[0052] Specifically, the first conductive film 31 is employed for the pixel electrodes of the TFT substrate 10, and the second conductive film 32 is employed for the common electrode of the CF substrate 20.

[0053] step 2, mixing polar material 51 into liquid crystal material 52 to obtain liquid crystal compound;

[0054] a structural formula of the polar material 51 is A-B, wherein

[0055] A is one or more polar groups connected to B, and the polar group is primary amine, secondary amine, tertiary amine, OH, COOH, SH, Si(CH3)3 or CN;

[0056] B is a linear or chain branched alkyl having 5-20 C atoms, and a first group obtained after some CH.sub.2 group in the alkyl is replaced by phenyl, cycloalkyl, O,CONH,COO,OCO or CHCH group, a second group obtained after some H atom in the alkyl is replaced by F atom or Cl atom, or a third group obtained after some H atom in the first group is replaced by F atom or Cl atom.

[0057] Preferably, a structural formula of the polar material 51 is:

##STR00003##

[0058] Specifically, in the liquid crystal compound obtained in the step 2, a content of the polar material 51 is 0.15 wt %.

[0059] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2-3, in the polar material 51, A is one or more polar groups, in which the main function of the head group A is to create the stronger intermolecular force between the polar material 51 and the graphene/PEDOT:PSS composite transparent conductive films, and the material is adhered on the graphene/PEDOT:PSS composite transparent conductive films; and the main function of the tail group B is similar with the function of the PI branch to vertically align the liquid crystal molecules in the steric hindrance manner.

[0060] Specifically, the action mechanism between the polar material 51 and the graphene/PEDOT:PSS composite transparent conductive films is:

[0061] (1) graphene is a net structure formed by carbon atoms in SP2 hybridization, wherein only one P orbit electron remains in the structure, and the electrons of the benzene ring in the structure will have stronger intermolecular force with the polar material 51 containing the polar groups;

[0062] (2) PEDOT is Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), wherein the thiophene itself inside is also an electron rich group, which also will generate stronger intermolecular force with the polar material 51 containing the polar groups;

Furthermore, because a plurality of roof shape projections 21 are provided on the TFT substrate 10 and the CF substrate 20, the polar material 51 above the projections 21 are vertically aligned along the bevels of the projections 21.

[0073] Specifically, the wet coating is spray coating, spin coating, roller coating, slot-die coating, dip coating, knife coating, gravure printing, ink jet printing or screen printing.

[0074] Specifically, as the wet coating is spray coating, and the step 13 is: positioning the TFT substrate 10 and the CF substrate 20 on a constant temperature heating plate, and employing the spray coating to coat the graphene/PEDOT:PSS mixed solution on the TFT substrate 10 and the CF substrate 20 to perform the film formation to obtain the graphene/PEDOT:PSS thin films, and a temperature range of the constant temperature heating plate is 80-120 C.

[0075] Specifically, as utilizing the spray coating, the factors, such as the usage volume of the graphene/PEDOT:PSS mixed solution, the spray pressure, duration and times can be controlled to control the thickness of the film formation.

[0076] As the wet coating is spin coating, roller coating or slot-die coating, the step 13 is: coating the graphene/PEDOT:PSS mixed solution on the TFT substrate 10 and the CF substrate 20, and the TFT substrate 10 and the CF substrate 20 are quickly transferred on the constant temperature heating plate to be baked with 3-10 min to perform the film formation to obtain the graphene/PEDOT:PSS thin films, and a temperature range of the constant temperature heating plate is 80-140 C.

[0077] Specifically, as utilizing the spin coating, the factors, such as the usage volume of the graphene/PEDOT:PSS mixed solution, the spin duration, speed and times can be controlled to control the thickness of the film formation.
