Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the field of liquid crystal display, and particularly to a frame seal structure on a substrate, a substrate, and a liquid crystal display device. The frame seal structure comprises a primary seal and an assembly process dummy seal. The assembly process dummy seal is formed in an area between the primary seal and an edge of the substrate, and consists of a plurality of sub-seals which are arranged discontinuously. The present frame seal structure is a novel frame seal structure which is proposed with respect to drawbacks of the process dummy seal during assembling with a VIF process in a liquid crystal display device with post spacers. By virtue of the novel frame seal, the peripheral region of the substrate will not be pressed airtight during assembling, so that the gas can be discharged, and poor sealing in a certain area is avoided. Thus the present disclosure can solve the problem of poor pressing of frame seal, particularly the problems like seal brush and seal narrow, and can be better adapted to the VIF process and improve the yield.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A frame seal structure on a substrate, comprising a primary seal and an assembly process dummy seal,
wherein the assembly process dummy seal is formed in an area between the primary seal and an edge of the substrate, and consists of a plurality of sub-seals which are arranged discontinuously,
wherein the primary seal consists of a plurality of sub-seals which are arranged discontinuously, and
wherein openings between two neighboring sub-seals of the assembly process dummy seal directly face openings between two neighboring sub-seals of the primary seal, and openings between two neighboring sub-seals of the assembly process dummy seal and openings between two neighboring sub-seals of the primary seal form gas discharging passages in a direction perpendicular to a side of the substrate.

2. The frame seal structure of claim 1 , wherein the distance from the assembly process dummy seal to the edge of the substrate is 1-5 mm.

3. The frame seal structure of claim 2 , wherein the distance from the assembly process dummy seal to the edge of the substrate is 2 mm.

4. The frame seal structure of claim 1 , wherein the openings between two neighboring sub-seals of the assembly process dummy seal has a size of 5-6 mm.

5. The frame seal structure of claim 4 , wherein the assembly process dummy seal has a width of 240-300 μm.

6. The frame seal structure of claim 1 , wherein the minimum distance from the assembly process dummy seal to the primary seal is 5-6 mm.

7. The frame seal structure of claim 1 , wherein the primary seal consists of a plurality of rectangular seals which are regularly arranged between the liquid crystal display area and the assembly process dummy seal.

8. The frame seal structure of claim 1 , wherein the primary seal is a plurality of seals which are parallel with the assembly process dummy seal and arranged regularly between the liquid crystal display area and the assembly process dummy seal, openings in each of the seals corresponding in position with the openings between two neighboring sub-seals of the assembly process dummy seal.

9. The frame seal structure of claim 1 , further comprising frame seals which are arranged around the liquid crystal display area, wherein the frame seal comprises a liquid crystal perfusion inlet which extends outside in a straight through manner.

10. A substrate, comprising the frame seal structure of claim 1 .

11. A liquid crystal display device, comprising the substrate of claim 10 .
