NMR analysis of liquid crystal compounds
At Aites Co., Ltd., we conduct "NMR analysis of liquid crystal compounds." NMR is an analytical method that reveals the connections between atoms that make up a molecule, and it is used alongside mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy for determining the structure of compounds. In the downloadable materials, we highlight the 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and DEPT measurements of 4-butoxy-4'-cyanobiphenyl (CAS number 52709-87-2), which is used as a liquid crystal component, and introduce the information obtained from NMR. Please feel free to download and take a look.

Chemical Analysis Concierge Service
We would like to introduce our "Chemical Analysis - Trust Us Service." When conducting component analysis of foreign substances or stains on products, it can be challenging to determine whether organic analysis or inorganic analysis is more suitable, and which specific analysis within organic or inorganic is the most appropriate. We provide a comprehensive service for customers who are struggling with the selection of analysis methods. Since each analysis device can measure different targets, it is necessary to choose a method that fits the purpose based on the information available.

Observation of Conductive Particle Shape in COG Implementation
We will introduce the observation of the shape of conductive particles in COG implementation. ICs and liquid crystal panels are implemented using the COG method with ACF (anisotropic conductive film). A resin ball is used as the core, and a metal layer (such as nickel or gold) for conductivity is deposited on its surface. During connection, the particles deform appropriately to electrically connect the IC and the panel. To confirm the degree of particle deformation and connection status, cross-sectional observations were conducted, revealing that the particle deformation was at a "medium" level, indicating an appropriate degree of deformation. By examining the deformation of conductive particles from both the planar and cross-sectional directions, we can explore the correlation with display defects. Please feel free to contact us for any inquiries regarding panel-related defects.

Analysis of trace metal elements in liquid crystals
We will introduce a case where ICP measurement was conducted using panels before and after reliability testing, along with quantification. The liquid crystal molecules in an LCD are oriented within the panel, and the display is controlled by changes in the orientation state of the liquid crystal due to voltage. When ionic substances, such as metal elements, are present inside the panel, the liquid crystal may not drive correctly, leading to display defects. It is known that ionic substances can increase due to contamination during manufacturing or long-term use, making it important to quantify and understand them as part of panel quality. Metal ions can be quantitatively analyzed using ICP analysis, and depending on the differences in pretreatment methods and detection sensitivity, ICP-AES and ICP-MS are used selectively. [Analysis Content] ■ Comparison of metal element content using ICP-AES analysis ■ Comparison of metal element content using ICP-MS analysis For more details, please refer to the related products and catalog below.
