The manufacture method of liquid crystal panel and manufacturing installation
Technical field
The present invention relates to the manufacture method of the liquid crystal panel of a kind of MVA (Multi-domain Vertical Alignment) mode, relate in particular to and a kind ofly will mix the liquid crystal that has by applying the orientation that voltage is orientated and the material that the ultraviolet ray reaction produces the photoreactivity material of polymerization is enclosed in advance between two pieces of glass substrates, to this liquid crystal panel irradiation ultraviolet radiation and polymerization ultraviolet ray reaction material, thereby alignment films is formed at the manufacture method and the manufacturing installation of the liquid crystal panel on the glass plate.
Background technology
Liquid crystal panel is that liquid crystal is enclosed in structure between two pieces of transmitance substrates (glass substrate), forms a plurality of active components (TFT) and liquid crystal drive electrode on a side glass substrate, and forms alignment films in the above.Glass substrate the opposing party forms color filter, alignment films and transparency electrode (ITO).Then, between the alignment films of two glass substrates, enclose liquid crystal, around sealing with sealant.
In the liquid crystal panel of this structure, alignment films is the alignment films that is used to control the liquid crystal aligning that liquid crystal is orientated to applying voltage between electrode.In the past, the control of alignment films was undertaken by friction, but was attempting new orientation control technology in recent years.
This technology is, liquid crystal with the orientation that utilizes voltage to apply and be orientated and the material that the ultraviolet ray reaction is produced the photoreactivity material (ultraviolet reaction material) of polymerization will have been mixed, enclose in advance and be provided with between the 1st glass substrate and the 2nd glass substrate of TFT element with respect to the 1st glass substrate, to this liquid crystal panel irradiation ultraviolet radiation and polymerization ultraviolet ray reaction material, the direction of the liquid crystal (being about 1 molecular layer on top layer) by fixedly being contacted with glass substrate, thus tilt angle (for example with reference to patent documentation 1) given to liquid crystal.
According to the method, owing to do not need having in order to give the thrust on the needed inclined-plane of tilt angle in the past, thereby the manufacturing process of liquid crystal panel can be simplified.Therefore, can delete the manufacturing cost or the manufacturing time of liquid crystal panel, and because the shadow of above-mentioned thrust eliminates, thereby aperture opening ratio is enhanced, and has the advantage of the province's electrification that concerns back side light.
In the manufacturing technology of the liquid crystal panel that carries out this new orientation control, about with respect to the material that has mixed liquid crystal and ultraviolet reaction material (below, the situation that is called the liquid crystal that contains ultraviolet reaction material is also arranged) disposal route of irradiation ultraviolet radiation, be suggested several motions.
In patent documentation 2 described " liquid crystal display cells device and manufacture method thereof ", ultraviolet ray irradiation, and the manufacture method of the liquid crystal indicator of the ultraviolet ray irradiation of the polymerization speed second condition bigger than the ultraviolet ray irradiation of first condition (with reference to paragraph [0012] etc.) of first condition carried out in a kind of combination successively of motion.
Specifically, radiation illumination is carried out the ultraviolet ray irradiation with integrated intensity under the second condition condition bigger than first condition.Like this, in the ultraviolet ray of first condition irradiation, because the polymerization that relaxes, thereby can suppress to be orientated unusual generation,, be orientated unusual liquid crystal layer and can obtain not or be suppressed even it is also no problem to promote polymerization speed afterwards.In addition, record in the ultraviolet ray of second condition irradiation, preferably increase near the ratio (with reference to paragraph [0037] etc.) of the short wavelength's composition the 310nm.
In patent documentation 3 described " liquid crystal display cells device and manufacture method thereof ", show such opinion: " in order not make the liquid crystal deterioration; irradiation uses wave filter to remove the ultraviolet ray in short wavelength zone of not enough 310nm for well as can be known ", " still;, then be difficult to obtain desired liquid crystal aligning if it is zero that intensity at wavelength 310nm is entirely.Therefore, wish that it is 0.02~0.05mW/cm in the intensity of 310nm that utilization contains wavelength 2About light source " (with reference to paragraph [0019] etc.).
