- the inventor of the present application has analyzed in detail the cause of the above-described problem in a liquid crystal display device having a photo-alignment film. Since the liquid crystal display device is a non-light emitting display element, the liquid crystal display device includes an illuminating device, and displays light by modulating light of the illuminating device power with a liquid crystal panel. The inventor of the present application has found out that a very small amount of ultraviolet light is emitted from the illumination device, and that the ultraviolet light deteriorates the photo-alignment film, thereby causing alignment disorder and a decrease in voltage holding ratio.
- a cold cathode tube is used as a light source.
- mercury enclosed in the tube is first excited by discharge to emit ultraviolet light, and the ultraviolet light excites the phosphor encapsulated in the tube to produce visible light (typically red). , Light including green and blue light). That is, the cold cathode tube first generates ultraviolet light and secondarily generates visible light by the ultraviolet light.
- LCD TVs are installed in living rooms and are expected to be used for a very long time. For this reason, LCD TVs need to be reliable enough to provide stable display for about 40,000 hours (10 hours Z days x 365 days x 10 years). In such a long-time use, deterioration of the photo-alignment film due to the illumination device's ultraviolet light becomes a serious problem.
- FIG. 1 shows a liquid crystal display device 100 according to this embodiment.
- the liquid crystal display device 100 includes an illumination device 10A and a liquid crystal panel 20 that performs display using light emitted from the illumination device 10A. Between the illuminating device 10A and the liquid crystal panel 20, there is provided a diffusion sheet 30 that diffuses the light of the illuminating device 10A.
- the liquid crystal panel 20 includes a pair of substrates (for example, glass substrates) 20a and 20b, a liquid crystal layer 21 provided therebetween, and a pair provided on the liquid crystal layer 21 side of the pair of substrates 20a and 20b. Alignment films 22a and 22b. Although not shown here, electrodes for applying a voltage to the liquid crystal layer 21 are formed on the substrates 20a and 2Ob.
- Each of the pair of alignment films 22a and 22b is a photo-alignment film to which an alignment regulating force is applied by a photo-alignment process.
- the photo-alignment films 22a and 22b photo-alignment films formed by a known method can be widely used.
- the arrangement Although the case where both of the counter films 22a and 22b are photo-alignment films is illustrated, the effect of the present invention can be obtained if at least one of them is a photo-alignment film.
- the illumination device 10A is an LED array including a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged in a matrix as a light source. Specifically, the lighting device 10A includes a red LED 12R, a green LED 12G, and a blue LED 12B!
- LEDs light emitting diodes
- the red LED 12R, the green LED 12G, and the blue LED 12B emit red light, green light, and blue light, respectively, by recombination of electrons and holes that occur in a pn junction that is biased in the forward direction. That is, the red LED 12R, the green LED 12G, and the blue LED 12B generate red light, green light, and blue light primarily, respectively, and the liquid crystal panel 20 is irradiated with white light including these lights. And used for color display.
- the illuminating device 10A of the liquid crystal display device 100 includes a light source that firstly (that is, directly) generates light used for display. Deterioration is difficult to occur. For this reason, high-quality display can be performed over a long period of time, in which it is difficult for alignment disorder and voltage holding ratio to decrease due to deterioration of the photo-alignment film.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the illumination device 10A including the red LED 12R, the green LED 12G, and the blue LED 12B
- An illumination device including a blue LED and a phosphor that absorbs light of blue LED power and emits light in a longer wavelength range may be used.
- You may use the illuminating device provided with the red fluorescent substance which emits light. Deterioration of the photo-alignment film can be suppressed by using an illumination device that includes a light source that primarily emits at least blue light among light used for display.
- lighting device 10A shown in FIG. 1 is a direct-type lighting device in which LEDs are arranged in a matrix immediately below liquid crystal panel 20, other types of lighting devices may be used.
- the LED 12 is disposed on the end surface of the light guide plate 14 provided on the back side of the liquid crystal panel 20, and the side light that guides the light from the LED 12 to the liquid crystal panel 20 by the light guide plate 14. It may be a type of lighting device.

- FIG. 3 schematically shows an active matrix substrate 20a of a VA mode liquid crystal panel.
- a plurality of scanning wirings 23 extending substantially parallel to each other, a plurality of signal wirings 24 extending in a direction intersecting the scanning wirings 23, and the corresponding scanning wirings 23 and signal wirings 24 are electrically connected.
- the TFT 25 thus formed and the pixel electrode 26 electrically connected to the TFT 25 are formed.
- TFT 25 and pixel electrode 26 are provided in each of a plurality of pixel regions arranged in a matrix.
- an auxiliary capacity wiring 23 'for forming an auxiliary capacity is further formed.
- a photo-alignment film 22a having vertical alignment is formed on the surface of the active matrix substrate 20a shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4 (a), the pretilt angle and the pretilt direction are controlled by irradiating the photo-alignment film 22a with ultraviolet light polarized from a direction inclined with respect to the normal direction of the substrate surface.
