  • Patent number: 10303003
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device including a TFT substrate with display and peripheral regions. The display region has pixels each having a pixel electrode and a TFT. A counter substrate opposes the TFT substrate and has a color filter formed at a position corresponding to a position at which the pixel electrode is formed above the TFT substrate. The method includes coating, outside of the display region of the TFT substrate, a second alignment film in the shape of a frame, and coating, in the display region, a first alignment film that dries more slowly than the second alignment film. The first and second alignment films are in contact, and the second alignment film is thicker than the first alignment film.

  • Patent number: 9099273
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a plurality of nanostructures comprising the steps of providing a plurality of protruding base structures (104) arranged on a surface of a first substrate (102), providing a seed layer mixture, comprising a solvent/dispersant and a seed material, in contact with the protruding base structures, providing a second substrate arranged in parallel with the first substrate adjacent to the protruding base structures, thereby enclosing a majority of the seed layer mixture between the first and second substrates, evaporating the solvent, thereby forming a seed layer (110) comprising the seed material on the protruding base structures, removing the second substrate, providing a growth mixture, comprising a growth agent, in contact with the seed layer, and controlling the temperature of the growth mixture so that nanostructures (114) are formed on the seed layer via chemical reaction in presence of the growth agent.

  • Patent number: 8514356
    Abstract: In a liquid crystal display device small in the size and having a narrow frame, an alignment film can be coated by ink jet printing, by coating a rapidly drying peripheral alignment film 109 in the shape of a frame to a TFT substrate 100 having a display region having pixel electrode 107 and a peripheral region thereof by ink jet printing, and then coating a display region alignment film 108 drying slower but excellent in the leveling effect by ink jet printing. While the display region alignment film 108 dries slowly, since the peripheral alignment film 109 formed to the periphery functions as a stopper, the shape of the alignment film can be defined accurately, thereby enabling to prevent lowering of the adhesion of the seal member 20 under the effect of the alignment film. This can be applied also on the side of the counter substrate 200.

  • Publication number: 20110292332
    Abstract: The present invention prevents an unrubbed portion caused by asperities formed on a surface of an alignment layer of a TFT substrate or a counter substrate. A TFT substrate is disposed on a rubbing stage and a projecting portion is formed on a surface of the TFT substrate by TFT wiring. The projecting portion on the surface causes an unrubbed portion, that is, a rubbing shadow particularly at the downstream of rubbing. In a rubbing step, two rubbing rollers that rotate in different directions are provided and the TFT substrate is rubbed in contact with the two rubbing rollers that rotate in different directions, which eliminates the influence of the rubbing shadow. Thus light leakage is prevented in black display.
