  • Patent number: 7060420
    Abstract: A fabrication method for a liquid crystal display. A pair of substrates is provided. An alignment layer is formed on the respective substrates. An energy beam is irradiated on a predetermined area of at least one of the alignment layers. The alignment layer is rubbed to form a first pretilt-angle area in the predetermined area exposed to the energy beam, and a second pretilt-angle area not exposed to the energy beam. The pair of substrates are bonded with a preset gap therebetween, and a liquid crystal layer is inserted between the substrates. The liquid crystals corresponding to the first pretilt angle area have a first pretilt angle of ?1, while those corresponding to the second pretilt angle area have a second pretilt angle of ?2.

  • Patent number: 6912038
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for manufacturing liquid crystal display (LCD) device by utilizing photopolymer. A first photopolymer layer is coated on the support substrate and the substrate having a buffer layer is treated by photopolymerization. A substrate is treated by processes for forming an electrode layer, an alignment layer and projections as required by general LCD manufacturing. A second photopolymer layer is coated on the substrate having a plurality electrode patterns, an alignment layer and projections. Mask exposure is applied to the substrate and the photopolymer forms a polymer wall. Alternatively molding can be applied to the substrate along with linear ultra violet exposure. The photopolymer layer is hardened by such process and forms a polymer wall with alignment. The cavities in the polymer wall are filled with mixture of liquid crystal and small amount of photopolymer.

  • Publication number: 20050064116
    Abstract: A polymer gel display, fabrication method and operating structure thereof. Display is enabled by utilizing the flexing characteristic of a polymer-gel sheet. A pair of substrates is separated by a predetermined gap, and a polymer-gel sheet of a first color disposed therebetween, having two ends fixed, a center area flexible and contacting no more than one of the substrates. A fluid layer of a second color is disposed between the substrates, displaying its color via the substrate not contacting the polymer-gel sheet. An external electric field is applied to the polymer-gel sheet, flexing the polymer-gel sheet toward the substrate until making contact and the first color of the polymer-gel sheet is displayed via the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20040228981
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for manufacturing an electrophoretic display. The major feature is wrapping the colored and charged particles with photo polymeric material so as to enable an electrophoretic display. The manufacturing process includes steps as proceeding to a polymerization manufacturing process where an assist substrate having a buffer layer is coated with a first layer of photo polymeric material. The first layer of photo polymeric material then undergoes required steps such as conductive layer electrode fabricating. The second layer of photo polymeric material mixture is coated on a substrate having a plurality of electrode patterns. The assist substrate is aligned with the substrate. Then a mask exposure polymerization manufacturing process is performed so as to combining the assist substrate and the substrate and separate the charged particles solution from the polymeric material. The assist substrate is removed from the substrate and the manufacturing process is completed.

  • Patent number: 6593988
    Abstract: A multi-domain liquid crystal display (LCD) has a plurality of wall-bump structures formed on a common electrode layer on a substrate. Each wall-bump structure consists of at least one wall-bump disposed in a pixel area. Wall-bumps of many different shapes can be used in the wall-bump structure. The wall-bump structure is manufactured by a standard photo-lithographic process. It provides pre-tilted angles for liquid crystal molecules and results in orderly alignment of liquid crystal molecules when an external voltage is applied. By means of the fringe field effect to tilt liquid crystal molecules, a multi-domain LCD cell can be established after a voltage is applied. The multi-domain LCD provides fast response speed for its application and higher transmittance than a conventional vertically aligned wide-viewing angle LCD.

  • Publication number: 20030011734
    Abstract: A multi-domain liquid crystal display has at least one wall bump structure formed on one of pixel and common electrode layers. Each wall bump structure has a plurality of boundaries and the opposite sides of the boundaries are not parallel to each other. One of the electrode layers may be formed with openings. The non-parallel boundaries of the wall bump structures cause various pre-tilted directions for the liquid crystals filling the gap between two substrates. The viewing angle of the liquid crystal display is increased and the stability of the multi-domain effect is enhanced with the wall bump structures. The liquid crystals may be aligned vertically, horizontally, tilted with an angle, or reverse tilted with an angle using a mask rubbing process or a photo aligned method. If wall bump structures are formed on both pixel and common electrode layers, they may overlap each other.
