Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of the Korean Application No. P2002-15886 filed on Mar. 23, 2002, which is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display (LCD) device, and more particularly, to an LCD device according to a liquid crystal dispensing method, and a method for manufacturing the same.
- 2. Discussion of the Related Art
- Generally, ultra thin sized flat panel displays having a display screen with a thickness of several centimeters or less, and in particular, flat panel LCD devices, are widely used in monitors for notebook computers, spacecraft, and aircraft because such LCD devices have low power consumption because of a low driving voltage and are easy to carry.
- Such LCD devices include a lower substrate, an upper substrate and a liquid crystal layer. A thin film transistor (TFT) and a pixel electrode are formed on the lower substrate. A light-shielding layer, a color filter layer and a common electrode are formed on the upper substrate, which is opposite to the lower substrate. Then, the liquid crystal layer is formed between the lower and upper substrates. In operation, an electric field is generated between the lower and upper substrates by the pixel and common electrodes, so that the alignment of molecules in the liquid crystal layer is driven by the electric field. Transmissivity of light through the liquid crystal layer is controlled with driving the liquid crystal layer, thereby displaying an image.
- In manufacturing this LCD device, a vacuum injection method based on capillary phenomenon and pressure difference has been conventionally used to form the liquid crystal layer between lower and upper substrates. However, such a vacuum injection method has a problem in that it takes a long time to inject the liquid crystal due to the large sized display area, thereby reducing the productivity.
- A liquid crystal dispensing method has been proposed to solve such a problem. A prior art method for manufacturing an LCD device based on the liquid crystal dispensing method will be explained with reference to FIG. 1A to FIG. 1D.
- As illustrated in FIG. 1A, a
lower substrate 1 and anupper substrate 3 are prepared. Although not shown in drawings, a plurality of gate and data lines are formed on thelower substrate 1. The gate lines cross the data lines to define pixel regions. A thin film transistor (TFT) is formed at each crossing point between the gate and data lines. A pixel electrode connected with the thin film transistor is formed in the pixel region. - A light-shielding layer is formed on the
upper substrate 3 to prevent light from leaking out from the gate and data lines and the thin film transistor. Color filter layers of red(R), green(G), and blue(B) are formed on the light-shielding layer, and a common electrode is formed on the color filter layers. An alignment layer is formed on at least one of thelower substrate 1 and theupper substrate 3 to initially align molecules in a liquid crystal to be interposed between the upper andlower substrates - As shown in FIG. 1B, main and
dummy sealants 7, 8 are formed on thelower substrate 1. Aliquid crystal 5 is dropped onto so that a liquid crystal layer is formed. A spacer (not shown) is spread onto theupper substrate 3 to maintain a cell gap. The main sealant 7 prevents the liquid crystal from flowing out, and bonds the lower and upper substrates to each other. Thedummy sealant 8 is formed in the circumference of the main sealant 7 to protect the main sealant 7. - In the liquid crystal dispensing method, the liquid crystal layer is formed on the substrates before they are attached in a sealant hardening process. If a heat-hardening type sealant is used for the sealant, the liquid crystal which flows during the heating may be contaminated by the sealant. For this reason, a UV-hardening type sealant is used for the sealant in the liquid crystal dispensing method.
- As shown in FIG. 1C, the
lower substrate 1 is attached to theupper substrate 3. - Referring to FIG. 1D, the main sealant7 is hardened by irradiating UV light onto the sealant with a UV irradiating device 9, thereby bonding the
lower substrate 1 to theupper substrate 3. - As shown in FIG. 1E, the lower and
upper substrates - FIG. 2 illustrates a perspective view for showing cutting steps of the substrate into the unit cells.
- As shown in FIG. 2, the bonded substrates are cut into unit cells. In the cutting step, after forming a cutting line (scribing process) on a surface of the bonded substrates by a scriber, such as a diamond pen with a hardness higher than glass of the substrates, a mechanical impact is applied to the bonded substrates along the cutting line by using a breaker (a breaking process), to obtain a plurality of unit cells at the same time. Alternatively, a pen or wheel of diamond may be used to carry out the scribing and the breaking in one step, to obtain the unit cell one by one.
