Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、液晶パネルを構成する2枚の基板間に介在して両基板を支持する液晶パネル用スペーサーの形成方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
液晶パネルは、画素電極、薄膜トランジスタ、MIM形成素子及びマトリクス配線等を備える下側基板と、電極やカラーフイルター等を備える上側基板とを対向させ、両基板間に液晶を封入して構成されている。そして、従来は液晶層の厚さを決定するために、いずれかの基板上(両方の基板の場合も有る)に透明で、円筒状もしくは粒状の微少なスペーサーを散布し、このスペーサーを挟み込んで両方の基板を張り合わせていた。
【0003】
しかしながら、この方法によると、下側基板の凸部(TFT、MIM型素子、電極配線部等)上に散布された少数のスペーサーのみが上側基板に当たるため、この少数のスペーサーにより支持される部分に荷重が集中し、素子や電極に損害を与えることがあつた。
【0004】
スペーサーにより支持される部分に集中する荷重の軽減を図るために、スペーサーの散布密度を上げることも考えられるが、この場合には、表示部にも多数のスペーサーが散布されるためにコントラストが低下するという問題があつた。
【0005】
これらの問題を解決する方法として、特開平3−89320号公報には、画素電極を備えた基板上に、紫外線硬化型の樹脂を塗布し、画素電極上に位置していない部分を硬化させ、その後、未硬化部分を除去して、スペーサーを形成する方法が開示されている。この方法によれば、素子や配線の破壊が防止され、更にコントラストの高い液晶パネルを得ることができる。
【0006】
しかしながら、この方法には、
(1)配向処理を行った配向膜上にスペーサーを形成した場合、紫外線硬化型樹脂の塗布工程でその溶剤により配向処理を破壊してしまう、
(2)塗布、乾燥と工程に時間がかかり、通常さらに保護層を設けて露光時の酸素の影響による感度低下を防止し、画線の再現性の悪化を避け、製造得率の低下の防ぐ必要がある、
等の問題点がある。
【0007】
特開平2−210329号公報にはフォトポリマーシートを配向膜を形成した基板に張り付け、パターン露光、現像によりスペーサードットを形成し、その後、配向処理を行う方法が開示されている。この方法では、スペーサードットの形成後に配向処理を行うので、配向処理時に形成したスペーサードットの脱落やスペーサードット周囲の配向膜面に十分な配向処理ができないという不都合が発生していた。
【0008】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、
(1)配向膜の十分な配向能を維持し、(2)荷重の集中が無く、かつ(3)画線の再現性に優れたスペーサーを簡便な工程で形成する方法を提供することにある。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の第1の目的は、液晶パネルを構成する2枚の基板間に介在して両基板を支持する液晶パネル用スペーサーの形成方法において、
(1)該基板の少なくとも一方に配向膜を形成する工程、
(2)該配向膜に配向処理を行う工程、
(3)該配向処理を施した配向膜を形成した該基板に、可撓性支持体上に少なくとも露光時に実質的に酸素を遮断する有機高分子層、その上に水系現像液で現像可能な光重合性樹脂層を設けた感光性シートをラミネートする工程、
(4)必要に応じて該可撓性支持体を剥離して、該ラミネートされた光重合性樹脂層にパターン露光して硬化させる工程、
(5)可撓性支持体を除去した状態で現像を行い、未露光部を除去する工程、
を含むことを特徴とする液晶パネル用スペーサーの形成方法により達成された。
【0010】
本発明の第2の目的は、上記該ラミネートされた光重合性樹脂層にパターン露光させる工程において、該ラミネートされた光重合性樹脂層の、画素電極上に位置していない部分及び/又はカラーフィルターを構成するブラックマトリックス上に位置している部分に対応する少なくとも一部にパターン露光し、現像することにより、当該位置にのみスペーサーを形成することを特徴とする液晶パネル用スペーサーの形成方法により達成された。

