  • Patent number: 7790836
    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°.

  • Publication number: 20100151155
    Abstract: The liquid crystal alignment agent according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a soluble polyimide polymer of Formula 1 and a solvent. The soluble polyimide polymer has a number average molecular weight of about 10,000 to 500,000 g/mol, and a polydispersity of about 1.2 to about 1.75. The liquid crystal alignment agent can have good printability on a substrate, and thereby can provide a liquid crystal alignment film that can have excellent film uniformity, even though its predrying temperature is varied.

  • 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.
