Embodiment Construction

[0073] Below, refer to the attached Figure 1 Embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0074] figure 1 It is a configuration diagram of the polarized light irradiation device according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0075] The polarized light irradiation device includes a light source unit 10 , a parallel light forming unit 20 and a polarized light forming unit 30 . The light source unit 10 includes an ultraviolet lamp 12, a condenser lens 14, and the like. The polarized light forming unit 30 includes a plate-type polarizing beam splitter 32 , splits the ultraviolet light emitted from the parallel light forming unit 20 into a p-polarized light component and an s-polarized light component, and emits the s-polarized light component as an irradiation beam. In addition, in the specification, "ultraviolet light" means light having a wavelength of 390 nm or less, and includes deep ultraviolet light.

[0076] The parallel light forming part 2...

Abstract

The invention provides a polarized light irradiating device capable of achieving high polarized light extinction ratio, uniform polarized light orientation, and large irradiating area. The polarized light irradiating device comprises a light source portion emitting ultraviolet light, a parallel light forming portion paralleling the ultraviolet light, and a polarized light forming portion. The polarized light forming portion comprises a plate polarizing beam splitter of a dielectric substance multilayer film disposed on a first face of a transparent board. In order to reflect s polarized light ingredient and transmit p polarized light ingredient in the ultraviolet light incident to the surface of the dielectric substance multilayer film in an inclined manner from the parallel light forming portion, the split s polarized light ingredient is emitted out as an irradiating beam.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a polarized light irradiation device. Background technique [0002] Alignment films used in liquid crystal panels can be photo-aligned by irradiating linearly polarized light at an ultraviolet wavelength to the surface of a film such as polyimide resin. [0003] With the increase in the definition and size of liquid crystal panels, a high polarization extinction ratio, uniform polarization orientation, and large area of ​​the irradiation area are required for polarized light irradiation devices for photoalignment films. [0004] For example, in order to obtain transmitted light having a polarization extinction ratio of 100:1 or more using a polarizer including a transparent plate with a refractive index of 1.6, the number of laminated transparent plates must be 200 or more, resulting in a large device. [0005] Furthermore, in order to obtain linearly polarized light along the longitudinal direction of th...
