本發明之液晶配向劑,在不損及本發明之效果的範圍內,亦可追加含有除了聚合物成分及有機溶劑以外的成分。作為如此般的追加成分,可舉出用於使液晶配向膜與基板的密著性或使液晶配向膜與密封材的密著性提高的密著輔助劑、用於提高液晶配向膜的強度的交聯劑、用於調整液晶配向膜的介電率或電阻的介電質或導電物質等。作為該等追加成分之具體例係如液晶配向劑相關之周知的文獻中所揭示般,若要表示其一例子可舉出公開公報2015/060357號說明書第53頁[0105]~55頁[0116]所揭示的成分等。 [0070] <具有液晶配向膜之基板之製造方法>及<液晶顯示元件之製造方法> 本發明之具有液晶配向膜之基板之製造方法係具有下述步驟: [I] 將含有(A)由二胺成分與酸二酐成分所得之聚合物、及(B)有機溶劑之聚合物組成物塗佈至具有橫向電場驅動用導電膜之基板上後,進行乾燥從而形成塗膜之步驟,該二胺成分由包上述式(1)所表示之二胺,該酸二酐成分包含上述式(2)所表示之四羧酸二酐; [II] 對[I]所得之塗膜照射偏光的紫外線之步驟;及 [III] 將[II]所得之塗膜進行加熱之步驟。 藉由上述步驟,從而可得到被賦予配向控制能之橫向電場驅動型液晶顯示元件用液晶配向膜,並可得到具有該液晶配向膜之基板。 [0071] 又,除了上述所得之基板(第1基板)之外,藉由準備第2基板,從而可得到橫向電場驅動型液晶顯示元件。 第2基板係除了使用不具有橫向電場驅動用導電膜之基板,來替代具有橫向電場驅動用導電膜之基板以外,藉由採用上述步驟[I]~[III](因為使用不具有橫向電場驅動用導電膜之基板,故方便起見,本案中有時也簡稱為步驟[I’]~[III’]),從而可得到具有被賦予配向控制能之液晶配向膜之第2基板。 [0072] 橫向電場驅動型液晶顯示元件之製造方法係具有下述步驟: [IV] 使第1及第2基板的液晶配向膜介隔著液晶並相對之方式來對向配置上述所得之第1及第2基板,從而得到液晶顯示元件之步驟。據此,可得到橫向電場驅動型液晶顯示元件。 [0073] 以下,對於本發明之製造方法所具有之[I]~[III]、及[IV]的各步驟來進行說明。 <步驟[I]> 步驟[I]中,在具有橫向電場驅動用導電膜之基板上塗佈含有感光性主鏈型高分子及有機溶劑之聚合物組成物後,進行乾燥來形成塗膜。 [0074] <基板> 關於基板並無特別限定,若所製造的液晶顯示元件為透射型之情形時,以使用透明性高的基板為較佳。此情形時,無特別限定可使用玻璃基板、或丙烯酸基板或聚碳酸酯基板等的塑膠基板等。 又,考慮適用於反射型液晶顯示元件,亦可使用矽晶圓等的不透明的基板。 [0075] <橫向電場驅動用導電膜> 基板係具有橫向電場驅動用導電膜。 作為該導電膜,若液晶顯示元件為透射型之情形時,可舉出ITO(Indium Tin Oxide:氧化銦錫)、IZO(Indium Zinc Oxide:氧化銦鋅)等,但並非被限定於該等。 又,若為反射型液晶顯示元件之情形時,作為導電膜可舉出鋁等的反射光之材料等,但並非被限定於該等。 在基板上形成導電膜之方法係可使用以往周知的手法。 [0076] 將上述之聚合物組成物塗佈至具有橫向電場驅動用導電膜之基板上之方法並無特別限定。 塗佈方法係以工業上而言採用網板印刷、平板印刷、柔版印刷或噴墨法等來進行之方法為一般的。作為其他的塗佈方法係有浸漬法、輥塗佈機法、縫塗佈機法、旋轉器法(旋轉塗佈法)或噴霧法等,可因應目的來使用該等。 [0077] 在具有橫向電場驅動用導電膜之基板上塗佈聚合物組成物後,可藉由加熱板、熱循環型烘箱或IR(紅外線)型烘箱等的加熱手段,以30~150℃,較佳為70~110℃下使溶劑蒸發從而得到塗膜。若乾燥溫度過低時,溶劑的乾燥將會有變得不足之傾向;又若加熱溫度過高時,則會進行熱醯亞胺化,其結果,因偏光曝光而光分解反應將會過量地進行,此情形時,難以藉由自我組織化而朝單一方向進行再配向,故將會損及配向穩定性。因此,就液晶配向穩定性之觀點而言,此時的乾燥溫度係以特定聚合物實質上未進行熱醯亞胺化的溫度為較佳。 塗膜的厚度過厚時,則在液晶顯示元件的消耗電力方面不利,若過薄時,則有時液晶顯示元件的可靠性將會降低,故較佳為5nm~300nm,又較佳為10nm~150nm。 尚,亦可於[I]步驟之後,接下來的[II]步驟之前,設置將形成有塗膜之基板冷卻至室溫之步驟。 [0078] <步驟[II]> 於步驟[II]中,對步驟[I]所得之塗膜照射偏光的紫外線。對塗膜的膜面照射偏光的紫外線之情形時,從相對於基板為一定的方向介隔著偏光板來照射經偏光的紫外線。作為使用的紫外線係可使用在波長100nm~400nm的範圍內的紫外線。較佳為依據使用的塗膜的種類,介隔著過濾器等來選擇最佳的波長。又,例如為能夠選擇性的誘發光分解反應,可選擇波長240nm~400nm的範圍內的紫外線來使用。作為紫外線可使用例如從高壓水銀燈或金屬鹵素燈所放射的光。 [0079] 偏光的紫外線的照射量係取決於使用的塗膜。照射量係以設為可實現∆A的最大值(以下亦稱為∆Amax)之偏光紫外線的量的1%~70%的範圍內為較佳,以設為1%~50%的範圍內為又較佳,所述∆A係該塗膜中與偏光紫外線之偏光方向為平行方向之紫外線吸光度、和垂直方向之紫外線吸光度之差。 [0080] <步驟[III]> 於步驟[III]中,對步驟[II]中照射了偏光的紫外線之塗膜進行加熱。藉由加熱,可賦予塗膜配向控制能。 加熱係可使用加熱板、熱循環型烘箱或IR(紅外線)型烘箱等的加熱手段。加熱溫度係可考慮使用的塗膜所展現出良好的液晶配向穩定性及電特性的溫度來做決定。 [0081] 加熱溫度係以在主鏈型高分子展現出良好的液晶配向穩定性的溫度範圍內為較佳。若加熱溫度過低時,則因為熱所致之異向性的增大效果或熱醯亞胺化將會變得不足之傾向,又若加熱溫度高於溫度範圍時,藉由偏光曝光而被賦予的異向性將會有消失之傾向,此情形時,藉由自我組織化而在一方向上進行再配向會變得困難。 [0082] 加熱後所形成的塗膜的厚度,由於與步驟[I]中所記載之相同理由,故較佳為5nm~300nm,又較佳以50nm~150nm為宜。 [0083] 藉由具有以上之步驟,依據本發明之製造方法能夠實現高效率的對塗膜的異向性的導入。又,可高效率地製造附有液晶配向膜之基板。 [0084] <步驟[IV]> [IV]步驟係如以下:將[III]所得之在橫向電場驅動用導電膜上具有液晶配向膜之基板(第1基板)、與相同地在上述[I’]~[III’]中所得之不具有導電膜之附有液晶配向膜之基板(第2基板),介隔著液晶並以雙方的液晶配向膜相對之方式來進行對向配置,並藉由周知的方法製作液晶晶胞,從而製作橫向電場驅動型液晶顯示元件之步驟。尚,步驟[I’]~[III’],除了在步驟[I]中使用不具有該橫向電場驅動用導電膜之基板,來替代具有橫向電場驅動用導電膜之基板以外,可與步驟[I]~[III]相同地來進行。步驟[I]~[III]與步驟[I’]~[III’]之不同點僅在於有無上述之導電膜,因此省略步驟[I’]~[III’]的說明。 [0085] 若要舉出液晶晶胞或液晶顯示元件之製作之一例子時,可示例下述方法:準備上述之第1及第2基板,在一片的基板的液晶配向膜上散布間隔件,以液晶配向膜面成為內側之方式來貼合另一片基板,減壓注入液晶並密封之方法,或是在散布間隔件的液晶配向膜面上滴加液晶後,將基板貼合並進行密封之方法等。此時,一側的基板係以使用具有如橫向電場驅動用的梳齒般的構造的電極之基板為較佳。此時的間隔件的直徑,係較佳為1μm~30μm,又較佳為2μm~10μm。該間隔件直徑決定挾持液晶層的一對基板間距離,即液晶層的厚度。 [0086] 本發明之附有塗膜之基板之製造方法係將聚合物組成物塗佈至基板上形成塗膜後,照射偏光的紫外線。接下來藉由進行加熱,實現對主鏈型高分子膜的高效率的異向性的導入,製造具備液晶的配向控制能之附有液晶配向膜之基板。 本發明中使用的塗膜中,利用藉由基於主鏈的光反應之自我組織化而誘發之分子再配向之原理,來實現對塗膜的高效率的異向性的導入。本發明之製造方法中,若在主鏈型高分子中具有光分解性基來作為光反應性基的構造之情形時,使用主鏈型高分子在基板上形成塗膜後,照射偏光的紫外線,接下來進行加熱後,製成液晶顯示元件。 [0087] 因此,本發明之方法中使用的塗膜,係藉由依序進行對塗膜照射偏光的紫外線與加熱處理,從而高效率地導入異向性,故可製成配向控制能為優異的液晶配向膜。 [0088] 又,本發明之方法中使用的塗膜中,將對塗膜照射之偏光的紫外線的照射量、與加熱處理中之加熱溫度進行最佳化。藉此,可實現高效率的對塗膜的異向性的導入。 [0089] 對本發明中所使用的塗膜以高效率導入異向性,作為最佳的偏光紫外線的照射量,係對應於該塗膜中感光性基產生光分解反應的量達到最佳時的偏光紫外線的照射量。若對本發明中所使用的塗膜照射偏光的紫外線之結果是進行光分解反應的感光性基少時,則達不到充分的光反應量。此情形時,之後即使加熱亦不會進行充分的自我組織化。 [0090] 因此,本發明中所使用的塗膜中,藉由偏光紫外線的照射而使感光性基進行光分解反應的最佳量,係以該高分子膜設為0.1莫耳%~90莫耳%為較佳,以0.1莫耳% ~80莫耳%為又較佳。藉由使進行光反應的感光性基的量設為如此般的範圍內,藉由之後的加熱處理,自我組織化將可效率佳地進行,將能高效率的在膜中形成異向性。 [0091] 本發明之方法中使用的塗膜中,藉由偏光的紫外線的照射量之最佳化,可將高分子膜的主鏈中之感光性基的光分解反應的量予以最佳化。又,合併之後的加熱處理,可實現高效率的、對本發明中所使用的塗膜的異向性的導入。此情形時,關於適合的偏光紫外線的量,可以基於本發明中所使用的塗膜的紫外吸收的評估來進行。 [0092]

