Abstract

A liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, a manufacturing method thereof and an LCD device are provided. The LCD panel comprises: a first substrate and a second substrate arranged oppositely to form a liquid crystal cell; and post spacers disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The post spacers are prepared by shape memory polymer (SMP) materials. One end of the post spacers is disposed on the first substrate and the other end is opposite to the second substrate.

Claims (26)

1. A liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, comprising:

a first substrate and a second substrate arranged oppositely to form a liquid crystal cell; and

post spacers disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate,

wherein the post spacers are prepared by a shape memory polymer (SMP) material, the SMP material is ethylene glycol phenyl ether acylate (EGPEA)/ethylene glycol phenyl ether methacrylate (EGPEMA) copolymer; and one end of the post spacers is disposed on the first substrate and the other end is opposite to the second substrate.

2. The LCD panel according to claim 1 , wherein the shape memory transition temperature of the SMP material is 20 to 45 degree centigrade.

3. The LCD panel according to claim 1 , wherein the first substrate is an array substrate or an opposing substrate arranged opposite to the array substrate.

4. The LCD panel according to claim 1 , further comprising auxiliary spacers disposed on the first substrate, wherein

the height of the auxiliary spacers on the first substrate is lower than that of the post spacers.

5. The LCD panel according to claim 1 , wherein the first substrate is an array substrate or an opposing substrate arranged opposite to the array substrate.

6. The LCD panel according to claim 1 , further comprising auxiliary spacers disposed on the first substrate, wherein

the height of the auxiliary spacers on the first substrate is lower than that of the post spacers.

7. A liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising the LCD panel according to claim 1 .

8. The LCD device according to claim 7 , further comprising a backlight module disposed on a non-display side of the LCD panel.

9. The LCD device according to claim 7 , further comprising a touch panel disposed on a display side of the LCD panel.

10. The LCD device according to claim 7 , further comprising a touch electrode structure which is at least partially formed on the first substrate or the second substrate of the LCD panel.

11. The LCD device according to claim 8 , further comprising a touch panel disposed on a display &de of the LCD panel.

12. The LCD device according to claim 8 , further comprising a touch electrode structure which is at least partially formed on the first substrate or the second substrate of the LCD panel.

13. A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, comprising:

providing a first substrate;

preparing post spacers on the first substrate with a shape memory polymer (SMP) material, wherein the SMP material is ethylene glycol phenyl ether acylate (EGPEA)/ethylene glycol phenyl ether methacrylate (EGPEMA) copolymer; and

providing a second substrate and arranging the second substrate and the first substrate oppositely to form a liquid crystal cell,

wherein the post spacers are interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate.

14. The manufacturing method according to claim 13 , wherein the shape memory transition temperature of the SMP material is 20 to 45 degree centigrade.

15. The manufacturing method according to claim 13 , further comprising: preparing auxiliary spacers on the first substrate,

wherein the height of the auxiliary spacers on the first substrate is lower than that of the post spacers.

16. The manufacturing method according to claim 13 , wherein the first substrate is an array substrate or an opposing substrate arranged opposite to the array substrate.
