Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display (LCD) and, more particularly, to a liquid crystal display with liquid crystal (LC) material sealed between two substrates using a one drop fill (ODF) process.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Liquid crystal display typically comprises two glass substrates oppositely positioned and a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween. Specifically, the glass substrates are assembled by the following steps. First, an adhesive seal material is applied, usually by either silkscreening or screen printing. An opening is left in the seal for liquid crystal (LC) material injection in the subsequent process. After the adhesive is applied, spacers are provided on one of the substrates to maintain a precise cell gap (between 3-10 micrometers) between the two substrates. Typically, the spacers are formed by spraying glass or plastic beads on one of the substrates or by using resin to fabricate photo-spacers onto one of the substrates via the photolithography process. The substrates are then aligned and laminated by heat and pressure to complete the cross-linking of the polymer. After the assembling process is completed, the assembled glass substrates are cut into individual LCD cells. After the liquid crystal material is injected into the LCD cell by vacuum injection (vacuum injection method), the opening that was left open for this injection is sealed.
- Conventionally, the opening sealing process is done in a chamber under pressure in order to squeeze the excess liquid crystal material from the LCD cell and bring the sealing resin into the opening of the LCD. Specifically, increasing the air pressure in the chamber creates a pressing force against the outer surfaces of the LCD cell, and the excess liquid crystal material will be forced out of the opening of the LCD before the sealing resin is applied. Furthermore, the pressed LCD cell will gradually restores its original shape when the chamber is brought back to atmospheric pressure; and hence, the sealing resin will be sucked into the opening of the LCD.
- The one drop fill (ODF) process generally comprises the steps of applying an adhesive onto the entire periphery of the first substrate, dropping the liquid crystal material to the first substrate, superposing the second substrate upon the first substrate, and curing the adhesive.
- In comparison with vacuum injection method used widely in manufacturing liquid crystal displays, the ODF process significantly reduce costs for manufacturing liquid crystal displays and improve productivity on a mass production basis because, firstly, it significantly reduces the amount of LC material to be used and, secondly, it decreases the time required for injecting LC material. Therefore, a strong demand exists for the use of the ODF process in manufacturing liquid crystal displays.
- According to the ODF process, a predetermined quantity of LC material is dispensed on a substrate using a liquid crystal dispenser. However, a problem can arise in that the quantity of the LC material in the LCD cell can become excessive or insufficient because of the dispensing accuracy of the dispenser and variation of the cell gap defined between the substrates. A shortage of the quantity of the LC material in the LCD cell results in so-called voids observed in the LCD cell. Gravity mura (wide-area pixel defect) can be observed when the quantity of the LC material in the LCD cell is excessive. Any liquid crystal display having such problems of voids or gravity mura is regarded as defective.
- Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display with liquid crystal (LC) material sealed between two substrates using a one drop fill (ODF) process which allows a larger LC dispensing process window than conventional methods.
- The basic steps of the “one drop fill” method are described below. First, an adhesive such as a UV curable sealant is formed in a peripheral region of one substrate, and the LC material is dropped onto the other substrate. With the two substrates held spaced apart, the substrates are placed within a vacuum chamber. When the substrates are still under atmospheric pressure, the lateral positions of the two substrates are mutually aligned. The air pressure within the vacuum chamber is then reduced, and under the condition of low pressure, the two substrates are brought together so that one substrate is superposed upon the other substrate. Thereafter, the sealant is cured by application of a suitable radiation such as a ultra-violet light.
- To achieve the above listed and other objects, the adhesive is cured in a chamber maintained at greater-than-atmospheric pressure. Increasing the air pressure in the chamber creates a pressing force against the outer surfaces of the pair of substrates such that one of the substrates is concave toward the other substrate in the finished liquid crystal display. Therefore, even if the dispensed LC material is unable to totally fill the space between the two substrates after one substrate is superposed upon the other substrate, the expected voids can be eliminated when the adhesive is cured with the substrates disposed in a greater-than-atmospheric pressure.
- According to one aspect of the present invention, the method further comprises a step of heating the two substrates during the curing process of the adhesive such that thermoplastic spacers provided between the two substrates are deformed to have different profiles in the finished liquid crystal display.
