The liquid crystal aligning agent is filtered through a 1.0 μm filter, spin-coated on a glass substrate with a transparent electrode, dried on an 80 ° C. hot plate for 5 minutes, and then baked at 230 ° C. for 20 minutes. A 100 nm polyimide film was obtained. This polyimide film was rubbed once with a rayon cloth (roll diameter 120 mm, rotation speed 1000 rpm, moving speed 20 mm / sec, pushing amount 0.4 mm). The surface of the film was observed using a confocal laser microscope, and was scraped at a magnification of 100 times to observe the presence of scraps and the presence of scratches. The evaluation was defined as “good” when the scraped scraps and scratches were hardly seen, and defined as “bad” when the scraped scraps and rubbing scratches were observed.
初めに電極付きの基板を準備した。基板は、30mm×35mmの大きさで、厚さが0.7mmのガラス基板である。基板上には第1層目として対向電極を構成する、ベタ状のパターンを備えたIZO電極が形成されている。第1層目の対向電極の上には第2層目として、CVD法により成膜されたSiN(窒化珪素)膜が形成されている。第2層目のSiN膜の膜厚は500nmであり、層間絶縁膜として機能する。第2層目のSiN膜の上には、第3層目としてIZO膜をパターニングして形成された櫛歯状の画素電極が配置され、第1画素および第2画素の2つの画素を形成している。各画素のサイズは、縦10mmで横約5mmである。このとき、第1層目の対向電極と第3層目の画素電極とは、第2層目のSiN膜の作用により電気的に絶縁されている。 <Production of liquid crystal display element>
First, a substrate with electrodes was prepared. The substrate is a glass substrate having a size of 30 mm × 35 mm and a thickness of 0.7 mm. On the substrate, an IZO electrode having a solid pattern constituting a counter electrode as a first layer is formed. On the counter electrode of the first layer, a SiN (silicon nitride) film formed by the CVD method is formed as the second layer. The second layer SiN film has a thickness of 500 nm and functions as an interlayer insulating film. On the second SiN film, a comb-like pixel electrode formed by patterning an IZO film as the third layer is arranged to form two pixels, a first pixel and a second pixel. ing. The size of each pixel is 10 mm long and about 5 mm wide. At this time, the first-layer counter electrode and the third-layer pixel electrode are electrically insulated by the action of the second-layer SiN film.
次に、得られた液晶配向剤を1.0μmのフィルターで濾過した後、準備された上記電極付き基板と対向基板として裏面にITO膜が成膜されており、かつ高さ4μmの柱状のスペーサーを有するガラス基板のそれぞれにスピンコートした。次いで、80℃のホットプレート上で5分間乾燥後、230℃で20分間焼成して膜厚60nmの塗膜として、各基板上にポリイミド膜を得た。このポリイミド膜上を、所定のラビング方向で、レーヨン布によりラビング(ロール径120mm、回転数500rpm、移動速度30mm/sec、押し込み量0.3mm)した後、純水中にて1分間超音波照射を行い、80℃で10分間乾燥した。 When the first region and the second region of each pixel are compared, the formation directions of the electrode elements of the pixel electrodes constituting them are different. That is, when the rubbing direction of the liquid crystal alignment film described later is used as a reference, the electrode element of the pixel electrode is formed to form an angle of + 10 ° (clockwise) in the first region of the pixel, and the pixel in the second region of the pixel. The electrode elements of the electrode are formed so as to form an angle of −10 ° (clockwise). That is, in the first region and the second region of each pixel, the directions of the rotation operation (in-plane switching) of the liquid crystal induced by the voltage application between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode are mutually in the substrate plane. It is comprised so that it may become a reverse direction.
Next, after the obtained liquid crystal aligning agent is filtered through a 1.0 μm filter, an ITO film is formed on the back surface as the prepared substrate with electrodes and a counter substrate, and a columnar spacer having a height of 4 μm. Each of the glass substrates having was spin-coated. Subsequently, after drying for 5 minutes on an 80 degreeC hotplate, it baked at 230 degreeC for 20 minutes, and obtained the polyimide film on each board | substrate as a 60 nm-thick coating film. The polyimide film is rubbed with a rayon cloth in a predetermined rubbing direction (roll diameter 120 mm, rotation speed 500 rpm, moving speed 30 mm / sec, pushing amount 0.3 mm), and then irradiated with ultrasonic waves in pure water for 1 minute. And dried at 80 ° C. for 10 minutes.

