Description

There is the manufacture method that the driving liquid crystal of transverse electric field represents the substrate of element liquid crystal orientation film
Technical field
The present invention relates to the manufacture method that there is the driving liquid crystal of transverse electric field and represent the substrate of element liquid crystal orientation film.More specifically, the liquid crystal related to for the manufacture of ghost excellent represents the new method of element.
Background technology
Liquid crystal represents that element is light as quality, cross section is thin and the indication device that power consumption is low is known, is used to large-scale tv purposes etc. in recent years, achieves significant development.Liquid crystal represents that element such as utilizes a pair transparency carrier clamping liquid crystal layer possessing electrode to form.Further, represent in element at liquid crystal, the organic film comprising organic material is used as liquid crystal orientation film makes liquid crystal present the state of orientation of expectation between the substrates.
That is, liquid crystal orientation film is the component parts that liquid crystal represents element, and it is formed in the surface contacted with liquid crystal of the substrate of clamping liquid crystal, bears and makes liquid crystal between this substrate along this effect of specific direction orientation.Further, for liquid crystal orientation film, except making liquid crystal except these effects of specific direction orientation such as the direction being such as parallel to substrate, sometimes also require to control this effect to liquid crystal pretilt angle.The ability of the control liquid crystal aligning of this liquid crystal orientation film is (hereinafter referred to as tropism control ability.) be endowed by carrying out orientation process to the organic film forming liquid crystal orientation film.
As the method for orientation treatment of the liquid crystal orientation film for giving tropism control ability, there will be a known brushing method all the time.Brushing method refers to following method: for the organic film of the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) on substrate, polyamide, polyimide etc., with the cloth of cotton, nylon, polyester etc. along its surface of constant direction friction (brushing), thus make liquid crystal along frictional direction (brushing direction) orientation.This brushing method can realize more stable liquid crystal aligning state easily, and the liquid crystal be therefore used in the past represents the manufacturing process of element.Further, as the organic film used in liquid crystal orientation film, the main polyimide system organic film selecting the reliabilities such as thermotolerance, electrical characteristics excellence.
But, the problem of producing dirt, producing electrostatic is existed to the brushing method that the surface of the liquid crystal orientation film comprising polyimide etc. rubs.In addition, due to liquid crystal in recent years, to represent that electrode on the high-definition of element, corresponding substrate or liquid crystal drive switch that active element causes concavo-convex, therefore, cannot with cloth rub equably liquid crystal orientation film surface, uniform liquid crystal aligning cannot be realized.
Thus, as other method for orientation treatment of liquid crystal orientation film not carrying out brushing, have studied optical alignment method energetically.
Optical alignment method has various method, forming anisotropy, making liquid crystal carry out orientation according to this anisotropy by rectilinearly polarized light or the light through collimating in the organic film forming liquid crystal orientation film.
As main optical alignment method, there will be a known the optical alignment method of breakdown type.In the method, such as, polarized UV rays is irradiated to polyimide film, utilizes the polarization direction dependence of the UVA of molecular structure and anisotropic decomposition occurs.Further, liquid crystal is made to carry out orientation (such as with reference to patent documentation 1) by undecomposed and residual polyimide.
In addition, as other optical alignment method, also there will be a known the optical alignment method of photo-crosslinking type, photoisomerization type.In the optical alignment method of photo-crosslinking type, such as, use poly-vinyl cinnamate, irradiate polarized UV rays, make double bond part generation dimerization reaction (cross-linking reaction) of 2 side chains being parallel to polarized light.Further, liquid crystal is made to carry out orientation (such as with reference to non-patent literature 1) along the direction vertical with polarization direction.In the optical alignment method of photoisomerization type, there is be used in side chain while the side chain type macromolecule of azobenzene, irradiate polarized UV rays, make the azobenzene part generation isomerization reaction of the side chain being parallel to polarized light, make liquid crystal carry out orientation (such as with reference to non-patent literature 2) along the direction vertical with polarization direction.
