A Study on Alignment Process of Ion Beam Irradiation to Improve LCD Productivity in Electric Installation Application
Tóm tắt
In this study, we fabricated TN-LCD using DuoPIGatron ion beam with obliquely irradiated polyimide film and TN-LCD using conventional rubbing method, and compared the electro-optic characteristics. In the TN-LCD using the rubbing method, a pretilt angle of 0.05° was obtained, and it was confirmed that an excellent pretilt angle of 1.13° also occurred in the TN-LCD irradiated with an ion beam. In addition, voltage-transmittance characteristic, which is a characteristic for realizing gray scale, was measured using the TN-LCD manufactured as described above. And, the response time characteristic was measured as a basic feature to compose a screen without motion blur. As a result, both the TN-LCD using the rubbing method and the TN-LCD manufactured by ion beam irradiation showed good voltage-transmittance characteristics in the driving voltage range of 1.5–3.5 V. In particular, as a result of measuring the response time characteristics, the light-on time was measured at 5.11 ms and the light-off time was measured at 10.98 ms. This is a very good result at the level of TN-LCD without chiral dopant, which can be evaluated as comparable with the result of the production level.
