Abstract

La présente invention concerne un élément d'affichage à cristaux liquides qui présente une haute propriété d'alignement vertical de cristaux liquides, une forte adhésion entre une couche de cristaux liquides et un film d'alignement vertical de cristaux liquides, ainsi que des caractéristiques optiques favorables, en particulier de transparence favorable en l'absence d'une application de tension et de diffusion favorable en présence d'une application de tension. L'invention concerne également un film d'alignement de cristaux liquides et un agent de traitement d'alignement de cristaux liquides destinés à être utilisés dans ledit élément. Selon l'invention, l'élément d'affichage à cristaux liquides comprend une couche de cristaux liquides disposée entre deux substrats pourvus d'électrodes, et une composition de cristaux liquides disposée entre les deux substrats, la composition de cristaux liquides contenant un composé polymérisable qui est polymérisé par des rayons d'énergie active et/ou de la chaleur. De plus, au moins l'un des substrats comporte un film d'alignement de cristaux liquides qui a une structure spécifique et qui aligne verticalement les cristaux liquides. L'élément d'affichage à cristaux liquides est obtenu par durcissement de la composition de cristaux liquides pour former un composite durci de cristaux liquides et du composé polymérisable tandis que tout ou partie de la composition de cristaux liquides présente des propriétés de cristaux liquides.
