LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE COMPRISING AN ANCHORING LAYER

摘要

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device comprising an orienting layer (5), the method comprising the steps of forming the orienting layer (5) on the substrate (1), adding a monomer to a liquid crystalline material (7) and forming an anchoring network (10) in a layer of the liquid crystalline material near the orienting layer from mixture of a photo-initiator and the monomer, the monomer being cured in the anchoring network. The anchoring network improves the anchoring of the liquid crystalline material to the orienting layers, so that the anchoring network keeps the liquid crystalline molecules in place in case the surface of the orienting layers is damaged