In patent documentation 4 described " liquid crystal display cells device and manufacture method thereof ", short wavelength's ultraviolet ray obtains on the vertical orientated property of liquid crystal more favourable in the short time, but promote the rotten of liquid crystal molecule etc. easily, on the other hand, going bad of the very difficult promotion of long wavelength's ultraviolet ray liquid crystal molecule etc., but need the long period for the vertical orientated property that obtains liquid crystal in (with reference to paragraph [0031] etc.), proposed the scope of integrating intensity of the wavelength components (short wavelength's ultraviolet ray) of 300nm~350nm, and the scope of the integrating intensity of the wavelength components (long wavelength's ultraviolet ray) of 350nm~400nm.

Summary of the invention
As mentioned above, though finished several motions about relative disposal route of having mixed the material irradiation ultraviolet radiation of liquid crystal and ultraviolet reaction material, we carry out the result that various experiments are discussed, and also obtain following opinion.
That is, use as the liquid crystal panel of above-mentioned new orientation control in, the ultraviolet reaction material that produces polymerization with the ultraviolet ray reaction is mixed in liquid crystal, utilizes the ultraviolet ray irradiation to make this ultraviolet reaction material polymerization.But,, then produce the calcination of picture or the reduction of VHR (Voltage Holding Ratio), the reduction of contrast etc. and reduce reliability at liquid crystal panel if in liquid crystal, stay unpolymerized ultraviolet reaction material.Below, this situation is called the reduction of the reliability that the residue of ultraviolet reaction material causes.Therefore, the ultraviolet reaction material that is mixed in liquid crystal must have no all to be aggregated with remaining.
In order to promote the polymerization of ultraviolet reaction material, as long as the light of the irradiation wavelength that how ultraviolet reaction material reacted is just passable.Usually, the zone of reaction material below wavelength 360nm by the polymerization of ultraviolet institute has higher reaction sensitivity.On the other hand, as described in patent documentation 2,3,, then be also referred to as the rotten deterioration of liquid crystal damaged if the light that short wavelength's ultraviolet ray, especially wavelength 310nm is following effectively contacts.
Yet, say what kind of thing on the damage of this liquid crystal, rotten, deterioration are concrete, what kind of relevance itself and irradiated wavelength have in addition, and it is unclear, for in order to make the ultraviolet reaction material required light wavelength scope of polymerization without reservation, or short wavelength's light gives the specifics influence of liquid crystal, also do not do fully getting across.
Promptly, up to now, on liquid crystal, mix ultraviolet reaction material and be orientated with respect to its irradiation ultraviolet radiation in the manufacturing of liquid crystal panel of MVA mode of control, be directed to the light of which kind of wavelength coverage, shine and can not reduce the reliability of liquid crystal panel and just can carry out not clearly explanation of orientation process in the short time with which kind of ratio.
The present invention is according to being directed in order to make above-mentioned ultraviolet reaction material not remain the ground polymerization and needed light wavelength scope, or the concrete sex opinion that short wavelength's light gives liquid crystal is finished, the object of the present invention is to provide and a kind ofly mixed ultraviolet reaction material at liquid crystal and be orientated for this irradiation ultraviolet radiation in the manufacture method of liquid crystal panel of MVA mode of control, the reliability that the reliability that can not cause liquid crystal to decompose causing reduces or the residue of ultraviolet reaction material causes reduces, and can carry out the manufacture method and the manufacturing installation of liquid crystal panel of the orientation process of liquid crystal panel at short notice.
The result of the wholwe-hearted research of invention people finds following item.
