Abstract:
A method for manufacturing an image display device includes the step of forming a cured resin layer by interposing a photo-curable resin composition between a protection member and a display-side panel including an image display unit and a frame member and then photo-curing the photo-curable resin composition, with the photo-curable resin composition being disposed across between the image display unit and the frame member. In the manufacturing method, a high-viscosity resin composition having a viscosity of 3000 mPa·s or more and 12000 mPa·s or less is used as the photo-curable resin composition. Alternatively, after a gap between the image display unit and the frame member is sealed with a sealing film, a photo-curable resin composition is interposed between the display-side panel and the protection member.

Abstract:
A cholesteric liquid crystal display device (24) has a protective sheet (40) or a stack of protective sheets adhered to the substrate (11) at the front of a stack of cells (10B, 10G, 10R) containing cholesteric liquid crystal material (19). The protective sheet is adhered by a layer of adhesive (40) which is either an adhesive curable by heat or an adhesive curable by light. The adhesive contains a UV blocking agent, for example, a compound based on benzophenone, having a property of reducing the transmission of ultra-violet light through the adhesive. The protective sheet (s) provides protection to the display device and may be made of glass or plastic. Adhering the protective sheet (s) with an adhesive provides the advantages of being much cheaper to implement than laminated glass and of allowing the adhesive to contain the UV blocking agent for UV protection of the cholesteric liquid crystal material.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device according to the present invention includes: a vertical alignment liquid crystal layer; first and second electrodes arranged on one surface of first and second substrates to face the liquid crystal layer; and first and second alignment films arranged on the first and second electrodes, respectively, in contact with the liquid crystal layer. The first alignment film has been subjected to an optical alignment treatment by obliquely irradiating a first alignment film material, having a photosensitive wavelength within the wavelength range of 250 nm to 380 nm, with light including the photosensitive wavelength. The device further includes: a metal layer arranged between the first alignment film and the first substrate; and a first resin layer arranged between the metal layer and the first alignment film. The first resin layer has an optical property that attenuates the intensity of light, which has been incident on the first resin layer and then reflected from the metal layer, to 60% or less at the photosensitive wavelength.