製作具備FFS方式之液晶顯示元件之構成的液晶晶胞。首先,準備附有電極的基板。基板為30mm×35mm的大小、厚度為0.7mm的玻璃基板。於基板上作為第1層全面地形成構成對向電極的IZO電極。於第1層的對向電極之上,作為第2層形成了藉由CVD法而成膜的SiN(氮化矽)膜。第2層的SiN膜的膜厚為500nm,作為層間絕緣膜發揮作用。於第2層的SiN膜之上,作為第3層配置了將IZO膜圖型化而形成的梳齒狀的像素電極,以形成了第1像素及第2像素這2個像素。各像素的尺寸為長10mm、寬約5mm。此時,第1層的對向電極與第3層的像素電極係藉由第2層的SiN膜的作用而為電絕緣。 第3層的像素電極與特開2014-77845(日本國公開專利公報)所記載的圖相同,具有排列多個中央部分彎曲的“く”字形狀的電極要素所構成的梳齒狀的形狀。各電極要素的寬度方向的寬為3μm,電極要素間的間隔為6μm。形成各像素的像素電極由排列多個中央部分彎曲的“く”字形狀的電極要素所構成,因此各像素的形狀不是長方形,而是具備與電極要素相同地在中央部分彎曲的、與粗體的“く”字相似的形狀。而且,各像素係以其中央的彎曲部分為界被上下分割,具有彎曲部分的上側的第1區域與下側的第2區域。 若比較各像素的第1區域與第2區域時,則構成此等的像素電極的電極要素的形成方向為不同。即,將對基板投影後述之偏光紫外線的偏光面之線段的方向作為基準時,像素的第1區域中,像素電極的電極要素以成為+10°的角度(順時針轉)之方式形成,像素的第2區域中,像素電極的電極要素以成為-10°的角度(順時針轉)之方式形成。即,各像素的第1區域與第2區域中,以藉由像素電極與對向電極之間的電壓外加而所誘發的液晶的、在基板面內的旋轉動作(面內轉向)的方向互為相反方向之方式來構成。 [0111] 接下來,利用1.0μm的過濾器來過濾合成例及比較合成例所得之液晶配向劑後,藉由旋轉塗佈來塗佈至所準備的上述附有電極的基板上。接下來,於設定成70℃的加熱板上使其乾燥90秒鐘。接下來,利用Ushio電機(股)製曝光裝置:APL-L050121S1S-APW01,介隔著波長選擇過濾器及偏光板,從鉛垂方向對基板來照射紫外線的直線偏光。此時,對基板投影的偏光紫外線的偏光面之線段的方向,係以相對於第3層IZO梳齒電極成為傾斜10°的方向之方式來設定偏光面方向。接下來,利用設定成230℃的IR(紅外線)型烘箱進行30分鐘燒成,從而得到施予配向處理的膜厚100nm之附有聚醯亞胺液晶配向膜的基板。又,作為對向基板,對於在裏面形成有ITO電極的具有高度4μm的柱狀間隔件的玻璃基板,亦與上述相同之方式,從而得到施予配向處理的附有聚醯亞胺液晶配向膜的基板。將該等2片附有液晶配向膜的基板作為1組,於一片的基板上以保留液晶注入口之形式下印刷密封劑,將另1片基板以液晶配向膜面彼此相對、且對基板投影偏光紫外線的偏光面之線段的方向成平行之方式來貼合並壓黏。之後,使密封劑硬化從而製作晶胞間距為4μm的空晶胞。藉由減壓注入法對該空晶胞注入液晶MLC-7026-100(Merck公司製負型液晶),並密封注入口從而得到FFS方式之液晶晶胞。之後,將所得之液晶晶胞以120℃下加熱30分鐘,以23℃下放置一晩後使用於液晶配向性之評估。 [0112] <液晶配向性之評估> 使用該液晶晶胞,以70℃的恆溫環境下,外加168小時周波數30Hz下16VPP的交流電壓。之後,使液晶晶胞的像素電極與對向電極之間成為短路狀態,保持其狀態以23℃下放置一晩。 放置後,將液晶晶胞設置在以偏光軸為垂直之方式所配置的2片的偏光板之間,在無外加電壓之狀態下點亮背光源,以透射光的輝度達到最小之方式來調整液晶晶胞的配置角度。而且,計算使液晶晶胞從第1像素的第2區域達到最暗的角度旋轉至第1區域達到最暗的角度為止的旋轉角度作為角度∆。針對第2像素亦為相同地,將第2區域與第1區域進行比較並算出相同的角度∆。而且,計算第1像素與第2像素的角度∆值的平均值作為液晶晶胞的角度∆。若該液晶晶胞的角度∆的值未滿1.0°時定義為「良好」,若角度∆的值為1.0°以上時則定義為「不良」來評估。 [0113] (實施例1) 使用合成例1所得之液晶配向劑(A-1),來製作如上述記載般的液晶晶胞。偏光紫外線的照射係利用高壓水銀燈,介隔著波長選擇過濾器:240LCF、及254nm型的偏光板來進行。偏光紫外線的照射量係藉由利用Ushio電機(股)製照度計UVD-S254SB來測定光量,並在波長254nm下分別變更以600~1500mJ/cm2
的範圍內來實施,從而製作3個以上的偏光紫外線照射量不同的液晶晶胞。 對於該等之液晶晶胞進行評估液晶配向性之結果,角度∆為最佳的偏光紫外線照射量為1200mJ/cm2

The amine component is composed of a diamine represented by the above formula (1), and the acid dianhydride component includes a tetracarboxylic dianhydride represented by the above formula (2); [II] irradiating polarized ultraviolet rays to the coating film obtained in [I] Step; and [III] a step of heating the coating film obtained in [II]. Through the above steps, a liquid crystal alignment film for a lateral electric field drive type liquid crystal display element to which alignment control ability is provided can be obtained, and a substrate having the liquid crystal alignment film can be obtained. [0071] In addition to the substrate (first substrate) obtained as described above, by preparing a second substrate, a lateral electric field drive type liquid crystal display element can be obtained. The second substrate is a substrate without a conductive film for lateral electric field driving, instead of a substrate with a conductive film for lateral electric field driving, by adopting the above steps [I] to [III] (because the driving without lateral electric field is used) A substrate of a conductive film is used, so for convenience, this case may also be simply referred to as steps [I '] to [III']), so that a second substrate having a liquid crystal alignment film provided with an alignment control ability can be obtained. [0072] A method for manufacturing a lateral electric field-driven liquid crystal display element has the following steps: [IV] The first liquid crystal alignment films of the first and second substrates are arranged opposite to each other with a liquid crystal interposed therebetween, and the first obtained And a second substrate to obtain a liquid crystal display element. According to this, a lateral electric field drive type liquid crystal display element can be obtained. [0073] Hereinafter, each step of [I] to [III] and [IV] included in the manufacturing method of the present invention will be described. <Step [I]> In step [I], a polymer composition containing a photosensitive