Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a liquid crystal alignment agent comprising a polyoxyalkylene obtained by polycondensing an alkoxysilane; and a liquid crystal alignment film obtained by the liquid crystal alignment agent. And a liquid crystal display element having the liquid crystal alignment film. [Prior Art] In recent years, among liquid crystal display elements, vertical (VA) liquid crystal display elements are being widely used for large-screen LCD TVs or high-definition mobile applications (digital cameras or mobile phone display units). )Wait. In the VA type, it is known to form a MVA type (Multi Vertical Alignment) for controlling a protrusion in a falling direction of a liquid crystal on a TFT substrate or a color filter substrate, or to form a slit in an ITO electrode of a substrate, which is controlled by an electric field. PVA type (Paterned Vertical Alignment) in the liquid crystal falling direction. Other VA alignment methods include PSA type (Polymer susutained Alignment). Among the V A formulas, the P S A type is a technique that has attracted attention in recent years. In this method, a photopolymerizable compound is added to the liquid crystal, and after the liquid crystal panel is produced, an electric field is applied, and the liquid crystal panel is irradiated with UV in a state where the liquid crystal falls. Thereby, the polymerizable compound undergoes photopolymerization, and the alignment direction of the liquid crystal is fixed, and the pretilt' reaction rate is increased. In the VA type, a slit is formed in one side electrode of the liquid crystal panel, and even if the electrode pattern on the opposite side is not provided with a protrusion like MVA or a slit like PVA, the function is simplified or Excellent panel transmittance can be obtained. -5-201107375 (refer to Patent Document 1) On the other hand, an organic liquid crystal alignment film material is known in addition to an organic liquid crystal alignment film material such as polyimide. For example, it has been reported in the literature that a liquid crystal alignment agent composition containing a reaction product of a tetraalkanoxane, a trialkoxide, an alcohol, and an oxalic acid is used as a material of a coating type inorganic alignment film, and is formed on an electrode substrate of a liquid crystal display element. A liquid crystal alignment film excellent in vertical alignment, heat resistance, and uniformity. (Refer to Patent Document 2) Further, it has been reported in the literature to prevent formation by using a liquid crystal alignment agent composition containing a reaction product of a tetraalkanoxane, a specific trialkoxysilane, and water and a specific glycol ether solvent. A liquid crystal alignment film which does not cause a decrease in liquid crystal alignment ability and has a low voltage retention rate of light and heat, which exhibits poor after-image characteristics after long-term driving. (Patent Document 3) PRIOR ART DOCUMENT Patent Document Patent Document 1: JP-A-2004-3 0206 No. 1 Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 09-28 No. 502 Patent Document 3: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-250244 [Invention] [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventionally, in a PSA liquid crystal display device, the solubility of a polymerizable compound added to a liquid crystal is low, and when the amount of addition is increased, it is precipitated at a low temperature. - 201107375 This is the problem. On the other hand, when the amount of the polymerizable compound added is reduced, a good alignment state cannot be obtained.

Oligomer. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Further, it is suitable to use a known agent, a surfactant, and the like, and it is easy to use a known product, particularly a commercially available product. Further, the method of mixing the above-mentioned other components with polyoxymethane may be carried out simultaneously with or after the polysiloxane, and is not particularly limited. [Liquid crystal alignment agent] The liquid crystal alignment agent of the present invention dissolves the above polysiloxane in a solvent, and if necessary, contains other components in a dissolved or dispersed manner. As the solvent, a solvent selected from the group consisting of a polymerization solvent of the above polyoxyalkylene and a solvent may be used. The polysiloxane content in the liquid crystal alignment agent is preferably from 0.5 to 15% by mass, preferably from 1 to 6% by mass, based on the Si〇2 conversion concentration. As long as such a concentration in the range of SiO 2 is applied, the desired film thickness can be easily obtained by one application, and the usable time of the solution is likely to be sufficient. The method of preparing the liquid crystal alignment agent of the present invention is not particularly limited. The polyoxyalkylene used in the present invention may be in a state of being uniformly mixed with other components to be added as necessary. It is usually a polycondensation of polyoxyalkylene in a solvent -20- 201107375. Therefore, it is convenient to use a solution of polyoxyalkylene directly, or to add other components in a solution of polyoxyalkylene as necessary. Even the method of directly using a polymerization solution of polyoxyalkylene is the easiest. Further, when adjusting the content of the polyoxyalkylene in the liquid crystal alignment agent, a solvent selected from the group consisting of the above-mentioned polymerization solvent of polyoxyalkylene and a solvent may be used. [Liquid Crystal Alignment Film] The liquid crystal alignment film of the present invention is obtained by using the above liquid crystal alignment agent. For example, the liquid crystal alignment agent of the present invention can be applied to a substrate, dried, and fired, and the obtained cured film can be directly used as a liquid crystal alignment film. Further, the cured film may be subjected to rubbing, irradiation of polarized light or light of a specific wavelength, or treatment such as ion beam, or may be used as an alignment film for PSA, and the liquid crystal display element after charging the liquid crystal is The state in which the voltage is applied is irradiated with UV. In particular, it is advantageous to use a substrate in which a liquid crystal alignment agent is applied as an alignment film for ps A, and is not particularly limited as long as it is a substrate having high transparency, and a transparent electrode for driving a liquid crystal is formed on the substrate. The substrate is preferred. Specific examples include glass plates, polycarbonates, poly(meth)acrylates, polyether oximes, polyaromatic esters, polyurethanes, polyfluorenes, polyethers, polyether ketones, and trimethyl groups. a substrate for forming a transparent electrode such as a pentene, a polyolefin, a polyethylene terephthalate, a (meth)acrylonitrile, a triethylenesulfonyl cellulose, a diethyl cellulose, a cellulose acetate butyrate or the like . -21 - 