Latest Patents
One of Itami's latest patents is a method of manufacturing a substrate for a liquid crystal display device. This invention involves irradiating light with exposure energy on a photo-sensitive resin layer, which has a predetermined film thickness. This process creates a distribution of thermal deformation characteristics in the thickness direction or plane direction of the resin layer. Following this, heat treatment is performed to form random undulations, such as micro-grooves or micro-wrinkles, on the surface of the resin layer. Another notable patent is for a liquid crystal display device that features a structure where vertically aligned liquid crystal is sealed between a TFT substrate and a CF substrate. This device includes pixel electrodes with slits on the TFT substrate and cell gap holding spacers along with domain defining projections on the CF substrate. The innovative method allows for the simultaneous formation of spacers and projections of varying heights.
