Background Art
[0002] A conventional liquid crystal display panel includes an array substrate and a color filter substrate that are disposed opposite to each other, and a liquid crystal layer located between the array substrate and the color filter substrate.

It is understandable that multiple aryl groups may be interrupted by short non-aromatic units (e.g., <10% of non-H atoms such as C, N, or O atoms), and in particular, acenaphthylene, fluorene, or 9,9-diarylfluorene, triarylamines, and diaryl ether systems should also be included in the definition of an aryl group.
[0022] In this application, heteroaromatic group, heteroaromatic, and heteroaromatic ring system have the same meaning and are interchangeable.

[0023] In this application, "substitution" means that one or more hydrogen atoms in a substituent are substituted by the substituent. If the same substituent appears multiple times, it may be independently selected from different groups. If the generalization contains multiple R groups, R may be independently selected from different groups. In the embodiments of this application, "substituted or unsubstituted" means that the defined group may or may not be substituted, and if the defined group is substituted, it should be understood that the defined group may be substituted with one or more substituents R, the substituents R being selected from, but not limited to, a deuterium atom, a cyano group, an isocyano group, a nitro group or halogen, an alkyl group with 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a heterocyclyl group with 3 to 20 ring atoms, an aromatic group with 6 to 20 ring atoms, a heteroaromatic group with 5 to 20 ring atoms, -NR'R'', a silyl group, a carbonyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, a carbamoyl group, a haloformyl group, a formyl group, an isocyanate group, a thiocyanate group, an isothiocyanate group, a hydroxyl group, and a trifluoromethyl group, and the above groups may be further substituted with substituents acceptable in the art.

Preferably, R is selected from, but is not limited to, a deuterium atom, a cyano group, an isocyano group, a nitro group or halogen group, an alkyl group containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms, a heterocyclyl group having 3 to 10 ring atoms, an aromatic group having 6 to 20 ring atoms, a heteroaromatic group having 5 to 20 ring atoms, a silyl group, a carbonyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, a carbamoyl group, a haloformyl group, a formyl group, an isocyanate group, a thiocyanate group, an isothiocyanate group, a hydroxyl group, and a trifluoromethyl group, and the above groups may be further substituted with substituents acceptable in the art.
[0024] In this application, "amine group" refers to a derivative of an amine, having the structural characteristics of -NR'R'', and the meanings of R' and R'' are the same as described above.
[0025] In this application, "ring atom number" refers to the number of atoms that constitute the ring itself in a structural compound in which atomic bonds are synthesized in a cyclic manner (e.g., monocyclic compounds, fused ring compounds, crosslinked compounds, carbocyclic compounds, heterocyclic compounds). If the ring is substituted with substituents, the atoms included in the substituents are not included in the ring-forming atoms. The same applies to the "ring atom number" described below unless otherwise specified. For example, the ring atom number of a benzene ring is 6, the ring atom number of a naphthalene ring is 10, and the ring atom number of a thienyl group is 5.
[0026] In this application, the asterisk (*) attached to a single bond indicates a bonding or condensation site.
[0027] In this application, if a connection site is not clearly specified in the base, any connectable site is indicated as a connection site in the base.
[0028] In this application, if condensation sites are not explicitly specified, it means that any condensable sites in the base are considered condensation sites, and preferably, two or more sites in the ortho position in the base are condensation sites.
[0029] In this application, when a group has multiple substituents with the same symbol, each substituent may be the same as or different from the others, for example. [ka] In this case, the six R atoms on the benzene ring may be the same or different from each other.
[0030] In this application, a single bond to which a substituent is linked penetrates the corresponding ring, meaning that the substituent can be linked at any position on the ring, for example. [ka] In this case, R can be linked to any substituted site on the benzene ring. For example, [ka] teeth [ka] but [ka] This means that it can form a parallel ring at any position on the benzene ring.
[0031] The terms cyclic alkyl or cycloalkyl as used in this application have the same meaning and are interchangeable.
[0032] In this application, "adjacent groups" means that there are no substitutable sites between the two substituents.
[0033] In this application, "two adjacent R1 or R3 or R5 form a ring with each other" means a ring system formed by the linkage of two adjacent R1 or R3 or R5 with each other, and the ring system can be selected from an aliphatic hydrocarbon ring, an aliphatic heterocycle, an aromatic hydrocarbon ring, or an aromatic heterocycle. Preferably, [ka] It is possible to form this.
[0034] Referring to Figure 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a display panel comprising a first substrate 11, a second substrate 12, and a first alignment layer 21.
[0035] Here, the first substrate 11 is installed facing the second substrate 12, and the first orientation layer 21 is installed on the side of the first substrate 11 closer to the second substrate 12.
[0036] Furthermore, the first orientation layer 21 has a first polyimide molecular chain, and the first polyimide molecular chain contains the units shown in the following chemical formula 13. [ka] Here, A contains at least one of a phenoxy group and a biphenyl group, n is an integer of 1 or more, and m is an integer of 1 or more.
[0037] In the implementation process, the embodiment of the present application improves the degree of crosslinking of the first orientation layer 21 by forming the structure shown in Chemical Formula 1 on the first polyimide molecular chain of the first orientation layer 21, thereby improving the hardness of the first orientation layer 21 and reducing the probability of scratching the first orientation layer 21. Furthermore, the structure shown in Chemical Formula 1 has at least one of a phenoxy group and a biphenyl group, and both the phenoxy group and the biphenyl group have a liquid crystal-like structure, which can effectively improve the orientation restricting force of the first orientation layer on the liquid crystal 21, and can further improve the light leakage phenomenon of the display panel.
[0038] It should be explained that the fact that A contains at least one of a phenoxy group and a biphenyl group means that the group represented by A contains at least one of a phenoxy group and a biphenyl group, and that the group represented by A may further contain other groups other than phenoxy and biphenyl groups, such as C, N, OH, etc.
[0039] Furthermore, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the first polyimide molecular chain further includes diamine subunits R1 and dianhydride subunits R2 formed by polymerization. The unit L shown in Chemical Formula 1 may be linked between the crosslinked diamine subunits R1 and dianhydride subunits R2, thereby crosslinking the first polyimide molecular chain into a network structure, further improving the degree of crosslinking of the first polyimide molecular chain, that is, improving the degree of crosslinking of the first oriented layer 21, thereby improving the hardness of the first oriented layer 21 and reducing the probability of scratching the first oriented layer 21.

