Description

光照组件及紫外线液晶照射机 技术领域
本发明涉及液晶显示器制造领域,尤其涉及紫外光配向工艺。
背景技术
紫外光配向工艺是LCD显示器对盒制程中的一项技术,通过对基板照射紫外光的方式使液晶中反应型单体发生反应,从而让液晶形成预倾角。预倾角大小和曝光时间是呈正比关系,时间越长,预倾角越大,在生产过程中,为了保障LCD显示器观看效果的一致性,需要基板各位置的预倾角均保持一致,因此对于基板的光照时间需要严格控制。
紫外配向工艺需要用紫外线液晶照射机发出紫外光,目前常用的有金属卤素灯、汞灯及荧光灯等。实际生产中,这些灯采用并排间隔设置的灯管形状对基板进行照射,每张基板接受照射的时间需要根据灯管的亮度进行严格控制,通常为90~100秒左右。而灯管在刚打开的瞬间亮度较高,需要10分钟以上的安定时间才能实现稳定光线的输出,而亮度的变化不利于照射时间的控制,因此在紫外配向工艺中,用于照射的灯管被设置为常开模式,用遮光板来控制光线的照射时间,以避开反复开关所需的多次安定时间,提高生产效率。
现有的遮光板结构,采用两侧平板相向设置,通过相向的平移运动或者反向远离的平移运动来实现光线的打开或关闭动作。在打开遮光板开始曝光时,两个相对设置的平板往两侧相互远离平移,基板中心点先首先受到紫外光的照射,两侧边缘最后接收到紫外光;而曝光结束后,两侧遮光板往中间闭合,基板两侧边缘先被隔离紫外光,中心点最后才被隔离紫外光。现有G8.5代生产线的遮光板移动的时间约5s,结合打开和关闭两次动作,中心点比两侧边缘要多约10s的照射时间,这导致两侧边缘和中心点的预倾角存在不一致的现象,从而影响液晶显示器的光学表现,降低产品良品率。当生产线为更高世代,如G10.5代生产线时,由于基板尺寸更大,遮光板从机台中间移动到两侧的时间更长,基板各位置预倾角差异会进一步放大,良率更低。
发明内容
本发明的目的在于提供一种结构简单、在开启和关闭过程中遮光更均匀的光照组件设计,提供如下技术方案:
一种光照组件,用于在紫外线照射机中控制对基板的照射时间,包括灯管、遮光板和驱动装置,所述灯管用于照射所述基板,所述遮光板连接至所述驱动装置,以使所述驱动装置带动所述遮光板在第一位置和第二位置之间翻转;所述遮光板位于所述第一位置时,所述遮光板遮挡在所述灯管和所述基板之间,以阻挡所述灯管的光线照射至所述基板,所述遮光板位于所述第二位置时,所述灯管的光线照射至所述基板。
其中,多个所述遮光板并排设置,每一个所述遮光板均设有一独立翻转轴心。
其中,所述遮光板数量与所述灯管的数量相同,每一个所述遮光板围绕一个所述灯管翻转。
其中,所述光照组件还包括灯架,所述灯管并排固定于所述灯架上,所述遮光板翻转时所述灯管保持固定。
其中,所述遮光板为圆弧形,所述遮光板每次翻转180度,所述灯管收容于所述遮光板翻转时形成的圆形轨迹内部。
其中,所述遮光板为平板,所述遮光板每次翻转的最小角度为90度。
其中,所述灯管与所述遮光板固连,所述遮光板每次翻转180度。
其中,两个相邻的所述遮光板之间设有密封条,用于密封所述遮光板之间的间隙。
其中,至少两个所述遮光板在翻转时同步翻转,速度一致。
本发明还涉及一种紫外线液晶照射机,用于基板的紫外光配向工序,采用了上述的光照组件。
本发明光照组件,针对现有结构中相对设置的遮光板平移所产生的照射时间不均匀问题,作了相应改进。利用在所述灯管和所述基板之间的所述遮光板,在所述基板向所述灯管的延伸方向上翻转,从而实现所述灯管对所述基板照射的开启和关闭动作。因为所述遮光板每次翻转的旋向一致,在所述遮光板在开 启照射时最先漏出所述灯管的光线区域,也为所述遮光板在关闭时最先遮住的所述灯管的光线区域,对于所述灯管对所述基板的照射时间控制更均匀,有利于所述基板的各位置液晶预设角趋于一致。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明的一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其它实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
