Description

一种配向膜、制备方法及其液晶面板 技术领域
本发明涉及液晶显示器技术领域,尤其是其液晶面板的改进结构。
背景技术
现有的TFT-LCD显示器中,VA(Vertical Alignment)显示以其宽视野角、高对比度和无需摩擦配向等优势,成为大尺寸电视的常用模式。VA主要分为MVA(Multi-domian Vertical Alignment)技术、PVA(Patterned Vertial Alignment)技术和CPA(Continuous pinwheel Alignment)。这些VA技术,都需要在CF(滤光片)侧设计Protrusion(凸起)或Slit(间隙),在增加成本的同时,还会降低显示屏的光透过率,为解决CF侧由点控或者线控实现到面控的问题,产生了新的VA显示技术,叫做聚合物稳定垂直配向(Polymer Stabilization Vertical Alignment,简称PSVA)技术。
PSVA技术最大的特点是在配向膜上生成一层可以使VA液晶形成预倾角的聚合物层。在图1(a)中所示,常见的PSVA液晶面板,包括两相对设置的基板,所述基板一般包括外层的玻璃板G以及贴于所述玻璃板内侧的电路板ITO;所述两基板之间设置带有光聚合单体(RM,Reactive Mesogen)的液晶LC。所述RM这是一种含有双键的趋光性单体。在UV光照射前,先在两基板上外加一个电压,使得液晶LC产生一个预倾角,如图1(b)所示,对应不同的畴,液晶分子的倾斜方向不同。用外加电压确定好预倾角度后,进行特定的UV光照射,这时,RM聚合成高分子网络结构RM’,吸引表层的液晶分子使之形成固定的预倾角(见图1(c));UV照射完成后,撤去外加电压,液晶LC分子依旧保持一定角度的预倾角(见图1(d))。
然而,RM在UV光进行照射的时候,会发生自由基聚合反应,如果UV光照度过高,会在反应初期会产生较高的初级自由基浓度,导致RM反应过快,形成表面bump(RM聚合后形成的***物)的粒径会增大,从而引起LC的配向不良,出现碎亮点。
目前,为解决这个问题,常用的方法是在LC中添加一定用量(通常0.1%-1%之间)阻聚剂,这类阻聚剂主要包含以下两种类型,一种是酚类,另一种是醌类,它们的阻聚机理如下式所示:
Figure PCTCN2015093099-appb-000001
上述两种阻聚剂的阻聚本质都是降低RM在初级反应时候的自由基浓度,减缓RM的反应速度,以减小bump的粒径,提高bump分散的均匀性。而在这两类阻聚剂中,无论何种类型的阻聚剂都会使自身的结构发生变化,双酚类会转变为二醌类,对苯二醌类会转变成含活性基团片段的对苯二醌。这种结构的变化都会引起LC物理特性参数的变化,如△n,△等,从而影响LC光学特性,降低面板品质。

有益效果:
本发明是指将一类具有阻聚性质的基团以短侧链的方式连接配向膜(PI) 上,一方面具有阻聚性质的基团能伸入至LC中与RM接触,起到减缓RM聚合速率、提高bump均匀性的作用,改善面板中碎亮点的问题;另一方面,由于该短支链是固定于所述配向膜当中的,使得阻聚物质并不需要直接添加到LC中,有效限制了阻聚物质在光照后结构改变对LC物理参数的影响,提升面板品质。

