Abstract
Description
液晶表示セルは、2枚の電極付き透明基板を所定の間隔をおいて対向させ、その周囲をシール剤で封着してセルを形成し、その一部に設けられた液晶注入口からセル内に液晶を注入し、その液晶注入口をシール剤又は封口剤を用いて封止することにより作製される。
滴下工法では、まず、2枚の電極付き透明基板の一方に、枠状のシールパターンを形成する。次いで、シール剤未硬化の状態で液晶の微小滴を透明基板のシールパターン枠内全面に滴下塗布し、減圧下で他方の透明基板を重ねあわせ、シール部に紫外線を照射して仮硬化を行う。その後、加熱して本硬化を行い、液晶表示素子を作製する。
また、狭額縁設計で滴下工法を行うとシール剤の硬化が不充分となりやすく、未硬化のシール剤成分が液晶中に溶出して液晶汚染を発生させやすくなるという問題があった。特許文献2には、硬化後の100kHzにおける誘電率を3以上となるようにした液晶滴下工法用シール剤が開示されており、このようなシール剤によれば、液晶汚染の発生を防止することができるとされている。
以下に本発明を詳述する。
そこで本発明者は更に鋭意検討した結果、硬化前のシール剤における、25℃、1~100kHzの条件で測定した誘電率を特定の範囲とすることにより、液晶汚染性を極めて低くすることができることを見出し、本発明を完成させるに至った。
