Provided are: a
liquid crystal aligning agent which contains two or more polyamic acids and in which deterioration in
liquid crystal aligning properties when stored at
room temperature is suppressed; a
liquid crystal alignment film obtained from the liquid
crystal aligning agent; and a
liquid crystal display element. The liquid
crystal aligning agent is characterized by containing the following
polymer (A) and
polymer (B).
Polymer (A): a
polyamic acid (A) having a
structural unit derived from a tetracarboxylic
acid derivative and a
structural unit derived from a
diamine, the
polyamic acid containing, as the
structural unit derived from the tetracarboxylic
acid derivative, a structural unit (a-1Ta) represented by formula (1Ta), and containing, as the structural unit derived from the
diamine, a structural unit (a-1Da) represented by formula (1Da), at least a part of the terminal of the
polyamic acid (A) contains a non-amino group, the non-amino group is a functional group represented by
structural formula (E), and the presence rate of the terminal amino group in the polyamic acid (A) is 60% or less based on the total terminal of the polyamic acid (A).
Polymer (B): a polyamic acid (B) having a structural unit derived from a tetracarboxylic
acid derivative and a structural unit derived from a
diamine, the polyamic acid including a structural unit (b-1Tb) represented by formula (1Tb) as the structural unit derived from the tetracarboxylic acid derivative, and including a structural unit (b-1Db) represented by formula (1Db) as the structural unit derived from the diamine.
