Description

本发明涉及液晶显示器制造技术领域, 尤;
:装置及它们的制备方法。
薄膜晶体管型液晶显示器 (Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display , TFT-LCD) 已成为显示领域的主流产品, 而液晶面板是 TFTiCD的一个重要 组成部分。
液晶面板是由阵列基板和彩膜基板通过封框胶进行密封、 对盒形成的, 对盒封框的工艺的好坏将影响液晶面板的品质, 因此, 阵列基板与彩膜基板 的真空对盒封框的工艺十分重要。 液晶面板对盒工艺的具体步骤通常为: 首 先, 在阵列基板和彩膜基板中一张基板的四周使 ^封框胶涂布装置涂覆封框 胶; 然后,在另一张基板中央使用滴下注入法 (ODF, One Drop Fiii)滴加液晶; 之后, 真空贴合两张基板; 最后, 进行封框胶固化: 用紫外光 (UV, Ultraviolet Rays) 短时间照射使封框胶部分固化, 放入到 UV 固化室中进一步固化封框 胶中的光敏成分, 最后在高温炉中将未固化的封框胶完全固化, 从而完成对 -I-乙
图 I为现有技术中液晶面板的截面示意图 (图 1为简化示意图, 与本发 明申请无关的结构未示出)。 主要由彩膜基板 10、 阵列基板 20以及两基板之 间的液晶 30三部分组成, 彩膜基板 10至少包括设置于衬底基板 1之上的平 坦层 3和设置于平坦层 3之上的取向膜 4; 阵列基板 20至少包括设置于衬底 基板 2之上的绝缘层 5和取向膜 6。 彩膜基板 10和阵列基板 20由封框胶 7 粘接、 密封后形成液晶盒, 取向膜 4和取向膜 6紧邻液晶 30。
液晶面板的显示区域之外具有一环形的边框。 而窄边框 (Narrow Bezel) 是目前液晶显示面板的发展趋势。 窄边框液晶显示面板可以使产品具有更小 的体积和重量。 特别是小尺寸的平板电脑和手机 ^的液晶显示面板, 对窄边 现有技术中, 通常封框胶涂覆区域与设计的取向膜印刷区域保持一定的 安全距离 D, 以避免封框胶因取向膜直接接蝕损失粘附力; 同时因封框胶涂 覆的对位精度、 胶宽精度以及取向膜印刷精度的考虑, 设计的封框胶涂覆区 域到取向膜印刷区域的安全距离 D需要考虑增加上述各精度的误差值。另外, 为了防止取向膜边缘在制作日寸有不良的区域, 所以, 取向膜通常分显示区域 和在其周边区域的非显示区域。 综合考虑以上因素, 在现有的技术中, 封框 胶内侧距离取向膜的显示区域边缘至少需要大约 1.2mm。 在进行液晶显示装 置的周边设计的时候, 由于该距离的存在, 窄边框设计很难付诸实践, 因此, 优化周边封框胶与取向膜的设计是当务之急。
本发明的目的是提供一种液晶显示基板、 显示装置及它们的制备方法, 其中在液晶显示基板上设置封框胶阻挡机构, 在封框胶阻挡机构上设置封框 胶, 可以使封框胶的位置及宽度得到限制, 实现封框胶设置于取向膜的边缘 区域, 解决现有液晶盒工艺中封框胶与取向膜边缘之间的距离过大, 从而造 成显示面板的边框宽度无法减小的问题。

