Definitions
- LCDs Liquid crystal displays
- the basic components of a typical LCD consist of a thin layer of liquid crystals, two plates each coated with an alignment layer and a pair of polarizers.
- the first step involves the preparation of the electrode plates.
- the deposition and patterning of color filter elements are often carried out on the top electrode plate and the formation of thin film transistors and metal interconnect lines is carried out on the bottom plate.
- transparent electrodes are patterned on both facing plates in perpendicular arrays and color filters on the viewing plate provide the full color display.
- alignment layers are then coated on the electrode plates and rubbed or buffed carefully to control the orientation and pretilt angle of the liquid crystals.
- the top and the bottom plates are then joined together using an edge sea!
- LC liquid crystal
- the holes are filled with a sealant and the display cell is laminated with polarizer films and optionally a retardation film, compensation film or light management film, connected with driver circuitry, and assembled with a backlight unit and a frame to complete the display assembly.
- the space created between the two plates is evacuated and the LC composition is introduced into the cell through the hole(s) left in the edge sealant.
- This step results in significant waste of the LC composition and is typically a very slow process particularly for LCDs having a narrow cell gap.
- the time required for the LC filling using the conventional process increases dramatically.
- the requirement of a narrower cell gap, in-plane switching (IPS) for a high speed or wide viewing angle renders the LC filling step even slower.
- 4 to 6 hours of the filling and sealing time is typically required for a 15" LCD and up to 20 hours has been reported for a 22" LCD.
- Review of the traditional LCD assembling processes can be found in "Liquid Crystal Flat Panel Displays: Manufacturing Sciences & Technology" by W.C.
- LC dropping method has been disclosed to shorten the LC filling time [see S. Yanada et al in SID 01 Digest, pp. 1350 (2001); H. Kamiya et al, in SID 01 Digest, pp. 1354 (2001) and references cited therein].
- the LC dropping process includes (1) applying a UV edge sealant on an electrode plate, (2) dropping the liquid crystals onto the surface, (3) assembling display cell by adhering a second substrate under vacuum to the first electrode plate via the edge sealant, and (4) hardening the sealant by, for example, UV.
- the process reduces the LC filling time and also reduces waste of the expensive LC material. However, the process is not straightforward for the production of large display panels.
- a vacuuming step is needed to assemble the display cell.
- a precise volume of the LC composition must be dripped onto the plate.
- Use of excess of the liquid crystal composition may result in defects or poor adhesion due to undesirable contamination of the sealant by the LC composition.
- insufficient liquid crystal composition tends to result in undesirable air pockets trapped in the display cell.
- the electrode plate may be bended by vacuum and deviation of the LC volume in the cell may occur. This is particularly true when soft or mobile spacers are used to define the cell gap.
- non-uniform hardening of the edge sealant may occur due to the presence of opaque patterns in most TFT (thin film transistor) LCDs.
- This invention is directed to novel compositions and an assembly process for the manufacture of liquid crystal displays.
- the assembly process is especially advantageous because it can be easily scalable to roll-to-roll continuous manufacturing of liquid crystal displays.

- the photoalignable top-sealing composition is immiscible with the liquid crystal composition and has a specific gravity no greater than or preferably lower than that of the liquid crystal composition.
- the second aspect of the present invention is directed to a group of novel photoalignment polymers, oligomers and precursors thereof suitable to be used in a photoalignable top-sealing composition.
- the third aspect of the invention is directed to processes for top-sealing a liquid crystal display cell.
- the fourth aspect of the invention is a novel assembly process for liquid crystal devices.
- the fifth aspect of the invention is directed to a liquid crystal d splay wherein the display cell is top-sealed by a photoalignable top-sealing compos tion of t e present invention, in particular a photoalignable top-sealing composit on comprising a novel photoalignable polymer, oligomer or a precursor thereof of the present invention.

Interfacial polymerization or crosslinking at the interface between the liquid crystals and photoalignable layer may be beneficial to the sealing process.
- Intermixing between the liquid crystal composition and the photoalignable overcoat can be significantly suppressed by the formation of a thin barrier layer at the interface by the interfacial polymerization or crosslinking reaction.
- the specific gravity of the photoalignable top- sealing composition is no greater than that of the liquid crystals.
- Volatile organic solvents as described above may be used to adjust the viscosity and specific gravity of the photoalignment composition, and the dry thickness of the coating.
- a volatile solvent used in the photoalignable top- sealing composition, it is also preferred that it is immiscible with the liquid crystal composition and has a specific gravity no greater than that of the liquid crystal phase.
- the two-pass overcoating process is particularly useful when the component(s) of the liquid crystal phase is at least partially soluble in the photoalignment composition, or vice versa.
- the filled display bottom substrate may be chilled before the photoalignable composition is overcoated.
- Solvents, thickeners or additives may also be used in the two-pass process to optimize the rheology, wetting and tenting properties for the two-pass sealing method.
- the hardening of the photoalignable top-sealing composition in either method described above may be accomplished by heat, moisture, solvent evaporation or exposure to radiation such as a polarized (UV) light.
- the polarized (UV) light may be used to simultaneously harden the photoalignable top-sealing composition and align the liquid crystals through the photoalignable layer.
- the photoalignable layer may be hardened first by other means, and subsequently photoaligned by exposure to a polarized light.
- the top-sealing layer (16) formed by either the one- pass or two-pass process not only seamlessly encloses the liquid crystal composition within the display cell(s), but also serves as the alignment layer for the liquid crystal composition.

- An additional layer (17) such as an adhesive, overcoat layer or color filter may be added between the top substrate or electrode plate and the photoaligned sealing layer to improve the process latitude or display performance.
- the top substrate may be disposed onto the top-sealing layer first, and the latter is subsequently photoaligned with a polarized (UV) light through one of the substrate(s).
- the polarized light exposure may be carried out under an electric field to further enhance the efficiency of photoalignment.
- the top-sealing/photoalignment layer may have a thickness in the range of about 1 to about 20 microns, preferably from about 1 to about 8 microns and more preferably from about 2 to about 4 microns.

- 31 , 32, 32a, 33 and 38 are the second (top) substrate, the first (bottom) substrate, the first alignment layer, the spacers or edge walls and the second and top-sealing alignment layer, respectively.
- the top-sealing alignment layer (38) may be in contact with the inside surface (33a) of the spacers or edge walls (33).
- a wetting curvature may be beneficial for improved tenting and adhesion properties.
- the curved portion should be kept small to achieve a wider viewing area (or a higher aperture ratio).
- Polarizer films are composite films which contain the pressure sensitive adhesive layer needed to attach the polarizer to the glass.
- the direction of polarization is selected for each side of the glass substrate.
- the polarizers will be set at this angle with respect to one another. This allows light passing from one side and rotated by the liquid crystals to pass through the other side, a "normal" white condition.
- a retarder or compensation film is applied prior to the polarizer. Compensation films are useful for correction of a distinct yellow or blue color in STN displays. True black and white displays can be obtained, and viewing angle is also increased using compensation films. Suitable film materials include polycarbonate and polymethyl methacrylate.
- a completed display will ordinarily have driver integrated circuits mounted on or near one of the glass substrates. The mounting is accomplished by conventional means. Backlighting for the liquid crystal displays are also known in the art and is described in "Liquid Crystal Flat Panel Displays" by William C. O'mara, 1993. It should be noted that the novel assembly process of the present invention can also be carried out in an automated manner continuously or semi-continuously. A conveyor type of assembly process is particularly suitable for LCD assembling.