- the “pretilt angle” is an angle formed between the major axis of liquid crystal molecules whose alignment is regulated by the alignment regulating force on the alignment film surface and the substrate surface.
- the “pretilt direction” is an azimuth angle direction taken by the major axis of the liquid crystal molecules whose alignment is regulated by the alignment regulating force on the alignment film surface.
- the pretilt direction of the liquid crystal molecules is defined by the alignment regulating force of the alignment film, in this specification, the direction of the alignment regulating force of the alignment film is also expressed using the term “pretilt direction”. As shown in the lower left pixel in FIG. 3, the pretilt direction (solid arrow in the figure) of the photo-alignment film 22a is different in each of the four areas in the pixel area.
- a photo-alignment film 22b having vertical orientation is also formed on the surface of the color filter substrate 20b facing the active matrix substrate 20a, and the photo-alignment film 22b is inclined with respect to the normal direction of the substrate surface.
- the pretilt angle and the pretilt direction are controlled by irradiating strong ultraviolet light.
- the pretilt direction (dotted arrow in the figure) of the photo-alignment film 22b is different in each of the four areas in the pixel area, and as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 (b), It is set to be opposite to the pretilt direction of the photo-alignment film 22a on the active matrix substrate 20a side.
- the liquid crystal molecules 21a included in the liquid crystal layer 21 have negative dielectric anisotropy, and when a voltage is applied, the liquid crystal molecules 21a having negative dielectric anisotropy are Inclined from a nearly vertical state. Since the pretilt directions of the photo-alignment films 22a and 22b are set as described above, the liquid crystal layer 21 forms four liquid crystal domains having different alignment directions of the liquid crystal molecules 21a when a voltage is applied. That is, each pixel region is divided into four regions with different directions in which the liquid crystal molecules incline (four-divided alignment). Therefore, the viewing angle dependency of the display is reduced, and the viewing angle characteristics are improved.
- FIG. 5 schematically shows an active matrix substrate 20a of an IPS mode liquid crystal panel.
- a plurality of scanning wirings 23 extending substantially parallel to each other, a plurality of signal wirings 24 extending in a direction intersecting the scanning wirings 23, and the corresponding scanning wirings 23 and signal wirings 24 are electrically connected.
- the TFT 25 thus formed and the pixel electrode 26 electrically connected to the TFT 25 are formed.
- the pixel electrode 26 is formed in a comb shape extending substantially parallel to the signal wiring 24.
- a common electrode 27 formed in a comb shape substantially parallel to the pixel electrode 26 is further provided on the active matrix substrate 20a.
- the common electrode 27 is extended from a common wiring 28 formed substantially parallel to the scanning line 23.
- the common wiring 28 is opposed to the auxiliary capacitance electrode 29 formed of the same conductive layer as the pixel electrode 26 via an insulating film (not shown), and constitutes an auxiliary capacitance.
- a photo-alignment film 22a having horizontal alignment is formed on the surface of the active matrix substrate 20a shown in FIG. 5, a photo-alignment film 22a having horizontal alignment is formed.
- the optical alignment film 22a in the IPS mode is irradiated with polarized ultraviolet light from the normal direction of the substrate surface so that almost no pretilt occurs.
- the alignment regulating direction of the photo-alignment film 22a is determined by the polarization direction of the ultraviolet light to be irradiated.
- a photo-alignment film 22b having a vertical orientation is also formed on the surface of the color filter substrate 20b facing the active matrix substrate 20a.
- the photo-alignment film 22b is irradiated with polarized ultraviolet light from the normal direction of the substrate surface. By doing so, the orientation regulation direction is controlled.
- the liquid crystal molecules contained in the liquid crystal layer 21 have positive dielectric anisotropy, and are generated between the pixel electrode 26 and the common electrode 27 when a voltage is applied.
- the orientation direction is changed by a horizontal electric field (an electric field parallel to the layer surface of the liquid crystal layer).
- IPS mode In this liquid crystal display device, the alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecules changes in a plane parallel to the liquid crystal layer 21, so that a good viewing angle characteristic is realized.
- the IPS mode has a problem that a coloring phenomenon occurs when observed from an oblique direction (a direction inclined from the normal direction of the substrate surface). Specifically, when observing from the long axis direction of the liquid crystal molecules, the light turns blue, and when observing from the short axis direction of the liquid crystal molecules, the light turns yellow. In other words, the blueness or yellowness of light passing through the liquid crystal layer obliquely (in a direction inclined from the normal direction of the layer) is generated. This is because the retardation of the liquid crystal molecules has wavelength dispersion (wavelength dependence).
- the active matrix substrate 20a shown in FIG. 6 includes a signal wiring 24 that is bent a plurality of times (zigzag shape), and a pixel electrode 26 and a shape that is bent so as to be substantially parallel to the signal wiring 24 (character shape). And common electrode 27!
- each pixel region has two regions with different alignment directions of liquid crystal molecules when a voltage is applied. Made. For this reason, when viewed from a certain oblique direction, each region shifts the wavelength region of light to a color having a complementary color relationship, so that the coloring phenomenon is suppressed.