[0053] It should be explained that one of the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12 may be an array substrate, and the other of the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12 may be a color film substrate. For example, if the first substrate 11 is an array substrate, the second substrate 12 is a color film substrate, the first electrode layer 41 may be a pixel electrode, the second electrode layer 42 may be a common electrode, and an electric field may be generated between the first electrode layer 41 and the second electrode layer 42 to control the deflection of liquid crystal molecules 31 in the liquid crystal layer 30 and control the amount of light passing through the liquid crystal layer 30.

Preferably, the orientation angle between the first orientation layer 21 and the second orientation layer 22 is parallel, or the orientation angle between the first orientation layer 21 and the second orientation layer 22 is perpendicular to 90°.
[0058] Following the above, the embodiment of the present application improves the degree of crosslinking between the first alignment layer 21 and the second alignment layer 22 by forming the structure shown in Chemical Formula 1 on the first polyimide molecular chain and the second polyimide molecular chain 22 of the first alignment layer 21, thereby improving the hardness of the first alignment layer 21 and the second alignment layer 22 and reducing the probability of scratching the first alignment layer 21 and the second alignment layer 22. On the other hand, the structure shown in Chemical Formula 1 has at least one of a phenoxy group and a biphenyl group, and both the phenoxy group and the biphenyl group have a liquid crystal-like structure, which can effectively improve the alignment restricting 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.

[0060] In one embodiment, p1, p2, q1 and q2 may all be 6 or less, for example, p1, p2, q1 and q2 may each be independently selected from any one of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
[0061] In one embodiment of the present application, the mass percentage of the additive in the liquid crystal composition is 0.1% or more and 20% or less. It should be explained that in the alignment film composition according to the embodiment of the present application, the molar ratio of diamine monomer to dianhydride monomer is 1:1, and the mass percentage of the additive in the liquid crystal composition may be 0.1%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, or 20%.

