Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, by M.Schadt et al. (Jpn.J.Appl.Phys., Vol.31, 1992, 2155), Dae S.Kang et al. (USP 5464669) and Yuriy Reznikov (Jpn.J.Appl.Phys., Vol. 34, 1992, L1000), despite their advanced concepts, have not been commercialized because of difficulties in developing new materials to support these methods
A major reason for the difficulty is that the raw material for the alignment film does not have sufficient processability for use in conventional methods of producing liquid crystal displays
Also, a display device using an alignment film formed by optical alignment has inferior display quality compared to a display device formed using a polyimide alignment film by a rubbing method.

Embodiment 1

[0029] Photoalignment materials with the following repeating unit structures were synthesized:

[0030] 10 g (0.10 mol) of maleic anhydride and 10.1 g (0.09 mol) of aminophenol were added to 100 ml of toluene and stirred at room temperature for 2 hours to prepare an amic acid type intermediate. The resulting solution was added to 100ml of acetic anhydride, and at 95 ° C with 0.41g (0.005mol) sodium acetate (CH 3 COONa) was dehydrated for 4 hours to obtain 4-acetoxyphenylmaleimide with a yield of 50%.

[0031] Then at 65°C in acetone, using 0.35g AIBN (2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile) as a polymerization initiator, 10g (0.043mol) of the above-prepared 4-acetoxyphenylmaleyl The imine was radically polymerized for 4 hours to form the polymer described below.

[0032] Deprotection of the resulting polymer with 5 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) in a mixture of 1 liter of methanol and acetone at 80 °C for 5 hours gave a polymer with the following structure in 85% yield . ...

Embodiment 2

[0037] Photoalignment materials with the following repeating unit structures were synthesized:

[0038] The main chain of the above polymer was synthesized in the same manner as described in Example 1. That is, 10 g (0.043 mol) of 4-acetoxyphenylmaleimide prepared in the same manner as described in Example 1, 6.97 g (0.043 mol) of acetoxystyrene and as a polymerization initiator 0.35g of AIBN was added to acetone and radically polymerized at 65°C for 4 hours to form the polymer backbone shown below.

[0039] The resulting polymer was deprotected with 5 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) in a mixture of 1 liter of methanol and acetone at 80 °C for 5 hours to obtain a polymer backbone with the following structure in a yield of 85%.

[0040] The reactive groups for the side chains were synthesized as described below. First, 1 g (0.006 mol) of 4-carboxybenzaldehyde and 0.79 g (0.006 mol) of thionyl chloride (SOCl 3 ) was reacted for 40 minutes, and then reacted with 0....

Embodiment 3

[0043] Photoalignment materials with the following repeating unit structures were synthesized:

[0044] Add 10g (0.06mol) of exo-3,6-epoxy-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride and 6.73g (0.06mol) of aminophenol into 100ml of toluene, and After stirring for 2 hours, an amic acid intermediate was obtained. In 100ml of acetic anhydride at 95°C, dehydrate the resulting solution with 2.46g (0.03mol) of sodium acetate for 4 hours to give 4-acetoxyphenyl-3,6-epoxy-1,2,3,6- Tetrahydrophthalimide, 50% yield.

[0045] Then, 10 g (0.043 mol) of 4-acetoxyphenyl maleimide prepared in the same manner as described in Example 1, 7.8 g (0.03 mol) of 4-acetoxyphenyl-3,6 -Epoxy-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalimide, 2.75g (0.02mol) of acetoxystyrene and 0.71g of AIBN as a polymerization initiator were added to acetone at 65°C Under free radical polymerization for 4 hours, a terpolymer was formed as described below.

[0046] The resulting copolymer was deprotected in the same manner as describe...

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a photo-alignment material (photo-alignment materials) for liquid crystal alignment film. More particularly, the present invention relates to an optical alignment material for a liquid crystal alignment film having uniform alignment of liquid crystals in a liquid crystal display device to improve the electrical and electro-optical alignment of the alignment film performance, and thereby improve the reliability of products using the alignment film. Background technique [0002] The alignment of liquid crystals in a liquid crystal display changes according to an electric field induced by an externally applied voltage. This change in liquid crystal alignment determines whether external light entering the liquid crystal device is blocked or transmitted. Therefore, due to this property of the liquid crystal, a liquid crystal device can be driven. As a display device, the quality of a liquid crystal display is determine...
