Description

具有液晶配向膜之基板之製造方法及液晶顯示元件Manufacturing method of substrate with liquid crystal alignment film and liquid crystal display element

[0001] 本發明係有關用於製造燒灼特性(burn-in)為優異的液晶顯示元件之液晶配向膜、液晶顯示元件及其製造方法。[0001] The present invention relates to a liquid crystal alignment film, a liquid crystal display element and a manufacturing method thereof for manufacturing a liquid crystal display element having excellent burn-in characteristics.

[0002] 液晶顯示元件係已知為輕量、薄型且低消耗電力的顯示裝置,近年被使用於大型的電視用途等而達到顯著的發展。液晶顯示元件係藉由例如具備電極之透明的一對基板挾持液晶層所構成。又,液晶顯示元件中,以使液晶在基板間達到所期望的配向狀態之方式,使用由有機材料所成之有機膜來作為液晶配向膜。   [0003] 即,液晶配向膜係液晶顯示元件的構成構件,且形成於挾持液晶的基板與液晶接觸的面,發揮在該基板間使液晶朝一定的方向配向之作用。又,對於液晶配向膜,除了發揮要求使液晶朝例如與基板平行的方向等之一定的方向配向之作用外,有時還要求控制液晶的預傾角之作用。如此的液晶配向膜中,控制液晶的配向之能力(以下稱為配向控制能),可藉由對構成液晶配向膜的有機膜來進行配向處理而賦予。   [0004] 作為用於賦予配向控制能的液晶配向膜之配向處理方法,一直以來已知有摩擦法。所謂摩擦法係指對於基板上的聚乙烯醇或聚醯胺或聚醯亞胺等的有機膜,利用綿、尼龍、聚酯等的布,對其表面沿一定方向擦拭(摩擦),使液晶沿擦拭的方向(摩擦方向)配向之方法。該摩擦法由於能夠簡便地實現較穩定的液晶的配向狀態,故被利用於以往的液晶顯示元件之製造製程中。又,作為液晶配向膜所使用的有機膜,主要選擇耐熱性等的可靠性或電特性為優異的聚醯亞胺系的有機膜。   [0005] 然而,對於由聚醯亞胺等所成之液晶配向膜的表面進行摩擦的摩擦法,存在有揚塵或產生靜電的問題。又,由於近年的液晶顯示元件的高精細化、或因對應的基板上的電極或液晶驅動用的主動開關元件所產生的凹凸,有時無法用布對液晶配向膜的表面進行均勻地摩擦,故無法實現均勻的液晶配向。   [0006] 因此,作為無法進行摩擦的液晶配向膜之其他的配向處理方法,正積極地研究光配向法。   [0007] 光配向法有各種的方法,利用直線偏光或視準後的光,在構成液晶配向膜之有機膜內形成異向性,並依據其異向性來使液晶配向。   [0008] 作為主要的光配向法,已知有分解型的光配向法。例如對聚醯亞胺膜照射偏光紫外線,利用分子構造的紫外線吸收的偏光方向依賴性使其產生異向性的分解。又,藉由未分解而殘留的聚醯亞胺來使液晶配向(例如參考專利文獻1)。   [0009] 又,還已知光交聯型或光異構化型之光配向法。例如使用聚乙烯肉桂酸酯,照射偏光紫外線,使與偏光平行的2個側鏈的雙鍵部分產生二聚合反應(交聯反應)。又,使液晶在與偏光方向垂直的方向上配向(例如參考非專利文獻1)。又,使用側鏈具有偶氮苯的側鏈型高分子之情形時,照射偏光紫外線,使與偏光平行的側鏈的偶氮苯部分產生異構化反應,使液晶在與偏光方向垂直的方向上配向(例如參考非專利文獻2)。   [0010] 如以上之例子般,藉由光配向法之液晶配向膜之配向處理方法中,不需要摩擦,沒有揚塵或產生靜電之虞。又,即使對於表面有凹凸的液晶顯示元件的基板亦能施予配向處理,成為適合於工業上的生產製程之液晶配向膜之配向處理方法。 [先前技術文獻] [專利文獻]   [0011]   [專利文獻1] 日本專利第3893659號公報 [非專利文獻]   [0012]   [非專利文獻1] M.Shadt et al., Jpn.J.Appl.Phys.31, 2155(1992).   [非專利文獻2]K.Ichimura et al., Chem.Rev.100, 1847(2000).[0002] Liquid crystal display devices are known as light-weight, thin and low-power display devices. In recent years, they have been used in large-scale television applications and have achieved remarkable development. A liquid crystal display element is comprised, for example by sandwiching a liquid crystal layer between a pair of transparent substrates equipped with electrodes. In addition, in a liquid crystal display element, an organic film made of an organic material is used as a liquid crystal alignment film so that liquid crystals may be aligned in a desired state between substrates. [0003] That is, the liquid crystal alignment film is a constituent member of the liquid crystal display element, and is formed on the surface where the substrate holding the liquid crystal is in contact with the liquid crystal, and plays the role of aligning the liquid crystal in a certain direction between the substrates. In addition, the liquid crystal alignment film may also be required to control the pretilt angle of the liquid crystal in addition to the function of aligning the liquid crystal in a certain direction such as a direction parallel to the substrate. In such a liquid crystal alignment film, the ability to control the alignment of liquid crystals (hereinafter referred to as alignment control ability) can be imparted by performing an alignment treatment on the organic film constituting the liquid crystal alignment film. [0004] As an alignment treatment method for a liquid crystal alignment film for imparting alignment control capability, a rubbing method has been known. The so-called rubbing method refers to wiping (rubbing) the surface of an organic film such as polyvinyl alcohol or polyamide or polyimide on a substrate in a certain direction with cotton, nylon, polyester, etc., to make the liquid crystal A method of aligning in the direction of wiping (rubbing direction). Since this rubbing method can easily realize a relatively stable alignment state of liquid crystals, it is used in the conventional manufacturing process of liquid crystal display elements. In addition, as the organic film used in the liquid crystal alignment film, a polyimide-based organic film excellent in reliability such as heat resistance or in electrical characteristics is mainly selected. [0005] However, for the rubbing method of rubbing the surface of the liquid crystal alignment film made of polyimide or the like, there are problems of raising dust or generating static electricity. In addition, due to the high-definition of liquid crystal display elements in recent years, or the unevenness generated by the electrodes on the corresponding substrate or the active switching elements for liquid crystal driving, it is sometimes impossible to rub the surface of the liquid crystal alignment film evenly with a cloth, Therefore, uniform liquid crystal alignment cannot be realized. [0006] Therefore, as other alignment treatment methods for liquid crystal alignment films that cannot be rubbed, photo-alignment methods are actively being studied. [0007] There are various methods for photo-alignment. Linearly polarized light or collimated light is used to form anisotropy in the organic film constituting the liquid crystal alignment film, and the liquid crystal is aligned according to the anisotropy. [0008] As a main photo-alignment method, a decomposition-type photo-alignment method is known. For example, a polyimide film is irradiated