SHADOWING SPACERS FOR LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAYS, METHOD FOR THEIR PRODUCTION AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY ELEMENT WITH SUCH SPACERS

摘要

A process is disclosed for producing a shading spacer suitable for use in a liquid crystal, which comprises: (a) forming a slurry of cross-linkable polymer particles by the deposition-polymerization of a monomer mixture which comprises vinyl monomers having a hydrolysable silyl group; (b) adding to the polymer particles, simultaneously or sequentially in either order, a cross-linking catalyst and a dyestuff which contains a hydrolysable silyl group; and (c) recovering the resulting dyed cross-linked polymer particles.