At first, be directed to the negative anisotropic liquid crystal of dielectric coefficient (Merck ﹠ Co., Inc.'s system), measure transmissivity for light wavelength with present general employed VA (Vertical Alignment) usefulness.Represent as its result's liquid crystal chart at Fig. 1 for the transmissivity of wavelength.In the figure, transverse axis is wavelength (nm), and the longitudinal axis is transmissivity (%).
As can be known as shown in the drawing, the zone of liquid crystal more than wavelength 330nm, transmissivity is 100%, for transparent, but the following light of wavelength 320nm is absorbed.The photolysis liquid crystal molecule that is absorbed.That is, when the rayed of the wavelength below the wavelength that will be absorbed (shorter than 320nm wavelength) was on liquid crystal, then liquid crystal decomposed, the reduction that produces the reliability of liquid crystal panel thus.Below, the reduction of the reliability that this decomposition that is called liquid crystal is caused.
In addition, will absorb here in the above-mentioned light wavelength long wavelength wavelength (wavelength that begins the absorption of light when shortening light wavelength) be called the absorption edge wavelength, liquid crystal absorption edge wavelength shown in Figure 1 is 320nm.
As described above, have the promptly negative anisotropic liquid crystal of dielectric constant of liquid crystal that VA uses, its absorption edge wavelength is 320nm, and reduces in the 320nm transmissivity.
That is, the reduction of such reliability of the reduction of the calcination of the picture of liquid crystal panel or the reduction of VHR, contrast, think result from decompose by shining the liquid crystal that light produced below the above-mentioned absorption short wavelength, and the residue of above-mentioned ultraviolet reaction material.
Below, in the manufacturing of the liquid crystal panel of MVA mode, be directed to and be included in the ultraviolet reaction material of general employed liquid crystal now, measure absorbance for optical wavelength.Absorbed at light is the zone of the bigger wavelength of absorbance, and ultraviolet reaction material produces polyreaction.
Fig. 2 represents as its result's the ultraviolet reaction material absorbance for wavelength.In the figure, transverse axis is that wavelength (nm), the longitudinal axis are the absorbance (arbitrary unit) of ultraviolet reaction material.In addition, for measure using the material that has mixed liquid crystal and ultraviolet reaction material, when being directed to concentration with ultraviolet reaction material and being for example 0.1w% (w% is meant percentage by weight) below 1%, and two kinds during 0.01w% measure.The thickness of material is below the 15 μ m.
As shown in the drawing, ultraviolet reaction material under concentration height (for example 0.1w%) state, absorbing light in the zone below wavelength 370nm.That is, the absorption edge wavelength of ultraviolet reaction material is 370nm, the light time below illumination wavelength 370nm, can produce polyreaction.
But, carry out and the surplus of reaction material when reducing when polyreaction as can be known, then the light more than wavelength 330nm can not carry out polyreaction.This consideration is because when the concentration step-down (polyreaction proceeds to 90%, and the concentration of reaction material is 0.01w%) of reaction material, long wavelength's light almost is not absorbed in appearance.As above ground, even the light below wavelength 370nm produces the ultraviolet reaction material of polyreaction as can be known, if the following light of illumination wavelength 330nm not, (concentration 0.01w%'s) reaction material that then can not polymerization residue 10%.
That is,, also need to shine the following light of absorption edge wavelength (wavelength 320nm) of above-mentioned liquid crystal in order to have no residue ground polymerization ultraviolet ray reaction material.
In addition, also can consider to use the wavelength longer to produce the ultraviolet reaction material of polyreaction than wavelength 370nm, but if use the wavelength longer to produce the ultraviolet reaction material of polyreaction than wavelength 370nm, even then natural light also might produce polyreaction, owing to handle the reason of difficulty etc., in the manufacturing of the liquid crystal panel of MVA mode, as the ultraviolet reaction material that is contained in liquid crystal, as shown in Figure 2, use the ultraviolet reaction material that produces polyreaction with the light below the wavelength 370nm.
