Abstract: Provided are a photoreactive polymer that includes a multi-cyclicmulticyclic compound at as its main chain and a method of preparing the same. The photoreactive polymer exhibits excellent thermal stability since it includes a multi-cyclicmulticyclic compound having a high glass transition temperature at as its main chain. In addition, the photoreactive polymer has a relatively large vacancy so that a photoreactive group can move relatively freely in the main chain therein. As a result, a slow photoreaction rate, which is a disadvantage of a conventional polymer material used to form an alignment layer for a liquid crystal display device, can be overcome.

Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-functional monomer including a heat-curable functional group as well as a typical photoreactive group. In the multi-functional monomer, the photoreactive group is not chained to a main chain of a polymer. Thus, since it is possible to perform desirable alignment treatment even though polarized UV is radiated for a short time, the production time and the production cost are reduced and alignment regulating force of liquid crystals is increased, thereby increasing a dichroic ratio.

The photosensitive composition according to the present invention has good sensitivity, retention rate, mechanical strength, heat resistance, chemical resistance and developing durability since it contains, as photopolymerization initiator, a compound having an oxime ester group and a triazine group in one molecule and thus effectively absorbs UV radiation. Therefore, the photosensitive composition according to the present invention is advantageous not only in curing of materials for color filters, resin black matrixes, column spacers, overcoats and passivation films of liquid crystal displays, but also in high temperature process characteristics.