main chain polymer and an organic solvent is coated on a substrate having a conductive film for lateral electric field drive, and then dried to form a coating film. [Substrate] The substrate is not particularly limited, and if the manufactured liquid crystal display element is of a transmissive type, it is preferable to use a substrate with high transparency. In this case, a glass substrate, a plastic substrate such as an acrylic substrate, a polycarbonate substrate, or the like can be used without particular limitation. Further, it is considered to be applicable to a reflective liquid crystal display element, and an opaque substrate such as a silicon wafer may be used. [0075] <Conductive Film for Transverse Electric Field Drive> The substrate includes a conductive film for lateral electric field drive. As the conductive film, in the case where the liquid crystal display element is a transmissive type, ITO (Indium Tin Oxide), IZO (Indium Zinc Oxide), and the like are mentioned, but it is not limited to these. In the case of a reflective liquid crystal display element, a material for reflecting light such as aluminum may be mentioned as the conductive film, but it is not limited thereto. As a method for forming a conductive film on a substrate, a conventionally known method can be used. [0076] The method of applying the above-mentioned polymer composition to a substrate having a conductive film for lateral electric field driving is not particularly limited. The coating method is generally carried out industrially by a screen printing method, a lithographic printing method, a flexographic printing method, or an inkjet method. Other coating methods include a dipping method, a roll coater method, a slit coater method, a spinner method (spin coating method), or a spray method, and these can be used depending on the purpose. [0077] After coating the polymer composition on a substrate having a conductive film for lateral electric field drive, it can be heated at 30 to 150 ° C by heating means such as a hot plate, a thermal cycle oven, or an IR (infrared) oven. The solvent is preferably evaporated at 70 to 110 ° C to obtain a coating film. If the drying temperature is too low, the drying of the solvent tends to become insufficient; and if the heating temperature is too high, the thermal imidization will proceed. As a result, the photodecomposition reaction due to polarized light exposure will be excessive. In this case, it is difficult to re-align in a single direction by self-organization, so the alignment stability will be impaired. Therefore, from the viewpoint of liquid crystal alignment stability, the drying temperature at this time is preferably a temperature at which the specific polymer is not substantially thermally imidized. When the thickness of the coating film is too thick, the power consumption of the liquid crystal display element is disadvantageous. When the thickness of the coating film is too thin, the reliability of the liquid crystal display element may be reduced. Therefore, it is preferably 5 nm to 300 nm, and more preferably 10 nm. ~ 150nm. Alternatively, after the step [I] and before the next step [II], a step of cooling the substrate on which the coating film is formed to room temperature may be provided. [Step [II]> In step [II], the coating film obtained in step [I] is irradiated with polarized ultraviolet rays. When the film surface of the coating film is irradiated with polarized ultraviolet rays, the polarized ultraviolet rays are irradiated through a polarizing plate with a certain direction from the substrate. As the ultraviolet rays to be used, ultraviolet rays having a wavelength in the range of 100 nm to 400 nm can be used. It is preferable to select an optimal wavelength depending on the type of the coating film to be used, with a filter or the like interposed therebetween. Further, for example, in order to selectively induce a photodecomposition reaction, ultraviolet rays having a wavelength in a range of 240 nm to 400 nm can be selected and used. As the