Description
本申请涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种液晶盒及其制造方法、光聚合性组合物。The present application relates to the field of display technology, in particular to a liquid crystal cell, a manufacturing method thereof, and a photopolymerizable composition.
在液晶中添加聚合物单体是新型液晶显示模式的重要技术,在一定条件下引发聚合物单体聚合可以使液晶显示器实现许多有趣的显示模式,例如聚合物分散液晶(PolymerDispersed Liquid Crystal,PDLC)、快速响应液晶体系以及聚合物稳定垂直配向体系(PolymerStablizedVitical Alignment,PSVA)等等,其中,聚合物稳定垂直配向体系是在液晶中加入聚合物单体和光引发剂,聚合物单体和光引发剂经紫外线照射后形成聚合物凸点(Polymer Bump),聚合物凸点用于固定液晶形成预倾角。The addition of polymer monomers to liquid crystals is an important technology for new liquid crystal display modes. Initiating polymerization of polymer monomers under certain conditions can enable liquid crystal displays to achieve many interesting display modes, such as Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC). , Fast response liquid crystal system and polymer stable vertical alignment system (PolymerStablizedViticalAlignment, PSVA), etc., where the polymer stable vertical alignment system is to add polymer monomers and photoinitiators to the liquid crystal, polymer monomers and photoinitiators After UV irradiation, polymer bumps are formed, which are used to fix the liquid crystal to form a pre-tilt angle.
在柔性显示领域,液晶聚合物挡墙(PolymerWall Liquid Crystal,PWLC)技术通过对液晶和聚合物单体的化学结构和组成比例进行调整,使得聚合物单体经过准直性紫外光曝光后可以在组成液晶显示器的两个基板中间形成合适宽度的聚合物挡墙,聚合物挡墙的位置与紫外光照射到的区域相关,而紫外光照射的区域又可以通过光罩的设计来进行控制。通过聚合物挡墙技术形成的聚合物在组成液晶显示器的两个基板之间能起到黏附作用,能够较好的起到维持液晶显示器的盒厚的作用。而且,通过适当的设计,形成的聚合物挡墙可以有效地控制液晶的流动的同时,也能消除由外力和重力引起的亮度显示不均匀的现象(Mura)。In the field of flexible displays, the liquid crystal polymer barrier (PolymerWall Liquid Crystal) (PWLC) technology adjusts the chemical structure and composition ratio of liquid crystal and polymer monomers so that the polymer monomers can be exposed to collimated ultraviolet light after exposure A polymer barrier wall of appropriate width is formed between the two substrates constituting the liquid crystal display. The position of the polymer barrier wall is related to the area irradiated by the ultraviolet light, and the area irradiated by the ultraviolet light can be controlled by the design of the photomask. The polymer formed by the polymer barrier technology can play an adhesion role between the two substrates constituting the liquid crystal display, and can better play a role in maintaining the cell thickness of the liquid crystal display. Moreover, through proper design, the formed polymer barrier can effectively control the flow of liquid crystal, and can also eliminate the phenomenon of uneven brightness display caused by external forces and gravity (Mura).
目前,聚合物稳定垂直配向体系和液晶聚合物挡墙技术主要是基于自由基聚合以形成聚合物,即通过紫光照射使得光引发剂产生自由基,形成的自由基引发聚合物单体发生自由基反应以形成聚合物,随着聚合物的链长增加,聚合物和液晶发生相分离,从而产生功能性的结构,同时采用自由基聚合以形成液晶聚合物挡墙和聚合物凸起时,聚合物挡墙和聚合物凸起的形成过程会相互干扰。At present, the polymer stable vertical alignment system and liquid crystal polymer barrier wall technology are mainly based on free radical polymerization to form a polymer, that is, the photoinitiator generates free radicals through violet light irradiation, and the formed free radicals initiate the free radicals of the polymer monomer. Reaction to form a polymer. As the chain length of the polymer increases, the polymer and the liquid crystal phase separate to produce a functional structure.
