Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a liquid crystal aligning agent. Specifically, the present invention relates to a liquid crystal aligning agent excellent in printability in addition to providing a liquid crystal display element excellent in liquid crystal orientation, light resistance, heat resistance, and afterimage characteristics. Background technique

[0002] Liquid crystal display elements can be classified into: Twisted Nematic (TN) type, Super Twisted Nematic (STN) type, Vertical Alignment (Vertical Alignment, VA) type, Multidomain Vertical Alignment (MVA) type, In-Plane Switching (IPS) type, Fringe Field Switching (FFS) type, Polymer Sustained Alignment (Polymer Sustained Alignment) , PSA) and other models.

[0003] The material of the liquid crystal aligning film in these various liquid crystal display elements is known to have resin materials such as polyamic acid, polyimide, polyamide, polyester, especially the liquid crystal aligning film compri...

Examples

Embodiment 1

[0229] (1) Preparation of liquid crystal aligning agent

[0230] The polymer (PA-1) obtained in the synthesis example PA-1 is dissolved in a mixed solvent comprising N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and butyl cellosolve (BC) (the solvent composition is NMP; BC = 50:50 (weight ratio)) to prepare a solution having a polymer concentration of 6.0% by weight. The liquid crystal aligning agent was obtained by filtering this solution with the filter of 1 micrometer of pore diameters.

[0231] (2) Evaluation of printability

[0232] The printability of the liquid crystal aligning agent prepared above was evaluated.

[0233] First, using an offset-type liquid crystal alignment film printer (manufactured by Nippon Photo Printing Co., Ltd.), the liquid crystal alignment agent was coated on the transparent electrode surface of a glass substrate with a transparent electrode comprising an ITO film, and the After heating (pre-baking) on ​​a hot plate for 1 minute to remove the solvent, heat (...

Embodiment 2～ Embodiment 6 and comparative example 1

[0257] Except having made the kind and quantity of the polymer used for preparing a liquid crystal aligning agent into Table 2, respectively, the liquid crystal aligning agent was prepared similarly to the said Example 1, and the liquid crystal display element was manufactured and evaluated.

[0258] The evaluation results are shown in Table 2.

[0260]

[0261] Furthermore, in addition to changing the patterns of the ITO electrodes on the glass substrate as figure 2 as well as image 3 Except for the herringbone electrode pattern shown, the liquid crystal display element was manufactured similarly to the said Example 1 using the liquid crystal aligning agent in said Example 1 - Example 6, respectively, and it evaluated. Also in this case, it was confirmed that the same effects as those of Examples 1 to 6 were exhibited.

Embodiment 7

[0263] (1) Preparation of liquid crystal aligning agent

[0264] The polymer (PA-6) obtained in the synthesis example PA-6 was dissolved in a mixture containing N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), γ-butyrolactone (GBL) and butyl cellosolve (BC). In a solvent (solvent composition: NMP:GBL:BC=40:40:20 (weight ratio)), a solution having a polymer concentration of 3.0% by weight was prepared. The liquid crystal aligning agent was obtained by filtering this solution with the filter of 1 micrometer of pore diameters.
