[0066] Furthermore, the examples of the present application provide manufacturing processes for the additives in the above examples in combination with specific examples. Compound M1: [ka]

[0067] The synthetic route of compound M1 is as follows. [ka]

[0068] The reactants M11 and M12 in a molar ratio of 1:4 were dissolved in dichloromethane solvent, and the catalyst M13 was added. The reaction was carried out at room temperature for 24 hours (h) to obtain product M1, whose nuclear magnetic spectrum is shown in Figure 3. Compound M2: [ka] Synthesis of compound M2: [ka]

[0069] The reactants M21 and M22 in a molar ratio of 1:4 were dissolved in dichloromethane solvent, and the catalyst M23 was added. The reaction was carried out at room temperature for 24 hours (h) to obtain product M2, whose nuclear magnetic spectrum is shown in Figure 4. Compound M3: [ka] Synthesis of compound M3: [ka]

[0070] The reactants M31 and M32 in a molar ratio of 1:4 were dissolved in dichloromethane solvent, and the catalyst M33 was added. The reaction was carried out at room temperature for 24 hours (h) to obtain product M3, whose nuclear magnetic spectrum is shown in Figure 5.

[0071] Following the above, the present invention provides comparative examples 1 and 2 and examples 1 to 3 to verify the performance of the alignment film composition and display panel according to the present invention.

[0072] In Comparative Example 1, p-phenylenediamine in a molar ratio of 50:50 [ka] and 1,3-dimethylcyclobutanetetracarboxylic acid [ka] The resulting mixture was polymerized to obtain polyimide PI-1.

[0073] In Comparative Example 2, p-phenylenediamine and 1,3-dimethylcyclobutanetetracarboxylic acid in a molar ratio of 50:50 were polymerized to obtain polyimide, to which 5 wt% of the comparative additive was added to produce polyimide PI-2, where the structure of the comparative additive in Comparative Example 2 is: [ka] As shown in the figure.

[0074] The synthesis process of the comparative additive is as follows. [ka]

[0075] The reactants Z11 and Z12 in a molar ratio of 1:4 were dissolved in dichloromethane solvent, and the catalyst Z13 was added. The reaction was carried out at room temperature for 24 hours to obtain product Z1, whose nuclear magnetic spectrum is shown in Figure 6.

[0076] In Example 1, p-phenylenediamine and 1,3-dimethylcyclobutanetetracarboxylic acid in a molar ratio of 50:50 were polymerized to obtain polyimide, to which 5 wt% of the additive-prepared polyimide PI-3 was added. The additive in Example 2 has the following structure: [ka] As shown in the figure.

[0077] In Example 2, p-phenylenediamine and 1,3-dimethylcyclobutanetetracarboxylic acid in a molar ratio of 50:50 were polymerized to obtain polyimide, to which 5 wt% of polyimide PI-4 prepared with additives was added. The structure of the additive in Example 2 is: [ka] As shown in the figure.

[0078] In Example 3, p-phenylenediamine and 1,3-dimethylcyclobutanetetracarboxylic acid in a molar ratio of 50:50 were polymerized to obtain polyimide, to which 5 wt% of polyimide PI-5 prepared with additives was added. The structure of the additive in Example 3 is: [ka] As shown in the figure.

[0079] Next, each of the produced polyimides was baked to form a film, and its mechanical hardness was tested. Furthermore, an electro-optical conversion liquid crystal cell as shown in Figure 1 was produced, and the image retention caused by long-term AC driving was tested using long-term AC driving to verify the improvement in mechanical hardness due to the addition of additives in Examples 1, 2, and 3, and the improvement in image retention (PI alignment control force) caused by long-term AC driving.

[0080] During the mechanical hardness test, the tester places a pencil on the baked PI film and fixes it. The pencil is then angled 45° to the test piece to prevent the lead from breaking, and the tester scratches the test piece firmly at a constant speed of approximately 1 cm in front of the tester. The scratching speed is 1 mm / s. After each scratch, the tip of the lead is re-sharpened, and the test is repeated five times using a pencil with the same hardness rating. When observing and evaluating the damage to the coating, if the base or primer coating is visible in only two or fewer tests out of five, a pencil with a hardness rating one digit higher should be used and the same test repeated. If the coating is damaged more than twice (every five tests), the hardness rating of the pencil at that time is read, and the next hardness rating after that pencil hardness rating is recorded. The results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0081] [Table 1]

