Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Molecular alignment of liquid-crystal affects on Electro-optical characteristics in display device. Rubbing on the alignment surface is most reliable process for obtaining uniform molecular alignment in manufacturing. This process, however, has some demerits such that dusts of cloth fibers contaminate the rubbing area and electrostatic charge damages thin film transistors. New process in place of rubbing is required in manufacturing the display panel. In this paper, fine structures of the surface of the alignment substrates are Observed by atomic force microscope (AFM) and the mechanism of liquid-crystal molecular alignment is investigated. As the results, the rubbing process induces geometrical anisotropy in specific condition and has not monotonous dependence of the rubbing condition.
