Definitions
- the present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device using a nematic crystal composition having a negative dielectric anisotropy and having a photo-alignment film.
- active matrix liquid crystal display elements are on the market for mobile terminals, liquid crystal televisions, projectors, computers, and the like.
- TFT thin film transistor
- MIM metal insulator metal
- the liquid crystal compound or liquid crystal composition used in this method has a high voltage holding ratio. Is being viewed.
- an ECB Electro Mechanical Controlled Birefringence
- a new liquid crystal compound or liquid crystal composition is still proposed.
- a fringe field switching mode liquid crystal display device (Fringe Field Switching mode Liquid Display; FFS mode liquid crystal display device), which is a type of IPS mode liquid crystal display device with high quality and excellent visual characteristics.
- FFS mode liquid crystal display device is a type of IPS mode liquid crystal display device with high quality and excellent visual characteristics.
- the FFS mode is a method introduced to improve the low aperture ratio and transmittance of the IPS mode, and the liquid crystal composition used has a positive dielectric anisotropy because it is easy to reduce the voltage. Materials using p-type liquid crystal compositions are widely used.
- liquid crystal element manufacturers are actively developing such as adopting an array using IGZO.
- a method called a rubbing method is often used as a liquid crystal molecule alignment method.
- the surface of the alignment film is rubbed (rubbed) in a certain direction by rotating a roller wrapped with a cloth such as nylon while pressing it with a certain pressure on a thin film coated and baked with an alignment film material such as polyimide.
- an alignment film material such as polyimide.
- a photo-alignment film that imparts anisotropy to the alignment film using linearly polarized ultraviolet rays can be imparted in a non-contact manner, and therefore has been developed as a method for solving the problems of the rubbing method described above.
- the use of a photo-alignment film has also been sought for electric field type display elements (see Patent Document 3).
- any of the electrode structure, orientation direction, electric field direction, and required optical characteristics are taken. Is also very different.
- the FFS mode liquid crystal display element has a characteristic in the structure of the electrodes, there is no knowledge about problems that are difficult to predict the effects from the conventional techniques, such as image sticking and dropping marks.
- the IPS mode and the FFS mode are common in the large classification of the transverse electric field type, but the electrode structure, the orientation direction, and the electric field direction are different. Therefore, even if the liquid crystal composition used for VA is simply diverted, it is difficult to construct a high-performance liquid crystal display element as required today, and an optimized n-type using a photo-alignment film There is a need to provide liquid crystal compositions.
- Patent Document 3 discloses that a photo-alignment film is used so that the acute angle ⁇ formed between the major axis direction of the liquid crystal molecules and the direction in which the scanning signal line extends (x direction) becomes 75 to 85 degrees when no electric field is applied.
- an electric field so-called lateral electric field
- the major axis direction of the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer is aligned along the lines of electric force. Therefore, it can be understood that the invention of Patent Document 3 is an IPS mode using a p-type liquid crystal composition since the lines of electric force and the major axis direction of the liquid crystal molecules coincide.
- the IPS mode using a p-type liquid crystal composition as shown in Patent Document 3 has problems of low aperture ratio and transmittance. Further, when a p-type material as shown in Patent Document 3 is used, even if the reduction in light transmittance can be improved by coloring the alignment film, which is a problem of the document, the liquid crystal molecules close to the pixel electrode are There is a new problem of transmittance reduction that the transmittance deteriorates because the major axis of the liquid crystal molecules tilts along the electric field at the edge.
- the alignment film as a photo-alignment film, it is possible to reduce a decrease in the alignment with respect to liquid crystal molecules due to rubbing unevenness and to provide a liquid crystal display element having excellent transmittance characteristics.
- a thin film transistor and a transparent electrode layer are formed on the substrate, and an alignment film is formed thereon.
- a rubbing method which is a contact method
- random scratches are formed on the alignment film surface by rubbing.
- deeper scratches due to the steps due to the thin film transistor and the transparent electrode layer pattern and the diameter (tens of ⁇ m) of the fiber of the buffing cloth of the rubbing roller Easy to be formed along the step. Since the liquid crystal molecules cannot be aligned in a certain direction when the electric field is turned off at the portion where the scratch is formed, light leakage occurs in the liquid crystal panel during black display. As a result, it becomes difficult to obtain a contrast of a certain value or more.
- a one-pixel size is 0.23 mm in a calculation example in a 40-inch panel.
- a resolution mode called 8K which will be put to practical use later, in a calculation example in a 40-inch panel, the size of one pixel becomes as fine as 0.11 mm. That is, since the size of one pixel approaches the diameter of the buff cloth fiber of the rubbing roller, when the electric field is turned off in units of pixels or in units of intermittent pixel rows due to scratches formed when the alignment treatment is performed by the rubbing method. There are places where the liquid crystal molecules cannot be aligned in a certain direction, which may cause a significant decrease in contrast and a large number of display defects due to a large amount of light leakage during black display.
- the object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and to determine dielectric anisotropy ( ⁇ ), viscosity ( ⁇ ), nematic phase-isotropic liquid transition temperature (T NI ), and nematic phase stability at low temperatures.