- Even though the
cutting line 10 is not shown in FIG. 2, the plurality of cutting lines are formed to remove dummy regions of the circumference when practically cutting the cells. - FIG. 3 illustrates a plan view for showing the
cell cutting line 10 of thelower substrate 1 on which thesealant 7,8 is formed. Referring to FIG. 3, thecutting line 10 is overlapped with a predetermined region (circle region) of thedummy sealant 8. At this time, thedummy sealant 8 is hardened in the UV irradiating step before cutting the substrate into the cells. - If the substrate is cut into the cells in the break process after the scribing process, a problem is not generated by the hardened
dummy sealant 8. However, if the unit cell is obtained one by one by carrying out the scribing/breaking process at the same time, it is hard to cut the substrate into the cells due to the hardeneddummy sealant 8. - Accordingly, the present invention is directed to an LCD device and a method for manufacturing the same that substantially obviates one or more problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art.
- An advantage of the present invention is to provide to an LCD and a method for manufacturing the same, in which a substrate is cut into unit cells in an easier way by carrying out scribe and break processes at the same time.
- Additional advantages and features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and in part will become apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art upon examination of the following or may be learned from practice of the invention. The objectives and other advantages of the invention may be realized and attained by the structure particularly pointed out in the written description and claims hereof as well as the appended drawings.

- In another aspect, a method for manufacturing an LCD device according to the present invention includes preparing first and second substrates; forming a UV shielding part in a dummy region on one of first and second substrates; forming a UV hardening main sealant on the substrate on which the UV shielding part is formed; forming a UV hardening dummy sealant on the substrate between the UV hardening main sealant and an edge of the substrate; applying a liquid crystal on one of the first and second substrates; attaching the first and second substrates; irradiating UV light onto the UV hardening main sealant and UV hardening dummy sealant; and cutting the substrates into unit cells.
- Also, a UV blocking part is formed under the UV hardening dummy sealant in a portion where a UV hardening dummy sealant is overlapped with a cell-cutting line, so that the sealant formed under the UV blocking part is not hardened, thereby easily cutting the substrate into unit cells.

main sealant 700 is formed in a closed type having no injection hole on asubstrate 100. A UV hardeningdummy sealant 800 is formed in a closed type at the circumference of the UV hardeningmain sealant 700. Monomers or oligomers each having both ends coupled to acrylic group mixed with an initiator are used as the UV hardening main anddummy sealants dummy sealants - A
UV blocking part 750 is formed under the UV hardeningdummy sealant 800 in a portion where the UV hardeningdummy sealant 800 overlaps with a cell-cuttingline 600. Preferably, the UV blocking part is formed at a thickness between about 1000 Å and 2000 Å. TheUV blocking part 750 has no influence on cell cutting at this thickness. That is, theUV blocking part 750 may be made of any one of materials such as a metal that can block UV light, at this thickness. - In the LCD device according to the first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 4A, the
UV blocking part 750 is formed under the UV-hardeningdummy sealant 800 in every portion where the UV hardeningdummy sealant 800 overlaps with the cell-cuttingline 600. In a process step for cutting the cell along the cell cutting line according to scribe/break process, the substrate is cut from one of left or right side, so that the UV hardeningdummy sealant 800 provided at left or right side is removed during cutting the cells. Accordingly, the removed UV hardeningdummy sealant 800 has no influence on the following cell cutting process. - As shown in FIG. 4B, the
UV blocking part 750 may be formed under the UV-hardeningdummy sealant 800 in lower and upper portions of the overlapped regions between the UV hardeningdummy sealant 800 and the cell-cuttingline 600. As shown in FIG. 4C, theUV blocking part 750 may be formed under the UV hardeningdummy sealant 800 in left and right portions of the overlapped regions between the UV hardeningdummy sealant 800 and the cell-cuttingline 750, thereby easily cutting the substrate into the cells. The case shown in FIG. 4B is applied to a case of that the substrate is cut in lower and upper directions, and the case shown in FIG. 4C is applied to a case of that the substrate is cut in left and right directions. - Meanwhile, the liquid crystal layer is formed between the lower and upper substrates. At this time, the sealant may be formed any one of the lower and upper substrates.
- If one substrate shown in FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C is the lower substrate, gate and data lines, a TFT and a pixel electrode are formed on the lower substrate. The
UV blocking part 750 may be formed on the same layer as the gate or data lines, or may be formed on an additional layer. If formed on the same layer as the gate or data lines, theUV blocking part 750 may be made of the same material as the gate or data lines. - If one substrate shown in FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C is the upper substrate, a light-shielding layer, a color filter layer and a common electrode are formed on the upper substrate. The
UV blocking part 750 may be formed on the same layer as the light-shielding layer, or may be formed on an additional layer. If formed on the same layer as the light-shielding layer, theUV blocking part 750 may be made of the same material as the light-shielding layer. - Also, a column spacer may be formed on any of the lower and upper substrates maintain a cell gap. The column spacer is formed on a portion that corresponds to the gate line or the data line. Preferably, the column spacer is made of photosensitive organic resin.
