Abstract
Description
滴下工法では、まず、2枚の電極付き基板の一方に、ディスペンスにより長方形状のシールパターンを形成する。次いで、シール剤が未硬化の状態で液晶の微小滴を基板のシール枠内に滴下し、真空下で他方の基板を重ね合わせ、シール部に紫外線等の光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。現在この滴下工法が液晶表示素子の製造方法の主流となっている。
特に近年、パネルの狭額縁化につれ、ディスペンスするシール剤の幅も細くなり、貼り合わせた後のシール剤部の断面積が小さくなっている。そのため、シールパターンの破れ等が発生しやすくなっている。
以下に本発明を詳述する。
本発明の液晶表示素子用シール剤における、液晶によるシール剤への差し込みやシール剤による液晶汚染を抑制する効果は、シール剤を熱のみによって硬化させる場合に特に顕著となる。
また、熱ラジカル重合開始剤と、熱硬化剤として25℃で粒子状のアミンアダクト系硬化剤とを組み合わせて用いる本発明の液晶表示素子用シール剤は、低温かつ短時間で加熱しても充分に硬化させることができる。