ultraviolet rays, for example, light emitted from a high-pressure mercury lamp or a metal halide lamp can be used. [0079] The irradiation amount of polarized ultraviolet rays depends on the coating film used. The exposure amount is preferably in the range of 1% to 70% of the amount of polarized ultraviolet rays that can achieve the maximum value of ΔA (hereinafter also referred to as ΔAmax), and is set in the range of 1% to 50%. To be more preferable, the ΔA is the difference between the ultraviolet absorbance of the coating film parallel to the polarization direction of the polarized ultraviolet light and the ultraviolet absorbance of the vertical direction. [0080] <Step [III]> In step [III], the coating film irradiated with polarized ultraviolet rays in step [II] is heated. By heating, an alignment control ability can be provided to a coating film. As the heating system, heating means such as a hot plate, a thermal cycle type oven, or an IR (infrared) type oven can be used. The heating temperature may be determined by considering a temperature at which the coating film used exhibits good liquid crystal alignment stability and electrical characteristics. [0081] The heating temperature is preferably within a temperature range in which the main chain polymer exhibits good liquid crystal alignment stability. If the heating temperature is too low, the effect of increasing the anisotropy due to heat or thermal imidization will become insufficient, and if the heating temperature is higher than the temperature range, it will be affected by polarized light exposure. The anisotropy imparted will tend to disappear. In this case, it becomes difficult to reorient in one direction by self-organization. [0082] The thickness of the coating film formed after heating is preferably 5 nm to 300 nm, and more preferably 50 nm to 150 nm, for the same reason as described in step [1]. [0083] By having the above steps, the manufacturing method according to the present invention can achieve an efficient introduction of anisotropy into a coating film. In addition, a substrate with a liquid crystal alignment film can be manufactured efficiently. [0084] <Step [IV] The step [IV] is as follows: the substrate (first substrate) having the liquid crystal alignment film on the conductive film for lateral electric field drive obtained in [III] is the same as in [I] above The substrate (second substrate) with a liquid crystal alignment film without a conductive film obtained in '] ~ [III'] is arranged opposite to each other with the liquid crystal alignment films interposed therebetween, and borrows A step of fabricating a liquid crystal cell by a well-known method to fabricate a lateral electric field driving type liquid crystal display element. Steps [I '] to [III'] can be performed in the same manner as in step [I] except that the substrate without the conductive film for lateral electric field drive is used instead of the substrate with the conductive film for lateral electric field drive in step [I]. I] to [III] are performed in the same manner. Steps [I] to [III] differ from steps [I '] to [III'] only in the presence or absence of the above-mentioned conductive film, so the description of steps [I '] to [III'] is omitted. [0085] To give an example of the production of a liquid crystal cell or a liquid crystal display element, the following method may be exemplified: preparing the above-mentioned first and second substrates, and dispersing a spacer on the liquid crystal alignment film of one substrate A method of bonding another substrate such that the liquid crystal alignment film surface becomes the inner side, injecting the liquid crystal under reduced pressure and sealing, or a method of bonding the substrates and sealing after dropping liquid crystals on the liquid crystal alignment film surface of the spacer. Wait. At this time, the substrate on one side is preferably a substrate using an electrode having a structure like a comb tooth for lateral electric field driving. The diameter of the spacer at this time is