  • Method for evaluating orientation state of oriented layer, method for manufacturing liquid crystal panel, and method for inspecting liquid crystal panel
    Publication number: 20060222782
    Abstract: A method for evaluating an orientation state of an oriented layer, comprising: applying, on the oriented layer, a solution of a light emitting polymer containing a fluorescent material that is capable of being oriented according to an orientation state of an underlying layer; performing a heat treatment on the applied solution of the light emitting polymer to form a light emitting polymer film; obtaining a polarized fluorescence spectrum of the light emitting polymer film; determining an orientation parameter using an orientation function equation based on the polarized fluorescence spectrum; and evaluating the orientation state of the oriented layer using the orientation parameter.
