    摘要: An alignment layer for use in liquid crystals including a macromolecular material deposited on a glass substrate, the macromolecular material composed of main molecular chains which are, on the average, aligned in a first direction. A series of parallel microgrooves are formed in the macromolecular material and aligned perpendicular to the first direction, each microgroove being separated by a ridge having a triangular cross-section, and each ridge having first and second sides meeting at an apex, wherein the first side has a shorter length than the second side. As a result, disclination does not occur and sufficient reliability against external forces and heat may be obtained. In addition, numerous methods are disclosed for forming the alignment layer.

    摘要: A plurality of reflectors respectively having the same rough reflecting surfaces are formed substantially simultaneously on a transparent substrate of a large area. A photosensitive resin film is formed on a surface of a transparent substrate. An embossing die having a rough working surface is pressed against a photosensitive resin part of the photosensitive resin film and the photosensitive resin part is irradiated with ultraviolet rays from below the transparent substrate to form a prehardened photosensitive resin part. Those steps are repeated to form a plurality of prehardened, embossed photosensitive resin parts on the transparent substrate, and then parts not prehardened of the photosensitive resin film are removed by etching. The prehardened, embossed photosensitive resin parts are heated for hardening, and a metal reflecting film is formed on the hardened embossed photosensitive resin parts to complete a plurality of reflectors.

    摘要: An orientation film for a liquid crystal display. The film is formed on a substrate and has a first irregular form repeated in a first direction and a second irregular form repeated in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. The second irregular form has a longer pitch than the pitch of the first irregular form. The profile of the second irregular form in any plane perpendicular to the first direction has a portion inclined with respect to the substrate. The pretilt angle of the orientation film is high. The patterns may be irregular and asymmetric, which may be ridges separated by a continuous groove. The orientation may be formed by using a first mold having one of the patterns, and a second mold with a second pattern, or first and second holographic exposed layers. The orientation layer may be a liquid crystal polymer which is formed by using a heated stamper to form a pattern in a high polymer liquid crystal while applying a voltage.

    摘要: A brighter and whiter reflector provides high reflection efficiency over a wide range of angles. An indenting tool is pressed against the surface of a matrix base material; the pressing operation is repeated while changing the position of the indenting tool on the surface of the base material for the matrix to successively form many pits, the inner surfaces of which are shaped like partial spheres, on the mold surface of the matrix base material so as to provide it as the matrix for forming the reflector. Then, a transfer mold having a mold surface which has a reversed pattern of the pits and projections of the mold surface of the matrix is made, and the mold surface of the transfer mold is transferred to the surface of the base material for the reflector to provide a reflector (1). Pits (4) of the reflector (1) are formed so that the depths the pits (4) range from 0.1 &mgr;m to 3 &mgr;m, the tilt angles of the inner surfaces of the pits (4) are distributed in the range of −18 degrees to +18 degrees, and the pitches between adjoining pits (4) range from 5 &mgr;m to 50 &mgr;m. A reflection type liquid crystal display device in accordance with the present invention is equipped with the reflector (1).

    摘要: A liquid crystal display having heat resistance, a sufficiently large pretilt angle, and capable of preventing generation of domains and improving the reliability thereof is disclosed. Each alignment layer has, on the surfaces thereof, roof-like concave and convex rows, formed by repeatedly, in a first direction, forming convex portions each consisting of a longer side portion and a shorter side portion, and valley-like concave and convex rows having the height that is lower than that of the roof-like concave and convex rows and formed in the same direction as that of the roof-like concave and convex rows in such a manner that the roof-like concave and convex rows and the valley-like concave and convex rows are adjacently and alternately formed. Thus, concaves and convexes having a unit length of repetition, that is shorter than a unit length of repetition of the concaves and convexes formed in the first direction, are formed in a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction. Furthermore, the alignment layer is made of a compound having main chains, that are stable with respect to UV light, and side chains, each of which has an aliphatic ringing group to which aromatic groups are bonded, and which cross-link between the main chains, wherein the aromatic groups are aligned substantially in the first direction.