preferably 1 μm to 30 μm, and more preferably 2 μm to 10 μm. The diameter of the spacer determines the distance between a pair of substrates holding the liquid crystal layer, that is, the thickness of the liquid crystal layer. [0086] The method for manufacturing a substrate with a coating film of the present invention is to apply a polymer composition to a substrate to form a coating film, and then irradiate polarized ultraviolet rays. Next, by heating, the introduction of a high-efficiency anisotropy into the main-chain type polymer film is performed, and a substrate with a liquid crystal alignment film having an alignment control function for liquid crystals is manufactured. In the coating film used in the present invention, the principle of molecular realignment induced by the self-organization of the photo-response based on the main chain is used to realize the introduction of highly efficient anisotropy into the coating film. In the manufacturing method of the present invention, if the main chain polymer has a photodegradable group as a photoreactive group structure, the main chain polymer is used to form a coating film on a substrate and then irradiate polarized ultraviolet rays. Next, after heating, a liquid crystal display element is produced. [0087] Therefore, the coating film used in the method of the present invention can sequentially introduce anisotropy by sequentially irradiating the coating film with polarized ultraviolet rays and heat treatment, so that it can be made to have excellent alignment control performance. Liquid crystal alignment film. [0088] In the coating film used in the method of the present invention, the irradiation amount of the polarized ultraviolet light irradiated to the coating film and the heating temperature in the heat treatment are optimized. This makes it possible to efficiently introduce anisotropy into the coating film. [0089] The anisotropy is introduced into the coating film used in the present invention with high efficiency, and the optimum irradiation amount of polarized ultraviolet light corresponds to the time when the amount of photodecomposition reaction of the photosensitive group in the coating film reaches the optimum. Exposure to polarized ultraviolet rays. When the coating film used in the present invention is irradiated with polarized ultraviolet rays, when the number of photosensitive groups that undergo photodecomposition reaction is small, a sufficient photoreaction amount cannot be achieved. In this case, sufficient self-organization will not be performed even after heating. [0090] Therefore, in the coating film used in the present invention, the optimum amount of the photodegradation reaction of the photosensitive group by irradiation of polarized ultraviolet light is such that the polymer film is 0.1 mol% to 90 mol. Ear% is better, and 0.1 to 80 mole% is more preferred. By setting the amount of the photosensitive group that performs the photoreaction within such a range, self-organization can be performed efficiently by the subsequent heat treatment, and anisotropy can be formed in the film with high efficiency. [0091] In the coating film used in the method of the present invention, the amount of photodecomposition reaction of the photosensitive groups in the main chain of the polymer film can be optimized by optimizing the irradiation amount of polarized ultraviolet rays. . In addition, the combined heat treatment can achieve efficient introduction of anisotropy into the coating film used in the present invention. In this case, an appropriate amount of polarized ultraviolet rays can be performed based on the evaluation of the ultraviolet absorption of the coating film used in the present invention. [0092] That is, for the coating film used in the present invention, the ultraviolet absorption parallel to the polarization direction of the polarized ultraviolet radiation and the ultraviolet absorption in the vertical direction after the polarized ultraviolet radiation were measured. From the measurement results of the ultraviolet