−113213号公報)。In order to perform liquid crystal display using a liquid crystal element, it is necessary that liquid crystal molecules are oriented. In conventional liquid crystal devices, in order to align liquid crystal molecules in the desired state, a resin film such as polyimide is placed on the electrode surface of a substrate with electrodes that sandwich the liquid crystal, and this is widely used by rubbing treatment. . Furthermore, in order to improve the orientation of liquid crystal molecules, the steepness characteristics of the liquid crystal element with respect to electric field changes, the viewing angle characteristics, etc., a technique is known in which the resin film is irradiated with ultraviolet light (Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 1983-1992).

となっている。However, in these conventional techniques, an alignment film such as a resin film is essential on the electrode surface of the electrode-equipped substrate, and the quality of the alignment film determines the quality of the alignment of liquid crystal molecules. Therefore, in order to obtain a good alignment state of liquid crystal molecules, processes such as forming an alignment film and rubbing treatment cannot be avoided, and these processes are the cause of a decrease in the yield of liquid crystal elements. .

る。On the other hand, in order to obtain good alignment of liquid crystal molecules without using an alignment film or rubbing treatment, a method has been proposed in which the liquid crystal element is subjected to bending deformation treatment and the liquid crystal molecules are aligned by shearing (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-10322). However, even with this technology, the condition of the electrode-side surface of the electrode-equipped substrate that the liquid crystal is in direct contact with affects the final alignment of the liquid crystal molecules, which in turn affects the contrast ratio, threshold characteristics, etc. of the liquid crystal element. do. Therefore, there is a demand for a liquid crystal element in which the surface of the electrode-attached substrate on the electrode side is in good condition and has excellent contrast ratio, threshold characteristics, and the like.

The purpose is to provide a liquid crystal element with good threshold characteristics and the like.

発明を完成するに至った。[Means for Solving the Problems] As a result of extensive research in order to solve the above problems, the present inventors have developed a liquid crystal using a substrate with electrodes of a liquid crystal element whose surface on the electrode side is treated with ultraviolet light irradiation. The inventors have discovered that the object can be achieved by using a device, and have completed the present invention based on this knowledge.
すなわち本発明は、対向する電極側の表面が紫外光照射

本発明の液晶素子は、一対の電極付き基板とそれらの間
に挟持された液晶材料からなる。The liquid crystal element of the present invention consists of a pair of substrates with electrodes and a liquid crystal material sandwiched between them.

リエチレンテレフタレート(PET)、ポリカーボネー
ト(PC)などが好適に使用される。Examples of the substrate for the electrode-attached substrate include glass and flexible plastic substrates. As the flexible plastic substrate, for example, polyether sulfone (PES), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate (PC), etc. are preferably used.

透明電極が好ましい。具体的には、Inzos 5n
OzWI等が挙げられる。電極はエツチング等の方法で

露出している。The electrode is preferably a transparent electrode formed on the substrate by a method such as vapor deposition. Specifically, Inzos 5n
OzWI etc. are mentioned. The electrodes may be patterned by a method such as etching. When the electrode is patterned, the substrate is exposed where the electrode is removed.
本発明の液晶素子では、上記の電極付き基板の電極側の
表面が紫外光照射処理されている。In the liquid crystal element of the present invention, the electrode-side surface of the electrode-attached substrate is subjected to ultraviolet light irradiation treatment.
紫外光照射処理は、電極付き基板の電極側の表面に紫外

スが必要であったり、空気中の酸素による紫外光の吸収
を避けるだめのガス置換や真空引きが必要であったりす
るため、コスト高となって実用的でない。The ultraviolet light irradiation treatment is performed by irradiating the electrode-side surface of the electrode-equipped substrate with ultraviolet light. The wavelength of the ultraviolet light to be irradiated is 1
80-400 nm is preferred. Ultraviolet light with a longer wavelength than this may reduce the treatment effect. Furthermore, for ultraviolet light with a shorter wavelength, the window of the light source may require a special glass material, or gas replacement or evacuation may be necessary to avoid absorption of ultraviolet light by oxygen in the air. Therefore, the cost is high and it is not practical.
紫外光の出力は50〜400W程度が好ましい。The output of the ultraviolet light is preferably about 50 to 400W.
また、紫外光の照射時間は30〜180秒程度が好まし
い。出力や照射時間がこれ以下では、照射の効果が薄く
なることがあり、これ以上では、基板等を損傷するおそ
れがある。Moreover, the irradiation time of ultraviolet light is preferably about 30 to 180 seconds. If the output or irradiation time is less than this, the effect of irradiation may be weakened, and if it is more than this, there is a risk of damaging the substrate and the like.

、しきい値特性等が向上する。It is thought that the surface of the electrode-attached substrate is cleaned and activated by such ultraviolet light irradiation treatment. In other words, in the part where the electrode is, dirt such as organic matter adhering to the electrode surface is removed by ultraviolet light, making it clean, and in the part where the electrode is removed by etching etc. and the substrate is exposed, the surface of the board is It is thought that the molecular structure of the substrate surface changes and becomes activated due to the energy of the ultraviolet light. These effects improve the interfacial interaction between the liquid crystal material and the substrate with electrodes, and improve the contrast ratio, threshold characteristics, etc. of the liquid crystal element.
