Abstract

PURPOSE:To seal two substrates with high adhesive strength without any spread of sealing layers, by forming sealing layers of adhesives to be cured by ultraviolet-ray irradiation on those two substrates respectively, and then previously curing one sealing layer and using as a spacer. CONSTITUTION:On one substrate 1, a sealing layer 2 of an adhesive to be cured by ultraviolet-ray irradiation is formed by screen printing. Said adhesive is cured by ultraviolet-ray (UV) irradiation to complete adhesion to the substrate, and the sealing layer 2 serves as a spacer for deciding on the gap of liquid-crystal cells. On the other substrate 1', another sealing layer 2' is formed at the outside of the sealing layer 2. Those two substrates are pressed against each other to be superposed while the gap between both substrates is nearly equal to the thickness of the sealing layer 2 of one substrate 1. In this state, the UV irradiation is carried out to cure the sealing layer 2', thus obtaining a liquid-crystal sealed container.

Conventionally, the sealing layer of a so-called organic sealed cell has been formed only on one of two substrates. Generally, when bonding objects with an organic adhesive, it is best to apply the organic adhesive to each of the two objects so that the bonding occurs between the organic adhesives. be. However, when forming a liquid crystal cell, if adhesive is applied to both of the two substrates, the gap between the substrates tends to become large after the substrates are stacked and pressed to form the liquid crystal cell. In addition, it is not actually carried out because the width of the sealing layer tends to be wide.For this reason, general organic sealed cells that are formed by applying adhesive to only one substrate are not suitable for humidity tests, etc. The two substrates are more likely to separate than K, and moreover, separation often occurs from the interface between the adhesive and the substrate to which no adhesive was first applied.

On the other hand, among the methods for manufacturing inorganic i-cells, there is a method in which a sealant (glass frit) is applied to both of the two substrates and then the substrates are stacked on top of each other. There are two methods: one is to immediately stack the two substrates with a sealant applied to them, and the other is to temporarily bake the sealant on only one side of the substrate and then stack them.

However, one thing that all methods have in common is that the gap between the sealing liquid crystal cells on both substrates cannot be controlled at the stage of firing the substrates, and as a result of pressure firing, the gap becomes smaller than the predetermined gap. Generally, in order to prevent this, a spacer such as glass beads is mixed into the sealing material and the spacer is inserted into a predetermined gap, but this increases the cost.

In the present invention, first, one substrate 1 is made of an ultraviolet curable adhesive (hereinafter referred to as UV adhesive) by screen printing.
A sealing layer 2 is formed. At this time, sealing layer 2
is printed outward from the parting line 4 indicating the boundary of the display area of the liquid crystal cell. The thickness of the sealing layer 2 is formed to be about 5 to 15 μm, which is equal to the gap between the liquid crystal cells, and the thickness is controlled by selecting the meshes of the two screens. The relationship between the mesh of the screen and the thickness of the printed sealing layer 2 is as shown in FIG. 8, and this relationship is not affected by the viscosity of the UV adhesive forming the sealing layer 2.

Since the printing is performed so as to be located one distance outward from the sealing layer 2 of one substrate 1, the arrangement as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is not used, that is, the sealing layer 2 of the other substrate 1' The width (B) where ' overlaps with the sealing layer 2' of one substrate 1 is:
It is 2/3 or less of the width (A) of the sealing layer 2 itself of one of the substrates.

When the two substrates stacked in this way are pressed, the seventh
The result will be as shown in the figure. At this time, the sealing layer 2 of the other substrate 1 is still in an uncured state, so it flows as pressure is applied, causing the sealing layer 2C of one substrate 1 to protrude outward, and eventually the gap between the side substrates widens. The overlapping ends in a state where the thickness is approximately equal to the thickness of the sealing layer 2 of one of the substrates 1. This is because the sealing layer 2 is already hardened by UV irradiation and functions as a spacer.

Regarding the sealing of the liquid crystal cell obtained in this way, the two substrates 1.1' are finally bonded with each having a sealing layer 2.2, and the bonding is between the adhesives. The sealing strength is extremely strong, and unlike the conventional case where a sealing layer is printed on only one substrate, there is no possibility that the sealing layer will peel off on the side of the substrate on which it is not printed.
