晶配向膜,可期待液晶顯示元件之對比或視野角特性之提高。藉此,可提高液晶顯示元件之性能,而作為值得期望之液晶配向處理方法受到注目。 As a frictionless alignment processing method, the optical alignment method is also a simple manufacturing process in industry. Especially in the IPS (In-Plane-Switching) driving mode or FFS (Flinge-field-Switching) driving mode of the liquid crystal display element, by using the liquid crystal alignment film obtained by the above-mentioned optical alignment method, compared with rubbing The liquid crystal alignment film obtained by the processing method can be expected to improve the contrast or viewing angle characteristics of the liquid crystal display element. Thereby, the performance of the liquid crystal display element can be improved, and it has attracted attention as a promising liquid crystal alignment processing method.

但是,藉由光配向法所得到之液晶配向膜,相較於摩擦所得者,係有對於高分子膜之配向方向的各向異性小的問題。各向異性小時,無法得到充分的液晶配向性,作為液晶顯示元件時,會發生產生殘像等之問題。 However, the liquid crystal alignment film obtained by the photo-alignment method has a problem that the anisotropy of the alignment direction of the polymer film is smaller than that obtained by rubbing. When the anisotropy is small, sufficient liquid crystal orientation cannot be obtained, and when used as a liquid crystal display element, problems such as after-image generation may occur.

另一方面,作為提高藉由光配向法所得到之液晶配向 膜的各向異性之方法,提出有將藉由光照射切斷前述聚醯亞胺之主鏈而生成的低分子量成分,於光照射後予以去除。 On the other hand, to improve the alignment of liquid crystals obtained by the photo-alignment method As a method of film anisotropy, it is proposed to remove the low molecular weight component generated by cutting the main chain of the polyimide by light irradiation after light irradiation.

製作具備邊緣電場切換(Fringe Field Switching:FFS)模式液晶顯示元件之構成的液晶晶胞。 Fabrication of a liquid crystal cell with a Fringe Field Switching (FFS) mode liquid crystal display element.

準備30mm×50mm之大小、厚度0.7mm之附電極的玻璃基板。於基板上形成作為第1層之構成對向電極且具備整體狀之圖型的ITO電極。於第1層之對向電極之上,形成作為第2層之藉由CVD法所成膜的SiN(氮化矽)膜。第2層之SiN膜的膜厚為500nm,發揮作為層間絕緣膜的功能。於第2層之SiN膜之上,作為第3層,係配置使ITO膜圖型化所形成的梳齒狀之畫素電極,形成第1畫素及第2畫素之2個畫素。各畫素之尺寸,係縱10mm、橫約5mm。此時,第1層之對向電極與第3層之畫素電極,係藉由第2層之SiN膜的作用而電性絕緣。 Prepare a glass substrate with electrodes with a size of 30mm×50mm and a thickness of 0.7mm. An ITO electrode with an integral pattern as the first layer constituting the counter electrode is formed on the substrate. On the counter electrode of the first layer, a SiN (silicon nitride) film formed by the CVD method is formed as the second layer. The SiN film of the second layer has a thickness of 500 nm and functions as an interlayer insulating film. On the second layer of SiN film, as the third layer, comb-shaped pixel electrodes formed by patterning the ITO film are arranged to form two pixels, the first pixel and the second pixel. The size of each pixel is 10mm in length and 5mm in width. At this time, the counter electrode of the first layer and the pixel electrode of the third layer are electrically insulated by the action of the SiN film of the second layer.

第3層之畫素電極,係具有將中央部分彎曲之ㄑ字形狀的電極要素複數排列所構成的梳齒狀形狀。各電極要素之短邊方向的寬度為3μm,電極要素間之間隔為6μm。形成各畫素之畫素電極,係將中央部分彎曲之ㄑ字形狀的電極要素複數排列所構成,因此各畫素之形狀並非長方形,而係具備類似與電極要素同樣地於中央部分彎曲之粗字的ㄑ字之形狀。此外,各畫素係以其中央之彎曲部 分為界而被上下分割,具有彎曲部分之上側的第1區域與下側的第2區域。 The pixel electrode of the third layer has a comb-tooth shape formed by arranging a plurality of electrode elements in the shape of a U-shaped curved center. The width of each electrode element in the short-side direction is 3 μm, and the interval between the electrode elements is 6 μm. The pixel electrode forming each pixel is constructed by arranging a plurality of electrode elements in the shape of "U" with a curved central part. Therefore, the shape of each pixel is not rectangular, but has a thickness similar to the electrode element that is curved in the central part. The zigzag shape of the word. In addition, each pixel is based on its central curved part It is divided into boundaries and divided up and down, and has a first area on the upper side of the curved portion and a second area on the lower side.