As above-mentioned example, utilizing optical alignment method to carry out in the method for orientation process to liquid crystal orientation film, without the need to carrying out brushing, do not worry producing dirt, producing electrostatic.Further, even if the substrate representing element for the irregular liquid crystal of surperficial tool also can implementation orientation process, thus the method for orientation treatment of the liquid crystal orientation film being suitable for industrial manufacture process is become.

Summary of the invention
the problem that invention will solve
As mentioned above, with represent the method for orientation treatment of element as liquid crystal and compared with the brushing method of all the time carrying out industrial utilization, optical alignment method, without the need to this operation of brushing operation, therefore possesses obvious advantage.Further, compared with the brushing method that the tropism control ability produced with brushing is fixed substantially, optical alignment method can change the exposure of polarized light to control tropism control ability.But, when optical alignment method is wanted to realize the tropism control ability identical with degree when utilizing brushing method, sometimes need a large amount of polarizing light irradiation amounts or stable liquid crystal aligning cannot be realized.
Such as, in the breakdown type optical alignment method described in above-mentioned patent documentation 1, need the ultraviolet light etc. sent by the high-pressure sodium lamp of power 500W polyimide film being irradiated to 60 minutes, need long-time and a large amount of Ultraviolet radiation.In addition, when dimeric form, photoisomerization type optical alignment method, a large amount of Ultraviolet radiation of several J (joule) ~ tens of about J are sometimes needed.And then when photo-crosslinking type, photoisomerization type optical alignment method, thermal stability, the light stability of liquid crystal aligning are poor, therefore make liquid crystal when representing element, worry to occur orientation bad, represent ghost.Especially, the driving liquid crystal of transverse electric field represents in element, is switched by liquid crystal molecule in face, the liquid crystal aligning skew after therefore easily there is liquid crystal drive, drives the expression ghost caused to be considered obvious problem by AC.
Therefore, for optical alignment method, require to realize the high efficiency of orientation process, stable liquid crystal aligning, requirement can give the liquid crystal orientation film of high tropism control ability, aligning agent for liquid crystal and alignment method efficiently to liquid crystal orientation film.
The object of the invention is to, provide with high-level efficiency be endowed tropism control ability, ghost excellent, there is the driving liquid crystal of transverse electric field represent that the element substrate of liquid crystal orientation film and the driving liquid crystal of transverse electric field with this substrate represent element.The present invention also aims to, the manufacture method with the substrate of liquid crystal orientation film of the bounds of the polarized UV rays exposure that can expand the good liquid crystal aligning that can realize in liquid crystal orientation film is provided.

In 2nd mode of the present invention, by importing anisotropic process to film, when application employs the side chain type of the structure with the light fries' rearrangement group shown in above-mentioned formula (19) high molecular liquid crystal orientation film, the ultraviolet irradiation amount of [II] operation is when Δ A is reached in the scope of 1% ~ 70% of maximum ultraviolet irradiation amount, first, substrate forms film 7.As shown in (a) of Fig. 4, in the film 7 that substrate is formed, there is the structure of side chain 8 random alignment.According to the random alignment of the side chain 8 of film 7, the liquid crystal ultimate constituent of side chain 8 and photonasty group also orientation randomly, this film 7 is isotropic.
In 1st mode of this enforcement, the ultraviolet irradiation amount of [II] operation, when Δ A is reached in the scope of 1% ~ 15% of maximum ultraviolet irradiation amount, irradiates polarized UV rays to this isotropic film 1.Thus, as shown in (b) of Fig. 1, there is the light reactions such as dimerization reaction the photonasty group priorities of the side chain 2a among the side chain 2 that the direction parallel with ultraviolet polarization direction arranges, there is photonasty group.Its result, the density that there occurs the side chain 2a of light reaction slightly uprises on the polarization direction of irradiation ultraviolet radiation, and its result gives very little anisotropy to film 1.
