本發明的液晶配向膜的特徵在於具有特別大的配向各向異性。此種各向異性的大小可利用日本專利特開2005-275364號公報等中記載的使用偏光IR的方法進行評價。另外,如以下所示,亦可藉由使用橢圓偏光儀(ellipsometry)的方法來進行評價。詳細而言,可藉由分光橢圓儀測定液晶配向膜的延遲值。膜的延遲值與聚合物主鏈的配向度成比例地變大。即,具有大的延遲值者具有大的配向度。因此,認為於將其作為液晶配向膜而使用的情況下,該液晶配向膜具有更大的各向異性,因此可對液晶組成物大幅度地進行配向限制。The liquid crystal alignment film of the present invention is characterized by having particularly large alignment anisotropy. The magnitude of such anisotropy can be evaluated by a method using polarized IR described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-275364 and the like. In addition, as shown below, evaluation can also be performed by a method using an ellipsometry. Specifically, the retardation value of the liquid crystal alignment film can be measured by a spectroscopic ellipsometer. The retardation value of the film becomes larger in proportion to the degree of alignment of the polymer backbone. That is, a person having a large delay value has a large degree of alignment. Therefore, when it is used as a liquid crystal alignment film, it is considered that this liquid crystal alignment film has greater anisotropy, and therefore, the alignment of the liquid crystal composition can be significantly restricted.

本發明的液晶配向膜可適宜用於橫電場方式的液晶顯示元件。於用於橫電場方式的液晶顯示元件的情況下,預傾(Pt)角越小,另外液晶配向能力越高,暗狀態下的黑顯示位準越變高,對比度越提高。預傾(Pt)角理想的是1.5°以下,更理想的是1.2°以下。因此,根據本發明的實施形態,所述液晶配向劑可用於橫電場型液晶顯示元件的製造。另外,根據本發明的實施形態,提供一種橫電場型液晶顯示元件,其具有所述液晶配向膜。The liquid crystal alignment film of this invention can be used suitably for the liquid crystal display element of a horizontal electric field system.

The pretilt (Pt) angle is preferably 1.5 ° or less, and more preferably 1.2 ° or less. Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the liquid crystal alignment agent can be used for manufacturing a liquid crystal display element of a transverse electric field type. In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a lateral electric field type liquid crystal display element including the liquid crystal alignment film.

以下,藉由實施例對本發明進行說明,但本發明並不限定於該些實施例。再者,實施例中使用的評價法及化合物如下所述。Hereinafter, the present invention will be described by examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. The evaluation methods and compounds used in the examples are as follows.

1. 重量平均分子量(Mw) 聚醯胺酸的重量平均分子量是使用2695分離模組·2414示差折射計(沃特世(Waters)製造)並藉由GPC法測定且進行聚苯乙烯換算而求出。以聚醯胺酸濃度為約2重量%的方式利用磷酸-DMF混合溶液(磷酸/DMF=0.6/100:重量比)對所獲得的聚醯胺酸進行稀釋。管柱是使用HSPgel RT MB-M(沃特世(Waters)製造),並且將所述混合溶液作為展開劑且以管柱溫度50℃、流速0.40 mL/分鐘的條件進行測定。標準聚苯乙烯使用東曹(Tosoh)(股)製造的TSK標準聚苯乙烯。 2. 預傾角(Pt角) 利用中央精機(股)製造的液晶評價裝置(OMS-CA3)於室溫下進行測定。為了獲得廣視角,理想的是1.5°以下,更理想的是1.2°以下。 3. DC殘像評價 施加10分鐘的30 Hz、3 V的矩形波後,重疊20分鐘的0.3 V的直流電壓。將直流電壓設為0 V後,再次施加20分鐘的3 V的矩形波。直流電壓重疊時的電荷的吸收越快,成為非對稱的AC驅動時的殘留DC越小,越難以產生DC殘像,因此將重疊直流電壓後至經過二十分鐘為止閃爍消除電壓成為0.15 V以下的情況定義評價為DC殘像為「○」,將為0.1 V以下的情況定義評價為DC殘像為「◎」。將重疊直流電壓後至經過二十分鐘為止閃爍消除電壓並未成為0.15 V以下的情況定義評價為DC殘像為「×」。 4. 電壓保持率 利用「水嶋他,第14次液晶討論會草稿集 p78(1988)」中記載的方法進行。測定是對單元(cell)施加頻率30 Hz、波高±5 V的矩形波而進行。測定是於60℃下進行。該值是表示所施加的電壓於框週期後以何種程度保持的指標,該值若為100%,則表示保持有所有的電荷。若值為99.5%以上,則為顯示品質良好的液晶顯示元件。1. Weight-average molecular weight (Mw) The weight-average molecular weight of polyamic acid is determined by GPC method using a 2695 separation module and a 2414 differential refractometer (manufactured by Waters) and converting it to polystyrene. Out. The obtained polyamic acid was diluted with a phosphoric acid-DMF mixed solution (phosphoric acid / DMF = 0.6 / 100: weight ratio) so that the polyamic acid concentration was about 2% by weight. The column was measured using HSPgel RT MB-M (manufactured by Waters), and the mixed solution was used as a developing agent at a column temperature of 50 ° C and a flow rate of 0.40 mL / min. As the standard polystyrene, TSK standard polystyrene manufactured by Tosoh Co., Ltd. was used. 2. Pre-tilt angle (Pt angle) was measured at room temperature using a liquid crystal evaluation device (OMS-CA3) manufactured by Chuo Seiki Co., Ltd. In order to obtain a wide viewing angle, it is preferably 1.5 ° or less, and more preferably 1.2 ° or less. 3. DC residual image evaluation After applying a rectangular wave of 30 Hz and 3 V for 10 minutes, a DC voltage of 0.3 V was superimposed for 20 minutes. After setting the DC voltage to 0 V, a 3 V rectangular wave was applied again for 20 minutes. The faster the charge is absorbed when the DC voltages overlap, the smaller the residual DC during asymmetric AC driving, and the more difficult it is to generate a DC afterimage. Therefore, the flicker elimination voltage will be 0.15 V or less after 20 minutes after the DC voltage is superimposed. In the case definition evaluation, the DC residual image is "○", and when the case is 0.1 V or less, the DC residual image is evaluated as "◎". The case where the flicker elimination voltage did not become 0.15 V or less after the lapse of twenty minutes after the DC voltage was superimposed was defined as a "×" afterimage in DC. 4. Voltage holding ratio It was performed by the method described in "Minamata, Draft Collection of the 14th LCD Symposium p78 (1988)". The measurement was performed by applying a rectangular wave having a frequency of 30 Hz and a wave height of ± 5 V to the cell. The measurement was performed at 60 ° C. This value is an index indicating how much the applied voltage is maintained after the frame period. If the value is 100%, it indicates that all the charges are maintained. If the value is 99.5% or more, it is a liquid crystal display element with good display quality.
