Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form the alignment layer which has its characteristics improved without any mechanical contact with a striking directional particle beam to impinge on a film surface and arranging at least one liquid crystal on the struck surface. SOLUTION: High-cost excessive layers and machining steps, and mechanical contact with the surface of the alignment layer are avoided by depositing the alignment layer directly on the surface with directivity. A substrate 10 is exposed to an ion beam 12 at a certain angle 14 of incidence. When the surface 16 is deposited with an ion beam 12, a material is deposited directly or indirectly on the surface 16 or is injected into the surface to form the alignment layer used to align light crystal. The layer can be made homogeneous by bonds preferentially aligned on the substrate surface 16 and the liquid crystal can be controlled more precisely. The thickness and electron characteristics of the alignment layer can be adapted such that optical performance can be obtained. Further, this alignment is manufactured economically in terms of time and cost. COPYRIGHT: (C)1999,JPO

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make sub-pixel elements free of the effect of subsequent treatment of sub-pixel members and to attain high pixel density. SOLUTION: Areas 10, 12, 15 of red, green and blue color sub-pixel elements are successively formed on a transparent substrate 1 in the entire pixel area 9. After the formation of the separate color sub-pixel elements and before the formation of the next sub-pixel elements, the separate sub-pixel elements and the pixel area are coated with layers 11, 14, 16 of a protective transparent material. The protective layers make the sub-pixel elements free of the effect of subsequent treatment of sub-pixel members when the condition of high temperature curing, a curing agent or curing treatment is used and the advantages of producibility, reliability, yield, cost and throughput are attained.
Abstract:
A method for preparing a alignment layer surface provides a surface on the alignment layer. A chemically modified surfae [117] is formed as a result of quenching and/or ion beam treatment in accordance with the present invention, and reactive gas is introduced to the ion beam to saturate dangling bonds on the surface. Layer [117] is now substantially free from dangling bonds and free radicals which could degrade properties of a liquid crystal display. Now, a substrate [101] is formed for use in a liquid crystal displax device. Another method for preparing an alignment layer. The surface is bombarded with ions and quenched with a reactive component to saturate dangling bonds on the surface.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heat-shielded low power PCM-based reprogrammable eFUSE device. SOLUTION: An electrically re-programmable fuse (eFUSE) device for integrated circuit devices includes an elongated heater element, an electrically insulating liner surrounding an outer surface of the elongated heater element along a longitudinal axis thereof, leaving both ends of the elongated heater element in electrical contact with first and second heater electrodes. A phase change material (PCM) surrounds a portion of an outer surface of the electrically insulating liner, a thermally and electrically insulating layer surrounds an outer surface of the PCM, with first and second fuse electrodes in electrical contact with both ends of the PCM. The PCM is encapsulated within the electrically insulating liner, the thermally and electrically insulating layer, and the first and second fuse electrodes. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a low-cost, reliable light crystal display which is manufactured in a small number of steps by depositing an amorphous alignment layer on a transparent substrate by using a dry machining method. SOLUTION: The amorphous alignment layer is deposited on the transparent substrate by using the dry machining method such as plasma-reinforced chemical vapor-phase deposition. Then the atomic structure of the dry-machined alignment layer is aligned to at least one desired direction by using a particle beam device 48. A plasma generation unit 52 operates to generate ions and a group of three electrodes 54, 56, and 58 takes ions out to irradiate the substrate 20. The substrate 20 is fixed to a plate fixation platform 62 so that an angle θ as an angle of incidence of accelerated particles to a line perpendicular to the substrate 20 is maintained. The angle θ is preferably in a range of about 20 to 80 deg.. The alignment layer may be formed by a nonaqueous gas environmental deposition method such as vapor deposition, sputter deposition, and ion beam deposition.
