Abstract
Abstract— Image‐sticking phenomenon is one of the most important issues affecting LCDs, especially LCD TV. It is known that image sticking is caused by residual DC voltage. An analysis of the cause that induces image sticking on a real LCD cell is very difficult to perform and is rarely reported. In this paper, the impurities that cause boundary image sticking on a real MVA cell was analyzed by examining a cross section of a cell, the bulk LC layer, the vicinity of the LC layer, the LC layer/PI alignment film interface using microanalysis methods such as infrared micro‐spectroscopy (μ‐IR) and micro‐sampling mass spectrometry (μ‐MS). It is clarified that there is quite a bit of aromatic acid at the boundary of the image‐sticking area than in the normal area at the LC/PI alignment film interface on the color‐filter side, not the TFT side, and it is assumed that aromatic carboxylic acid, a negative charged material, is condensed at the LC/PI alignment film interface on the color filter side by an electrically driven DC component inducing an electric‐condenser residual DC voltage.