absorption, the difference (ΔA) between the ultraviolet absorbance in the parallel direction and the ultraviolet absorbance in the vertical direction in the coating film and the polarized ultraviolet direction was evaluated. In addition, the maximum value (ΔAmax) of ΔA achieved in the coating film used in the present invention and the irradiation amount of polarized ultraviolet rays to achieve the maximum were obtained. In the manufacturing method of the present invention, based on the amount of polarized ultraviolet radiation to achieve the ΔAmax as a reference, a preferable amount of the amount of polarized ultraviolet radiation to be irradiated in the manufacture of the liquid crystal alignment film can be determined. [0093] Based on the above, in the manufacturing method of the present invention, in order to achieve efficient anisotropy introduction of the coating film, the temperature range in which the main chain polymer can impart liquid crystal alignment stability is used as a reference to determine, for example, Suitable heating temperature as described above. Therefore, for example, the main chain polymer used in the present invention is a temperature range that imparts liquid crystal alignment stability, and can be determined by considering a temperature at which the used coating film exhibits good liquid crystal alignment stability and electrical characteristics. It can be set in accordance with the temperature range of a liquid crystal alignment film made of conventional polyfluorene and the like. That is, the heating temperature after irradiation with polarized ultraviolet light is preferably set to 150 ° C to 300 ° C, and more preferably set to 180 ° C to 250 ° C. Accordingly, the coating film used in the present invention can impart greater anisotropy. [0094] Accordingly, the liquid crystal display element provided by the present invention will exhibit high reliability against external stress such as light or heat. [0095] As described above, the substrate for a lateral electric field drive type liquid crystal display element manufactured using the polymer of the present invention or a lateral electric field drive type liquid crystal display element having the substrate is excellent in reliability, and can be suitably used. For large-screen and high-definition LCD TVs. In addition, the liquid crystal alignment film manufactured by the method of the present invention has excellent liquid crystal alignment stability and reliability, so it can also be used in a variable phase shifter using liquid crystals. The variable phase shifter is suitable for use in, for example, Antennas that can change the number of resonance cycles. [Examples] The abbreviations used in the examples are as follows.

[0110] <Production of Liquid Crystal Cell for Evaluation of Liquid Crystal Alignment> A method for producing a liquid crystal cell for evaluating liquid crystal alignment is shown below. A liquid crystal cell having a structure of a liquid crystal display element having an FFS method is produced. First, a substrate with electrodes is prepared. The substrate was a glass substrate having a size of 30 mm × 35 mm and a thickness of 0.7 mm. An IZO electrode constituting a counter electrode is formed on the substrate as a first layer. On the counter electrode of the first layer, a SiN (silicon nitride) film formed by a CVD method is formed as a second layer. The SiN film of the second layer has a film thickness of 500 nm and functions as an interlayer insulating film. On the second layer of the SiN film, a comb-shaped pixel electrode formed by patterning the IZO film is arranged as the third layer to form two pixels, namely, a first pixel and a second pixel. The size of each pixel is 10 mm in length and about 5 mm in width. At this time, the counter electrode of the first layer and the pixel electrode of the third layer are electrically insulated by the action of the SiN film of the second layer. The pixel electrode of the third layer is the same as the one