Abstract: The present invention provides a photo-alignment layer for a liquid crystal display device, which has good liquid crystal display device characteristics such as a good voltage holding ratio and also has good alignment stability and sufficient resistance to light and heat. The photo-alignment layer is manufactured by coating a polymerizable monomer having at least one photo-alignment moiety, which carries out a photo-alignment function by the photo dimerization reaction, and at least two polymerizable maleimide groups per molecule on a substrate, and exposing the coating layer to light to cause the photo dimerization reaction of the structural unit and the photopolymerization reaction of the polymerizable maleimide group, thereby to form a crosslinked polymeric layer and to enable the polymeric layer to carry out the photo-alignment function.

Abstract: A photo-alignment layer having excellent long-term stability to light and heat is manufactured by coating a material for the photo-alignment layer, which contains a dichroic dye having two or more polymerizable groups per molecule, on a substrate, and exposing the coating layer to polarized light, thereby imparting a photo-alignment function, and polymerizing the polymerizable groups by heating or light exposure.
