Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate uneven orientation and to improve practicability by bringing liquid crystal substrates into contact with an a. DMOAP soln. in a dynamic state such as oscillating and stirring, washing the substrates by moving water and aerating the substrate in a heated steam vessel. CONSTITUTION:The liquid crystal substrates 1a, 1b are immersed into the aq. soln. of N, N-dimethyl-N-octadecyl-3-aminopropyl trimethoxyl chloride (abbreviated as DMOAP) in such a manner that the aq. soln. and the substrates 1a, 1b contact each other in the state of the moving water. The substrates are washed in the similar state of the moving water and are exposed to the heated steam having the higher activity than the activity of the water. The vertically oriented films are thereby thoroughly and securely formed to have the high durability and the excess DMOAP except the formed DMOAP is thoroughly removed, by which the uneven orientation is eliminated. The display grade is, therefore, improved as well and the practicability of the liquid crystal display element is improved.

As a specific means for solving the conventional problems described above, the present invention provides at least two substrates provided with a transparent electrode and a vertical alignment film, the transparent electrode and the vertical alignment film being on the inner side. In a liquid crystal display element in which a liquid crystal cell is formed by facing each other at regular intervals and sealing the peripheral portion with a sealing material, and a liquid crystal material is sealed within the liquid crystal cell, at least the display area of the liquid crystal display element is The entire surface including the transparent electrode is coated with an insulating film, and 0.1! ? / liter to 10 g/liter of aqueous solution under dynamic conditions such as shaking and stirring, followed by washing with moving water, followed by aeration in a heated steam tank, and subsequent drying and heat treatment. By providing a method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display element characterized by the following, the problems occurring in the conventional vertical alignment process described above are solved. K Embodiment Next, the present invention will be explained in detail based on an embodiment shown in FIG. What is indicated by the reference numeral 1a in the figure is a liquid crystal substrate, which is made of a suitable transparent material such as glass or resin, and one side is coated with transparent N N 2 a using indium oxide or tin oxide.
is formed. When vertical alignment processing is performed on this liquid crystal substrate 1a, a material such as silicon, gold oxide such as titanium, acrylic, epoxy, etc. is applied so as to cover the transparent electrode 2a at least in the display area on the side where the transparent electrode 2a is provided. A transparent insulating film 3a made of resin has a film thickness of 1
00 to 2000, and the insulating film 3a is subjected to the above treatment. Here, to explain the vertical alignment treatment according to the present invention, the liquid crystal substrate 1a treated as described above is DMOAP (N
, N-dimethyl-N-octadecyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxyl chloride). At this time, the concentration of DMOAP is suitably between 0.1 g/liter and 10 g/liter, and the liquid temperature The immersion time may be at least room temperature, and the appropriate immersion time is 10 seconds to 30 minutes. In particular, during this immersion, unlike conventional methods, the DMOAP aqueous solution must be stirred using an appropriate method such as a pump or a stirrer. The DM can be heated by a method such as generating a water flow or making the side of the liquid crystal substrate 1a S#7I.
It is important that the OAP aqueous solution and the liquid crystal substrate 1a are in contact with each other in a relatively moving state, and such a state can be easily achieved by other methods, such as a shower. The point is that the first gist of the present invention lies in the fact that the water is in contact with the water in the above-mentioned state of motion no matter what method is used. Next, washing with water is carried out, and this washing water is preferably pure water, the water temperature should be at least room temperature, and the washing time is suitably 2 seconds to 30 seconds. It is carried out in a state of moving water as before, and the method may be selected from any of the methods described above. After this water washing step, the liquid crystal substrate 1a is further placed in a steam tank filled with heated steam of pure water at 70 to 80° C. for aeration. By aerating the water vapor in this way, the activity of the water vapor is higher than that of water, so that the DMO remaining on the surface of the liquid crystal substrate 1a is removed.
The redundant AP can be completely removed, which is the second gist of the present invention. After the above treatment, the liquid crystal substrate 1a is subjected to heat treatment at 80° C. to 200° C. for 10 minutes to 1 hour to form a vertical alignment film 4 according to the method of the present invention.
a is formed, and the thickness of the vertical alignment film 4a at this time is one molecule to several molecules. The liquid crystal substrate, which has been vertically aligned by the method of the present invention described above, was prepared by the inventor at a temperature of 60°C and a humidity of 95°C.
When a durability test was conducted under exactly the same conditions as the conventional method, the conventional method completely lost its vertical alignment property after 240 hours, whereas the method of the present invention Even after 1000 hours had passed, the vertical alignment characteristics were completely normal, and the display was performed normally without any problematic alignment spots, and the Urakashi power was only doubled. It was recognized that there were no problems in practical use, and the effects of the present invention were recognized as W. Although the above explanation was made regarding one liquid crystal substrate 1a,
The other liquid crystal substrate 1bf: The vertical alignment process is performed to form the vertical alignment film 4b in the same manner as described above, so the explanation will be omitted. Each of the liquid crystal substrates 1a and 1b on which the vertical alignment films 4a and 4b are formed as described above has the vertical alignment films 4a and 4b formed thereon.
A and 4b are opposed to each other so that the inner surfaces thereof are formed, the peripheral portion is sealed with a sealing material 5, and a liquid crystal 6 is sealed inside to complete the intended liquid crystal display element. [Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, when the liquid crystal substrate is immersed in the DMO△P aqueous solution, the aqueous solution and the liquid crystal substrate come into contact with each other in a state of moving water, thereby completely preventing the formation of a vertical alignment film. By making it strong and durable, and washing it with water under the same moving water conditions as mentioned above, and aerating it with heated steam, which is more active than water, it is possible to make it more durable. By completely removing the excess DMOAP, the alignment unevenness that conventionally occurs is eliminated, and the display quality is improved, resulting in an excellent effect in improving the practicality of this type of liquid crystal display element.
