  • Publication number: 20080213509
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an LC aligning agent using diamine having dendron side chains. In detail, the present invention relates to a composition for an LC alignment film which employs diamine having dendron side chains to produce polyamic acid, followed by imidization. When the LC alignment film is applied to a liquid crystal display device, high heat resistance, high penetration in a visible ray range, excellent alignment, and a high voltage holding ratio are assured. Even though it contains a small amount of functional diamine, a high pretilt angle can be assured. Thus, the pretilt angle is easily controlled and a vertical aligning force is improved.

  • Patent number: 7307139
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a novel diamine compound having a dendron side chain and a liquid crystal alignment material produced using the diamine compound. Specifically, the diamine compound is used to prepare a polyamic acid, which is then used to produce the liquid crystal alignment material. According to the liquid crystal alignment material, the pretilt angle of a liquid crystal is easy to control, and the alignment properties of a liquid crystal are good. Particularly, since the liquid crystal alignment material shows superior chemical resistance to washing solvents used in LCD panel fabrication processes, it has an advantage in that the alignment properties of a liquid crystal are not degraded even after washing.
