Liquid crystal display panel with flexible barrier within outer seal of differing material type and fabrication method thereof
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal display panel includes first and second substrates being bonded by a sealant, and an elastic barrier formed between the first and second substrates inside the sealant, the elastic barrier and the sealant having a distance therebetween.
1. A liquid crystal display panel, comprising:
first and second substrate being bonded by a sealant, wherein the sealant has a shape of a closed-shape;
an elastic barrier formed of a different material from the sealant, at a distance from the sealant inside the entire sealant between the first and second substrates, wherein the elastic barrier has a shape of a smaller closed-loop than the sealant,
wherein the elastic barrier is formed of a urethane group resin having an aromatic diisocyanate of about 20˜30%, a polyol of about 20˜30%, and a dihydric or trihydric alcohol of about 40˜60%; and
a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates inside the elastic barrier,
wherein the elastic barrier is bent toward the sealant when the liquid crystal layer expands so that the cell gap between the first and the second substrates are maintained constantly.
2. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the aromatic diisocyanate includes 4,4′-diphenyl methane diisocyanate MDI.
3. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the alcohol includes 1,4-butanediol.
4. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic barrier and the sealant are substantially parallel to each other.
5. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the distance is determined based on a volume expansion of a liquid crystal material between the first and second substrates.