请参阅图1、图2和图3的光照组件100,用于在紫外线照射机中控制对基板300的照射时间,包括灯管200、遮光板10和驱动装置20,所述灯管200用于照射所述基板300,所述遮光板10连接至所述驱动装置20,以使所述驱动装置20带动所述遮光板10在第一位置和第二位置之间翻转,所述遮光板10位于所述第一位置时,所述遮光板10遮挡在所述灯管200和所述基板300之间,以阻挡所述灯管200的光线照射至所述基板300,即此时所述光照组件100处于关闭状态;所述遮光板10位于所述第二位置时,所述灯管200的光线照射至所述基板300,即所述光照组件100处于开启状态。
一种实施例,在紫外线照射机中处于关闭状态时,所述遮光板10处于所述灯管200和所述基板300之间,所述遮光板10为长条状,所述遮光板10的长度方向平行于所述灯管200的长度方向,即所述遮光板10沿垂直于所述灯管200的长度方向的依次排列,相邻两个所述遮光板10之间紧密配合,完全遮挡所述灯管200向所述基板300投射的光线。所述遮光板10至少一端连接有驱动装置20,每一个所述遮光板10均设有一独立轴线11,所述驱动装置20用于控制每一个所述遮光板10在所述照射机中,以所述轴线11为轴沿同一旋转方向翻转。即所述驱动装置20可以控制所述遮光板10以所述轴线11为轴,以顺时针方向转动,或者以逆时针方向转动。而这个转动动作,就是所述光照组件100对所述灯管200的开启和关闭切换的动作。
所述灯管200固定于灯架30上,当每一个所述遮光板10在所述关闭状态下完成一次翻转动作后,所述遮光板10即处于所述基板300向所述灯管200的延伸方向上,即所述遮光板10处于所述灯管200的背后,不再遮挡所述灯管200所发出的紫外光,此时所述灯管200切换至所述开启状态,所述基板300接受到紫外光照射,开始进行液晶配向。
相比于两侧遮光平板相对水平移动打开的方式,本发明用所述遮光板10沿同一旋转方向翻转的动作来实现所述灯管200对所述基板300照射的开启和关闭,可以保证由所述遮光板10最先打开的所述灯管200的照射位置也是所述灯管200最先关闭的位置。在所述驱动装置20控制所述遮光板10的翻转动作时,单个所述遮光板10在所述基板300上的投影区域,即所述基板300相对于所述遮光板10的受光区域301中每一个区域所受到的紫外光照射时间是相同的,由此实现整个所述灯管200照射的均匀度,保持液晶形成一致的预倾角。
另一方面,由于所述遮光板10需要完全遮挡所述灯管200的光线,需要横跨比较长的距离才能实现。此时所述驱动装置20只驱动所述导光板10的一端可能需要较大的翻转力矩输出,不利于所述导光板10的刚度控制。为避免所述导光板10的变形,可以在所述导光板10的两端同时驱动翻转,而此时所述驱动装置20适宜采用同步电机或同一驱动器来保证翻两端转动作的匹配。
对于并排设置的所述遮光板10,如果所述遮光板10的数量较多,在做出 翻转动作时,可以是同步翻转,且所述遮光板10的翻转速度一致,这样便于照射时间的控制。此时可以对每个所述遮光板10都安装上独立的所述驱动装置20,也可以只使用一个所述驱动装置,通过连杆机构、链轮机构、凸轮机构或者齿轮串联等机构运动方式来实现同步翻转。但要实现同步翻转的瞬时扭矩需求较大,不利于总体功率的控制。因此,也有一种对所述遮光板10依次翻转的实施方式,同样采用上述机构运动方式,只是添加差动单元即可,如并排设置的电机采用差动异步电机,或差动连杆机构、差动齿轮等实施方式。所述遮光板10不同步翻转时瞬时扭矩可以得到较好的控制,且控制好各个所述遮光板10的翻转速度一致,并在每一次的翻转动作中控制所述遮光板10沿同一并排方向依次翻转,同样可以较精确的控制所述灯管200对所述基板300的照射时间。