with polarized ultraviolet rays, and the polarization direction dependence of ultraviolet absorption of the molecular structure is used to cause anisotropic decomposition. Moreover, the liquid crystal is aligned by the polyimide which remains undecomposed (for example, refer patent document 1). [0009] Also, photo-crosslinking or photo-isomerization photo-alignment methods are known. For example, polyvinyl cinnamate is used to irradiate polarized ultraviolet rays to cause a dimerization reaction (crosslinking reaction) at the double bond portion of the two side chains parallel to the polarized light. Also, liquid crystals are aligned in a direction perpendicular to the polarization direction (for example, refer to Non-Patent Document 1). In addition, when using a side chain type polymer having azobenzene in the side chain, irradiate polarized ultraviolet rays to cause an isomerization reaction of the azobenzene part of the side chain parallel to the polarized light, and make the liquid crystal in the direction perpendicular to the polarized light direction. Up alignment (for example, refer to Non-Patent Document 2). [0010] As in the above examples, in the alignment treatment method of the liquid crystal alignment film by the photo-alignment method, no rubbing is required, and there is no risk of dust or static electricity. In addition, alignment treatment can be applied even to substrates of liquid crystal display elements with concavo-convex surfaces, and it becomes an alignment treatment method for liquid crystal alignment films suitable for industrial production processes.

[發明所欲解決之課題]   [0013] 如以上般,光配向法係與一直以來作為液晶顯示元件的配向處理方法在工業上所利用的摩擦法相比,不需要摩擦步驟本身,因此具有很大的優點。又,與藉由摩擦而進行配向控制能大致一定的摩擦法相比,光配向法能改變偏光的光照射量從而控制配向控制能。然而,光配向法中,在想要實現與藉由摩擦法而進行之情形為相同程度的配向控制能時,有時需要大量的偏光的光照射量,或無法實現穩定的液晶配向。   [0014] 例如上述之專利文獻1中所記載的分解型的光配向法中,需要對聚醯亞胺膜照射60分鐘的來自輸出功率500W的高壓水銀燈的紫外光等,需要長時間且大量的紫外線照射。又,即使是二聚合型或光異構化型的光配向法之情形時,有時也需要數J(焦耳)~數十J左右的大量的紫外線照射。進而,光交聯型或光異構化型的光配向法之情形時,由於液晶的配向之熱穩定性或光穩定性差,故製成液晶顯示元件時將存在產生配向不良或顯示燒灼之類的問題。特別是橫向電場驅動型液晶顯示元件中,因為在面內進行液晶分子之開關,所以容易產生液晶驅動後的液晶的配向錯位,起因於AC驅動而引起顯示燒灼將成為較大的課題。   [0015] 因此,光配向法中,要求實現配向處理之高效率化或穩定的液晶配向,要求能高效率進行對液晶配向膜賦予高配向控制能之液晶配向膜及其製造方法。   [0016] 本發明之目的在於提供具有以高效率賦予配向控制能、且燒灼特性為優異的橫向電場驅動型液晶顯示元件用液晶配向膜之基板及具有該基板之橫向電場驅動型液晶顯示元件及其製造方法。 [解決課題之手段]   [0017] 本發明人為了達成上述課題經深入研究之結果發現以下之發明。   1. 一種具有下述液晶配向膜之基板之製造方法,其特徵係藉由具有下述步驟從而得到被賦予配向控制能之橫向電場驅動型液晶顯示元件用液晶配向膜,包括:   [I] 將含有(A)由二胺成分與酸二酐成分所得之聚合物、及(B)有機溶劑之聚合物組成物塗佈至具有橫向電場驅動用導電膜之基板上後,以由前述二胺成分與前述酸二酐成分所得之聚醯胺酸或聚醯胺酸酯為實質上未進行熱醯亞胺化之溫度下來予以乾燥從而形成塗膜之步驟,前述二胺成分包含下述式(1)(式(1)中,L係碳數2以上的二價有機基且同時包含伸烷基、與選自醚鍵及酯鍵之鍵結中之任1種,R1 及R2 係分別獨立為一價有機基,p1及p2係分別獨立為0~4的整數,p係0或1,q1及q2係分別獨立為1或2)所表示之二胺,前述酸二酐成分包含下述式(2)(式(2)中,R6 ~R9 係分別獨立為氫原子、烷基、鹵素原子或苯基)所表示之四羧酸二酐;   [II] 對[I]所得之塗膜照射偏光的紫外線之步驟;及   [III] 將[II]所得之塗膜進行加熱之步驟。   [0018]

The advantages. In addition, compared with the rubbing method in which the alignment control can be substantially constant by rubbing, the photo-alignment method can change the light irradiation amount of polarized light to control the alignment control ability. However, in the photo-alignment method, in order to achieve the same level of alignment control as that achieved by the rubbing method, a large amount of polarized light irradiation may be required, or stable liquid crystal alignment may not be achieved. For example, in the decomposed photoalignment method described in the above-mentioned patent document 1, it is necessary to irradiate the polyimide film with ultraviolet light from a high-pressure mercury lamp with an output power of 500W for 60 minutes, which requires a long time and a large amount of UV exposure. Also, even in the case of dimerization-type or photo-isomerization-type photoalignment methods, a large amount of ultraviolet irradiation of about several J (joules) to several tens of J may be required. Furthermore, in the case of photo-crosslinking or photo-isomerization photo-alignment methods, due to the poor thermal stability or light stability of liquid crystal alignment, there will be problems such as poor alignment or display burning when making liquid crystal display elements. The problem. Especially in the lateral electric field driven liquid crystal display element, since liquid crystal molecules are switched on and off in the plane, misalignment of the liquid crystal after liquid crystal driving is easy to occur, and display burn-in due to AC driving will become a big problem. Therefore, in the photo-alignment method, it is required to realize high-efficiency alignment treatment or stable liquid crystal alignment, and a liquid crystal alignment film capable of imparting high alignment control ability to the liquid crystal alignment film and its manufacturing method are required to be performed efficiently. The object of the present invention is to provide the substrate having the liquid crystal alignment film for the lateral electric field driven type liquid crystal display element with high efficiency endowing alignment control ability, and the burning characteristic is excellent and the lateral electric field driven type liquid crystal display element having the substrate and its method of manufacture. [Means for Solving the Problems] [0017] The present inventors have found the following inventions as a result of intensive research to achieve the above-mentioned problems. 1.

