The problem that the drop marks when dropped causes the display quality to deteriorate is brought to the surface.
- the problem to be solved by the present invention is a liquid crystal composition having a positive ⁇ , a liquid crystal phase in a wide temperature range, low viscosity, good solubility at low temperature, specific resistance and voltage holding ratio.

Since the change in the retention rate due to heat and light is extremely small, the practicality of the product is high, and a liquid crystal display element such as an IPS type or an FFS type using this can achieve a high-speed response. In addition, since the performance can be stably exhibited in the liquid crystal display element manufacturing process, display defects due to the process can be suppressed and manufacturing can be performed with a high yield, which is very useful.

(ドライフィルムの準備)
柱状スペーサー形成用のドライフィルムとして、厚みが25μmのPETベースフィルム上に、ネガ型感光性樹脂からなる柱状スペーサー形成用組成物を、ウェット状態で厚み;20μmになるようダイコーターを用いて塗布し、乾燥後、温度;90℃の条件で2分間プリベークして4.5μmの厚みとした。その後、その上に、厚み25μmのPETカバーフィルムをラミネートし、柱状スペーサー形成用ドライフィルムとした。(積層基板の作成)
上記で得られたブラックマトリックス、RGB着色層、およびITO電極層が形成された基板(1)上に、カバーフィルムを予め剥離したパターンスペーサ形成用ドライフィルムを柱状スペーサー形成用組成物がITO電極層と向かい合うように積層して、柱状スペーサー形成用組成物層を、ローラ圧;5kg/cm2、ローラ表面温度;120℃、および速度;800mm/minの条件にて、連続的に転写した。この際、ベースフィルムは剥離せず、柱状スペーサー形成用組成物上に付いた状態で次の露光工程へと進めた。(露光処理工程)
上流側から下流側に搬送装置を備えた露光装置に、上記で得られた積層基板を導入し露光部まで搬送した。
また積層基板のパターンの露光位置は、積層基板の端面からの距離を自動検出して、この検出結果にしたがって積層基板からフォトマスクパターン位置が一定距離になるよう自動調整後、前記ブラックマトリックス形成時に同時形成したアライメントマークを用いて柱状スペーサー用フォトマスクとアライメントを行った後、露光を行った。光源としては、高圧水銀ランプを用いて、露光エリアを200mm×200mmとして、I線(波長;365nm)を用い、15mW/cm2の照度で20秒間露光し、300mJ/cm2の露光量とした。(現像処理・ポストベーク処理工程)
現像処理は、露光機の下流側に現像装置を設置し、この現像装置内で露光後の積層基板からベースフィルムを剥離しながら、400mm/minの一定速度で搬送しながら行った。このようにして、前記ブラックマトリックス、RGB着色層、およびITO電極層が形成された基板(1)のブラックマトリックスの格子パターン部の所定位置にパターンスペーサが形成されたカラーフィルタを得た。その後、ベーク炉にて220℃、30分のポストベーク処理を行って、柱状スペーサーを熱硬化した。 このようにして、前記スペーサーパターンを使用した、基板(1)上にブラックマトリックス、RGB着色層、ITO電極層、柱状スペーサーが形成されたフロントプレーンを得た。
(バックプレーンの作成)
(TFT電極層の形成)
透明基板として、液晶表示素子用のガラス板(日本電気硝子社製OA-10)を用い、特開2004-140381号公報に記載された方法にしたがって、透明基板上にTFT電極層を形成した。
すなわち、ガラス基板上にアモルファスSi層を100nm厚で形成した後、酸化Si層(SiOx)を真空成膜法により形成した。その後、上記酸化Si層上に、フォトリソグラフィ法およびエッチング法を用いてTFT層および画素電極を形成しバックプレーンとなるTFTアレイ付ガラス基板を得た。
(液晶表示素子の製造)
(配向膜形成)
上記のように作製されたフロントプレーン及びバックプレーンに液晶配向膜を形成した。両基板ともに純水にて洗浄後、ポリイミドを含む液晶配向剤を、液晶配向膜塗布用印刷機(フレキソ印刷機)を用いて塗布し、180℃のオーブン内で20分間乾燥し、フロントプレーンのITOを形成した面及びバックプレーンのTFT電極層を形成した面上に乾燥平均膜厚600Åの塗膜を形成した。この塗膜にレーヨン製の布を巻き付けたロールを有するラビング装置により、ロールの回転数400rpm、ステージの移動速度30mm/秒、毛足押し込み長さ0.4mmでラビング処理を行い、水洗を行った後、120℃のオーブン上で10分間乾燥した。 フロントプレーンのシール材塗布部分に、ディスペンサーを用いてシール材の閉ループを描くように塗布した。
シール材として、ビスフェノールA型メタクリル酸変性エポキシ樹脂を含む光熱併用硬化型樹脂組成物を使用し、シール材の中に前述で形成した柱状スペーサとほぼ同じサイズの球状スペーサを樹脂成分に対して0.5質量%混合した。シール材の塗布量は、液晶表示素子のシール幅(0.7mm)となるように調製した。 続いて、シール材閉ループ内の所定の位置に定積計量ポンプ式のディスペンサーを用いて、実施例2に示した液晶組成物を、1枚のフロントプレーンにつき、1回24.7pLずつを90回に分けて滴下した。(合計2230pL)
液晶滴下後のフロントプレーンとバックプレーンとを静電チャックに吸着させた。フロントプレーンとバックプレーンとが互いに向き合うように配置し、バックプレーンをゆっくり降下させてフロントプレーンとの距離が300μmとなる距離で静止させた。この状態で真空チャンバー内を100Paまで減圧した。あらかじめ形成しておいたアライメントマークを用いて、フロントプレーンとバックプレーンとの貼り合せ位置を調整した。アライメント完了後、フロントプレーンとバックプレーンとをさらに接近させ、シール材とTFT電極層とが接する高さに両基材を保持した。この状態で真空チャンバー内に不活性ガスを導入し、系内を大気圧までもどした。大気圧によりフロントプレーンとバックプレーンが圧迫され、柱状スペーサーの高さでセルギャップが形成された。続いてシール材塗布部分に紫外線を照射して(365nm、30kJ/m2)シール材を硬化させ、お互いの基板を固定した。この状態で液晶組成物入りの基板を加熱装置に搬送し、表面温度が120℃の状態で1時間保持し、加熱終了後に空冷することによってアクティブマトリックス駆動用液晶表示素子を得た。