- the inventor of the present application actually manufactured a prototype of a liquid crystal display device including a liquid crystal panel having a photo-alignment film and an illumination device including a light source that primarily generates light used for display. Reliability was evaluated.

- the change in the alignment direction and the decrease in the voltage holding ratio in the liquid crystal display device of Comparative Example 1 are caused by the ultraviolet light emitted from the cold cathode tube of the illumination device # 5.
- the emission spectrum of the cold cathode tube shows peaks at 313 nm (j line) and 365 nm (i line). These peaks are emission lines peculiar to mercury emission and exist in principle in the emission spectrum of a cold cathode tube. These bright lines cause deterioration of the photo-alignment film and reduce the reliability.
- the main photosensitive wavelength of a general photo-alignment film exists in the vicinity of about 250 to 320 nm, in particular, the light near the peak at 313 nm greatly affects the deterioration of the photo-alignment film.
- the blue LEDs # 1 to # 4 primarily generate blue light, the emission spectra of the blue LEDs # 1 to # 4 are at least as shown in FIGS. There is no peak around 313 nm. Therefore, the light emitted from the blue LEDs # 1 to # 4 hardly reacts with the photoreactive functional group of the photo-alignment film.
- the reliability of the liquid crystal display device including the photo-alignment film can be obtained by using the illumination device including the light source that primarily generates at least blue light among the light used for display. It was confirmed that the property was improved.
- the petal preferably has a peak wavelength of 380 nm or more (that is, in the visible region) like the blue LEDs # 2 to # 4 in Prototype Examples 2 to 4. Further, it is further preferable that light in the ultraviolet region is not substantially generated as in the case of blue LED # 4, in which the peak wavelength is more preferably 400 nm or more as in blue LEDs # 3 and # 4.
- the main sensitivity wavelength of the photo-alignment film is a force included in the above range and is sensitive to the force in other wavelength ranges, and during the usage time of the liquid crystal television (for example, 40,000 hours) It is integrated and the influence appears.
- the sensitivity wavelength of the photo-alignment film using the photoisomerization reaction of azobenzene may be exceptionally near 365 nm.
- it is particularly a blue LED. It is further preferable that substantially no light in the ultraviolet region is generated like the blue LED # 4 that # 3 and # 4 are preferred.
- the active matrix substrate 20a for the IPS mode and the color filter substrate 20b shown in FIG. 5 were prepared by a known method.
- An alignment film material is formed on the surfaces of the active matrix substrate 20a and the color filter substrate 20b by applying an alignment film material having a horizontal alignment property (which hardly generates pretilt) to the alignment surface of the substrate surface normal direction. Irradiated with polarized ultraviolet light.
- the active matrix substrate thus prepared and the color filter substrate were bonded together, and a liquid crystal material was injected into the gap between them to prepare a liquid crystal panel.
- a plurality of the above-mentioned liquid crystal panels were prepared, and lighting devices # 1 to # 4 having red LEDs, green LEDs, and blue LEDs were provided on the back side of these liquid crystal panels to produce a liquid crystal display device (prototype production). Examples 5-8).

- the five curves shown in Fig. 15 show the pretilt angles of 0.1 °, 0.6 °, 1.1 °, 1.6 ° and 2.1 ° in this order from the top.
- the present invention is highly effective in improving reliability even in the IPS mode.
- a horizontal electric field is generated using a comb-like electrode, and thereby a horizontal electric field is not generated on the force electrode, so that the portion where the electrode is formed does not contribute to display. Therefore, the effective aperture ratio is typically lower than that of the TN mode or VA mode, and is typically about half that of the TN mode or VA mode. Therefore, in order to obtain the same brightness as the TN mode or VA mode, the brightness of the light source needs to be approximately doubled.
- a lighting device including a cold cathode tube is used as in the conventional case, The alignment film is likely to deteriorate. Therefore, the effect of improving the reliability according to the present invention is high.

- an active matrix type liquid crystal display device in which each pixel is provided with a switching element (for example, TFT), it is necessary to hold the charge charged in the pixel capacitor for one frame. When it deteriorates, the voltage holding ratio decreases and the display quality deteriorates. According to the present invention, such a decrease in voltage holding ratio can be suppressed, so that active matrix driving can be suitably performed.
- ultraviolet light is also included in the light incident on the liquid crystal panel 20 from the outside, and light in the ultraviolet region may be slightly included in the light emitted from the blue LED. Therefore, ultraviolet In order to more reliably suppress deterioration of the photo-alignment film due to light, a member that absorbs ultraviolet light may be provided on the illumination device side or the viewer side of the photo-alignment film, or the illumination device side of the photo-alignment film or A member positioned on the viewer side may be formed from a material that absorbs ultraviolet light.
- a polarizing plate with a TAC (triacetyl cellulose) film containing an ultraviolet absorber was used, and nevertheless, in the comparative example, a photo-alignment film was used.