In 1st mode of this enforcement, the ultraviolet irradiation amount of [II] operation, when Δ A is reached in the scope of 15% ~ 70% of maximum ultraviolet irradiation amount, irradiates polarized UV rays to this isotropic film 3.Thus, as shown in (b) of Fig. 2, there is the light reactions such as dimerization reaction the photonasty group priorities of the side chain 4a among the side chain 4 that the direction parallel with ultraviolet polarization direction arranges, there is photonasty group.Its result, the density that there occurs the side chain 4a of light reaction uprises on the polarization direction of irradiation ultraviolet radiation, and its result gives little anisotropy to film 3.
In the 2nd mode of this enforcement, application employs the high molecular liquid crystal orientation film of side chain type of the structure with photoisomerization group or the light fries' rearrangement group shown in above-mentioned formula (18), the ultraviolet irradiation amount of [II] operation, when Δ A is reached in the scope of 1% ~ 70% of maximum ultraviolet irradiation amount, irradiates polarized UV rays to this isotropic film 5.Thus, as shown in (b) of Fig. 3, there is the light reactions such as light fries' rearrangement the photonasty group priorities of the side chain 6a among the side chain 6 that the direction parallel with ultraviolet polarization direction arranges, there is photonasty group.Its result, the density that there occurs the side chain 6a of light reaction slightly uprises on the polarization direction of irradiation ultraviolet radiation, and its result gives very little anisotropy to film 5.
In the 2nd mode of this enforcement, application employs the high molecular film of side chain type of the structure with the light fries' rearrangement group shown in above-mentioned formula (19), the ultraviolet irradiation amount of [II] operation, when Δ A is reached in the scope of 1% ~ 70% of maximum ultraviolet irradiation amount, irradiates polarized UV rays to this isotropic film 7.Thus, as shown in (b) of Fig. 4, there is the light reactions such as light fries' rearrangement the photonasty group priorities of the side chain 8a among the side chain 8 that the direction parallel with ultraviolet polarization direction arranges, there is photonasty group.Its result, the density that there occurs the side chain 8a of light reaction uprises on the polarization direction of irradiation ultraviolet radiation, and its result gives little anisotropy to film 7.
Then, in the 1st mode of this enforcement, the ultraviolet irradiation amount of [II] operation is when Δ A is reached in the scope of 1% ~ 15% of maximum ultraviolet irradiation amount, is heated by the film 1 after irradiating polarized light and makes mesomorphic state.Thus, as shown in (c) of Fig. 1, in film 1, be parallel between the direction of polarization direction of irradiation ultraviolet radiation and the direction perpendicular to the polarization direction of irradiation ultraviolet radiation, the amount of the cross-linking reaction of generation is different.Now, the amount of the cross-linking reaction that the direction being parallel to the polarization direction of irradiation ultraviolet radiation produces is very little, and therefore work as plastifier in this cross-linking reaction position.Therefore, perpendicular to the liquid crystal liquid crystal property in the direction of the polarization direction of irradiation ultraviolet radiation higher than the liquid crystal liquid crystal property in direction of polarization direction being parallel to irradiation ultraviolet radiation, there is self assembly in the direction being parallel to the polarization direction of irradiation ultraviolet radiation, the side chain 2 comprising liquid crystal ultimate constituent carries out reorientation.Its result, the very little anisotropy of the film 1 brought out because of photo-crosslinking is amplified because of heat, gives larger anisotropy to film 1.
Similarly, in the 1st mode of this enforcement, the ultraviolet irradiation amount of [II] operation, when Δ A is reached in the scope of 15% ~ 70% of maximum ultraviolet irradiation amount, is heated by the film 3 after polarizing light irradiation and make mesomorphic state.Thus, as shown in (c) of Fig. 2, in side chain type polymeric membrane 3, be parallel between the direction of polarization direction of irradiation ultraviolet radiation and the direction perpendicular to the polarization direction of irradiation ultraviolet radiation, the amount of the cross-linking reaction of generation is different.Therefore, there is self assembly in the direction being parallel to the polarization direction of irradiation ultraviolet radiation, the side chain 4 comprising liquid crystal ultimate constituent carries out reorientation.Its result, the less anisotropy of the film 3 brought out because of photo-crosslinking is amplified because of heat, gives larger anisotropy to film 3.
