Abstract: An alignment film for avoiding the degradation of the charge holding rate of a LCD, due to ionic impurity of the liquid crystal materials, and the LCD that is made of the same is disclosed herein. The alignment film 10 includes derivatives of polyimides or polyamides and low molecular thermosetting resins having a viscosity of 1–3000 Poise within the temperature of 25° C. Through the use of the alignment film 10 produced by the thermosetting resin monomers, the ionic impurity is prevented from contact with the pixel electrode 16. The performance of the LCD with the alignment film is improved during the test of reliability, even though a liquid crystal material with high dielectric anisotropy is used.

Abstract: A conduction inhibitor including an epoxy resin or the like is mixed into a liquid crystal material. Specifically, the conduction inhibitor is formed by a bisphenol F epoxy resin, and mixing proportion is set to 0.1 wt % to 10 wt %. When such a conduction inhibitor is mixed, electrical conduction caused by ions due to an impurity or the like existing in the liquid crystal material can be suppressed, thereby maintaining a voltage holding ratio high when a liquid crystal display cell and a liquid crystal display are structured by using the liquid crystal material.