The afterimage was evaluated using the following optical system and the like. The prepared liquid crystal cell is installed between two polarizing plates arranged so that the polarization axes are orthogonal to each other, and the LED backlight is turned on with no voltage applied, so that the brightness of transmitted light is minimized. The arrangement angle of the liquid crystal cell was adjusted.
Next, a VT curve (voltage-transmittance curve) was measured while applying an AC voltage with a frequency of 30 Hz to the liquid crystal cell, and an AC voltage with a relative transmittance of 23% was calculated as a drive voltage.
評価は、直流電圧の印加を開始した時点から60分間が経過するまでに、相対透過率が30%以下に低下した場合に、「良好」と定義して評価を行った。相対透過率が30%以下に低下するまでに60分間以上を要した場合には、「不良」と定義して評価した。
そして、上述した方法に従う残像評価は、液晶セルの温度が23℃の状態の温度条件下で行った。 In the afterimage evaluation, a DC voltage of 1 V was applied at the same time while driving the liquid crystal cell by applying an AC voltage having a relative transmittance of 23% and a frequency of 30 Hz, and driving was performed for 60 minutes. Thereafter, the applied DC voltage value was set to 0 V, and only the application of the DC voltage was stopped, and in that state, driving was continued for another 30 minutes.
The evaluation was defined as “good” when the relative transmittance dropped to 30% or less by the time 60 minutes passed from the start of application of the DC voltage. When it took 60 minutes or more for the relative transmittance to drop to 30% or less, it was defined as “bad” and evaluated.

放置の後、液晶セルを偏光軸が直交するように配置された2枚の偏光板の間に設置し、電圧無印加の状態でバックライトを点灯させておき、透過光の輝度が最も小さくなるように液晶セルの配置角度を調整した。そして、第1画素の第2領域が最も暗くなる角度から第1領域が最も暗くなる角度まで液晶セルを回転させたときの回転角度を角度Δとして算出した。第2画素でも同様に、第2領域と第1領域とを比較し、同様の角度Δを算出した。そして、第1画素と第2画素の角度Δ値の平均値を液晶セルの角度Δとして算出した。この液晶セルの角度Δの値が0.2度を越える場合には、「不良」と定義し評価した。この液晶セルの角度Δの値が0.2度を越えない場合には、「良好」と定義し評価した。 <Stability evaluation of liquid crystal alignment>
Using this liquid crystal cell, an AC voltage of 10 VPP was applied at a frequency of 30 Hz in a constant temperature environment of 60 ° C. for 168 hours. Thereafter, the pixel electrode and the counter electrode of the liquid crystal cell were short-circuited and left as it was at room temperature for one day.
After leaving, the liquid crystal cell is placed between two polarizing plates arranged so that the polarization axes are orthogonal, and the backlight is turned on with no voltage applied so that the brightness of the transmitted light is minimized. The arrangement angle of the liquid crystal cell was adjusted. Then, the rotation angle when the liquid crystal cell was rotated from the angle at which the second region of the first pixel became darkest to the angle at which the first region became darkest was calculated as an angle Δ. Similarly, for the second pixel, the second area was compared with the first area, and a similar angle Δ was calculated. Then, the average value of the angle Δ values of the first pixel and the second pixel was calculated as the angle Δ of the liquid crystal cell. When the value of the angle Δ of the liquid crystal cell exceeded 0.2 degrees, it was defined as “defective” and evaluated. When the value of the angle Δ of the liquid crystal cell did not exceed 0.2 degrees, it was defined as “good” and evaluated.

フリッカーレベル(%)={フリッカー振幅/(2×z)}×100 In the measurement of the flicker level, the LED backlight that was turned on is temporarily turned off and left to block light for 72 hours, and then the LED backlight is turned on again. The frequency at which the relative transmittance becomes 23% at the same time when the backlight turns on is 30 Hz. The AC voltage was applied and the liquid crystal cell was driven for 60 minutes to track the flicker amplitude.