Above-mentioned " when will shine in the light wavelength of liquid crystal make its absorption edge wavelength (320nm) when following then liquid crystal decompose " situation, and the situation of " if the light illumination wavelength 320nm below not, then can't polymerization remaining 10% ultraviolet reaction material " be opposite situation.That is, utilize above-mentioned experiment, the reduction of the reliability that causes for the residue that prevents ultraviolet reaction material for the ultraviolet reaction material that makes all be contained in liquid crystal carries out polyreaction, needs the following light of irradiation absorption end wavelength (320nm).But, as can be known when the following light time of irradiation absorption end wavelength (320nm), then produce the reliability that the decomposition of liquid crystal causes and reduce, need be to satisfy the mode irradiates light of this opposite requirement.
Therefore, for its two side is set up, be about to the light of the wavelength shorter than the absorption edge wavelength (wavelength 320nm) of above-mentioned liquid crystal, the reduction of the reliability that causes for the residue that does not produce ultraviolet reaction material, though surpass the exposure that all ultraviolet reaction materials produce polyreaction, but need shine with controlling, make the scope of the critical value become the exposure of the reduction that is no more than the reliability that the decomposition that produces liquid crystal causes.However, if the following light of the absorption edge wavelength of liquid crystal (wavelength 320nm) only, then can not surpass produce the critical value of exposure of the reduction of the reliability that the decomposition of liquid crystal cause, thereby, as being used to make all ultraviolet reaction materials not remain the exposure of ground polymerization and deficiency, and produce the reliability reduction that the residue of ultraviolet reaction material causes.
Therefore, the major part of ultraviolet ray reaction material is used and is not absorbed in liquid crystal (promptly, the above light of the absorption edge wavelength of liquid crystal undecomposed liquid crystal) (wavelength 320nm) produces polyreaction, and will be with the unreacted in fact reflecting material of the light more than the remaining a little absorption edge wavelength, the light following with the absorption edge wavelength (wavelength 320nm) of liquid crystal carries out polyreaction.
Therefore, with rayed when liquid crystal panel, compare with the exposure of the light (for example light of wavelength coverage 300nm~320nm) of the wavelength shorter, the exposure than the light (for example light of wavelength coverage wavelength 320nm~360nm) of the long wavelength of absorption edge ripple of liquid crystal is increased than the absorption edge wavelength of liquid crystal.Thus, the major part of polyreaction ultraviolet ray reaction material at high speed, and can be at the short processing time unreacted in fact reaction material of the light of polyreaction more than the absorption edge wavelength without reservation.In addition, as above-mentioned ground, the exposure of the light of the wavelength shorter than the absorption edge wavelength of liquid crystal, though surpass the exposure that all ultraviolet reaction materials produce polyreaction, but wish irradiation, making becomes the scope of the critical value that is no more than the exposure that produces the reliable reduction that the liquid crystal decomposition causes with controlling.
Above-mentioned exposure with light (for example light of the wavelength coverage 300nm~320nm) wavelength of lacking than the absorption edge wavelength of liquid crystal is compared, for the exposure than the light (for example light of wavelength coverage 320nm~360nm) of the long wavelength of absorption edge ripple of liquid crystal is increased, light-struck operation is divided into 1st operation of irradiation than the light (light of wavelength coverage 320nm~360nm) of the long wavelength of absorption edge ripple of liquid crystal, with 2nd operation of irradiation, and after beginning the 1st operation, implement the 2nd operation than the light (light of wavelength coverage 300nm~320nm) of the wavelength of the absorption edge wavelength weak point of liquid crystal.
In the 1st operation, light by wavelength coverage 320nm~360nm, the major part of polyreaction ultraviolet ray reaction material, in the 2nd operation, cooperate the concentration of ultraviolet reaction material to reduce the variation of the absorbance cause, the light of the scope by illumination wavelength 300nm~320nm, thereby remaining a little the ultraviolet reaction material of polyreaction.
