Description

液晶配向劑、液晶配向膜及液晶顯示元件Liquid crystal alignment agent, liquid crystal alignment film and liquid crystal display element

本發明為關於液晶配向劑、液晶配向膜及液晶顯示元件。The present invention relates to a liquid crystal alignment agent, a liquid crystal alignment film and a liquid crystal display element.

以往以來,液晶顯示裝置被廣泛地作為個人電腦、智慧型手機、行動電話、電視接收器等的顯示部使用。液晶顯示裝置具備有例如:被挾持在元件基板與彩色濾光片基板之間的液晶層、對於液晶層外加電場的像素電極及共通電極、控制液晶層之液晶分子之配向性的配向膜、切換供給於像素電極之電訊號的薄膜電晶體(TFT)等。作為液晶分子之驅動方式,已知有TN方式、VA方式等的縱向電場方式或IPS方式、FFS(邊緣電場切換)方式等的橫向電場方式。Conventionally, liquid crystal display devices have been widely used as display units of personal computers, smart phones, mobile phones, television receivers, and the like. The liquid crystal display device includes, for example, a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between an element substrate and a color filter substrate, a pixel electrode and a common electrode to which an electric field is applied to the liquid crystal layer, an alignment film that controls the alignment of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer, and a switching device. Thin film transistors (TFTs), etc., which supply electrical signals to the pixel electrodes. As a driving method of liquid crystal molecules, a vertical electric field method such as a TN method and a VA method, and a lateral electric field method such as an IPS method and an FFS (Fringe Field Switching) method are known.

現今,工業上最普及的液晶配向膜,係藉由將形成在電極基板上的含有聚醯胺酸及/或將該聚醯胺酸醯亞胺化而得的聚醯亞胺所組成之膜的表面,以綿、尼龍、聚酯等的布朝一個方向擦拭(亦即,進行摩擦處理)來製作。摩擦處理係簡便且生產性優異的工業上有用之方法。然而,隨著液晶顯示元件的高性能化、高精細化、大型化,由於以摩擦處理所產生的配向膜表面的傷痕、發塵、機械性力量或靜電而造成影響,進而,配向處理面內的不均勻性等的各種問題已非常明確。作為取代摩擦處理的配向處理方法,已知有藉由照射經偏光的放射線,來賦予液晶配向能之光配向法。光配向法係已提案有利用光異構化反應者、利用光交聯反應者、利用光分解反應者等(參考非專利文獻1、專利文獻1)。At present, the most popular liquid crystal alignment film in the industry is a film composed of a polyimide formed on an electrode substrate and/or a polyimide obtained by imidizing the polyamic acid. The surface is made by wiping (that is, rubbing) with a cloth such as cotton, nylon, polyester, etc. in one direction. The rubbing treatment is an industrially useful method that is simple and excellent in productivity. However, with the increase in performance, definition, and size of liquid crystal display elements, scratches, dust generation, mechanical force, or static electricity on the surface of the alignment film caused by the rubbing treatment are affected. Various problems such as the inhomogeneity of the As an alignment treatment method in place of the rubbing treatment, a photo-alignment method for imparting alignment energy to a liquid crystal by irradiating polarized radiation is known. As the photo-alignment method, those utilizing a photoisomerization reaction, a photocrosslinking reaction, a photolysis reaction, and the like have been proposed (refer to Non-Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 1).

液晶顯示元件之構成構件的液晶配向膜,其係用來使液晶均勻地配列之膜,液晶配向性是重要特性之一。然而,利用上述光配向法所得到的液晶配向膜,相較於利用以往的摩擦處理所得到的液晶配向膜,具有液晶配向性變低之傾向,而具備該液晶配向膜的液晶顯示裝置之適用範圍係受到限制。 [先前技術文獻] [專利文獻]A liquid crystal alignment film, which is a constituent member of a liquid crystal display element, is a film for uniformly arranging liquid crystals, and liquid crystal alignment is one of the important characteristics. However, the liquid crystal alignment film obtained by the above-mentioned photo-alignment method has a tendency that the liquid crystal alignment is lower than that of the liquid crystal alignment film obtained by the conventional rubbing treatment. The range is limited. [Prior Art Literature] [Patent Literature]

