Abstract:
An IPS type liquid crystal display device superior in mass productivity and improved in image quality with a higher contrast ratio by decreasing the occurrence of defective display due to the disorder of the initial liquid crystal alignment by the liquid orientation control film and realizing stable alignment of liquid crystals comprises: a pair of substrates, at least one which is transparent; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the pair of substrates; a group of electrodes formed on at least one of the pair of substrates to apply an electric field to the liquid crystal layer; plural active elements connected to the group of electrodes; and an orientation control film disposed on at least one of the pair of substrates, wherein said orientation control film is made of a photosensitive polyimide and a polyamide acid ester and is given orientation control ability by being irradiated with substantially linearly polarized light.
Abstract:
The present invention prevents the shaving of an alignment film caused by a columnar spacer in a liquid crystal display device of an IPS method using photo-alignment. A plinth higher than a pixel electrode is formed at a part where a columnar spacer formed over a counter substrate touches a TFT substrate. When an alignment film of a double-layered structure is applied over the pixel electrode and the plinth, the thickness of the alignment film over the plinth reduces by a leveling effect. When photo-alignment is applied in the state, a photodegraded upper alignment film over the plinth disappears and a lower alignment film having a high mechanical strength remains. As a result, it is possible to prevent the shaving of the alignment film.

Abstract:
The long residual image characteristic of a conventional photo-orientation film material is insufficient. A liquid crystal display device comprises substrates, a liquid crystal layer, an electrode group to apply an electric field to the liquid crystal layer, and orientation control films placed between the substrates and the liquid crystal layer. Each of the orientation control films comprises a polyimide and a polyimide precursor, as materials of the polyimide and the polyimide precursor, at least one kind of first diamines, at least one kind of second diamines, and a cyclobutane tetracarboxylic dianhydride derivative are contained, and an orientation restraining force is granted by the irradiation of nearly linearly polarized light.
Abstract:
Various layer separation states are generated by the combination of a polyamide acid ester and a polyamide acid and a long residual image characteristic cannot be further improved merely by combining them. A liquid crystal display device comprises a substrate, a liquid crystal layer, and an orientation film placed between the substrate and the liquid crystal layer. The orientation film comprises a polyimide precursor having two or more components. In the polyimide precursor, an octanol-water partition coefficient is defined as log P and the difference in log P (Δ log P) between the two components having most distant log Ps is set so as to fall within a prescribed range.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device includes first and second substrates, at least one of which is transparent, a liquid crystal layer which is disposed between the first and second substrates, a pixel electrode and a common electrode which are formed on one of the first and second substrates and which apply an electric field to the liquid crystal layer, a plurality of active elements which is connected to the pixel electrode and the common electrode, an alignment film which is disposed on at least one of the first and second substrates and has one surface contacting the liquid crystal layer, and an underlying layer which is disposed on at least one of the first and second substrates and contacts the other surface of the alignment film. The pixel electrode is laminated on the common electrode having a plane shape through an isolation film.
