The invention relates to a
liquid crystal aligning agent, a
liquid crystal aligning film and a
liquid crystal display element. The invention provides a liquid
crystal aligning agent which is provided with an excellent pretilt angle property by an
optical alignment method, and can form a liquit
crystal aligning film which does not result in poor display performance even when drived continuously for a long time. The liquit
crystal aligning agent contains: (A)
polyamide acid A, which is obtained by allowing tetracarboxylic dianhydride to react with diamines containing a
diamine with a photoreactive structure; (B)
polyamide acid B, which is obtained by allowing at least one tetracarboxylic dianhydride selected from a group composed of 1, 2, 3, 4-
cyclobutane tetracarboxylic dianhydride,
pyromellitic dianhydride to react with at least one
diamine selected from a group composed of 2, 2'-dimethyl-4, 4'-diaminobiphenyl, p-phenylenediamine, 4, 4'-diaminodiphenylmethane, 4, 4'-
diaminodiphenyl ether (with the
polyamide acid A excluded).