As the light source of radiation, can use phosphor body lamp or the iodine Excimer lamp of having removed the short wavelength at the light of the scope of the employed wavelength 320nm~360nm of the 1st operation.In addition, as the light source of radiation, can use the iodine Excimer lamp of 308XeCl Excimer lamp, phosphor body lamp, inclosure xenon at the light of the employed wavelength 300nm of the 2nd operation~320nm scope.
Be used to implement the manufacturing installation of the liquid crystal panel of above-mentioned the 1st operation and the 2nd operation, for example can constitute as described below.
Constitute illumination part by the 1st illumination part and the 2nd illumination part, for liquid crystal panel, in the 1st operation, from above-mentioned the 1st illumination part with respect to liquid crystal panel irradiation light than the long wavelength of absorption edge ripple of liquid crystal, and after beginning the 1st operation, from the light of above-mentioned the 2nd illumination part irradiation wavelength shorter, carry out the orientation process of liquid crystal panel than the absorption edge wavelength of liquid crystal.
In addition, the unit that voltage is put on liquid crystal panel is set, when penetrating device and carry out rayed by the 1st light at least, voltage is put on liquid crystal panel in the support sector that supports liquid crystal panel, and aligned liquid-crystal.
According in the present invention above, solve above-mentioned problem as described below.

(table 1)
?6 The XeCl Excimer lamp 1 Do not have
?7 There is not irradiation 0 Do not have ×
Table 1 is that expression contains the liquid crystal (the system MJ961213 of Merck ﹠ Co., Inc.) that the present generally light below the employed above-mentioned wavelength 370nm of irradiation then produces the acrylic ester ultraviolet ray reaction material (DIC corporate system) of polyreaction to the concentration with 0.1w%, shines about 10J/cm 2Light (having removed the main light below the wavelength 320nm) from extra-high-pressure mercury vapour lamp with wavelength 350nm~370nm scope by wave filter, the surplus ratio of ultraviolet ray reaction material was 10% (being equivalent to concentration 0.01w%), relative therewith, the variation exposure is shone the light from the XeCl Excimer lamp, at the result with reliability (calcination of picture or the reduction of VHR, the reduction of the contrast) investigation of panel of having or not with respect to the decomposition of the liquid crystal of exposure.
The XeCl Excimer lamp is as enclose the Excimer lamp of xenon-133 gas and chlorine body, as shown in figure 10, have luminous peak value at wavelength 308nm, the light of radiation wavelength 290nm~320nm scope above-mentionedly.
Shown in above-mentioned table 1, when with 10J/cm 2Above exposure irradiation then can be seen the decomposition that produces liquid crystal from the light time below the wavelength 320nm of XeCl Excimer lamp, causes that thus the reliability of panel reduces.
On the one hand, be 0 (not having irradiation)~1J/cm in exposure 2The time, the decomposition that also can not produce liquid crystal, but the reliability of panel reduces.This considers the reduction of the reliability that the residue of the ultraviolet reaction material of generation causes.In addition, when with 2J/cm 2~5J/cm 2The irradiation of exposure the time, the decomposition that then can not produce liquid crystal, and the reliability of panel is also good.This situation represents can not produce the decomposition of liquid crystal, and all in addition ultraviolet reaction materials produce polyreaction, and do not remain ultraviolet reaction material.
As known from the above, in order not produce light below the wavelength 320nm because the reduction of the reliability that the residue of ultraviolet reaction material causes, and surpass the exposure that all ultraviolet reaction materials produce polyreaction, do not produce because the scope of the critical value of the exposure that the reliability that the decomposition of liquid crystal causes reduces is at 2J/cm but surpass 2~10J/cm 2Exposure.
Below, investigation is by the above light of wavelength 320nm, make the major part reaction (polymerization) of ultraviolet reaction material, and, in order not produce because the reduction of the reliability that the residue of ultraviolet reaction material causes, and surpass the exposure that all ultraviolet reaction materials produce polyreaction, but but do not surpassing generation because the illuminator of the light below the scope illumination wavelength 320nm of the critical value of the exposure of the reduction of the reliability that the decomposition of liquid crystal causes or the purpose of rayed flow process are carried out following experiment.Its result is shown in table 2.

