Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of controlling the pretilt angle in liquid crystal (LC) displays of the polymer sustained alignment (PSA) type, to a method of manufacturing a PSA display with different pretilt angles at the two substrates, and to PSA displays made by this method.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display (LCD) of the polymer stabilised alignment (PSA) mode, which comprises\n a) providing a first substrate and a second substrate, b) depositing an alignment layer material, or a precursor thereof, on the first substrate and the second substrate, to form a first alignment layer on the first substrate and a second alignment layer on the second substrate, c) optionally curing the alignment layer material, or the precursor thereof, d) interposing an LC medium comprising a polymerisable component between the first and the second substrate, such that it is in contact with the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer, e) polymerising the polymerisable component of the LC medium between the first and second substrate, characterized in that 1) in step b) the alignment layer material, or the precursor thereof, deposited on the first substrate contains a polymerisation inhibitor which inhibits polymerisation of the polymerisable component of the LC medium, or 2) in step b) the alignment layer material, or the precursor thereof, deposited on the second substrate contains a polymerisation initiator which initiates polymerisation of the polymerisable component of the LC medium, or both 1) and 2) are fulfilled.
