The particular polymers (IIa) that is obtained by above-mentioned synthetic example 2 of 5 grams is dissolved in 120 gamma-butyrolactones that restrain to prepare a kind of solution that contains 4% solids component of weight.With having 1 tm screen purpose strainer this solution is filtered to obtain a kind of liquid crystal aligning agent solution.
The solution that obtains above is coated to transparency electrode one side of each sheet of two sheet glass substrates with a kind of ito thin film transparency electrode with the spin rate of changeing in per 3 minutes 3,000 with a spinner, and 100 ℃ of following prebakes 30 seconds.
Then, by the figure mask of liquid-crystal display that is used to be orientated feature measurement of one 3 * 3 centimetres the figure masks that are used for the liquid-crystal displays that tilt angle measures and 100 * 100 microns, substrate is exposed to by (under the wavelength of 365 nanometers 10 joules/centimetre of ultraviolet rays of sending as the metal halide lamp of light source
2Light intensity).After this, substrate is baked 1 hour to form the mulch film of 0.05 micron thickness after under 180 ℃.The quantity of specific structure unit II in the polymkeric substance that constitutes this mulch film is 92 molar percentages (mol%).
With a shredder with cylinder, under the movable workbench speed of 500 drum rotational speeds that change and 1 cel, mulch film is carried out milled processed, wherein have the nylon fabrics of a 0.6mm lamination lamination (pile compression) on every side around described cylinder.After this, with a kind of methanol vapor mulch film is cleaned the substrate that has liquid crystal orientation film with generation, wherein alignment films has definite shape and has the difference at inclination angle in the pixel.
Then, by screen printing, a kind of epoxy resin adhesive that will contain alumina particle with 17 micron diameters be applied to every substrate on the borderline region of liquid crystal orientation film one side that milled processed is crossed.Then, under pressure, two substrates are connected to each other so that the surface of liquid crystal orientation film toward each other, and caking agent is cured.
Next, (by the MLC-2001 of Merk company manufacturing) puts into the space between the substrate from a liquid crystal filling port with a kind of nematic liquid crystal, and this hole is sealed with a kind of epoxy adhesive.Polarizer links to each other so that the grinding direction one of the polarization direction of each polarizer and corresponding liquid crystal orientation film is shown the generation liquid-crystal display with two side external surfaces of substrate.
So, when the liquid-crystal display that produces is used to the tilt angle measurement, find: owing to be exposed to ultraviolet ray, and tilt angle is existed than big-difference, that is, the tilt angle of exposed region is 0.7 °, and exposed region is not 3.5 °.The orientation characteristic of liquid-crystal display all is good in these two zones.Example 2
The liquid crystal orientation film that will obtain in example 1 is used for preparing a kind of liquid-crystal display.
As shown in Figure 8, in substrate 11, form pixel area 12 and 13, and cover with liquid crystal orientation film 14.A mask 15 that is used in the irradiation step of exposure that after this will describe is positioned over a position towards the surface of substrate.According to this example, adopt traditional method in substrate 1, to form pixel area 12 and 13.Then, on the surface of whole substrate 11, form a liquid crystal orientation film 14, to cover pixel area 12 and 13.In this embodiment, be used as liquid crystal orientation film 14 to form a kind of liquid crystal orientation film of 0.05 micron thickness by the liquid crystal aligning agent that obtains in the example 1.The quantity of specific structure unit II in the polymkeric substance that forms liquid crystal orientation film is 92 molar percentages.After prebake, the mulch film of liquid crystal aligning agent will pass through milled processed.After this, liquid crystal orientation film 14 is exposed by shining 16.Whenever this can carrying out after forming liquid crystal orientation film if shining 16 step of exposure, promptly apply liquid crystal aligning agent, prebake, after cure and grinding steps after.
Using mask 15 to shine under the situation of exposure, the 15a representative of being represented by oblique line does not see through the overlay area of irradiation 16, and does not have the 15b of oblique line to represent the overlay area that sees through irradiation 16.Transmission region is similar to the photomask that generally adopts with one and is used as mask 15 in the face of the partial-pixel zone, perhaps without mask cover is discharged on the desired zone of substrate.
Owing to will shine dispensing on liquid crystal orientation film 14, therefore will use ultraviolet ray in this example.
After all illuminated exposure of upper and lower substrate that constitutes liquid-crystal display, two substrates are stacked together in such a way, promptly exposure area and unexposed area are toward each other.Therefore differently-oriented directivity owing to controlling each pixel area as the unexposed area in high dip angle zone, all can form normal and opposite visual direction in each pixel.So there is not the rapid decline of contrast gradient yet in the liquid-crystal display that obtains, and compares with 45 ° of visual angles of routine along all not having reversal development on normal and the opposite visual direction, has 80 ° of visual angles of a broad.Embodiment 3 to 18
Except that following change, repeat the step of example 1: be used to prepare liquid-crystal display by the particular polymers IIb to IIq that obtains in the synthetic example 3 to 18.Measure orientation characteristic and the tilt angle of liquid-crystal display, the results are shown in the table 1 at exposure area and unexposed area place.