Table 2 is to contain the liquid crystal (the system MJ961213 of Merck ﹠ Co., Inc.) that the present generally light below the employed above-mentioned wavelength 370nm of irradiation then produces the acrylic ester ultraviolet ray reaction material (DIC corporate system) of polyreaction for the concentration with 0.1w%, with following condition irradiates light, be directed to and have or not liquid crystal to decompose to investigate with the reliability (reduction of the calcination of picture or the reduction of VHR, contrast) of panel.
condition 1 〉: with 20J/cm 2Exposure irradiation from the light of the wavelength 290nm~320nm of XeCl Excimer lamp.
condition 2 〉: with 15J/cm 2Exposure irradiation light from the iodine Excimer lamp after, with 5J/cm 2Exposure irradiation from the light of XeCl Excimer lamp.Iodine Excimer lamp such as above-mentioned shown in Figure 8, the light of radiation wavelength 310nm~360nm, but the following light quantity of wavelength 320nm is about 6% and seldom for all light quantities.
As noted above, condition 1 time, do not have the residue of ultraviolet reaction material, but produce the decomposition of liquid crystal and the reliability of panel reduces.But condition 2 times, the decomposition of liquid crystal or the residue of ultraviolet reaction material all do not have, and the reliability of panel is good.
So, at first, carry out after the irradiation of iodine Excimer lamp, if carry out the irradiation of XeCl Excimer lamp, then the reduction of the reliability that causes of the residue of the reduction of the reliability that causes of the decomposition of liquid crystal or ultraviolet reaction material does not all have, and can make liquid crystal panel.
As noted above, as condition 2, rayed is divided into twice, the 1 time uses the light that does not contain or almost do not contain below the wavelength 320nm, but the big light source of radiation illumination of wavelength coverage 320nm~360nm carries out polymerization in the major part of the reaction material of chien shih ultraviolet ray in short-term.
Then, the light by wavelength coverage 300nm~320nm makes that remaining a little ultraviolet reaction material carries out polyreaction in the liquid crystal.
The 2nd time irradiation, the reduction of the reliability that causes for the residue that does not produce ultraviolet reaction material, surpass the exposure that all ultraviolet reaction materials produce polyreaction, but use the light source that can shine in the scope of the critical value of the exposure of the reduction that does not surpass the reliability that the decomposition that produces liquid crystal causes.
The situation of this condition, carry out the major part of polyreaction ultraviolet ray reaction material by light, carry out the remaining ultraviolet reaction material of polyreaction by light from the wavelength 290nm~320nm of XeCl Excimer lamp from the wavelength 320nm~360nm of iodine Excimer lamp.
Though consider various be used in the 1st time irradiation illuminator and be used in the combination of illuminator of the 2nd time irradiation, but for example as the lamp that is used in the 1st time irradiation, except the iodine Excimer lamp that is used in above-mentioned experiment, consider to have removed the phosphor body lamp below the wavelength 320nm etc. with color filter etc.In addition, as the lamp that is used in the 2nd irradiation, consider the XeCl Excimer lamp, do not remove the following phosphor body lamp of wavelength 320nm, enclose the iodine Excimer lamp of xenon etc.
So, as the 1st operation and the 2nd operation, by irradiation is divided into twice, but the kind of variable light source can be set exposure, and the exposure of the scope of wavelength 300nm~320nm of control wavelength 320nm~360nm scope independently.Therefore, in the 1st operation, major part for the ultraviolet ray of polymerization apace reaction material, set for height radiation illumination and give more exposure at short notice, on the other hand, in the 2nd operation, become the exposure of wavelength 300nm~320nm scope easily set for above all ultraviolet reaction materials and produce the exposure of polyreaction, but be no more than the critical value of the exposure that reliability that the decomposition that produces liquid crystal causes reduces.
