FUNCTIONAL FILM AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME, AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY ELEMENT USING FUNCTIONAL FILM AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a functional film containing a silane compound as a film component and excellent in water repellency, durability and heat resistance and a method of manufacturing the same, and a liquid crystal display element using the functional film and a method of manufacturing the same. SOLUTION: A substrate layer solution containing a hydrolyzable compound represented by X-(SiOX2)n-SiX3 (wherein X is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of halogen, an alkoxy group and an isocyanate group and (n) is an integer of a 0 or more) is applied to the surface of a base material and dried at below 300 deg.C to form a substrate layer, a solution containing a silane compound is applied to the surface of the substrate layer to chemically adsorb silane compound molecules on the base material, and the coated base material is baked at 300 deg.C or higher to form a functional film. By this constitution, the water repellency, durability and heat resistance of the functional film comprising the silane compound used for the purpose of modifying the surface properties of the functional film can be enhanced.
