Liquid crystal display
A liquid crystal display that is less vulnerable to signal line corrosion due to infiltration of moisture is presented. The display includes: a first display panel and a second display panel facing each other; a sealant disposed between the first display panel and the second display panel to define a sealant region and couple the first display panel and the second display panel to each other; a blocking member disposed between the first display panel and the second display panel and neighboring the sealant; and a liquid crystal interposed between the first display panel and the second display panel, and disposed in the sealant region. The blocking member includes silicone formed from a silane derivative having at least one butyrate.
1 . A liquid crystal display comprising:
a first display panel and a second display panel facing each other;
a sealant disposed between the first display panel and the second display panel to define a sealant region and couple the first display panel to the second display panel;
a blocking member disposed between the first display panel and the second display panel and neighboring the sealant, wherein the blocking member includes silicone formed from a silane derivative having at least one butyrate; and
a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first display panel and the second display panel and disposed in the sealant region
2 . The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein
the silane derivative has Chemical Formula 1:
wherein R1 and R2 are same as or different from each other, and are selected from an alkyl group with 1 to 5 carbons.
3 . The liquid crystal display of claim 2 , wherein
the first display panel includes
a plurality of gate lines extending parallel to each other according to a first direction, and
a plurality of data lines extending parallel to each other and intersecting the gate lines, and
the blocking member includes at least one of
a first blocking member overlapping the gate lines, and
a second blocking member overlapping the data lines.
4 . The liquid crystal display of claim 2 , wherein
at least one of R1 and R2 of an alkyl group of Chemical Formula 1 is combined with at least one functional group selected from
a group consisting of an amide group, an ester group, an ether group, a sulfide group, a sulfoxide group, a hydroxy group, an imide group, an aza group, an amine group, an azo group, an aldehyde group, a carboxylic acid group, an anhydride group, a halide group, and a urea group.
5 . The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the blocking member is formed outside the sealant region.
6 . A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display comprising:
forming a first display panel including a plurality of signal lines, a thin film transistor connected to the signal lines, and a pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor;
forming a second display panel including a common electrode;
forming a liquid crystal layer between the first display panel and the second display panel;
coupling the first display panel to the second display panel using a sealant; and
forming a blocking member between the first display panel and the second display panel along an edge of the second display panel, wherein the blocking member includes a silicone formed from silane derivatives having at least one butyrate.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein
the silane derivative has Chemical Formula 1:
wherein R1 and R2 are same as or different from each other, and are selected from an alkyl group with 1 to 5 carbons.
8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein forming the blocking member comprises forming the blocking member outside a sealant region defined by the sealant.