具体实施方式
下面,将结合附图对本发明的实施例作详细介绍。
本发明提供一种新型的具有阻聚性质的配向膜材料,这种配向膜具有如式1结构,其包括第一支链M、第二支链Q:
Figure PCTCN2015093099-appb-000007
其中,所述x、y分别代表所述第一支链M、第二支链Q的聚合度,一般而言所形成的配向膜分子量为5×103~5×105;x、y的范围可根据支链的分子量调整,将配向膜的分子量控制在合适范围内。
所述结构单元A代表为:
碳原子数不超过12个的环烷烃基、芳香烃基或稠环芳香烃基;或者是
碳原子数不超过12个的环烷基、芳香基或稠环芳香基,所述环烷基、芳香基或稠环芳香基上的一个或多个H原子被卤素原子、烷氧基或酯基所取代。。
所述第一支链M、第二支链Q的物质的量的比为1:0.1~1。为了保证第一支链M、第二支链Q与主链反应完全,所述主链所对应的单体的物质的量不小于所述第一支链M对应单体与第二支链Q对应单体的物质的量总和。
其中,所述第一支链M为含有苯环等具有刚性基团和长链烷基的侧链,其作用是使得LC在起始状态垂直取向排分子列,所述第一支链M的结构如式 3所示:
Figure PCTCN2015093099-appb-000008
其中,所述R2表示含碳原子数为2~10的烃基、或者是含有-O(CO)-、且碳原子数为2~10个的基团、或者是含有-N(CO)-、且碳原子数为2~10个的基团;所述基团E表示包括有2~5个五元环和/或六元环和/或苯环和/或稠环顺连而成的基团;R3表示含有碳原子数为1~12的烃基、或者是含有碳原子数为1~12,且H原子被-F、-Cl、-CF3、-CN、-NCS、-OCF3任意一个或多个基团取代的基团。
所述第二支链Q为含有阻聚性质结构的侧链,其包含硝基苯基或苯醌基的基团。第二支链Q是的结构如式2所示:
Figure PCTCN2015093099-appb-000009
所述R1表示含碳原子数为2~10的烃基、或者是含有-O(CO)-、且碳原子数为2~10个的基团、或者是含有-N(CO)-、且碳原子数为2~10个的基团;所述基团B表示苯醌基或硝基苯基等具有阻聚性质的基团。
例如,苯醌类如对二苯醌,见式4:
Figure PCTCN2015093099-appb-000010
硝基苯(见式5)或间三硝基苯(见式6),如:
Figure PCTCN2015093099-appb-000011
为了使得阻聚作用获得最佳的效果,一般将苯醌基或硝苯基连接到第二支链Q的末端,以最大程度与RM接触、减缓RM的反应速度,以减小bump 的粒径,提高bump分散的均匀性。
本发明的配向膜结构可示意如图2所示,在实际工作中,较长的第一支链M维持稳定的对LC的配向作用;较短的第二支链Q提供阻聚作用。第二支链Q一方面能伸入至LC中与RM接触,起到减缓RM聚合速率、提高bump均匀性的作用;另一方面,由于该第二支链是固定于所述配向膜当中的,使得阻聚物质并不需要直接添加到液晶中,有效限制了阻聚物质在光照转化后残留在LC中的量,使得LC的后续质量得到保证。
下面,将介绍一下本发明的配向膜的制备方法。
将一种二酐类单体p(聚合为本实施的主链之前的单体分子,列举如反应式7(a)所示)与第一支链M所对应的聚合前的单体分子n(一种二胺类单体,列举如反应式7(b)所示)、第二支链Q所对应的聚合前的单体分子m(一种二胺类单体,列举如反应式7(c)所示),第一支链M、第二支链Q分别所对应的单体分子物质的量之比为n:m=1:0.1~1,本实施例中二酐类单体的物质的量不小于n、m之和。
将所述第一支链M、第二支链Q分别所对应的单体分子溶解在有机溶剂N-甲基吡咯烷酮(NMP)溶液中,其中NMP占所述配向膜溶液的质量百分比为90~95%(所用溶剂还可以是N-乙基吡咯烷、γ-己内酯、二甲基亚砜和二氯甲烷的一种或多种),在室温下搅拌反应24小时,得到配向膜前驱体聚酰胺酸(PAA,如反应式7(d)所示);
然后再将所述PAA涂覆于一基板上,在180~230℃的条件下烘烤30min,使得溶剂充分挥发的同时,也使得PAA脱水成环,形成PI膜。