第一实施例
图 2为本发明第一实施例所述液晶显示基板在设置了封框胶阻挡部件之 后的剖面示意图; 图 3为本发明第一实施例所述液晶显示基板的俯视示意图。
参照图 2和图 3, 本发明实施例提供一种液晶显示基板, 包括衬底基板 11及形成于衬底基板 11上的薄膜层 12。为了防止取向膜 14边缘在制作时有 不良的区域, 所以, 取向膜 14分为如图 3所示的内侧虚线框内的显示区域 141、 和内侧虚线框和外侧虚线框之间的非显示区域 142。 在薄膜层 12上形 成有封框胶阻挡部件 13, 封框胶阻挡部件 13设置于预定的取向膜 14形成区 域内的边缘区域上, 特别优选设置在非显示区域 142内。
封框胶阻挡部件 13与薄膜层 12之间形成一腔体 131, 封框胶阻挡部件 13的顶部设置有与腔体 131连通的开口 132。 其中需要说明的是, 衬底基板 11可以选用玻璃、 石英、 树脂等透明材质, 本发明不做限制。
在设置了上述结构的封框胶阻挡部件 13之后, 在形成取向层 14时, 由 于取向层 14的厚度非常薄 (通常为百分之几 μπι, 比如: 大约 0 08μηι), 所 以预定的取向膜 14形成区域内形成取向膜 14时, 仅会有非常少量的取向膜 14材料迸入上述腔体 131 内, 所以不会太大地影响该腔体 131内侧表面及底 面与其后设置的封框胶之间的结合强度。 相反, 由于设置了上述封框胶阻挡 部件! 3, 确保了封框胶的结合面积, 从而有利地增加了封框胶的结合强度, 进而有利地增加了相应液晶显示基板的强度。
可选的, 液晶显示基板为彩膜基板, 薄膜层!2为平坦层, 平坦层的材料 可以为本领域常用的作为平坦层的树脂材料。
可选的, 液晶显示基板为阵列基板, 薄膜层!2为绝缘层, 绝缘层的材料 可以为氮化硅。
优选的, 封框胶阻挡部件 13的材料与薄膜层 12的材料相同, 这样有利 于封框胶阻挡部件 13与薄膜层 12之间的结合强度, 从而提高液晶显示基板 的强度。
可选的, 开口 132的宽度小于封框胶阻挡部件 13的宽度, 并且开口 132 的宽度大于或等于封框胶阻挡部件 13的宽度的一半。 参见图 4, 为封框胶阻 挡部件 13的剖视图, 其腔体 131为矩形, 其中开口 132的宽度为 a, 封框胶 阻挡部件 13的宽度为 b, a大于或等于 b/2。 当然, 为了实现阻止形成取向膜 时的取向膜材料进入腔体 131 , a应当小于1>。
优选地, 所述开口 132的宽度小于所述腔体 131底面的宽度, 并且所述 开口 132的宽度大于或等于所述腔体 131的底面宽度的一半。
上述开口 132的大小是非常优选的,可以一方面防止在设置取向膜 14时, 取向膜的材料过多地进入腔体 131内从而影响封框胶与封框胶阻挡部件 13之 间的结合强度; 另一方面, 可以使封框胶进入该开口 132 , 从而达到高强度 结合液晶显示基板的目的。
可选的,腔体 131的垂直于衬底基板 11的截面为矩形、梯形、倒三角形、 倒梯形、 两侧为阶梯状的多边形、 圆弧形或其他多边形等等图形。 但是基于 制备工艺更简单的考虑, 优选的, 腔体 131的垂直于衬底基板 11的截面为矩 形、 梯形、 或两侧为阶梯状的多边形。 参考图 5和图 6示出的封框胶阻挡部 件 13的垂直于衬底基板 11的截面示意图。 图 5中, 腔体 131的垂直于衬底 基板 I I 的截面为梯形, 图 6中腔体 131的垂直于衬底基板 11的截面为两侧 为阶梯状的多边形。 同样基于制备工艺更筒单的考虑, 优选的, 腔体 131 的平行于衬底基板 11的截面的宽度大于开口 132的宽度。
优选的, 封框胶阻挡部件 13的高度大于或等于 l m。该高度可以更有效 地起到限制封框胶的作用。 该高度在保证小于液晶显示基板成盒后的周边盒 厚的前提下, 应该尽量的大。
优选地, 所述封框胶阻挡部件 13 的宽度大于或等于约 lmm, 优选为约 Imm-2mm, 该宽度为约 1mm是优选的。 该具体宽度本领域技术人员可以根 据需要进行选择, 太宽不利于液晶的窄边化, 太窄又不能保证液晶基板的粘 合强度。
优选的, 封框胶阻挡部件 13与显示区域相近的一侧, 距离显示区域 141 的边缘的距离大于或等于约 0.2mm, 优选为约 0,2mm- 0.5mm。 该具体距离本 领域技术人员可以根据需要进行选择, 太宽不利于液晶的窄边化, 太窄又不 能保证液晶基板的粘合强度。
本发明实施例有益效果如下: 提供的液晶显示基板, 在预定的取向膜形 成区域内的边缘区域上设置封框胶阻挡部件, 在形成取向膜时, 该封框胶阻 挡部件的开口使取向膜的材料只有一小部分被涂覆至腔体内, 确保灌注的封 框胶与腔体具有足够的接触面积以提供粘 Pf†力, 实现封框胶位置的精确控制 以减少与显示区域间的距离, 从而实现显示装置的窄边框制备。 第二实施例