Moreover, after polarized light irradiation, the process of heating this main chain type polymer film forms the coating film (it is also called a liquid crystal alignment film hereafter) which provided the alignment control ability. At this time, the slight anisotropy presented by the polarized light irradiation will act as a driving force, and the main chain polymer itself can re-align more efficiently through self-organization. As a result, as a liquid crystal alignment film, a liquid crystal alignment film that realizes efficient alignment treatment and imparts high alignment control ability can be obtained.

  [II] 對[I]所得之塗膜照射偏光的紫外線之步驟;及   [III] 將[II]所得之塗膜進行加熱之步驟。   藉由上述步驟,從而可得到被賦予配向控制能之橫向電場驅動型液晶顯示元件用液晶配向膜,並可得到具有該液晶配向膜之基板。   [0071] 又,除了上述所得之基板(第1基板)之外,藉由準備第2基板,從而可得到橫向電場驅動型液晶顯示元件。   第2基板係除了使用不具有橫向電場驅動用導電膜之基板,來替代具有橫向電場驅動用導電膜之基板以外,藉由採用上述步驟[I]~[III](因為使用不具有橫向電場驅動用導電膜之基板,故方便起見,本案中有時也簡稱為步驟[I’]~[III’]),從而可得到具有被賦予配向控制能之液晶配向膜之第2基板。   [0072] 橫向電場驅動型液晶顯示元件之製造方法係具有下述步驟:   [IV] 使第1及第2基板的液晶配向膜介隔著液晶並相對之方式來對向配置上述所得之第1及第2基板,從而得到液晶顯示元件之步驟。據此,可得到橫向電場驅動型液晶顯示元件。   [0073] 以下,對於本發明之製造方法所具有之[I]~[III]、及[IV]的各步驟來進行說明。 <步驟[I]>   步驟[I]中,在具有橫向電場驅動用導電膜之基板上塗佈含有感光性主鏈型高分子及有機溶劑之聚合物組成物後,進行乾燥來形成塗膜。   [0074] <基板>   關於基板並無特別限定,若所製造的液晶顯示元件為透射型之情形時,以使用透明性高的基板為較佳。此情形時,無特別限定可使用玻璃基板、或丙烯酸基板或聚碳酸酯基板等的塑膠基板等。   又,考慮適用於反射型液晶顯示元件,亦可使用矽晶圓等的不透明的基板。   [0075] <橫向電場驅動用導電膜>   基板係具有橫向電場驅動用導電膜。   作為該導電膜,若液晶顯示元件為透射型之情形時,可舉出ITO(Indium Tin Oxide:氧化銦錫)、IZO(Indium Zinc Oxide:氧化銦鋅)等,但並非被限定於該等。   又,若為反射型液晶顯示元件之情形時,作為導電膜可舉出鋁等的反射光之材料等,但並非被限定於該等。   在基板上形成導電膜之方法係可使用以往周知的手法。   [0076] 將上述之聚合物組成物塗佈至具有橫向電場驅動用導電膜之基板上之方法並無特別限定。   塗佈方法係以工業上而言採用網板印刷、平板印刷、柔版印刷或噴墨法等來進行之方法為一般的。作為其他的塗佈方法係有浸漬法、輥塗佈機法、縫塗佈機法、旋轉器法(旋轉塗佈法)或噴霧法等,可因應目的來使用該等。   [0077] 在具有橫向電場驅動用導電膜之基板上塗佈聚合物組成物後,可藉由加熱板、熱循環型烘箱或IR(紅外線)型烘箱等的加熱手段,以30~150℃,較佳為70~110℃下使溶劑蒸發從而得到塗膜。若乾燥溫度過低時,溶劑的乾燥將會有變得不足之傾向;又若加熱溫度過高時,則會進行熱醯亞胺化,其結果,因偏光曝光而光分解反應將會過量地進行,此情形時,難以藉由自我組織化而朝單一方向進行再配向,故將會損及配向穩定性。因此,就液晶配向穩定性之觀點而言,此時的乾燥溫度係以特定聚合物實質上未進行熱醯亞胺化的溫度為較佳。   塗膜的厚度過厚時,則在液晶顯示元件的消耗電力方面不利,若過薄時,則有時液晶顯示元件的可靠性將會降低,故較佳為5nm~300nm,又較佳為10nm~150nm。   尚,亦可於[I]步驟之後,接下來的[II]步驟之前,設置將形成有塗膜之基板冷卻至室溫之步驟。   [0078] <步驟[II]>   於步驟[II]中,對步驟[I]所得之塗膜照射偏光的紫外線。對塗膜的膜面照射偏光的紫外線之情形時,從相對於基板為一定的方向介隔著偏光板來照射經偏光的紫外線。作為使用的紫外線係可使用在波長100nm~400nm的範圍內的紫外線。較佳為依據使用的塗膜的種類,介隔著過濾器等來選擇最佳的波長。又,例如為能夠選擇性的誘發光分解反應,可選擇波長240nm~400nm的範圍內的紫外線來使用。作為紫外線可使用例如從高壓水銀燈或金屬鹵素燈所放射的光。   [0079] 偏光的紫外線的照射量係取決於使用的塗膜。照射量係以設為可實現∆A的最大值(以下亦稱為∆Amax)之偏光紫外線的量的1%~70%的範圍內為較佳,以設為1%~50%的範圍內為又較佳,所述∆A係該塗膜中與偏光紫外線之偏光方向為平行方向之紫外線吸光度、和垂直方向之紫外線吸光度之差。   [0080] <步驟[III]>   於步驟[III]中,對步驟[II]中照射了偏光的紫外線之塗膜進行加熱。藉由加熱,可賦予塗膜配向控制能。   加熱係可使用加熱板、熱循環型烘箱或IR(紅外線)型烘箱等的加熱手段。加熱溫度係可考慮使用的塗膜所展現出良好的液晶配向穩定性及電特性的溫度來做決定。   [0081] 加熱溫度係以在主鏈型高分子展現出良好的液晶配向穩定性的溫度範圍內為較佳。若加熱溫度過低時,則因為熱所致之異向性的增大效果或熱醯亞胺化將會變得不足之傾向,又若加熱溫度高於溫度範圍時,藉由偏光曝光而被賦予的異向性將會有消失之傾向,此情形時,藉由自我組織化而在一方向上進行再配向會變得困難。   [0082] 加熱後所形成的塗膜的厚度,由於與步驟[I]中所記載之相同理由,故較佳為5nm~300nm,又較佳以50nm~150nm為宜。   [0083] 藉由具有以上之步驟,依據本發明之製造方法能夠實現高效率的對塗膜的異向性的導入。又,可高效率地製造附有液晶配向膜之基板。   [0084] <步驟[IV]>   [IV]步驟係如以下:將[III]所得之在橫向電場驅動用導電膜上具有液晶配向膜之基板(第1基板)、與相同地在上述[I’]~[III’]中所得之不具有導電膜之附有液晶配向膜之基板(第2基板),介隔著液晶並以雙方的液晶配向膜相對之方式來進行對向配置,並藉由周知的方法製作液晶晶胞,從而製作橫向電場驅動型液晶顯示元件之步驟。尚,步驟[I’]~[III’],除了在步驟[I]中使用不具有該橫向電場驅動用導電膜之基板,來替代具有橫向電場驅動用導電膜之基板以外,可與步驟[I]~[III]相同地來進行。步驟[I]~[III]與步驟[I’]~[III’]之不同點僅在於有無上述之導電膜,因此省略步驟[I’]~[III’]的說明。   [0085] 若要舉出液晶晶胞或液晶顯示元件之製作之一例子時,可示例下述方法:準備上述之第1及第2基板,在一片的基板的液晶配向膜上散布間隔件,以液晶配向膜面成為內側之方式來貼合另一片基板,減壓注入液晶並密封之方法,或是在散布間隔件的液晶配向膜面上滴加液晶後,將基板貼合並進行密封之方法等。此時,一側的基板係以使用具有如橫向電場驅動用的梳齒般的構造的電極之基板為較佳。此時的間隔件的直徑,係較佳為1μm~30μm,又較佳為2μm~10μm。該間隔件直徑決定挾持液晶層的一對基板間距離,即液晶層的厚度。   [0086] 本發明之附有塗膜之基板之製造方法係將聚合物組成物塗佈至基板上形成塗膜後,照射偏光的紫外線。接下來藉由進行加熱,實現對主鏈型高分子膜的高效率的異向性的導入,製造具備液晶的配向控制能之附有液晶配向膜之基板。   本發明中使用的塗膜中,利用藉由基於主鏈的光反應之自我組織化而誘發之分子再配向之原理,來實現對塗膜的高效率的異向性的導入。本發明之製造方法中,若在主鏈型高分子中具有光分解性基來作為光反應性基的構造之情形時,使用主鏈型高分子在基板上形成塗膜後,照射偏光的紫外線,接下來進行加熱後,製成液晶顯示元件。   [0087] 因此,本發明之方法中使用的塗膜,係藉由依序進行對塗膜照射偏光的紫外線與加熱處理,從而高效率地導入異向性,故可製成配向控制能為優異的液晶配向膜。   [0088] 又,本發明之方法中使用的塗膜中,將對塗膜照射之偏光的紫外線的照射量、與加熱處理中之加熱溫度進行最佳化。藉此,可實現高效率的對塗膜的異向性的導入。   [0089] 對本發明中所使用的塗膜以高效率導入異向性,作為最佳的偏光紫外線的照射量,係對應於該塗膜中感光性基產生光分解反應的量達到最佳時的偏光紫外線的照射量。若對本發明中所使用的塗膜照射偏光的紫外線之結果是進行光分解反應的感光性基少時,則達不到充分的光反應量。此情形時,之後即使加熱亦不會進行充分的自我組織化。   [0090] 因此,本發明中所使用的塗膜中,藉由偏光紫外線的照射而使感光性基進行光分解反應的最佳量,係以該高分子膜設為0.1莫耳%~90莫耳%為較佳,以0.1莫耳% ~80莫耳%為又較佳。藉由使進行光反應的感光性基的量設為如此般的範圍內,藉由之後的加熱處理,自我組織化將可效率佳地進行,將能高效率的在膜中形成異向性。   [0091] 本發明之方法中使用的塗膜中,藉由偏光的紫外線的照射量之最佳化,可將高分子膜的主鏈中之感光性基的光分解反應的量予以最佳化。又,合併之後的加熱處理,可實現高效率的、對本發明中所使用的塗膜的異向性的導入。此情形時,關於適合的偏光紫外線的量,可以基於本發明中所使用的塗膜的紫外吸收的評估來進行。   [0092] 即,對於本發明中所使用的塗膜,分別測定偏光紫外線照射後的與偏光的紫外線之偏光方向為平行方向之紫外線吸收,和垂直方向之紫外線吸收。從紫外吸收之測定結果,評估該塗膜中與偏光的紫外線之偏光方向為平行方向之紫外線吸光度、和垂直方向之紫外線吸光度之差(∆A)。又,求出本發明中所使用的塗膜中所實現的∆A的最大值(∆Amax),與實現該最大值的偏光紫外線的照射量。