  • LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY HAVING THIN FILM ALIGNMENT LAYER THAT REDUCES IMAGE STICKING
    Publication number: 20010012081
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device has first and second substrates, a first electrode layer overlying one surface of the first substrate, and a second electrode layer overlying one surface of the second substrate. A first alignment layer having a thickness of 100 Å or less overlies the first electrode layer, and a second alignment layer overlies the second electrode layer, and a liquid crystal material is disposed between the alignment layers. In one preferred embodiment, the second alignment layer also has a thickness of 100 Å or less, and each alignment layers is a polyimide layer. A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display device is also provided. According to the method, first and second substrates are provided, a first electrode layer is deposited over the first substrate, and a second electrode layer is deposited over the second substrate.
