於特定溫度範圍內具有液晶性的感光性側鏈型丙烯酸聚合物之聚合反應所使用的有機溶劑,例如,只要可溶解所生成的聚合物之溶劑時,並未有特別之限定。其具體例,如以下所列舉之內容。 [0215] N,N-二甲基甲醯胺、N,N-二甲基乙醯胺、N-甲基-2-吡咯啶酮、N-乙基-2-吡咯啶酮、N-甲基己內醯胺、二甲基亞碸、四甲基尿素、吡啶、二甲基碸、六甲基亞碸、γ-丁內酯、異丙醇、甲氧基甲基戊醇、二戊烯、乙基戊酮、甲基壬酮、甲基乙酮、甲基異戊酮、甲基異丙酮、甲基溶纖劑、乙基溶纖劑、甲基溶纖劑(cellosolve)乙酸酯、乙基溶纖劑(cellosolve)乙酸酯、丁基卡必醇、乙基卡必醇、乙二醇、乙二醇單乙酸酯、乙二醇單異丙醚、乙二醇單丁醚、丙二醇、丙二醇單乙酸酯、丙二醇單甲醚、丙二醇-tert-丁醚、二丙二醇單甲醚、二乙二醇、二乙二醇單乙酸酯、二乙二醇二甲醚、二丙二醇單乙酸酯單甲醚、二丙二醇單甲醚、二丙二醇單***、二丙二醇單乙酸酯單***、二丙二醇單丙醚、二丙二醇單乙酸酯單丙醚、3-甲基-3-甲氧基丁基乙酸酯、三丙二醇甲醚、3-甲基-3-甲氧基丁醇、二異丙醚、乙基異丁醚、二異丁酯、戊基乙酸酯、丁基丁酸酯、丁醚、二異丁酮、甲基環己烯、丙醚、二己醚、二噁烷、n-己烷、n-戊烷、n-辛烷、二***、環己酮、乙烯碳酸酯、丙烯碳酸酯、乳酸甲酯、乳酸乙酯、乙酸甲酯、乙酸乙酯、乙酸n-丁酯、乙酸丙二醇單***、丙酮酸甲酯、丙酮酸乙酯、3-甲氧基丙酸甲酯、3-乙氧基丙酸甲基乙酯、3-甲氧基丙酸乙酯、3-乙氧基丙酸、3-甲氧基丙酸、3-甲氧基丙酸丙酯、3-甲氧基丙酸丁酯、二乙二醇二醚(glyme)、4-羥基-4-甲基-2-戊酮、3-甲氧基-N,N-二甲基丙烷醯胺、3-乙氧基-N,N-二甲基丙烷醯胺、3-丁氧基-N,N-二甲基丙烷醯胺等。 [0216] 該些有機溶劑可單獨使用亦可、混合使用亦可。又,即使為不會溶解所生成的高分子之溶劑時,只要為不會析出所生成的高分子之範圍,亦可以與上述有機溶劑混合使用。 [0217] 又,自由基聚合中,因有機溶劑中之氧為阻礙聚合反應之原因,故有機溶劑以使用盡可能地脫氣者為佳。 [0218] 自由基聚合之際的聚合溫度,可選擇30℃~150℃間的任意之溫度,較佳為50℃~100℃之範圍。又,反應雖可於任意濃度下進行,但濃度過低時,將不易製得高分子量之聚合物,濃度過高時,因會使反應液的黏性過度增高,而不容易進行均勻的攪拌,故單體濃度,較佳為1質量%~50質量%,更佳為5質量%~30質量%。反應初期可先以高濃度進行,隨後,再追加有機溶劑亦可。 [0219] 上述之自由基聚合反應中,自由基聚合起始劑之比例相對於單體為過多時,將會降低所得高分子之分子量,過少時將會增大所得高分子之分子量,故自由基起始劑之比例,相對於進行聚合之單體,以0.1莫耳%~10莫耳%為佳。又於聚合時亦可追加各種單體成份或溶劑、起始劑等。 [0220] [於特定溫度範圍內具有液晶性的感光性側鏈型丙烯酸聚合物之回收]

Then, residues generated by friction generated by ultrasonic cleaning are removed using pure water, alcohol, or the like. A specific example of the photo-alignment treatment method, for example, a method of irradiating the surface of the coating film with radiation that is deviated in a specific direction, and depending on the situation, heat treatment can be performed at a temperature of 150-250 ° C to give the liquid crystal alignment ability. Wait. As the radiation, for example, ultraviolet rays and visible rays having wavelengths of 100 nm to 800 nm can be used. Among them, ultraviolet rays with wavelengths of 100 nm to 400 nm are preferable, and those with wavelengths of 200 nm to 400 nm are particularly preferable. Moreover, for the purpose of improving the liquid crystal alignment, the coated substrate may be irradiated with radiation during heating at 50 to 250°C. The irradiation dose of the aforementioned radiation is 1~10,000mJ/cm 2 Preferably, 100~5,000mJ/cm 2 Excellent. The liquid crystal alignment film prepared in the above manner can stably align liquid crystal molecules in a specific direction.

[0249] The heating temperature, for example, is preferably 150 to 300°C. When the temperature is higher, the realignment of the molecular chain can be promoted, but when the temperature is too high, the molecular chain may be decomposed. Therefore, the heating temperature is, for example, preferably 180 to 250°C, and particularly preferably 200 to 230°C. When the heating time is too short, the effect of realignment of the molecular chain may not be obtained, and when it is too long, the molecular chain may be decomposed, so 10 seconds to 30 minutes is preferred, and 1 10 minutes to 10 minutes is preferred.

[0258] Next, on each substrate, the liquid crystal alignment film of the present invention is formed according to the above method. [0259] Next, the substrate on one side and the substrate on the other side are overlapped with the alignment film surfaces facing each other, and the periphery thereof is bonded with a sealant. The sealant is usually mixed with spacers for the purpose of controlling the gap between the substrates and the like. In addition, it is also preferable to spread spacers for controlling the gap between the substrates in the in-plane portion where the sealant is not provided. A part of the sealant is provided with an opening that can be filled with liquid crystal from the outside.