本發明之製造方法中,將實現該∆Amax的偏光紫外線照射量作為基準,可決定液晶配向膜的製造中所照射的偏光的紫外線量的較佳量。   [0093] 根據以上,本發明之製造方法中,為了實現對塗膜的高效率的異向性的導入,將該主鏈型高分子可賦予液晶配向穩定性的溫度範圍作為基準,來決定如上述般的適合的加熱溫度。因此,例如,本發明中所使用的主鏈型高分子為賦予液晶配向穩定性的溫度範圍,係可考慮使用的塗膜所展現出良好的液晶配向穩定性及電特性的溫度來做決定,可依據由以往的聚醯亞胺等所成之液晶配向膜的溫度範圍來做設定。即,偏光紫外線照射後的加熱溫度係以設為150℃~300℃為較佳,更希望設為180℃~250℃。藉此,本發明中所使用的塗膜中,將可賦予更大的異向性。   [0094] 藉此,由本發明所提供的液晶顯示元件對於光或熱等的外部應力將展現出高的可靠性。   [0095] 如以上般之方式,使用本發明之聚合物所製造的橫向電場驅動型液晶顯示元件用基板或具有該基板的橫向電場驅動型液晶顯示元件,由於可靠性為優異,故可適合利用於大畫面且高精細的液晶電視等。又,藉由本發明之方法所製造的液晶配向膜,由於具有優異的液晶配向穩定性與可靠性,故亦可利用於使用液晶的可變相移器,該可變相移器係可適合利用於例如能改變共振周波數的天線等。 [實施例]   [0096] 實施例中使用的簡稱係如以下般。   NMP:N-甲基-2-吡咯啶酮   BCS:丁基溶纖劑   DA-1:下述構造式(DA-1)   DA-2:下述構造式(DA-2)   DA-3:下述構造式(DA-3)   DA-4:下述構造式(DA-4)   DA-5:下述構造式(DA-5)   DA-6:下述構造式(DA-6)   DA-7:下述構造式(DA-7)   DA-8:下述構造式(DA-8)   DA-9:下述構造式(DA-9)   DA-10:下述構造式(DA-10)   CA-1:下述構造式(CA-1)   [0097]

製作具備FFS方式之液晶顯示元件之構成的液晶晶胞。首先,準備附有電極的基板。基板為30mm×35mm的大小、厚度為0.7mm的玻璃基板。於基板上作為第1層全面地形成構成對向電極的IZO電極。於第1層的對向電極之上,作為第2層形成了藉由CVD法而成膜的SiN(氮化矽)膜。第2層的SiN膜的膜厚為500nm,作為層間絕緣膜發揮作用。於第2層的SiN膜之上,作為第3層配置了將IZO膜圖型化而形成的梳齒狀的像素電極,以形成了第1像素及第2像素這2個像素。各像素的尺寸為長10mm、寬約5mm。此時,第1層的對向電極與第3層的像素電極係藉由第2層的SiN膜的作用而為電絕緣。   第3層的像素電極與特開2014-77845(日本國公開專利公報)所記載的圖相同,具有排列多個中央部分彎曲的“く”字形狀的電極要素所構成的梳齒狀的形狀。各電極要素的寬度方向的寬為3μm,電極要素間的間隔為6μm。形成各像素的像素電極由排列多個中央部分彎曲的“く”字形狀的電極要素所構成,因此各像素的形狀不是長方形,而是具備與電極要素相同地在中央部分彎曲的、與粗體的“く”字相似的形狀。而且,各像素係以其中央的彎曲部分為界被上下分割,具有彎曲部分的上側的第1區域與下側的第2區域。   若比較各像素的第1區域與第2區域時,則構成此等的像素電極的電極要素的形成方向為不同。即,將對基板投影後述之偏光紫外線的偏光面之線段的方向作為基準時,像素的第1區域中,像素電極的電極要素以成為+10°的角度(順時針轉)之方式形成,像素的第2區域中,像素電極的電極要素以成為-10°的角度(順時針轉)之方式形成。即,各像素的第1區域與第2區域中,以藉由像素電極與對向電極之間的電壓外加而所誘發的液晶的、在基板面內的旋轉動作(面內轉向)的方向互為相反方向之方式來構成。   [0111]

The amine component consists of diamine represented by the above formula (1), and the acid dianhydride component contains tetracarboxylic dianhydride represented by the above formula (2); and [III] the step of heating the coating film obtained in [II]. Through the above steps, a liquid crystal alignment film for a lateral electric field driven liquid crystal display element endowed with alignment control ability can be obtained, and a substrate having the liquid crystal alignment film can be obtained. [0071] Also, in addition to the substrate (first substrate) obtained above, by preparing a second substrate, a lateral electric field drive type liquid crystal display element can be obtained. In addition to using a substrate without a transverse electric field drive conductive film instead of a substrate with a transverse electric field drive conductive film, the second substrate is obtained by using the above steps [I]~[III] (because the substrate without a transverse electric field drive For the sake of convenience, this case is sometimes referred to as steps [I']~[III']), so as to obtain a second substrate with a liquid crystal alignment film endowed with alignment control ability. The manufacture method of lateral electric field drive type liquid crystal display element is to have following steps: [IV] make the liquid crystal alignment film of the 1st and the 2nd substrate interpose the liquid crystal and the mode opposite to dispose the 1st of above-mentioned gain and the second substrate to obtain a liquid crystal display element. Accordingly, a lateral electric field drive type liquid crystal display element can be obtained. [0073] Hereinafter, each step of [I] to [III] and [IV] in the production method of the present invention will be described. <Step [I]> In step [I], a polymer composition containing a photosensitive main chain type polymer and an organic solvent is coated on a substrate having a conductive film for driving a transverse electric field, and then dried to form a coating film. [0074] <Substrate> There is no particular limitation on the substrate. If the manufactured liquid crystal display element is a transmissive type, it is better to use a highly transparent substrate. In this case, a glass substrate, a plastic substrate such as an acrylic substrate or a polycarbonate substrate, or the like can be used without particular limitation. In addition, in consideration of application to reflective liquid crystal display elements, opaque substrates such as silicon wafers may also be used. [0075] <Conductive film for lateral electric field driving> The substrate has a conductive film for lateral electric field driving. As the conductive film, when the liquid crystal display device is a transmissive type, ITO (Indium Tin Oxide: Indium Tin Oxide), IZO (Indium Zinc Oxide: Indium Zinc Oxide) and the like can be mentioned, but not limited thereto. Moreover, in the case of a reflection