Similarly, in 2nd mode of this enforcement, application employs the high molecular film of side chain type of the structure with photoisomerization group or the light fries' rearrangement group shown in above-mentioned formula (18), the ultraviolet irradiation amount of [II] operation, when Δ A is reached in the scope of 1% ~ 70% of maximum ultraviolet irradiation amount, is carried out heating by the film 5 after polarizing light irradiation and make mesomorphic state.Thus, as shown in (c) of Fig. 3, in film 5, be parallel between the direction of polarization direction of irradiation ultraviolet radiation and the direction perpendicular to the polarization direction of irradiation ultraviolet radiation, the amount of the light Fries rearrangement of generation is different.Now, the liquid crystal aligning power of the side chain before the liquid crystal aligning force rate reaction of the light fries' rearrangement body produced perpendicular to the direction of the polarization direction of irradiation ultraviolet radiation is strong, there is self assembly in the direction therefore perpendicular to the polarization direction of irradiation ultraviolet radiation, the side chain 6 comprising liquid crystal ultimate constituent carries out reorientation.Its result, the very little anisotropy of the film 5 brought out because of light Fries rearrangement is amplified because of heat, gives larger anisotropy to film 5.
Similarly, in 2nd mode of this enforcement, application employs the high molecular film of side chain type of the structure with the light fries' rearrangement group shown in above-mentioned formula (19), the ultraviolet irradiation amount of [II] operation, when Δ A is reached in the scope of 1% ~ 70% of maximum ultraviolet irradiation amount, is carried out heating by the film 7 after polarizing light irradiation and make mesomorphic state.Thus, as shown in (c) of Fig. 4, in side chain type polymeric membrane 7, be parallel between the direction of polarization direction of irradiation ultraviolet radiation and the direction perpendicular to the polarization direction of irradiation ultraviolet radiation, the amount of the light Fries rearrangement of generation is different.The anchor force of light fries' rearrangement body 8 (a) is than the side chain Final 8 before rearrangement, when therefore producing certain a certain amount of above light fries' rearrangement body, there is self assembly in the direction being parallel to the polarization direction of irradiation ultraviolet radiation, the side chain 8 comprising liquid crystal ultimate constituent carries out reorientation.Its result, the less anisotropy of the film 7 brought out because of light Fries rearrangement is amplified because of heat, gives larger anisotropy to film 7.
Therefore, the film used in method of the present invention by carrying out successively irradiating polarized UV rays and heating to film, thus is imported anisotropy efficiently, can make the liquid crystal orientation film of tropism control ability excellence.
Further, for the film used in method of the present invention, the exposure of polarized UV rays to film irradiation and the heating-up temperature of heating is optimized.Can realize thus importing anisotropy efficiently to film.
The exposure importing for anisotropy best polarized UV rays efficiently for the film used in the present invention reaches best polarized UV rays exposure corresponding to the amount of the photonasty group generation photo-crosslinking made in this film, photoisomerization reaction or light Fries rearrangement.The film that uses in the present invention is irradiated to the result of polarized UV rays, carry out photo-crosslinking, photoisomerization reaction or light Fries rearrangement the photonasty group of side chain few time, do not reach sufficient light reaction amount.Now, also sufficient self assembly can not be carried out even if carry out heating thereafter.On the other hand, for the film used in the present invention, to the result of structured illumination polarized UV rays with photocrosslinking reaction group, carry out the photonasty group of the side chain of cross-linking reaction excessive time, the cross-linking reaction between side chain can excessively advance.Now, gained film becomes upright and outspoken, sometimes hinders the propelling of the self assembly by heating thereafter.In addition, for the film used in the present invention, to the result of structured illumination polarized UV rays with light fries' rearrangement group, when the photonasty group carrying out the side chain of light Fries rearrangement becomes excessive, the liquid crystal liquid crystal property of film can too reduce.Now, the liquid crystal liquid crystal property of gained film also reduces, and sometimes hinders the propelling of the self assembly by heating thereafter.And then to when having the structured illumination polarized UV rays of light fries' rearrangement group, if ultraviolet irradiation amount is too much, then side chain type macromolecule generation light decomposes, and sometimes hinders the propelling of the self assembly by heating thereafter.