[0067] The synthesis route for compound M1 is as follows: [ka]
[0068] Reactants M11 and M12 in a molar ratio of 1:4 were dissolved in dichloromethane solvent, catalyst M13 was added, and the reaction was carried out at room temperature for 24 hours (h) to obtain product M1. The nuclear magnetic spectrum of product M1 is shown in Figure 3. Compound M2: [ka] Synthesis process of compound M2: [ka]
[0069] Reactants M21 and M22 in a molar ratio of 1:4 were dissolved in dichloromethane solvent, catalyst M23 was added, and the reaction was carried out at room temperature for 24 hours (h) to obtain product M2. The nuclear magnetic spectrum of product M2 is shown in Figure 4. Compound M3: [ka] Synthesis process of compound M3: [ka]
[0070] Reactants M31 and M32 in a molar ratio of 1:4 were dissolved in dichloromethane solvent, catalyst M33 was added, and the reaction was carried out at room temperature for 24 hours (h) to obtain product M3. The nuclear magnetic spectrum of product M3 is shown in Figure 5.
[0071] Following the above, the embodiments of the present application provide 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 embodiments of the present application.
[0072] In Comparative Example 1, p-phenylenediamine was used in a molar ratio of 50:50. [ka] and 1,3-dimethylcyclobutanetetracarboxylic acid [ka] Polyimide PI-1 was obtained by polymerization reaction.
[0073] In Comparative Example 2, a polyimide was obtained by polymerizing p-phenylenediamine and 1,3-dimethylcyclobutanetetracarboxylic acid in a molar ratio of 50:50. Polyimide PI-2, produced with 5 wt% of a comparative additive, was then added to it. The structure of the comparative additive in Comparative Example 2 was as follows: [ka] As shown.
[0074] The synthesis process for the comparative additive is as follows: [ka]
[0075] Reactants Z11 and Z12 in a molar ratio of 1:4 were dissolved in dichloromethane solvent, catalyst Z13 was added, and the reaction was carried out at room temperature for 24 hours (h) to obtain product Z1. The nuclear magnetic spectrum of product Z1 is shown in Figure 6.
[0076] In Example 1, a polyimide was obtained by polymerizing p-phenylenediamine and 1,3-dimethylcyclobutanetetracarboxylic acid in a molar ratio of 50:50, and polyimide PI-3, produced with 5 wt% of an additive, was added thereto. Here, the structure of the additive in Example 2 is as follows: [ka] As shown.
[0077] In Example 2, a polyimide was obtained by polymerizing p-phenylenediamine and 1,3-dimethylcyclobutanetetracarboxylic acid in a molar ratio of 50:50. Polyimide PI-4, produced with 5 wt% of an additive, was then added to it. The structure of the additive in Example 2 is as follows: [ka] As shown.
[0078] In Example 3, a polyimide was obtained by polymerizing p-phenylenediamine and 1,3-dimethylcyclobutanetetracarboxylic acid in a molar ratio of 50:50. Polyimide PI-5, produced with 5 wt% of an additive, was then added to it. The structure of the additive in Example 3 is as follows: [ka] As shown.
[0079] Next, each of the manufactured polyimides was fired to form a film, and its mechanical hardness was tested. Furthermore, an electro-optical liquid crystal cell as shown in Figure 1 was manufactured, and the afterimage produced by the long-term AC drive was tested to verify the improvement in mechanical hardness due to the addition of additives and the improvement in afterimage (PI orientation restricting force) due to the long-term AC drive in Examples 1, 2, and 3.
[0080] In the mechanical hardness test, the test specimen was placed and fixed on the fired PI film, and the pencil was held at a 45° angle to the test specimen to prevent the lead from breaking. The test was performed by scratching the specimen about 1 cm in front of the tester at a constant speed. The scratching speed was 1 mm / s. After one scratch, the tip of the lead was resharpened, and the test should be repeated five times with a pencil of the same hardness rating. When observing and evaluating the degree of damage to the coating, if the base or undercoat was not visible in two or fewer of the five tests, the test should be replaced with a pencil with a hardness rating one order of magnitude higher, and the same test should be performed. If the coating was damaged two or more times (every five tests), the hardness rating of the pencil at that time was read, and the next hardness rating after that pencil rating was recorded. The results shown in Table 1 below were obtained.
[0081] [Table 1]