[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a method for forming a spacer for a liquid crystal panel that is interposed between two substrates constituting a liquid crystal panel and supports both substrates.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The liquid crystal panel is configured such that a lower substrate including a pixel electrode, a thin film transistor, an MIM formation element, a matrix wiring, and the like are opposed to an upper substrate including an electrode, a color filter, and the like, and liquid crystal is sealed between the substrates. . Conventionally, in order to determine the thickness of the liquid crystal layer, a transparent, cylindrical or granular minute spacer is sprayed on either substrate (in some cases, both substrates), and this spacer is sandwiched. Both substrates were pasted together.
[0003]
However, according to this method, only a small number of spacers scattered on the convex portion (TFT, MIM type element, electrode wiring portion, etc.) of the lower substrate hit the upper substrate, so that the portion supported by the small number of spacers The load was concentrated, causing damage to the elements and electrodes.
[0004]
In order to reduce the load concentrated on the part supported by the spacer, it may be possible to increase the dispersion density of the spacer, but in this case, the contrast decreases because a large number of spacers are scattered on the display. There was a problem of doing.
[0005]
As a method for solving these problems, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-89320 discloses that a UV curable resin is applied on a substrate provided with a pixel electrode, and a portion not located on the pixel electrode is cured. Thereafter, a method of forming a spacer by removing an uncured portion is disclosed. According to this method, destruction of elements and wiring can be prevented, and a liquid crystal panel with higher contrast can be obtained.
[0006]
However, this method
(1) When a spacer is formed on the alignment film subjected to the alignment treatment, the alignment treatment is destroyed by the solvent in the coating step of the ultraviolet curable resin.

There are problems such as.
[0007]
JP-A-2-210329 discloses a method in which a photopolymer sheet is attached to a substrate on which an alignment film is formed, spacer dots are formed by pattern exposure and development, and then alignment treatment is performed. In this method, since the alignment treatment is performed after the formation of the spacer dots, there has been a disadvantage that the spacer dots formed during the alignment treatment are not dropped and the alignment film surface around the spacer dots cannot be sufficiently aligned.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The purpose of the present invention is to

[0018]
【Example】
Example 1
With reference to JP-A-3-89320, a glass substrate on which a gate electrode, a pixel electrode, a source electrode, an insulating film, a drain electrode, a passivation film, and an alignment film were formed was prepared. Thereafter, the alignment film was subjected to alignment treatment by rubbing.
On the other hand, the photosensitive sheet | seat of the following structure was created. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA205: manufactured by Kuraray Co., Ltd.) was applied on a 75 μm polyethylene terephthalate film so as to have a dry film thickness of 1.5 μm.
On top of that, a photosensitive solution having the following formulation was applied to a dry film thickness of 7.0 μm.
[0019]
Figure 0003782127
[0020]
Further thereon, a 12 μm polypropylene film was laminated as a cover film.
[0021]
Using this photosensitive sheet, a spacer was prepared as follows.
The cover film of the photosensitive sheet material is peeled off, and a laminator (VP-II type) manufactured by Taisei Laminator is used on the passivation film of the lower substrate, the heating temperature is 110 ° C., the roller pressure is 2 kg / cm, and the conveyance speed is 0.3 m. The photosensitive layer was laminated at / min and the polyethylene terephthalate film was peeled off to provide a smooth photosensitive layer. Next, pattern exposure was performed on the intersection of the gate electrode and the drain electrode through a mask having a diameter of 30 μm, and thereafter development was performed with an alkaline aqueous solution having a pH of 10.8 to remove the unexposed portion. The pattern created in this way had a high space accuracy as a spacer, sufficient strength, and a sufficient area so as not to concentrate the weight. Further, after that, when a liquid crystal display panel was produced using the substrate, no display defect due to orientation failure occurred.
[0022]
Comparative Example 1
With reference to JP-A-3-89320, a glass substrate on which a gate electrode, a pixel electrode, a source electrode, an insulating film, a drain electrode, a passivation film, and an alignment film were formed was prepared. Thereafter, the alignment film was subjected to alignment treatment by rubbing.
Thereafter, the photosensitive solution of Example 1 was directly applied onto the alignment film so that the film thickness after drying was 7.0 μm, and further polyvinyl alcohol (PVA205: manufactured by Kuraray Co., Ltd.) was applied. Then, exposure-development similar to Example 1 was performed, and the spacer pattern was created. When a liquid crystal display panel was prepared using the above substrate, the alignment treatment was destroyed during the application of the photosensitive solution, resulting in display failure due to alignment failure.
[0023]
Comparative Example 2
With reference to JP-A-3-89320, a glass substrate on which a gate electrode, a pixel electrode, a source electrode, an insulating film, a drain electrode, a passivation film, and an alignment film were formed was prepared. Thereafter, a spacer pattern was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1. Thereafter, the alignment film was subjected to alignment treatment by rubbing. At that time, some spacer dots were dropped. When a liquid crystal display panel was prepared using the substrate, the uniformity of the cell gap was partially disturbed due to the dropping of the spacer dots, and display defects occurred. In addition, since a sufficient alignment treatment cannot be performed around the spacer dots, display failure due to alignment failure occurred.
[0024]
【The invention's effect】
According to the method of the present invention, the alignment ability of the alignment film is sufficiently maintained, and the load is not concentrated on a part of the spacer, thereby preventing the destruction of elements and electrodes, and preventing the decrease in contrast. Can do.