- Other objects, advantages, and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
-
FIGS. 1-2 illustrate, in cross-sectional view, the major steps of manufacturing a liquid crystal display according to one embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 3 illustrate, in cross-sectional view, the major steps of manufacturing a liquid crystal display according to another embodiment of the present invention. - The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display with liquid crystal (LC) material sealed between two substrates using a one drop fill (ODF) process. One substrate is typically provided with a plurality of scan bus lines formed parallel to one another, a plurality of data bus lines formed parallel to one another vertically to the scan bus lines, and TFTs and pixel electrodes formed like a matrix at intersections between the scan bus lines and data bus lines. The other substrate is typically provided with a light-shielding matrix (such as black matrix BM), a plurality of color filters for displaying colors and a transparent electrode such as an ITO electrode as a common electrode. As illustrated in
FIG. 1 ,numerals substrates numerals substrate 100 or thesubstrate 110 with color filters provided thereon, and patterning the resin layer via a photolithography process. Since the resin layer is patterned by photolithography, the spacers can be provided selectively on a non-aperture area in TFT-LCDs thereby improving the aperture ratio. - Methods for manufacturing LCDs according to one embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to
FIGS. 1-2 . First, an adhesive 130 is applied onto one of thesubstrates inner surfaces adhesive 130 may be pre-cured before proceeding to subsequent steps. After the LC material is dropped onto the other substrate, thesubstrates chamber 200. Specifically, thesubstrate 110 is set upon astage 210, and then thesubstrate 120 is positioned above and spaced apart from thesubstrate 110 with theinner surfaces chamber 200, and, when a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure has been reached the twosubstrates FIG. 1 ). The air pressure within thechamber 200 is then restored to atmospheric pressure. The LC material thereby spreads to fill the space between the twosubstrates adhesive 130. At this time, as shown inFIG. 1 , all of thespacers substrates - Thereafter, the air pressure in the chamber is increased by moving a transparent plate such as a
quartz plate 220 toward the twosubstrates UV light source 230 through thequartz plate 220 into the adhesive 130. It is noted that increasing the air pressure in thechamber 200 creates a pressing force against theouter surfaces substrates FIG. 2 ) thereby obtaining a finished liquid crystal display. Alternatively, as shown inFIG. 3 , the pressing force created by the air pressure may cause only thesubstrate 100 to be concave toward thesubstrate 110. - It is noted that the spacers used in the present invention may be formed from a thermoplastic material, and a heating operation may be conducted during the curing process of the adhesive such that the thermoplastic spacers such as
spacers FIG. 2 orFIG. 3 ) in the finished liquid crystal display. - The inventor has found during researches of conventional “one drop fill” methods that it is necessary to dispense very accurate quantity of LC material on the substrate. When the dispensed quantity of the LC material is lower than a minimum allowable dispensing quantity (hereinafter referred to as “Vmin”), the dispensed LC material is unable to totally fill the space between the two substrates, and a negative pressure may exist between the substrates of the finished liquid crystal display. As a result, voids are prone to form in the LC layer of the finished display panel. When the dispensed quantity of the LC material exceeds a maximum allowable dispensing quantity (hereinafter referred to as “Vmax”), gravity mura (wide-area pixel defect) is easily observed in a final inspection procedure wherein the finished liquid crystal display is placed at a right angle with respect to the level and heated. Mura defects are defined as areas of illumination (pixels on the substrate) which are different, or anomalous, from the neighborhood surrounding the defect, also termed Patterned Brightness Non-Uniformity (BNU). Any liquid crystal display having such problems of voids or gravity mura is regarded as defective. It is therefore a feature of conventional “one drop fill” methods that the dispensed quantity of the LC material must be accurately controlled within a very narrow process window defined by Vmax and Vmin. Furthermore, when conventional “one drop fill” methods are used to manufacture large-size LCD panels, the narrow dispensing process window associated with conventional “one drop fill” methods is especially apparent.
- In contrast, the aforementioned methods of the present invention can achieve the same result as conventional methods even if the dispensed quantity of the LC material is lower than Vmin defined above, i.e., the aforementioned methods of the present invention allows a larger process window than the conventional methods. In the methods of the present invention, an extra empty space may still exist after one substrate is superposed upon the other substrate because the dispensed LC material is not enough to totally fill the space between the substrates. However, the extra empty space can be eliminated when the adhesive is cured with the substrates disposed in a greater-than-atmospheric pressure such that no voids will be formed in the LC layer of the finished display panel. This is because the greater-than-atmospheric pressure in the chamber creates a pressing force against the outer surfaces of the substrates such that each of the substrates is concave toward the other substrate thereby allowing the extra empty space to be eliminated.
- Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