type liquid crystal display element, although the material etc. which reflect light, such as aluminum, are mentioned as a conductive film, it is not limited to these. As a method of forming a conductive film on a substrate, conventionally known methods can be used. [0076] The method of coating the above-mentioned polymer composition onto a substrate having a conductive film for driving a transverse electric field is not particularly limited. Coating methods are generally industrially performed by screen printing, offset printing, flexographic printing, or inkjet methods. As other coating methods, there are dipping method, roll coater method, slot coater method, spinner method (spin coater method), spray method, etc., and these can be used depending on the purpose. After the polymer composition is coated on the substrate with the conductive film for driving by the transverse electric field, it can be heated at 30 to 150° C. by heating means such as a heating plate, a thermal cycle oven or an IR (infrared) oven, etc. Preferably, the solvent is evaporated at 70 to 110° C. to obtain a coating film. If the drying temperature is too low, the drying of the solvent tends to become insufficient; and if the heating temperature is too high, thermal imidization will proceed, and as a result, the photodecomposition reaction due to polarized light exposure will be excessive. In this case, it is difficult to re-align in a single direction through self-organization, so the alignment stability will be impaired. Therefore, from the viewpoint of liquid crystal alignment stability, the drying temperature at this time is preferably a temperature at which the thermal imidization of the specific polymer is not substantially performed. When the thickness of the coating film is too thick, it is disadvantageous in terms of power consumption of the liquid crystal display element. If it is too thin, the reliability of the liquid crystal display element may decrease, so it is preferably 5nm to 300nm, and more preferably 10nm ~150nm. Furthermore, a step of cooling the substrate on which the coating film is formed to room temperature may be provided after the step [I] and before the next step [II]. [0078] <Step [II]> In step [II], polarized ultraviolet rays are irradiated to the coating film obtained in step [I]. When irradiating the polarized ultraviolet ray to the film surface of a coating film, the polarized ultraviolet ray is irradiated from the direction fixed with respect to a board|substrate through a polarizing plate. As the ultraviolet system used, ultraviolet rays within a wavelength range of 100 nm to 400 nm can be used. It is preferable to select an optimal wavelength through a filter or the like depending on the type of coating film to be used. In addition, for example, in order to selectively induce a photodecomposition reaction, ultraviolet rays within a wavelength range of 240 nm to 400 nm can be selected and used. As ultraviolet rays, for example, light emitted from a high-pressure mercury lamp or a metal halide lamp can be used. [0079] The irradiation amount of polarized ultraviolet rays depends on the coating film used. It is better to set the irradiation dose within the range of 1% to 70% of the amount of polarized ultraviolet rays that can realize the maximum value of ∆A (hereinafter also referred to as ∆Amax), and to set it within the range of 1% to 50%. More preferably, said ∆A is the difference between the ultraviolet absorbance in the direction parallel to the polarization direction of polarized ultraviolet rays in the coating film and the ultraviolet absorbance in the vertical direction. [0080] <Step [III]> In step [III], the coating film irradiated with polarized ultraviolet rays in step [II] is heated. By heating, an orientation control function can be imparted to the coating film. For the heating system, heating means such as a hot plate, a heat circulation type oven, or an IR (infrared ray) type oven can be used. The heating temperature can be determined by considering the temperature at which the coating film used exhibits good liquid crystal alignment stability and electrical characteristics. [0081] The heating temperature is preferably in the temperature range where the main chain type polymer exhibits good liquid crystal alignment stability. If the heating temperature is too low, the effect of increasing the anisotropy due to heat or thermal imidization tends to be insufficient, and if the heating temperature is higher than the temperature range, it will be exposed