- FIG. 5A to FIG. 5F illustrate perspective views for showing manufacturing process of an LCD device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In the drawings, four cells are shown, however, the number of the unit cells may be increased or decreased.
- As shown in FIG. 5A, the lower and
upper substrates lower substrate 200 to cross the plurality of data lines, thereby defining pixel regions. Then, a thin film transistor including a gate electrode, a gate insulating layer, a semiconductor layer, an ohmic contact layer, source/drain electrodes and a passivation layer is formed at each crossing point of the gate and data lines. Pixel electrodes connected to the thin film transistors are formed in the respective pixel regions. - An alignment layer is formed on the pixel electrode to initially align the liquid crystal. The alignment layer may be formed of polyimide, polyamide group compound, polyvinylalcohol(PVA), polyamic acid by rubbing, or a photosensitive material, such as polyvinvylcinnamate(PVCN), polysilioxanecinnamate(PSCN), or cellulosecinnamate(CelCN) group compound by photo-alignment.
- The light-shielding layer is formed on the
upper substrate 300 for shielding light from leaking onto the gate lines, the data lines, and the thin film transistors. The color filter layer of red (R), green (G), and blue (B), is formed on the light-shielding layer. The common electrode is formed on the color filter layer. An overcoat layer may be additionally formed between the color filter layer and the common electrode. Also, the aforementioned alignment layer is formed on the common electrode. - Silver (Ag) dots are formed on the
lower substrate 200, for applying a voltage to the common electrode on theupper substrate 300 after the lower andupper substrates upper substrate 300. - In an LCD device of In Plane Switching (LPS) mode, the common electrode and the pixel electrode are formed on the lower substrate, so that an electric field that is parallel to the substrate is induced, and the silver dots are not formed on the substrates.
- Referring to FIG. 5B, the
UV blocking part 750 is patterned on the dummy region of theupper substrate 300. More particularly, theUV blocking part 750 is formed in the portion where the dummy region overlaps with the cell cutting line for a subsequent cell cutting process. Preferably, theUV blocking part 750 is made of a material that has no bad influence on the cell cutting process. - FIG. 5B illustrates a case in which the
UV blocking part 750 is formed on every portion of the substrate where the dummy region overlaps with the cell-cutting line. TheUV blocking part 750 may be formed on left and right portions of the overlapped region between the dummy sealant and the cell-cutting line, or may be formed on lower and upper portions of the overlapped region between the dummy sealant and the cell-cutting line. Also, theUV blocking part 750 is formed on theupper substrate 300 in the drawings. However, it is possible to form theUV blocking part 750 on thelower substrate 200. - FIG. 5B illustrates a case in which the
UV blocking part 750 is formed on an additional layer. However, theUV blocking part 750 may be formed with forming a layer during preparing thelower substrate 200 or theupper substrate 300. - If the
UV blocking part 750 is formed on thelower substrate 200, theUV blocking part 750 may be formed during forming the gate or data line with the same material as the gate or data line. If theUV blocking part 750 is formed on theupper substrate 300, theUV blocking part 750 may be formed during forming the light-shielding layer with the same material as the light-shielding layer. - Referring to FIG. 5C, the UV hardening
main sealant 700 of the closed type is formed on theupper substrate 300 on which theUV blocking part 750 is patterned. Then, the UV hardeningdummy sealant 800 of the closed type is formed on the circumference of the upper substrate overlapping with theUV blocking part 750. - The sealant forming method is divided into two types, a screen printing method and a dispensing method. In the screen printing method, since a screen contacts the substrate, the alignment layer formed on the substrate may be damaged. Also, with a trend toward the large-sized LCD device; the sealant is used in great quantities, so that it is useful to form the sealant by the dispensing method.
- Monomers or oligomers each having both ends coupled to acrylic group mixed with an initiator are used as the sealant; or, monomers or oligomers each having one end coupled to acrylic group and the other end coupled to epoxy group mixed with an initiator are used as the sealant.
