Embodiment approach 1

[0063] First, refer to Figure 9 , to describe a liquid crystal display device and a method of manufacturing the same according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0064] In general, a liquid crystal display panel has a TFT substrate formed with switching devices such as TFTs arranged in a matrix method, and a CF substrate formed with black matrices, color filters (CF), and the like. Alignment-treated alignment films are formed on the facing surfaces of these substrates. A predetermined gap is defined between the two substrates by arranging insulating spacers such as polymer beads or silica beads of a predetermined shape, or insulating posts of acrylic resin or the like. Such a liquid crystal display panel displays an image by controlling an alignment direction of liquid crystals enclosed in gaps by means of an electric field generated by electrodes formed on at least one substrate.

[0065] In order to manufacture a high-quality liquid crystal disp...

Embodiment approach 2

[0081] refer to Figure 10 , a liquid crystal display device and a method of manufacturing the same according to the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0082] Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of a process of manufacturing a liquid crystal display panel according to the present exemplary embodiment, showing an alignment film coating step to a plasma ashing step.

[0083] In the alignment film coating step, in the same manner as in the first exemplary embodiment, printing is performed using an alignment plate to apply an alignment material to the surfaces of the TFT substrate and the CF substrate, thereby giving the display area and the display area The outer area provides an alignment film ( Figure 10 Step A) in .

[0084] In the subsequent temporary drying step of the alignment film, both the display area and the area outside the display area were homogenized at 80°C ( Figure 10 Step B) in .

[0085] In the next alignment film bak...

Embodiment approach 3

[0098] A liquid crystal display device and a manufacturing method thereof according to a third exemplary embodiment of the present invention are described.

[0099] In the same manner as in the above-described second exemplary embodiment, the processes from the application of the alignment film to the baking of the alignment film are performed to provide a desired alignment film in the display area and the area outside the display area.

[0100] In the subsequent plasma ashing step, the surface of each substrate was covered with a mask except for the area outside the display area to allow the alignment film in the area outside the display area to be partially ashed. The entire substrate surface is directly irradiated with plasma by means of a fixed plasma head to form minute holes in the alignment film only in the area outside the display area. Thus, a porous alignment film was formed.

[0101] After that, in the rubbing step, rubbing was performed on the alignment film surface...

Abstract

In applying an alignment material to surfaces of a CF substrate and a TFT substrate, which form a liquid crystal panel, to form alignment films, an alignment film is formed so as to cover at least a display region in which pixels are arranged in a matrix fashion, while a porous alignment film, which has a porous film structure with a higher impurity adsorptive property than the former alignment film, is formed in a region outside the former alignment film, for example, in a region intermediate the display region and a seal region surrounded by a sealing material, whereby the porous alignment film formed in the region outside the display region can efficiently adsorb contaminants, such as residual impurity ions produced from the sealing material and uncured components of the sealing material, to prevent the contaminants from penetrating into the display region and being fixed therein.

Description

[0001] This application is based on and claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-105717 filed on April 13, 2007 and Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-049315 filed on February 29, 2008, which are incorporated by reference Their entire contents are incorporated here. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device and a method for manufacturing the liquid crystal display device. Specifically, the present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device characterized by an alignment film formed on a surface of a substrate, and a method of manufacturing the liquid crystal display device. Background technique [0003] In view of their advantages including slimness, light weight, and low power consumption, liquid crystal display devices are widely used as display devices for AV equipment and OA equipment. Such a liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal panel in which liquid crystal is sandwiched betw...