[發明所欲解決之課題][The problem to be solved by the invention]

又,實際的液晶顯示元件,會因為製造上的不均等而造成於液晶顯示元件面內的扭轉角度(twist angle)的些微不均。如此一來,起因於如此般的面內不均,會造成液晶顯示元件的黑色顯示時的亮度於面內為不均之情況。 本發明為有鑑於上述情事而完成之發明,目的之一為提供一種適合於光配向法用的液晶配向劑,可得到具有高的液晶配向性、黑色顯示時於面內的亮度不均為受到抑制且對比度為經提升的液晶顯示元件。 [解決課題之手段]In addition, in actual liquid crystal display elements, slight variations in twist angles within the plane of the liquid crystal display element are caused by nonuniformity in manufacturing. In this way, due to such in-plane unevenness, the luminance at the time of black display of the liquid crystal display element may be uneven in the plane. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and one of the objects is to provide a liquid crystal aligning agent suitable for a photo-alignment method, which can obtain a liquid crystal aligning agent with high liquid crystal alignability, and in-plane brightness unevenness during black display is not affected.

By setting it as such a structure, the liquid crystal display element which is high in liquid crystal alignment property and excellent in contrast can be obtained.

在此,上述條件(3)的所謂的「來自於胺基的二個碳-氮鍵結軸相互為平行」,係意味著利用球・棒狀的分子結構模型(例如丸善出版公司製HGS分子結構模型)來表示芳香族二胺時,可將來自於胺基的二個碳-氮鍵結軸以成為相互平行之方式配置之情形。又,上述條件(2)的所謂的「來自於胺基的二個碳-氮鍵結軸相互不為平行」,係意味著利用球・棒狀的分子結構模型來表示芳香族二胺時,無法將來自於胺基的二個碳-氮鍵結軸以成為相互平行之方式配置之情形。Here, the so-called "two carbon-nitrogen bond axes derived from the amine group are parallel to each other" in the above condition (3) means that a ball-and-rod molecular structure model (for example, HGS molecule manufactured by Maruzen Publishing Co., Ltd.) is used. When an aromatic diamine is represented by a structural model), the two carbon-nitrogen bonding axes derived from the amine group can be arranged so as to be parallel to each other. In addition, the so-called "two carbon-nitrogen bond axes derived from the amine group are not parallel to each other" in the above condition (2) means that when the aromatic diamine is represented by a spherical/rod-shaped molecular structure model, It is impossible to arrange the two carbon-nitrogen bonding axes derived from the amine group so as to be parallel to each other.

作為上述以外的方法,例如,使用分子模擬(Chem3D Ultra Version 16.0.1.4),藉由預設MM2力場設定來進行,並使最小(均方根)RMS梯度收斂於0.010來進行分子結構的最佳化及能量最低化時,將來自於胺基的二個碳-氮鍵結軸以成為相互平行之方式配置之情形,定義為上述條件(3)的「來自於胺基的二個碳-氮鍵結軸相互為平行」;將來自於胺基的二個碳-氮鍵結軸無法成為相互平行之方式配置之情形,定義為上述條件(2)的「來自於胺基的二個碳-氮鍵結軸相互不為平行」。As a method other than the above, for example, using molecular simulation (Chem3D Ultra Version 16.0.1.4), the optimization of the molecular structure is performed with the preset MM2 force field setting and the minimum (root mean square) RMS gradient is converged to 0.010. In the case of optimization and energy minimization, the case where the two carbon-nitrogen bonding axes derived from the amine group are arranged so as to be parallel to each other is defined as "the two carbon-nitrogen bonds derived from the amine group" in the above condition (3). The nitrogen bond axes are parallel to each other"; the case where the two carbon-nitrogen bond axes derived from the amine group cannot be arranged so as to be parallel to each other is defined as "the two carbon-nitrogen bond axes derived from the amine group" in the above condition (2) - The nitrogen bond axes are not parallel to each other".