described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2014-77845 (Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication), and has a comb-like shape formed by arranging a plurality of “く” -shaped electrode elements bent at a central portion. The width in the width direction of each electrode element is 3 μm, and the interval between the electrode elements is 6 μm. The pixel electrode forming each pixel is formed by arranging a plurality of “く” -shaped electrode elements bent at the central portion. Therefore, the shape of each pixel is not rectangular, but includes the same shape as the electrode element. "く" similar shape. Each pixel is divided up and down with its central curved portion as a boundary, and has a first region on the upper side and a second region on the lower side of the curved portion. When the first region and the second region of each pixel are compared, the formation directions of the electrode elements constituting such pixel electrodes are different. That is, when the direction of a line segment of a polarizing plane of polarized ultraviolet rays described later is projected onto a substrate as a reference, the electrode element of the pixel electrode is formed at an angle (clockwise) of + 10 ° in the first region of the pixel. In the second region, the electrode element of the pixel electrode is formed at an angle (clockwise) of -10 °. That is, in the first region and the second region of each pixel, the directions of the rotation operation (in-plane turning) of the liquid crystal in the substrate plane induced by the voltage application between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode are mutually opposite. Constructed in the opposite direction. [0111] Next, the liquid crystal alignment agent obtained in the synthesis example and the comparative synthesis example was filtered with a 1.0 μm filter, and then applied to the prepared substrate with electrodes by spin coating. Next, it was dried on a hot plate set at 70 ° C for 90 seconds. Next, UPL-L050121S1S-APW01, an exposure device made by Ushio Electric Co., Ltd., was used to irradiate the substrate with linearly polarized light from the vertical direction through the wavelength selection filter and polarizer. At this time, the direction of the line segment of the polarizing plane of the polarized ultraviolet rays projected onto the substrate is set so that the direction of the polarizing plane becomes a direction inclined by 10 ° with respect to the third-layer IZO comb-shaped electrode. Next, an IR (infrared) -type oven set at 230 ° C. was fired for 30 minutes to obtain a substrate with a polyimide liquid crystal alignment film having a film thickness of 100 nm that was subjected to the alignment treatment. In addition, as a counter substrate, a glass substrate having a columnar spacer having a height of 4 μm having an ITO electrode formed therein was also formed in the same manner as described above, and a polyimide liquid crystal alignment film with an alignment treatment was obtained. Of the substrate. The two substrates with a liquid crystal alignment film are used as a group, and a sealant is printed on the one substrate to retain the liquid crystal injection port. The other substrate is opposed to each other with the liquid crystal alignment film surface and is projected on the substrate The directions of the line segments of the polarized surface of the polarized ultraviolet light are paralleled to be bonded and pressed. Then, the sealant was hardened to produce an empty cell with a cell spacing of 4 μm. Liquid crystal MLC-7026-100 (negative liquid crystal manufactured by Merck) was injected into the empty cell by a reduced pressure injection method, and the injection port was sealed to obtain a liquid crystal cell of the FFS method. Then, the obtained liquid crystal cell was heated at 120 ° C for 30 minutes, and left at 23 ° C for a while, and then used for evaluation of liquid crystal alignment. [0112] <Assessment of Liquid Crystal Orientation> Using this liquid crystal cell, an AC voltage of 16 VPP at a