- Also, the
liquid crystal 500 is dropped on thelower substrate 200, thereby forming a liquid crystal layer. - If the
liquid crystal 500 contacts themain sealant 700 before themain sealant 700 is hardened, theliquid crystal 500 is contaminated. Accordingly, it is preferable to drop theliquid crystal 500 in the center of thelower substrate 200. Then, theliquid crystal 500 gradually spreads onto the entire substrate at a constant rate until hardening themain sealant 700. - In the drawings, the
liquid crystal 500 is dropped on thelower substrate 200, and theUV blocking part 750 and thesealant upper substrate 300. However, it is not limited to this. That is, theliquid crystal 500 may be formed on theupper substrate 300, and theUV blocking part 750 and the UW hardening main anddummy sealants lower substrate 200. Also, theliquid crystal 500, theUV blocking part 750 and the UV hardening main anddummy sealant - If the
liquid crystal 500 is formed on the same layer as the UV hardening main anddummy sealants liquid crystal 500 and the UV hardening main anddummy sealants - Although not shown, a spacer may be formed on any one of the lower and
upper substrates upper substrate 300, for maintaining the cell gap. - The spacer is formed in a ball spacer or a column spacer. The ball spacer is mixed with a solution at a predetermined density and is distributed on the substrate from a nozzle at a high pressure. The column spacer is attached to the substrate having the gate or data lines. If the ball spacer is applied to a large-sized panel, it has a problem in that the cell gap is not constant. Thus, it may be preferable to form the column spacer on the large-sized panel. Currently, the column spacer is made of photosensitive organic resin.
- Referring to FIG. 5D, the lower and
upper substrates - The substrate having the liquid crystal is fixed to a lower space, and the other substrate is fixed to an upper space. At this time, the surface of the other substrate on which layers are formed is faced to the surface of the substrate on which the liquid crystal is formed. Then, the upper substrate is pressed to the lower substrate to attach the lower and upper substrates to each other. In another way, in a state of that the lower substrate is spaced from the upper substrate at a predetermined portion, the lower and upper substrates are maintained at a vacuum state, and then the lower and upper substrates are attached in atmospheric pressure.
- As shown in FIG. 5E, UV light is irradiated onto the attached lower and
upper substrates UV irradiating device 900. At this time, the UV light is irradiated to the surface of theupper substrate 300. If the UV light is irradiated to the substrates, the monomers or oligomers are polymerized, which is activated by the initiator included in the UV hardening main anddummy sealants upper substrates - In a case in which the UV light is irradiated to the portion of the UV hardening
dummy sealant 800 where theUV blocking part 750 is formed, the UV hardeningdummy sealant 800 is not hardened. That is, the UV hardeningdummy sealant 800 is maintained in a fluid state, so that the portion can be easily cut during the process of cutting the attached substrates into the unit cells. - If the monomers or oligomers each having one end coupled to acrylic group and the other end coupled to epoxy group mixed with an initiator are used as the UV hardening main and
dummy sealants - Even if the dummy sealant not hardened during the UV irradiating process is hardened by heating in the above conditions, the ratio of hardening is below 50%. Thus, the cell cutting process is not affected by the heating.
- If the UV light is irradiated to the entire surface of the substrate during the UV irradiating process, the characteristic of the TFT formed on the substrate may be deteriorated. Also, a pretilt angle of the alignment layer, which is formed for initially aligning the liquid crystal, may be changed. Preferably, a
mask 950 for blocking an active region inside the UV hardeningdummy sealant 800 is provided between theUV irradiating device 900 and the attached substrates, as shown in FIG. 6. - As shown in FIG. 5F, the bonded substrates are cut into the unit cells. In the cell cutting process, a pen or wheel of diamond may be used to carry out the scribing and the breaking in one step, to obtain the unit cells one by one.
- Although not shown, a final testing process is performed after cutting the substrate into the unit cells. In the testing process, the unit cells are checked for any failure, and each pixel electrode is appropriately driven when a voltage is applied or is not applied.
- The LCD device and the method for manufacturing the same according to the present invention have the following advantages.
- In the present invention, the UV blocking part is formed under the UV hardening dummy sealant in the portion where the UV hardening dummy sealant is overlapped with the cell-cutting line. Accordingly, the UV hardening dummy sealant is not hardening in the portion where the UV blocking part is formed during irradiating the UV ray, thereby easily cutting the substrate into the unit cells.
- It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention covers the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