201107375 The coating method of the liquid crystal alignment agent includes a spin coating method, a printing method, an inkjet method, a spray method, a light coating method, and the like, and it is industrially A widely used transfer method is also suitable for use in the present invention. The drying step after the application of the liquid crystal alignment agent is not necessarily required, and the case where the baking time is not fixed after the application of each substrate or the case where the baking is not performed immediately after the coating is performed. It is preferred to include a drying step. This drying is not particularly limited as long as the solvent is removed until the shape of the coating film is not deformed by the conveyance of the substrate or the like. The drying means is not particularly limited. For example, a method of drying at a temperature of 40 ° C to 150 ° C (preferably 60 ° C to 1 0 0 ° C) for 0.5 to 30 minutes (preferably 1 to 5 minutes) is exemplified. . The coating film formed by coating the liquid crystal alignment agent by the above method can be fired to form a cured film. In this case, the firing temperature may be carried out at any temperature of from 100 ° C to 3 50 ° C, and is preferably from 140 ° C to 300 ° C, preferably from 150 ° C to 230 ° C, more preferably 160. °C ~ 220 °C. The firing time can be carried out at any time from 5 minutes to 240 minutes. It should be 10 to 90 minutes, preferably 20 to 90 minutes. The heating is usually a well-known method, and for example, a hot plate, a hot air circulating oven, an IR oven, a belt furnace, or the like can be used. The polyoxyalkylene in the liquid crystal alignment film is subjected to polycondensation in the firing step. However, in the present invention, it is not necessary to completely condense the condensation as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. However, the firing temperature is preferably at least 1 ton higher than the temperature of the heat treatment such as hardening of the sealant which is necessary for the production process of the liquid crystal cell. -22-201107375 The thickness of the cured film can be selected as necessary, and is preferably 5 nm or more, preferably 1 〇 nm or more. In this case, the reliability of the liquid crystal display element can be easily obtained, which is suitable. Further, the thickness of the cured film is preferably 300 nm or less, preferably 15 nm or less. In this case, the power consumption of the liquid crystal display element does not become extremely large, which is suitable. <Liquid Crystal Display Element> The liquid crystal display element of the present invention can be produced by a known method to form a liquid crystal cell after forming a liquid crystal alignment film on a substrate by the above method. In the case of the liquid crystal cell production, in general, a spacer is sandwiched between a pair of substrates on which a liquid crystal alignment film is formed, and a sealing agent is fixed, and a liquid crystal is injected and sealed. The spacer used at this time has a size of 1 to 30 μm, and preferably 2 to ΙΟμιη. The method of injecting the liquid crystal is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a vacuum method in which a liquid crystal is produced by depressurizing the liquid crystal, and a dropping method in which a liquid crystal is dropped and then sealed. The liquid crystal used in the PS-type liquid crystal display device is a liquid crystal to which a small amount of a photopolymerizable compound (typically 0.2 to 1% by weight) is added. By applying UV irradiation in a state where a voltage is applied between the substrate electrodes on both sides of the liquid crystal cell into which the liquid crystal is introduced, the polymerizable compound is polymerized on the spot to be crosslinked, and the reaction speed of the liquid crystal display is increased. The voltage applied here is 5 to 3 〇 Vp-p, and preferably 5 to 20 Vp-p. The UV irradiation amount of the irradiation is 1 to 6 〇J, and preferably 40 J or less, and the amount of UV irradiation is small, the reliability of the damage of the member constituting the liquid crystal display can be suppressed, and the UV irradiation can be reduced between -23 and 201107375. It is suitable for improving the efficiency of manufacturing. The substrate used for the liquid crystal display device is not particularly limited as long as it is a substrate having high transparency, and is usually a substrate on which a transparent electrode for driving a liquid crystal is formed on a substrate. The specific example is the same as the substrate described in [Liquid Crystal Alignment Film]. The substrate for the P s A type liquid crystal cell can be used, or an electrode pattern or a protrusion pattern such as a standard PVA or Μ V A can be used. However, in the case of the PS A type liquid crystal display, even if the electrode pattern of 1 to ΙΟμηι line width/slit is formed on the single-sided substrate, the slit pattern or the protrusion pattern is not formed on the opposite substrate. It is also possible to operate the liquid crystal display of the structure, and it is possible to simplify the process at the time of manufacture, and to obtain a high transmittance. In addition, in a high-performance element such as a TFT type element, an electrode for liquid crystal driving and a substrate can be used. An element such as a transistor is formed. In the case of a transmissive liquid crystal display device, generally, a substrate as described above is used. In the case of a reflective liquid crystal display device, an opaque substrate such as a germanium wafer can be used as long as it has only a single substrate. At this time, the electrode formed on the substrate may also be a material that reflects light such as aluminum.

Further, even in the case where the polymerizable compound was set to 0.02% by weight, the reaction rate was increased. Even in the case of using a liquid crystal to which no polymerizable compound is added, the reaction speed is increased. In Examples 5 and 6, the liquid crystal was not added with a polymerizable compound, and the reaction rate was greatly improved. On the other hand, in the comparative example, when the liquid crystal of the polymerizable compound was reduced or not added, the reaction rate did not increase. Industrial Applicability The liquid crystal display element produced by using the liquid crystal alignment agent of the present invention can increase the reaction rate even in the case of reducing the polymerizable compound among the alignment modes of the -30-201107375 PS A type. A good alignment state is obtained, and even when a liquid crystal to which a polymerizable compound is not added is used, a liquid crystal display element which can obtain the same characteristics as the PSA type can be provided. This result shows that it is useful in a P S A type T F T liquid crystal display element, a T N liquid crystal display element, a v A liquid crystal display element, and the like.