frequency of 30 Hz at a frequency of 168 hours was applied in a constant temperature environment of 70 ° C. After that, the pixel electrode and the counter electrode of the liquid crystal cell are brought into a short-circuited state, and the state is left at 23 ° C. for a while. After being placed, the liquid crystal cell is placed between two polarizing plates arranged with the polarizing axis vertical, and the backlight is turned on without an applied voltage, and the brightness of the transmitted light is adjusted to the minimum The arrangement angle of the liquid crystal cell. Then, the rotation angle from the angle at which the liquid crystal cell is rotated from the darkest angle in the second region of the first pixel to the darkest angle in the first region is calculated as the angle Δ. Similarly for the second pixel, the second region is compared with the first region and the same angle Δ is calculated. Then, an average value of the angle Δ values of the first pixel and the second pixel is calculated as the angle Δ of the liquid crystal cell. If the value of the angle Δ of the liquid crystal cell is less than 1.0 °, it is defined as “good”, and if the value of the angle Δ is 1.0 ° or more, it is defined as “bad” for evaluation. [Example 1] The liquid crystal alignment agent (A-1) obtained in Synthesis Example 1 was used to prepare a liquid crystal cell as described above. Irradiation of polarized ultraviolet light was performed using a high-pressure mercury lamp through a wavelength-selective filter: 240LCF and a 254nm-type polarizing plate. The amount of polarized ultraviolet radiation was measured by using a UV light meter UVD-S254SB made by Ushio Electric Co., Ltd., and the wavelength was changed from 600 to 1500 mJ / cm at a wavelength of 254 nm. 2 It is implemented within the range of 3 to produce three or more liquid crystal cells with different amounts of polarized ultraviolet radiation. As a result of evaluating the alignment of the liquid crystals for these liquid crystal cells, the angle Δ is the optimal amount of polarized ultraviolet radiation to be 1200 mJ / cm 2 The angle Δ is good at 0.13 °. [Examples 2 to 6] Except for using the liquid crystal alignment agent obtained in Synthesis Examples 2 to 6, the same method as in Example 1 was used to evaluate the liquid crystal alignment. [Comparative Examples 1 to 4] Except for using the liquid crystal alignment agent obtained in Comparative Synthesis Examples 1 to 4, the same method as in Example 1 was used to evaluate the liquid crystal alignment. [0116] Table 1 shows the results of the evaluation of the polarized ultraviolet radiation amount and the liquid crystal alignment when the angle Δ was the best when the liquid crystal alignment agent obtained in the synthesis example and the comparative synthesis example was used. [0117] [0118] As shown in Table 1, in Examples 1 to 6, the difference (angle Δ) between the alignment azimuth angles before and after the AC drive is less than 1.0 °, which is good, so the display quality of the liquid crystal display element is improved. On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 1 to 4, the angle Δ was 1.0 ° or more and it was defective. It was confirmed that the liquid crystal display element manufactured by the method of the present invention exhibits very excellent afterimage characteristics. [Industrial Applicability] [0119] A substrate for a lateral electric field drive type liquid crystal display device manufactured using the composition of the present invention or a lateral electric field drive type liquid crystal display device having the substrate has excellent long-term stability of liquid crystal alignment. It is suitable for large-screen and high-definition LCD TVs. In addition, the liquid crystal alignment film system produced by the method of the present invention can also be used in a variable phase shifter using liquid crystal, and the variable phase shifter system can be suitably used in, for example, an antenna capable of changing the resonance frequency.