by polarized light The endowed anisotropy will tend to disappear, in which case reorientation in one direction by self-organization becomes difficult. The thickness of the formed coating film after heating, owing to the same reason as being recorded in the step [1], so preferably 5nm~300nm, is preferably again advisable with 50nm~150nm. [0083] By having the above steps, the manufacturing method according to the present invention can realize efficient introduction of anisotropy to the coating film. In addition, substrates with liquid crystal alignment films can be manufactured efficiently. <step [IV]> [IV] step is as follows: the substrate (the 1st substrate) that has liquid crystal alignment film on the conductive film of lateral electric field driving with [III] gained, same as above-mentioned [I The substrate (second substrate) with a liquid crystal alignment film without a conductive film obtained in ']~[III'] is arranged in opposite directions with the liquid crystal alignment films on both sides facing each other through the liquid crystal, and by The process of fabricating a liquid crystal cell by a well-known method, thereby fabricating a lateral electric field-driven liquid crystal display element. Still, steps [I']~[III'], except that in step [I], a substrate that does not have the conductive film for driving the transverse electric field is used to replace the substrate with the conductive film for driving the transverse electric field, and the step [ I]~[III] are carried out in the same way. The difference between steps [I]~[III] and steps [I']~[III'] lies in the presence or absence of the above-mentioned conductive film, so the description of steps [I']~[III'] is omitted. When enumerating one example of the making of liquid crystal cell or liquid crystal display element, following method can be exemplified: prepare above-mentioned 1st and the 2nd substrate, spread spacer on the liquid crystal alignment film of a substrate, Lay another substrate with the surface of the liquid crystal alignment film on the inside, inject liquid crystal under reduced pressure and seal it, or drop liquid crystal on the surface of the liquid crystal alignment film where spacers are scattered, and then bond the substrate and seal it Wait. In this case, it is preferable to use a substrate having an electrode having a comb-like structure for driving in a transverse electric field as one of the substrates. At this time, the diameter of the spacer is preferably 1 μm to 30 μm, and more preferably 2 μm to 10 μm. The diameter of the spacer determines the distance between a pair of substrates sandwiching the liquid crystal layer, that is, the thickness of the liquid crystal layer. [0086] The method of manufacturing a substrate with a coating film of the present invention is to apply a polymer composition to a substrate to form a coating film, and then irradiate polarized ultraviolet rays. Next, by heating, high-efficiency introduction of anisotropy to the main chain type polymer film is realized, and a substrate with a liquid crystal alignment film with alignment control ability of liquid crystal is manufactured. In the coating film used in the present invention, efficient introduction of anisotropy into the coating film is realized by utilizing the principle of molecular reorientation induced by self-organization based on the photoreaction of the main chain. In the production method of the present invention, in the case where the main chain type polymer has a photodecomposable group as the structure of the photoreactive group, after forming a coating film on the substrate using the main chain type polymer, irradiate polarized ultraviolet rays , and then heated to make a liquid crystal display element. Therefore, the coating film used in the method of the present invention can efficiently introduce anisotropy by sequentially irradiating polarized ultraviolet rays and heat treatment on the coating film, so that it can be made to have excellent alignment control performance. Liquid crystal alignment film. [0088] Also, in the coating film used in the method of the present invention, the irradiation amount of polarized ultraviolet rays irradiated to the coating film and the heating temperature in the heat treatment are optimized. Thereby, efficient introduction of anisotropy to the coating film can be realized. The coating film used in the present invention introduces anisotropy with high efficiency, and as the best irradiation amount of polarized ultraviolet rays, it is corresponding to the