Description

Polyimide for liquid crystal alignment agent and liquid crystal alignment film prepared from polyimide
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of liquid crystal display, in particular to polyimide used for a liquid crystal aligning agent and a liquid crystal aligning film prepared from the polyimide.
Background
Thin film transistor liquid crystal display devices (TFT-LCDs) have been widely used in various aspects of people's work and life because of their display advantages of high resolution, high brightness, light weight, low power consumption, and planarization. The TFT-LCD includes a liquid crystal layer interposed between two substrates and a color filter substrate, a pixel electrode and a common electrode for applying an electric field to the liquid crystal layer, an alignment film for controlling the orientation of liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer, a thin film transistor for switching an electric signal supplied to the pixel electrode, and the like. The alignment film is one of the TFT-LCD structures, and functions to uniformly align liquid crystal molecules on a substrate in one direction and to have a certain tilt angle (pretilt angle) with respect to the substrate plane. Therefore, the liquid crystal alignment film is important for improving the quality of the TFT-LCD due to its function, which is related to the display quality of the liquid crystal display device.
The liquid crystal alignment film is formed by coating and drying a liquid crystal alignment agent to form a film and then performing alignment treatment. The liquid crystal aligning agent used at present refers to an organic solution of polyamic acid or soluble polyimide. The alignment treatment method is widely used in industry, i.e., rubbing with cotton cloth or nylon along the surface of the liquid crystal alignment film in a single direction to generate grooves on the surface of the liquid crystal alignment film or to arrange molecules on the surface of the alignment film in order along the rubbing direction, thereby inducing the alignment of the liquid crystal molecules on the surface of the alignment film. However, the friction method has the following problems: the surface is liable to be scratched and chipped, static electricity is liable to be caused, in-plane treatment is not uniform, and the like, thereby causing poor display.
As an alternative to rubbing alignment, there is known a photo-alignment method in which a liquid crystal alignment film surface is irradiated with polarized ultraviolet light to align the liquid crystal. The photo-alignment method is uniform in alignment compared with the rubbing method, and does not damage the film because of non-contact alignment, so that display defects due to dust or static electricity can be reduced. The photo-alignment treatment can be divided into three methods according to the mechanism, namely, photodecomposition, photoisomerization and photocrosslinking, which are currently popular methods of photodecomposition due to poor stability in the later stage. The TFT-LCD is classified into TN (twisted nematic) mode, STN (super twisted nematic) mode, IPS (in-plane switching) mode, FFS (fringe field switching) mode, VA (vertical alignment) mode, etc. according to the state of change of the liquid crystal before and after the application of an external electric field and the driving mode, wherein IPS (in-plane switching) mode and FFS (fringe field switching) mode display modes are widely used in high-end display areas such as mobile phones, televisions, and computer displays due to their advantages of high contrast ratio, wide field of view, etc., and the above-mentioned photo-alignment processing method is helpful for improving contrast ratio and viewing angle of IPS and FFS two display modes compared with the existing rubbing alignment process. However, the photoalignment treatment has a problem of weak anchoring ability of liquid crystal compared with rubbing alignment, and an afterimage due to small anisotropy is generated after long-time ac driving.
Direct-current bias charges are generated in the driving process of the IPS and FFS type liquid crystal display elements, the direct-current bias charges accumulate along with the surface of the direct-current bias charges, and the charges accumulated during picture switching cannot be rapidly dissipated, so that the intensity of an electric field received by liquid crystals is inconsistent with the intensity of an applied electric field, and afterimages generated by the accumulation of the direct-current charges appear.
