Abstract: A liquid crystal display device using an alignment film of ladder-type organosilicone polymer or cross-linking product of cross-linkable ladder-type organosilicone polymer makes a homogeneous liquid crystal orientation, irrespectively of the kind of the liquid crystal used, never lowers its orientation ability even when fusion-sealing or sealing of the liquid crystal device is made with glass or thermosetting resin, and makes a clear display owing to the alignment film being colorless. The alignment film is insoluble in the liquid crystal used.

Abstract: Flame-retardant epoxy resin compositions comprising a polyepoxide, an acid anhydride curing agent, an imidazole curing accelerator, aluminum trihydrate powder and red phosphorus powder or red phosphorus powder coated by a thermo-setting resin have a lower viscosity and therefore show a longer pot life and better workability on casting as compared with prior art resin compositions. Also, a fly-back transformer coil produced by casting of said flame-retardant epoxy resin compositions is flame-retardant. Even if it burns slightly, no toxic gas is produced. Therefore, the coil has advantages in that a magnet wire is not corroded and voids are difficult to be formed and thereby partial discharge is difficult to occur, resulting in a long life and a stable output voltage.