当所述遮光板10各自形状大小不同时,单个所述遮光板10所对应的所述受光区域301面积大小也产生差异。若每一个所述遮光板10的翻转时间相同,则在一次翻转用时内,所述受光区域301之间的实际接收光线面积不同,由此带来所述基板300内各区域的接收光线时间产生了差异。为消除此类影响,所述遮光板10可以设置为同样形状大小,则所述受光区域301的接收光线也相同。优选所述遮光板10为大小相等的长方形。
显然,当所述遮光板10的数量越多,单个所述遮光板10的翻转动作对所述灯管200整体光量的影响就越小。因而,可以安排每一根单独的灯管201都设置一个对应的所述遮光板10,以控制所述单根灯管201的开启和关闭动作。
一种实施例,见图4、图5,所述遮光板10与所述灯管200为固定连接,即至少一根所述单根灯管201固定在所述遮光板10上,所述遮光板10此时既起遮光作用,也起到对所述单根灯管201的支撑,即所述灯架30的作用。所述遮光板10在每次翻转过程中带动所述灯管200翻转180度,从而实现所述灯管200在所述打开状态和所述关闭状态之间的切换。每个所述遮光板10上可以设置1~50根所述单根灯管201。所述轴线11也可以设置在所述灯管200的中心或所述遮光板10的中心,有助于在翻转时消除不平衡力矩。
另一种实施例,见图6、图7,所述遮光板10为圆弧形,所述遮光板10 每次也翻转180度,而所述遮光板10绕所述轴线11翻转的圆形轨迹,应该收容所述灯管200才能实现所述灯管200的打开和关闭。在每一次翻转动作中,每一个所述遮光板10的轨迹优选收容1~50根所述单根灯管201。
图8和图9的实施例,所述遮光板10为平板,每次只翻转90度,与所述灯管200在同一水平线上呈间隔设置,此时所述遮光板10虽然在水平方向上阻挡了所述灯管200发出的光,但对于竖直向下照射的光线也没有遮挡,同样可以实现本发明的效果。
为了保证本发明遮光板10的运动精度,限定所述遮光板10每次翻转的角度不超过,最好是等于180度,在所述遮光板10上设定限位装置12,所述限位装置宜设置于所述遮光板10的端部,以免干涉所述遮光板10的翻转动作。同时所述限位装置12需要在所述驱动装置20的作用下实现限位后的解脱动作。即所述遮光板10在每次翻转180度时,所述驱动装置20先将限位装置12解脱,才能进行所述遮光板10下一次的翻转动作。所述限位装置12可以由设置在所述遮光板10端头上的限位面,和设置于所述紫外线照射机机身上与所述限位面配合的支撑面组成。其中所述限位面或所述支撑面中至少有一个带有弹簧伸缩装置,以便所述驱动装置20解脱限位。因所述限位装置12的实施方式较为简单且常见,此处不予单独制图说明。
在两个相邻的所述遮光板10之间,因为各自的转动动作,需要设置一点运动让位的间隙。间隙过大容易造成光线的泄漏,间隙过小则可能在所述遮光板10的转动过程中发生干涉。为此,可以在所述遮光板10的边缘处设置密封条13,所述密封条13为柔性不透光材料制成,用于对所述遮光板10之间的间隙进行密封挡光。
本发明还涉及所述紫外线液晶照射机的技术方案,所述紫外线液晶照射机采用上述的各种所述光照组件100中的一种,用于所述基板300的紫外光配向工序,可以实现所述基板300各个区域的受光时间均匀。
本发明光照组件,使用沿同一方向翻转的所述遮光板来代替现有技术中相对张开/闭合的遮光板结构,可以使所述基板在紫外线照射过程中各个区域的受光时间保持均匀。特别是将所述遮光板设置为多个并排的形状相同小板结 构,可以进一步避免所述遮光板的开闭而带来的受光时间不均影响。在通过几个实施例对所述遮光板的驱动方式、传动方式、与所述单根灯管的连接固定方式以及限位方式等均进行优化设计后,本发明光照组件具备了更高的可靠性和运动精度,可以进一步提高紫外光配向工序的加工效果。配备本光照组件的紫外线液晶照射机,也因为上述有益效果而具备了更高的良品率。
以上所述的实施方式,并不构成对该技术方案保护范围的限定。任何在上述实施方式的精神和原则之内所作的修改、等同替换和改进等,均应包含在该技术方案的保护范围之内。
