RUBBING APPARATUS AND RUBBING ROLLER USED FOR THE SAME, MANUFACTURING METHOD USING THE RUBBING APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING LIQUID CRYSTAL DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rubbing apparatus which can subject a surface of an alignment film formed on a substrate surface to rubbing treatment without transfer of a fatty acid amid component thereto during rubbing treatment and a rubbing roller used for the same.;SOLUTION: The rubbing apparatus for the substrate in an electro-optic device brings the rubbing roller whose peripheral surface is formed with rubbing cloth coated with a lubricant containing the fatty acid amid component and coated with a reinforcing material such, a resin, on its rear surface into contact with the alignment film formed on the substrate and subjects the alignment film to the rubbing treatment. The apparatus comprises performing the rubbing treatment by using the rubbing roller constituted by using the rubbing cloth containing the fatty acid amid component at ≤5% or preferably not containing the same.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
