Liquid Crystals

Liquid Crystal

Liquid crystals are materials that have both the alignment order of crystals and the fluidity of liquids. Liquid crystal displays display colorful screens by cooperataing with liquid crystals, white light sources, and RGB color filters. By applying voltage to the liquid crystal molecules aligned by an alignment film, the alignment of the liquid crystal molecules are able to be changed and the amount of light passing through are able to be controlled with a function similar to a camera shutter.
JNC strive to improve the higher performance and lower costs of the liquid crystal materials, while providing products manufactured under strict quality control. In addition, by advancing the development of new liquid crystal materials, we will strive to supply products that enable even higher quality displays.
And we are also considering adapting our materials to applications other than displays such as light control glasses, sensing devices.

Alignment Materials

An alignment film is a polymer film that aligns liquid crystal molecules, and is an essential material for liquid crystal displays.
JNC’s alignment materials are able to control the orientation and pre-tilt angle of liquid crystal molecules according to the drive mode of the liquid crystal display.
Regarding orientation methods, in addition to the conventional rubbing method, we are also developing materials using the non-rubbing method.
In particular, for alignment films for In-plane switching mode, we have materials for each rubbing and optical alignment processes, achieving high display quality and reliability.

Thermosetting Materials

Thermosetting materials are the films that are cured by heat and used for various purposes. We provide thermosetting materials with various properties according to customer requirements. Overcoat is a thermosetting material used as a protective film for LCD displays.

Thermosetting material
Thermosetting material is able to be cured and form a film by heating after coating. Suitable for creating flat films without patterning. We optimally combine polyimide, acrylic, epoxy, and inorganic materials for each application to design films that brings out the strengths of each materials.

Overcoat
Overcoat, the protective film for color filters, is effective for preventing the harmful effects of impurities from the color filter and flattening the color filter.
JNC’s overcoat material has the advantages of both polyimide and epoxy materials, making it possible to create a protective film with high transparency and high heat resistance.
