  • Diamine compound having dendron side chain and liquid crystal aligning agent using same
    Publication number: 20060149029
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a novel functional diamine compound having a dendron structure, polyamic acid which is produced using functional diamine, aromatic cyclic diamine, aliphatic cyclic acid dianhydride, and aromatic cyclic acid dianhydride, polyimide which is produced by imidizing polyamic acid, and an LC alignment film produced using polyimide. Even if the diamine compound is used in a small amount, it is possible to realize a high pretilt angle, thus the pretilt angle is easily controlled. Therefore, it can be used to produce an LC alignment film using a twisted nematic (TN) mode, in which the pretilt angle of liquid crystal is low, and a vertically aligned (VA) mode, which requires a high pretilt angle of about 90°.

  • Diamine compound containing triazine group, polyamic acid synthesized from the diamine compound and lc alignment film prepared from the polyamic acid
    Publication number: 20060149028
    Abstract: Diamine compound containing specific triazine group, polyamic acid obtained by reacting the diamine compound and tetracarboxylic dianhydride, and liquid crystal alignment film obtained by coating and imidizing the polyamic acid. The liquid crystal alignment film has good heat-resistance, high transparency in visible light region and improved voltage holding ratio. Also, pretilt angle is easily controlled over broad range.