为了方便说明, 本实施例中使 ^了与第一实施例中相似的附图标记, 代 表相同或相应的结构。
优选的, 所述两基板上的封框胶阻挡部件 I 3A的开口 I 32A和封框胶阻 挡部件 13B的开口 132B相对设置, 封框胶 7设置于封框胶阻挡部件 13A和 封框胶阻挡部件 13B之间、 腔体 131A和腔体 131B内, 及开口 132A和开口 132B处。 封框胶 7被容易地限制在封框胶阻挡部件 i3A、 13B的位置上。 特别优选地, 彩膜基板 210和阵列基板 220上的封框胶阻挡部件 13A和 13B的形状是对称的。从而在上述两基板对盒时,能够使封框胶阻挡部件 13A 和 13B相对设置。
优选的,两基板之间的距离大于两基板上的封框胶阻挡部件的高度之和, 使得有充分的封框胶 7进入封框胶阻挡部件的腔体内, 能够被稳定地设置在 两基板之间, 从而确保两基板之间的结合强度。
其中,对于彩膜基板 210,在其衬底基板 11 A之上依次设置有平坦层 12A 和取向膜 对于阵列基板 220, 在其衬底基板 11B之上依次设置有绝缘 层 12B和取向膜 14B。

此外, 需要说明的是, 本发明实施例提供的显示装置可以为: 液晶面板、 手机、 平板电脑、 电视机、 显示器、 笔记本电脑、 数码相框、 导航仪等任何 具有显示功能的产品或部件。
本发明实施例提供的显示装置所采用的液晶显示基板, 在预定的取向膜 形成区域的边缘区域上设置封框胶阻挡部件, 在形成取向膜时, 该封框胶阻 挡部件的开口使取向膜只能涂覆至腔体内的一小部分, 确保灌注的封框胶与 腔体具有足够的接触面积以提供粘附力, 实现封框胶位置的精确控制以减少 与显示区域间的距离, 从而实现显示装置的窄边框制备。 第一制备例

在阵列基板 220的预定的取向膜形成区域设置取向膜 14B , 通过摩擦工 艺进行取向膜的取向;
以上形成取向膜的方法, 可以是本领域常用的方法, 这里不再进行详细 描述。
步骤 S7 , 对步骤 S6步骤得到的彩膜基板 210和阵列基板 220进行封框 胶 7的涂覆过程, 使得封框胶涂覆的中心与封框胶阻挡部件的开口 132A和 132B的中心对齐。 优选的封框胶阻挡部件的开口 132A和开口 132B的宽度 大于涂覆封框胶的设计宽度, 从而可以使封框胶经上述开口进入腔体; 进而 优选地封框胶体积大于腔体 131A和 131B的总体积, 从而可以确保封框胶填 满两基板之间的封框胶阻挡部件的腔体 131A和 131B后有部分封框胶露出在 腔体外 131A和 131B , 并且进一歩确保两基板之间的结合强度。
由于封框胶阻挡部件 I 3A和 13B的设置, 所以设置于其上的取向膜仅可 能有少部分进入腔体 131A和 I 31B内, 不会影响歩骤 S7步骤封框胶涂覆于 腔体 131 A和 13 IB内。
封框胶涂覆工艺可以选择在两基板 (彩膜基板 210和阵列基板 220 ) 上 同时涂覆的方式, 也可以采用仅在其中一个基板上涂覆。为了确保粘合强度, 优选在两基板上同时涂覆封框胶。
优选的, 两基板对盒前封框胶的高度已经大于封框胶阻挡部件高度, 这 样保证两基板上的封框胶可以粘结在一起。 步骤 S8, 对步骤 S7得到的涂覆了封框胶的彩膜基板 210和 /或阵列基板 220, 在封框胶阻挡部件相对的状态下, 真空对盒。 并使得它们之间设置有液 晶 30, 对封框胶固化后, 形成显示装置 (如图 7所示)。
在本步骤 S8的描述中,省略了与本发明专利申请没有关系的其他制备显 示装置的步骤, 这些步骤在实际生产中也是必要的, 本领域技术人员可以根 据需要增加相关本领域常用的步骤, 在此不再详细描述。
本发明实施例有益效果如下: 在预定的取向膜形成区域的边缘区域上设 置封框胶阻挡部件, 并使封框胶阻挡部件具有开口和与开口连通的腔体, 在 形成取向膜时, 该封框胶阻挡部件的开口使取向膜只能涂覆至腔体内的一小 部分, 确保灌注的封框胶与腔体具有足够的接触面积以提供粘附力, 实现封 框胶位置的精确控制以减少与显示区域间的距离, 进而应用于显示装置实现 窄边框制备。
显然, 本领域的技术人员可以对本发明进行各种改动和变型而不脱离本 发明的精神和范围。 这样, 倘若本发明的这些修改和变型属于本发明权利要 求及其等同技术的范围之内, 则本发明也意图包含这些改动和变型在内。
