本发明涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种柔性液晶显示面板及其制造方法。
伴随着液晶显示技术飞跃发展,液晶显示器(Liquid Crystal Display,LCD)也将从直板式向柔性方向发展。
如图1所示为一现有柔性液晶显示器在平面状态下的结构示意图。其由彩膜(Color

Spacer,PS)150支撑,以维持液晶分子层130的厚度即盒厚(Cell Gap)及厚度均匀性,保证画面显示的稳定性。如图2所示,由于液晶面板所使用的液晶材料为液体,具有流动性,当液晶显示面板进行弯曲时,由于弯曲状态下的液晶显示面板各处受力不均,从而导致薄膜晶体管基板120与彩膜基板110之间柱状间隔物150的高度不同,使液晶分子层130内的液晶受到挤压而流动,导致液晶面板各处盒厚不均,从而使液晶显示器的组成部件偏光片受力弯折。

122、透明绝缘平坦层。
以下,结合具体实施方式对本发明的技术进行详细描述。
如图3所示,本发明实施例提供了一种柔性液晶显示面板,包括第一基板1、第二基板2和液晶层3,液晶层3位于第一基板1和第二基板2之间,其中第一基板1与第二基板2相对设置,基板包括栅结构层,线栅结构层10包括至少一线栅层12,线栅层12包括多个金属栅条121和透明绝缘平坦层122。
第一基板1与第二基板2包括线栅结构层10和依次贴附在所述线栅结构层10一侧的柔性衬底20、透明导电薄膜层30、配向膜聚酰亚胺层40;线栅结构层10包括一柔性基底11、叠层设置于柔性基底11一侧的至少一线栅层12;线栅层12包括多个平行排布的金属栅条121和设置于所述金属栅条121上及所述金属栅条121之间的透明绝缘平坦层122,所述金属栅条121在所述柔性基底11上的投影间隔设置,金属栅条之间的排布间隔为80~200nm。
本实施例中,第一基板1的金属栅条121与第二基板2的金属栅条121相互垂直;金属栅条121的厚度为50~300nm,宽度为20~300nm。金属栅条的横截面可以为矩形或其他各种常规形状。本发明第一基板1的金属栅条121与第二基板2的金属栅条121可用于高对比度偏振的应用,能够几乎全部反射与线栅结构层10平行振动的电场矢量分量的光,而使垂直于线栅结构层10的电场矢量分量的光线几乎全部透过。
本实施例中,第一基板1与第二基板2的线栅结构层10的排列方向需要依据具体的偏振需求决定,所述第一基板1的金属栅条121与所述第二基板2的金属栅条121的偏振方向优选互相垂直。
本实施例中,金属栅条121由铝、铬、金和镍中的一种制成。线栅结构层10提供下偏功能,同时偏振方向平行于所述金属线的偏振光被反射,并重新计入导光层中进行循环利用,提升背光利用效率。因此,相比于具有上偏振光片、下偏振光片的传统柔性液晶面板,本实施例中线栅结构层10仅设置单独的金属栅条121就能实现偏光功能,所述柔性液晶面板整体上的实现了更轻薄的结构。
本实施例中,柔性衬底20的材质包括聚乙烯、聚丙烯、聚苯乙烯、聚乳酸、聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯和聚酰亚胺中的一种或多种。通过采用柔性衬底20可以有效改善显示面板的柔韧性,相比于传统的硬质基板(如玻璃基板) ,可以防止碎屏风险问题。同时,本发明实施例中柔性衬底20除了上述的柔性基板4功能外,还具有导光功能,及可以认为是一个导光板,本发明的柔性衬底20具有良好的导光性并具有极高反射率且不吸光,具备传统导光板的性质,可以替代传统液晶显示面板的导光板。本实施例中,柔性衬底可为常规柔性材料,但不做具体限制。
本发明实施例提供的柔性液晶显示面板,通过采用具有良好导光功能的柔性衬底20,并增加金属线栅以实现偏光与增亮功能,大大缩小了柔性液晶显示面板的厚度,减少光线完全不同曲率半径下的过长的传播路径所引起的传播路径间的差异,有效改善了显示面板在弯曲过程中导致的亮色度偏差问题。

多层线栅结构层为简单重复多个单层线栅结构层,还需重复步骤S2~S3至少一次,从而形成至少两个线栅层;仅含单层线栅结构层无需重复步骤S2~S3。
本发明实施例中,步骤S5中在透明导电薄膜层30上制作配向膜聚酰亚胺层40的步骤包括:分别将芳香族四羧酸二酐和二胺单体蒸发形成单体蒸汽后混合,并将混合蒸汽沉积于所述透明导电薄膜层30上;然后将所述透明导电薄膜层30上沉积的二酐与二胺单体进行亚胺化处理,即得到配向膜聚酰亚胺层40。其中,所述芳香族四羧酸二酐和二胺单体蒸发过程中,所述芳香族四羧酸二酐单体的蒸发温度为150℃~180℃,所述二胺单体的蒸发温度为60℃~160℃。所述亚胺化处理可以在红外辐射烘箱内进行,处理过程采用在氮气的保护下以0.5~3℃/min的速率从室温加热至320~385℃后,保持1~3h;然后自然冷却至室温,得到配向膜聚酰亚胺层40。