[0082] During long-term AC drive testing, an electrode-equipped substrate was prepared. The substrate was a glass substrate measuring 30 mm x 35 mm and with a thickness of 0.7 mm. An ITO electrode with a full-surface pattern was formed on the glass substrate as a counter electrode for the first layer. A SiN (silicon nitride) film, formed using CVD (chemical vapor deposition), was formed as a second layer on the counter electrode of the first layer. The thickness of the SiN film of the second layer was 500 nm. A comb-shaped pixel electrode, formed by patterning the ITO film on the SiN film of the second layer, was constructed as a third layer. The region corresponding to the pixel electrode may be considered a pixel, and furthermore, multiple pixels, such as a first pixel and a second pixel, could be obtained. The size of each pixel was 10 mm in length and approximately 5 mm in width.
[0083] At this time, the counter electrode of the first layer and the pixel electrode of the third layer were electrically insulated by 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 internal angle of 160° in the center, arranged in parallel at intervals of 6 μm. Each pixel had a first region 4111 and a second region 4112, with the line connecting the bent portions of the multiple electrode elements serving as the boundary.
[0084] Comparing the first region 4111 and the second region 4112 of each pixel, the formation direction of the electrode elements of the pixel electrodes constituting them was different. Using the rubbing direction of the liquid crystal alignment film, described later, 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 forms a +10° angle (clockwise), and in the second region 4112 of the pixel, the electrode elements of the pixel electrode 411 were formed in a manner that forms a -10° angle (clockwise). In the first region 4111 and the second region 4112 of each pixel, the direction of rotational movement of the liquid crystal within the substrate surface induced by the voltage applied between the pixel electrode 411 and the counter electrode was configured to be in opposite directions.
[0085] The polyimides PI-1, PI-2, PI-3, PI-4, and PI-5 were each fired onto the above substrate to form a uniform 100 nm film. These were then irradiated with linearly polarized ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 254 nm and an irradiation intensity of 500 mJ / cm2, and fired again to obtain substrates with polyimide alignment layers. Two of these polyimide alignment layer substrates were used as a pair, and a sealant was printed onto the substrate in a shape other than the liquid crystal injection port, so that the liquid crystal alignment film surfaces faced each other and the rubbing directions were opposite parallel. The sealant was then cured to create an empty cell with a cell gap of 3.5 μm. Negative liquid crystal MLC 2767 (manufactured by Merck) was injected into this empty cell by a reduced-pressure injection method, and the injection port was sealed to obtain an FFS type liquid crystal cell.
[0086] Furthermore, using the liquid crystal cell fabricated as described above, an AC voltage of ±6V was applied for 120 hours at a frequency of 60Hz 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 it was left at room temperature for one day. After this period, the liquid crystal cell was placed between two polarizing plates configured with orthogonal polarization axes, and the backlight was turned on with no voltage applied. The configuration angle of the liquid crystal cell was adjusted in a way that minimized the brightness of the transmitted light. The rotation angle Δ was calculated when the liquid crystal cell was rotated from the angle in which the second region 4112 of the first pixel was darkest to the angle in which the first region 4111 of the first pixel was darkest. Similarly, for the second pixel, the second region 4112 and the first region 4111 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, by adding an additive to the alignment film composition, the hardness of the manufactured alignment layer can be effectively improved, and the probability of scratching the alignment layer can be reduced. Furthermore, as can be seen from Table 2, by adopting 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 afterimage result (Δangle) can be reduced compared to the comparative additive in Comparative Example 2. The smaller the angle of the AC afterimage result (Δangle), that is, the smaller the difference from the initial state after long-term AC driving, the stronger the alignment restricting force on the liquid crystal. 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, effectively improve the alignment restricting force of the first alignment layer 21 and the second alignment layer 22 on the liquid crystal, and further improve the light leakage phenomenon of the display panel.