比較各畫素之第1區域與第2區域時,構成該等之畫素電極的電極要素之形成方向係成為不同者。亦即,以後述之液晶配向膜之摩擦方向為基準時,於畫素之第1區域,畫素電極之電極要素係以呈+10°之角度(順時針)的方式形成,於畫素之第2區域,畫素電極之電極要素係以呈-10°之角度(順時針)的方式形成。亦即,於各畫素之第1區域與第2區域,畫素電極與對向電極之間藉由電壓施加所誘發之液晶於基板面內的旋轉動作(面內切換)之方向,係以互相成為反方向的方式構成。 When comparing the first area and the second area of each pixel, the formation directions of the electrode elements constituting the pixel electrodes are different. That is, when the rubbing direction of the liquid crystal alignment film described later is used as a reference, in the first area of the pixel, the electrode elements of the pixel electrode are formed at an angle of +10° (clockwise). In the second area, the electrode elements of the pixel electrodes are formed at an angle of -10° (clockwise). That is, in the first area and the second area of each pixel, the direction of the rotation (in-plane switching) of the liquid crystal in the substrate surface induced by the voltage application between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode is It is constructed in the opposite direction to each other.

接著,將液晶配向劑以1.0μm之濾器過濾後,以旋轉塗佈塗佈於所準備之上述附電極之基板、與背面成膜有ITO膜之具有高4μm的柱狀間隙物之玻璃基板。塗佈後,於80℃之加熱板上乾燥5分鐘後,於230℃之熱風循環式烘箱進行20分鐘燒成,形成膜厚100nm之塗膜。對該塗膜面,隔著偏光板照射消光比10:1以上之直線偏光的波長254nm之紫外線。將該基板浸漬於由水及有機溶劑中選出之至少1種溶劑中3分鐘,接著於純水中浸漬1分鐘,之後,於150~300℃之加熱板上加熱5分鐘,得到附有液晶配向膜之基板。 Next, the liquid crystal alignment agent was filtered with a 1.0 μm filter, and then spin-coated on the prepared substrate with electrodes, and a glass substrate with an ITO film formed on the back surface with a columnar spacer having a height of 4 μm. After coating, it was dried on a hot plate at 80°C for 5 minutes, and then fired in a hot-air circulating oven at 230°C for 20 minutes to form a coating film with a thickness of 100nm. The coating film surface was irradiated with ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of 254 nm of linearly polarized light having an extinction ratio of 10:1 or more through a polarizing plate. The substrate is immersed in at least one solvent selected from water and organic solvents for 3 minutes, then immersed in pure water for 1 minute, and then heated on a hot plate at 150-300°C for 5 minutes to obtain an alignment with liquid crystal The substrate of the film.

以2枚基板為一組,於一方之基板上印刷密封劑,將另一方之基板,以液晶配向膜面互為對向,且配向方向成為0°的方式貼合後,使密封劑硬化來製作空晶 胞。對該空晶胞,藉由減壓注入法注入液晶MLC-7026-100(Merck公司製),將注入口密封,得到FFS驅動液晶晶胞。之後,將所得之液晶晶胞於110℃加熱1小時,放置一晚後使用於各評估。 Use two substrates as a set, print a sealant on one of the substrates, and affix the other substrate so that the liquid crystal alignment film faces each other and the alignment direction becomes 0°, and then the sealant is hardened. Make empty crystal Cell. Into this empty cell, liquid crystal MLC-7026-100 (manufactured by Merck) was injected by a reduced pressure injection method, and the injection port was sealed to obtain an FFS driven liquid crystal cell. After that, the obtained liquid crystal cell was heated at 110° C. for 1 hour and left overnight and used for each evaluation.

After that, the pixel electrode and the counter electrode of the liquid crystal cell were short-circuited, and they were left at room temperature for one day.

放置後,將液晶晶胞設置於以偏光軸直交的方式配置之2枚偏光板之間,於電壓無施加之狀態預先點亮背光,調整液晶晶胞之配置角度,使透過光之輝度成為最小。然後,算出使液晶晶胞由第1畫素之第2區域為最暗的角度起旋轉至第1區域為最暗的角度時的旋轉角度,作為角度△。於第2畫素,亦與第1畫素時相同地,比較第2區域與第1區域,算出同樣的角度△。 After placement, the liquid crystal cell is placed between the two polarizing plates arranged in a way that the polarization axis is perpendicular to each other. The backlight is pre-lighted when no voltage is applied, and the arrangement angle of the liquid crystal cell is adjusted to minimize the brightness of the transmitted light. . Then, the rotation angle when the liquid crystal cell is rotated from the angle where the second area of the first pixel is the darkest to the angle where the first area is the darkest is calculated as the angle Δ. For the second pixel, as in the case of the first pixel, the second area and the first area are compared, and the same angle Δ is calculated.