amount when the photodecomposition reaction of the photosensitive group in the coating film is optimal. Exposure to polarized UV rays. As a result of irradiating polarized ultraviolet rays to the coating film used in the present invention, if there are few photosensitive groups that undergo a photodecomposition reaction, a sufficient amount of photoreaction will not be achieved. In this case, sufficient self-organization will not proceed even after heating. Therefore, in the coating film used among the present invention, by the irradiation of polarizing ultraviolet ray, the optimal amount that makes photosensitive group carry out photolysis reaction, is set as 0.1 mol %~90 mol with this macromolecule film Mole% is better, and 0.1 mol% ~ 80 mol% is more preferably. By setting the amount of the photosensitive group that undergoes photoreaction within such a range, self-organization can be efficiently performed by subsequent heat treatment, and anisotropy can be efficiently formed in the film. In the coating film used in the method of the present invention, by optimizing the irradiation amount of polarized ultraviolet rays, the amount of photodecomposition reaction of the photosensitive group in the main chain of the polymer film can be optimized . In addition, the heat treatment after combining enables efficient introduction of anisotropy to the coating film used in the present invention. In this case, the amount of suitable polarized ultraviolet rays can be based on the evaluation of the ultraviolet absorption of the coating film used in the present invention. That is, for the coating film used in the present invention, the ultraviolet absorption in the parallel direction and the ultraviolet absorption in the vertical direction after the polarized ultraviolet irradiation are measured respectively. From the measurement results of ultraviolet absorption, the difference (∆A) between the ultraviolet absorbance in the direction parallel to the polarization direction of the polarized ultraviolet rays in the coating film and the ultraviolet absorbance in the perpendicular direction is evaluated. Also, the maximum value of ΔA (ΔAmax) realized in the coating film used in the present invention and the irradiation amount of polarized ultraviolet rays to realize the maximum value were obtained. In the manufacturing method of the present invention, the optimal amount of polarized ultraviolet rays irradiated in the manufacture of the liquid crystal alignment film can be determined by taking the amount of polarized ultraviolet rays that realizes the ΔAmax as a reference. Based on the above, in the manufacturing method of the present invention, in order to realize the introduction of the high-efficiency anisotropy of the coating film, the temperature range that the main chain type macromolecule can give liquid crystal alignment stability is used as a benchmark to determine such as Suitable heating temperature as above. Therefore, for example, the main chain type polymer used in the present invention is the temperature range for imparting liquid crystal alignment stability, which can be determined by considering the temperature at which the coating film used exhibits good liquid crystal alignment stability and electrical properties. It can be set according to the temperature range of the liquid crystal alignment film made of conventional polyimide, etc. That is, the heating temperature after polarized ultraviolet irradiation is preferably 150°C to 300°C, more preferably 180°C to 250°C. Thereby, larger anisotropy can be imparted to the coating film used by this invention. [0094] Accordingly, the liquid crystal display element provided by the present invention exhibits high reliability against external stress such as light or heat. As above, the substrate for the transverse electric field driven liquid crystal display element manufactured by the polymer of the present invention or the transverse electric field driven liquid crystal display element with the substrate is excellent in reliability, so it can be suitably used For large-screen and high-definition LCD TVs, etc. In addition, the liquid crystal alignment film manufactured by the method of the present invention has excellent liquid crystal alignment stability and reliability, so it can also be used in a variable phase shifter using liquid crystals. The variable phase shifter can be used in, for example, Antennas that can change the frequency of resonance, etc. [Example] [0096] The abbreviations used in the examples are as follows.

