LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display element capable of easily improving response characteristics without using a large apparatus is provided. After alignment films made of a polymer compound including a crosslinkable functional group as a side chain and a bulky skeleton such as an adamantane skeleton are formed in a TFT substrate and a CF substrate, the alignment films are arranged to face each other, and a liquid crystal layer 40 including liquid crystal molecules is sealed between the alignment films, and then, in a state where the liquid crystal molecules are aligned to allow long-axis directions thereof to be oblique with respect to a substrate surface, the polymer compound in the alignment films is reacted to form a polymer compound including a cross-linked structure, and predetermined pretilts are provided to liquid crystal molecules placed in proximity to the alignment films.

主权项

1. A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display comprising:
a step of forming, on one of a pair of substrates, a first alignment film made of a polymer compound including a crosslinkable functional group as a side chain and including, in a main chain, one or more kinds of skeletons represented by expressions (1) to (11); a step of forming a second alignment film on the other of the pair of substrates; a step of arranging the pair of substrates with the first alignment film and the second alignment film facing each other, and sealing a liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal molecules between the first alignment film and the second alignment film; and a step of cross-linking a side chain of the polymer compound after sealing the liquid crystal layer, thereby providing a pretilt to liquid crystal molecules.