Therefore, in film used in the present invention, 0.1 % by mole ~ 40 % by mole that photo-crosslinking occurs because of the irradiation of polarized UV rays for the photonasty group of side chain, the optimised quantity of photoisomerization reaction or light Fries rearrangement is preferably set to the photonasty group that this side chain type polymeric membrane has, be more preferably set to 0.1 % by mole ~ 20 % by mole.By making the amount of the photonasty group of the side chain carrying out light reaction be this scope, the self assemblyization in heating thereafter can efficiently advance, and can form the efficient anisotropy in film.
In the film that method of the present invention uses, by the optimization of the exposure of polarized UV rays, thus optimize the amount of the photo-crosslinking of the photonasty group in the side chain of side chain type polymeric membrane, photoisomerization reaction or light Fries rearrangement.Further, realize in the lump with heating thereafter importing anisotropy efficiently in film used in the present invention.Now, for the polarized UV rays amount be applicable to, can carry out based on the evaluation of the uv absorption of film used in the present invention.
That is, for the film used in the present invention, be determined at that polarized UV rays is postradiation respectively, the UVA in direction of polarization direction that is parallel to polarized UV rays and the UVA in the direction perpendicular to the polarization direction of polarized UV rays.Evaluate Δ A by the measurement result of uv absorption, described Δ A is the ultraviolet absorbance being parallel to the direction of the polarization direction of polarized UV rays in this film and the difference perpendicular to the ultraviolet absorbance in the direction of the polarization direction of polarized UV rays.Further, the exposure of the maximal value (Δ Amax) obtaining the Δ A realized in film used in the present invention and the polarized UV rays realizing it.In manufacture method of the present invention, the polarized UV rays exposure this being realized Δ Amax, as benchmark, can determine the polarized UV rays amount of the preferred amounts of irradiating in the manufacture of liquid crystal orientation film.
In manufacture method of the present invention, preferably the exposure of the polarized UV rays of irradiating film used in the present invention is set to and is set in the scope of 1% ~ 50% in the scope of 1% ~ 70% of the amount of the polarized UV rays that can realize Δ Amax, more preferably.In film used in the present invention, the exposure that can realize the polarized UV rays in the scope of 1% ~ 50% of the amount of the polarized UV rays of Δ Amax is equivalent to the amount of the polarized UV rays of 0.1 % by mole ~ 20 % by mole generation photo-crosslinkings of the photonasty integrated group that this side chain type polymeric membrane is had.
As mentioned above, in manufacture method of the present invention, in order to realize importing anisotropy efficiently to film, using the high molecular liquid crystal temperature range of this side chain type as benchmark, determine applicable heating-up temperature as described above.Therefore, such as, when the high molecular liquid crystal temperature range of side chain type used in the present invention is 100 DEG C ~ 200 DEG C, expect to make the postradiation heating-up temperature of polarized UV rays be 90 DEG C ~ 190 DEG C.By such setting, give larger anisotropy to film used in the present invention.
By such operation, the liquid crystal provided by the present invention represents that element is to the external stress such as light, heat display high reliability.
Operate as above, the driving liquid crystal of the transverse electric field manufactured by the inventive method represents that element substrate or the driving liquid crystal of transverse electric field with this substrate represent the excellent in reliability of element, can compatibly for large picture and the LCD TV etc. of high-resolution.