A liquid crystal cell having a configuration of a liquid crystal display element of the FFS method was produced. First, a substrate with electrodes is prepared. The substrate was a glass substrate having a size of 30 mm×35 mm and a thickness of 0.7 mm. An IZO electrode constituting a counter electrode is formed entirely on the substrate as a first layer. On the counter electrode of the first layer, a SiN (silicon nitride) film formed by a CVD method was formed as a second layer. The SiN film of the second layer has a film thickness of 500 nm and functions as an interlayer insulating film. On the SiN film of the second layer, a comb-shaped pixel electrode formed by patterning an IZO film was arranged as a third layer to form two pixels of a first pixel and a second pixel. The size of each pixel is about 10 mm in length and about 5 mm 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. The pixel electrode of the third layer has a comb-tooth-like shape consisting of arranging a plurality of "く"-shaped electrode elements bent at the center, as shown in JP-A-2014-77845 (Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication). The width of each electrode element in the width direction was 3 μm, and the interval between electrode elements was 6 μm. The pixel electrode forming each pixel is composed of a plurality of "く"-shaped electrode elements that are bent at the center. Therefore, the shape of each pixel is not a rectangle, but has the same electrode elements as the electrode elements. The shape of the "く" character is similar. Furthermore, each pixel is divided up and down with a curved portion at the center thereof, and has a first region above the curved portion and a second region below the curved portion. When comparing the first region and the second region of each pixel, the formation directions of the electrode elements constituting these pixel electrodes are different. That is, when the direction of the line segment of the polarizing plane that projects polarized ultraviolet light described later on the substrate is taken as a reference, in the first region of the pixel, the electrode elements of the pixel electrode are formed at an angle of +10° (turned clockwise), and the pixel In the second region of , the electrode elements of the pixel electrode are formed at an angle of -10° (clockwise). That is, in the first region and the second region of each pixel, the direction of the rotation motion (in-plane turning) of the liquid crystal induced by the voltage application between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode in the substrate plane is mutually opposite. Constructed in the opposite direction. [0111] Next, after filtering the liquid crystal alignment agents obtained in the synthesis examples and comparative synthesis examples with a filter of 1.0 μm, they were coated onto the prepared above-mentioned substrate with electrodes by spin coating. Next, it was dried for 90 seconds on a hot plate set at 70°C. Next, using an exposure device made by Ushio Electric Co., Ltd.: APL-L050121S1S-APW01, through a wavelength selection filter and a polarizing plate, the substrate is irradiated with linearly polarized light of ultraviolet rays from the vertical direction. At this time, the direction of the line segment of the polarization plane of the polarized ultraviolet rays projected on the substrate is set so that the direction of the polarization plane is inclined by 10° with respect to the third-layer IZO comb electrode. Next, firing was performed for 30 minutes in an IR (infrared ray) oven set at 230° C. to obtain a 100-nm-thick polyimide liquid crystal alignment film-attached substrate subjected to alignment treatment. Also, as the opposite substrate, a glass substrate with a columnar spacer with a height of 4 μm formed on the inside of the ITO electrode was also used in the same manner as above to obtain a polyimide liquid crystal alignment film with an alignment treatment. the substrate. These 2 substrates with liquid crystal alignment film are used as a group, and the sealant is printed on one of the substrates in the form of leaving the liquid crystal injection port, and the other substrate is facing each other with the liquid crystal alignment film surface, and the substrate is projected The directions of the line segments of the polarized surface of the polarized ultraviolet light are aligned and pressed in parallel. After that, the sealant was cured to produce empty cells with a cell pitch of 4 μm. Liquid crystal MLC-7026-100 (negative type liquid crystal manufactured by Merck) was injected into the empty cell by the reduced-pressure injection method, and the injection port was sealed to obtain a liquid crystal cell of the FFS method. After that, the obtained liquid crystal cell was heated at 120° C. for 30 minutes, and left overnight at 23° C. for evaluation of liquid crystal alignment. <Evaluation of Liquid Crystal Alignment> Using the liquid crystal unit cell, an AC voltage of 16VPP was applied at a frequency of 30Hz for 168 hours under a constant temperature environment of 70°C. After that, between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode of the liquid crystal cell was made into a short-circuit state, and it was left to stand at 23 degreeC overnight while maintaining this state. After placement, the liquid crystal cell is placed between two polarizers arranged so that the polarization axis is vertical, and the backlight is turned on in the state of no external voltage, and the brightness of the transmitted light is adjusted to the minimum. The configuration angle of the liquid crystal cell. Then, the angle Δ was calculated as the angle Δ for rotating the liquid crystal cell from the angle at which the second region of the first pixel becomes darkest to the angle at which the first region becomes darkest. Similarly for the second pixel, the same angle Δ is calculated by comparing the second area with the first area. Furthermore, the average value of the angle Δ values of the first pixel and the second pixel was calculated as the angle Δ of the liquid crystal cell. When the value of the angle ∆ of the liquid crystal cell was less than 1.0°, it was defined as "good", and when the value of the angle ∆ was 1.0° or more, it was defined as "defective" and evaluated. (Example 1) Using the liquid crystal alignment agent (A-1) obtained in Synthesis Example 1, a liquid crystal unit cell as described above was prepared. Irradiation of polarized ultraviolet rays was performed using a high-pressure mercury lamp through a wavelength selection filter: 240LCF, and a 254nm type polarizing plate. The irradiation amount of polarized ultraviolet rays is measured by using an illuminance meter UVD-S254SB manufactured by Ushio Electric Co., Ltd., and it is implemented by changing the range of 600~1500mJ/ cm2 at a wavelength of 254nm, so as to make more than three Liquid crystal cells with varying amounts of polarized ultraviolet light. As a result of evaluating the liquid crystal alignment of these liquid crystal cells, the angle ∆ is the optimal polarized ultraviolet irradiation dose of 1200mJ/cm 2 , and the angle ∆ is 0.13°. (Examples 2-6) Except for using the liquid crystal alignment agent obtained in Synthesis Examples 2-6, the same method as in Example 1 was used to evaluate the liquid crystal alignment. (Comparative Examples 1-4) Except for using the liquid crystal alignment agent obtained in Comparative Synthesis Examples 1-4, the same method as in Example 1 was used to evaluate the liquid crystal alignment. [0116] Table 1 shows that when using the liquid crystal alignment agent obtained in the synthetic example and the comparative synthetic example, the angle ∆ is the best polarized ultraviolet irradiation amount and the result of the evaluation of the liquid crystal alignment. [0117]
Figure 02_image043
As shown in Table 1, in Examples 1 to 6, the difference (angle ∆) of the alignment azimuth angles before and after the AC drive is less than 1.0° is good, so the display quality of the liquid crystal display element is improved to be excellent. On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 1 to 4, the angle ∆ was 1.0° or more, which was considered unfavorable. It was confirmed that the liquid crystal display element manufactured by the method of the present invention exhibits very excellent afterimage characteristics. [Industrial Applicability] The substrate for a lateral electric field driven liquid crystal display element manufactured using the composition of the present invention or a lateral electric field driven liquid crystal display element having the substrate has excellent long-term stability of liquid crystal alignment, so It can be suitably used in large-screen and high-definition LCD TVs, etc. In addition, the liquid crystal alignment film produced by the method of the present invention can also be used in a variable phase shifter using liquid crystals, and the variable phase shifter can be suitably used in, for example, antennas capable of changing the frequency of resonance.