[0082] During the long-term AC drive test, an electrode-equipped substrate was prepared. The substrate was a 30 mm x 35 mm glass substrate with a thickness of 0.7 mm. An ITO electrode with a full-surface pattern was formed on the glass substrate as the first layer of counter electrodes. A SiN (silicon nitride) film was formed on the first layer of counter electrodes using a CVD (chemical vapor deposition) method as the second layer. The thickness of the second SiN film was 500 nm. A comb-shaped pixel electrode was formed on the second SiN film by patterning an ITO film as the third layer. The area corresponding to the pixel electrode may be considered a pixel. Multiple pixels, such as a first pixel and a second pixel, were obtained. Each pixel was 10 mm long and approximately 5 mm wide.

[0083] At this time, the counter electrode of the first layer and the pixel electrode of the third layer were electrically insulated by the action of the SiN film of the second layer. As shown in Figure 7, the pixel electrode 411 of the third layer had a comb-like shape, with multiple electrode elements 3 μm wide and bent at an interior angle of 160° at the center, arranged in parallel at intervals of 6 μm, and one pixel had a first region 4111 and a second region 4112, with the line connecting the bent portions of the multiple electrode elements as the boundary.

[0084] Comparing the first region 4111 and the second region 4112 of each pixel, the forming directions of the electrode elements of the pixel electrodes constituting them were different. When the rubbing direction of the liquid crystal alignment film described below is used as a reference, in the first region 4111 of the pixel, the electrode elements of the pixel electrode 411 were formed in a manner that formed an angle of +10° (clockwise), and in the second region 4112 of the pixel, the electrode elements of the pixel electrode 411 were formed in a manner that formed an angle of -10° (clockwise). In the first region 4111 and the second region 4112 of each pixel, the directions of rotation of the liquid crystal in the substrate plane induced by application of a voltage between the pixel electrode 411 and the counter electrode were configured to be opposite to each other.

[0085] The polyimides PI-1, PI-2, PI-3, PI-4, and PI-5 were each baked onto the substrate to form a uniform 100 nm film. This was then irradiated with linearly polarized UV light at 254 nm wavelength and 500 mJ / cm² of irradiation intensity and further baked to obtain a substrate with a polyimide alignment layer. Two of these substrates with polyimide alignment layers were combined into a pair, and a second substrate was bonded to the pair with the liquid crystal alignment film surfaces facing each other and the rubbing directions antiparallel. A sealant was printed on the substrate, except for the liquid crystal injection port, so that the substrate was shaped like a 3.5 μm cell gap. Negative liquid crystal MLC 2767 (Merck) was then injected into the empty cell by vacuum injection, and the injection port was sealed to obtain an FFS-mode liquid crystal cell.

[0086] Furthermore, using the liquid crystal cell prepared above, an AC voltage of ±6V was applied at a frequency of 60 Hz for 120 hours in a constant temperature environment of 60°C. A short circuit was then formed between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode of the liquid crystal cell, and the cell was left at room temperature for one day. After leaving the cell, the liquid crystal cell was placed between two polarizers with orthogonal polarization axes. The backlight was turned on with no voltage applied, and the configuration angle of the liquid crystal cell was adjusted so that the brightness of the transmitted light was minimized. The rotation angle Δ was calculated by rotating the liquid crystal cell from the angle at which the second region 4112 of the first pixel was darkest to the angle at which the first region 4111 of the first pixel was darkest. Similarly, the second region 4112 and the first region 4111 of the second pixel were compared, and a similar angle Δ was calculated. The results shown in Table 2 below were obtained.

[0087] [Table 2]

[0088] As can be seen from Table 1 above, adding an additive to the alignment film composition can effectively improve the hardness of the resulting alignment layer and further reduce the probability of scratches on the alignment layer. Also, as can be seen from Table 2, by using the additive according to the embodiment of the present application, the hardness of the alignment layer can be improved and the angle of the AC image lag result (Δangle) can be reduced compared to the comparative additive in Comparative Example 2. The smaller the angle of the AC image lag result (Δangle), i.e., the smaller the difference from the initial state after long-term AC driving, the stronger the alignment control force on the liquid crystal. Therefore, as can be seen from Tables 1 and 2, the embodiment of the present application can effectively improve the hardness of the first alignment layer 21 and the second alignment layer 22, and can also effectively improve the alignment control force of the first alignment layer 21 and the second alignment layer 22 on the liquid crystal, and can further improve the light leakage phenomenon of the display panel.
