PURPOSE:To inexpensively obtain the cell for liquid crystal display which has excellent heat resistance and perpendicular orientability without adversely affecting a liquid crystal by using substrates with transparent electrodes formed by applying a soln. contg. polyamide acid having a specific structure on the substrates, then drying and calcining the coating. CONSTITUTION:The substrates with the transparent electrodes formed by applying the soln. contg. the polyamide acid having the structure expressed by formula I on the substrates, then drying and calcining the coating are used. In the formula I, m denotes a positive integer; R denotes hydrogen or alkyl group. For example, the dimethyl formamide soln. (10wt.%) of the polyamide acid having the structure expressed by formula II is thinly applied on the substrates 11 and the excess coating liquid is driven off at 2,000rpm rotating speed to form the thin film. The coated substrates obtd. in such a manner are calcined for one hour at 250 deg.C and are used as polyimide high polymer films. The cell for liquid crystal display formed by using the perpendicular orienting material which is better in mass productivity and lower than the conventional oriented substrates is obtd. by using the oriented material having no toxicity and having the heat resistance in this way.

(However, m is a positive number, and R is hydrogen or an alkyl group.) [Operation] The transparent electrode-equipped substrate of the present invention is made of tin oxide formed on a part of one surface or the entire surface by means such as vapor deposition. Alternatively, a polyimide film is produced by using a glass plate, a plastic plate, or the like having a thin film of indium oxide or the like as a transparent electrode, and applying polyamic acid to such a substrate with a transparent electrode, followed by drying and baking. Therefore, the alignment film has excellent heat resistance, which is a characteristic of polyimide resin.