- the polyimide film was washed with pure water and dried in order to remove the alignment film debris scraped by rubbing and the fiber pieces of the buff cloth.
- the alignment film As a photo-alignment film, it is possible to reduce a decrease in alignment with respect to liquid crystal molecules due to uneven rubbing and to provide a liquid crystal display element having excellent transmittance characteristics. Since the liquid crystal alignment was evaluated by various photo-alignment films, the evaluation method will be described below.
- a thin film transistor and a transparent electrode layer are formed on the first substrate, and an alignment film is formed thereon.

- random scratches are formed on the alignment film surface by rubbing.
- deeper scratches due to the steps due to the thin film transistor and the transparent electrode layer pattern and the diameter (tens of ⁇ m) of the fiber of the buffing cloth of the rubbing roller Easy to be formed along the step. Since the liquid crystal molecules cannot be aligned in a certain direction when the electric field is turned off at the portion where the scratch is formed, light leakage occurs in the liquid crystal panel during black display.

There are places where the liquid crystal molecules cannot be aligned in a certain direction, which may cause a significant decrease in contrast and a large number of display defects due to a large amount of light leakage during black display.

More specifically, the first substrate and the second substrate on which the alignment films are respectively formed, the liquid crystal alignment films face each other, and the direction in which the linearly polarized light is irradiated or rubbed is the antiparallel direction (180 °). And an ultraviolet curable sealant mixed with spacer resin beads (diameter 4 ⁇ m) is applied to the periphery of the surface of the first substrate on which the alignment film is formed, and then the alignment film of the first substrate is applied.
- liquid crystal compositions 1 to 9 An appropriate amount of the following liquid crystal compositions (liquid crystal compositions 1 to 9) was dropped onto the surface on which the film was formed using a dispenser. Next, in a vacuum apparatus, this was bonded to the surface of the second substrate on which the alignment film was formed, so that the liquid crystal was arranged with a uniform thickness in the gap between the two substrates. Then, the liquid crystal cell was produced by irradiating an ultraviolet-ray and hardening a sealing compound.

(樹脂膜の作製)
配向膜溶液をスピンコーターで第1の基板および第2の基板の上に塗布し、230℃で30分加熱して反応させポリイミドの絶縁膜を形成した。
バフ布を巻いたローラーを基板搬送方向とは反対方向に回転させ、基板上に形成された配向膜表面を一方向に擦ることにより、配向処理を行った。ローラーの回転数は600rpm,基板の搬送速度は5mm/秒,バフ布の基板表面に対する押し込み深さは0.3mmであった。その後、ラビングで削れた配向膜の屑やバフ布の繊維片を除去するためポリイミド膜を純水で洗浄して乾燥させた。
配向膜を光配向膜にすることにより、ラビングムラによる液晶分子に対する配向性の低下を軽減でき、かつ優れた透過率特性の液晶表示素子を提供することができる。各種の光配向膜による液晶配向性の評価を行ったので、その評価方法を以下に説明する。
上記液晶配向膜を備えたガラス基板を用いて、VAモードとFFSモードの液晶セルを、滴下法によりそれぞれ作製した。より具体的には、配向膜がそれぞれ形成された第1基板と第2基板を、それぞれの液晶配向膜が対向し、かつ直線偏光を照射した、またはラビングした方向がアンチパラレル方向(180°)となるように準備し、第1基板の配向膜を形成した面の周辺部に、スペーサー用樹脂ビーズ(直径4μm)を混合した紫外線硬化型シール剤を塗布したのち、当該第1基板の配向膜を形成した面上に、下記の液晶組成物(液晶組成物1~9)の適量を、ディスペンサーを用いて滴下した。次に、真空装置内で、これを第2基板の配向膜を形成した面と貼り合わせることで、液晶が2枚の基板のギャップ内に均一な厚みで配置されるようにした。その後、紫外線を照射してシール剤を硬化させることで、液晶セルを作製した。液晶セルには、透明点をちょうど超える温度に一旦加温し、室温まで冷却することで、液晶の配向状態を安定化させる処理を行った。このように作製した液晶セルを評価用素子とし、静的コントラストによる表示品位の評価を行った。
静的コントラスト(CRS)を次の方法で測定した。
白色光源、分光器、偏光子(入射側偏光板)、検光子(出射側偏光板)、検出器を備えた光学測定装置(RETS-100、大塚電子株式会社製)の、偏光子-検光子間に、測定対象である前記光学フィルムを配置した。ここで、偏光子と検光子との回転角が0度(偏光子と検光子の偏光方向が平行位置[パラレルニコル])である状態において、光学フィルムを回転させながら、検出器にて透過光の光量を検出し、検出した光量が最も大きくなる、光学フィルムの回転位置(偏光子の偏光方向と重合性液晶の分子長軸方向が平行)における、透過光の光量(オン時光量)をYonとした。また、偏光子と光学フィルムの位置を固定したまま、偏光子に対する検光子の回転角を90度(偏光子と検光子の偏光方向が直交位置[クロスニコル])としたときにおける、透過光の光量(オフ時光量)をYoffとした。コントラストCRSは、次式(式1)により求めた。
(式1)の静的コントラストCRSの数値が大きいほど、オフ時光量Yoffが小さいこと、すなわち、光ヌケが少ないため、優れた黒表示であることを示す。
