本発明の液晶配向剤には、必要に応じ、2つ以上の末端に光重合又は光架橋する基を有する重合性化合物を含有しても良い。かかる重合性化合物は、光重合又は光架橋する基を有する末端を二つ以上持っている化合物である。ここで、光重合する基を有する重合性化合物とは、光を照射することにより重合を生じさせる官能基を有する化合物である。また、光架橋する基を有する化合物とは、光を照射することにより、重合性化合物の重合体や、ポリイミド前駆体、及び、このポリイミド前駆体をイミド化して得られるポリイミドから選択される少なくとも一種の重合体と反応してこれらと架橋することができる官能基を有する化合物である。なお、光架橋する基を有する化合物は、光架橋する基を有する化合物同士でも反応する。
なお、下記式(V)~(VII)において、R12、Z1及びZ2は上記式(IV)におけるR12、Z1及びZ2と同じであり、Q1は二価の有機基である。Q1は、フェニレン基(-C6H4-)、ビフェニレン基(-C6H4-C6H4-)、シクロヘキシレン基(-C6H10-)等の環構造を有していることが好ましい。液晶との相互作用が大きくなりやすいためである。
ジアミン成分とテトラカルボン酸二無水物との反応により、ポリアミック酸を得るにあたっては、公知の合成手法を用いることができる。一般的には、ジアミン成分とテトラカルボン酸二無水物成分とを有機溶媒中で反応させる方法である。ジアミン成分とテトラカルボン酸二無水物との反応は、有機溶媒中で比較的容易に進行し、かつ副生成物が発生しない点で有利である。
上記の重合反応における、ジアミン成分の合計モル数に対するテトラカルボン酸二無水物成分の合計モル数の比率は、得ようとするポリアミック酸の分子量に応じて選択できる。通常の重縮合反応と同様に、このモル比が1.0に近いほど生成するポリアミック酸の分子量は大きくなり、好ましい範囲を示すならば0.8~1.2である。
上記したポリアミック酸をイミド化させてポリイミドとする方法としては、ポリアミック酸の溶液をそのまま加熱する熱イミド化、ポリアミック酸の溶液に触媒を添加する触媒イミド化が挙げられる。なお、ポリアミック酸からポリイミドへのイミド化率は、必ずしも100%である必要はない。
ポリアミック酸の触媒イミド化は、ポリアミック酸の溶液に、塩基性触媒と酸無水物とを添加し、-20~250℃、好ましくは0~180℃で攪拌することにより行うことができる。塩基性触媒の量はアミド酸基の0.5~30モル倍、好ましくは2~20モル倍であり、酸無水物の量はアミド酸基の1~50モル倍、好ましくは3~30モル倍である。塩基性触媒としてはピリジン、トリエチルアミン、トリメチルアミン、トリブチルアミン、トリオクチルアミンなどを挙げることができ、中でもピリジンは反応を進行させるのに適度な塩基性を持つので好ましい。酸無水物としては、無水酢酸、無水トリメリット酸、無水ピロメリット酸などを挙げることができ、中でも無水酢酸を用いると反応終了後の精製が容易となるので好ましい。触媒イミド化によるイミド化率は、触媒量と反応温度、反応時間を調節することにより制御することができる。
本発明の剤は上記式(1)で表される構造を側鎖に有する少なくとも1つの重合体を含有するが、かかる重合体の含有量は1~20質量%が好ましく、より好ましくは3~15質量%、特に好ましくは3~10質量%である。また、2つ以上の末端に光重合又は光架橋する基をそれぞれ有する重合性化合物を含有する場合、その含有量は、上記重合体100質量部に対して、1~50質量部が好ましく、さらに好ましくは5~30質量部である。
液晶配向剤が有する重合体の分子量は、液晶配向剤を塗布して得られる液晶配向膜の強度及び、塗膜形成時の作業性、塗膜の均一性を考慮した場合、GPC(Gel Permeation Chromatography)法で測定した重量平均分子量で5,000~1,000,000が好ましく、10,000~150,000がより好ましい。
膜厚の均一性や表面平滑性を向上させる化合物としては、フッ素系界面活性剤、シリコーン系界面活性剤、ノ二オン系界面活性剤などが挙げられる。より具体的には、例えば、エフトップEF301、EF303、EF352(トーケムプロダクツ社製)、メガファックF171、F173、R-30(大日本インキ社製)、フロラードFC430、FC431(住友スリーエム社製)、アサヒガードAG710、サーフロンS-382、SC101、SC102、SC103、SC104、SC105、SC106(旭硝子社製)などが挙げられる。これらの界面活性剤の使用割合は、液晶配向剤に含有される重合体の総量100質量部に対して、好ましくは0.01~2質量部、より好ましくは0.01~1質量部である。
さらに、液晶配向剤には、上記の他、本発明の効果が損なわれない範囲であれば、液晶配向膜の誘電率や導電性などの電気特性を変化させる目的の誘電体や導電物質を添加してもよい。
上記の方法で液晶配向剤を塗布して形成される塗膜は、焼成して硬化膜とすることができる。液晶配向剤を塗布した後の乾燥の工程は、必ずしも必要とされないが、塗布後から焼成までの時間が基板ごとに一定していない場合、又は塗布後ただちに焼成されない場合には、乾燥工程を行うことが好ましい。この乾燥は、基板の搬送等により塗膜形状が変形しない程度に溶媒が除去されていればよく、その乾燥手段については特に限定されない。例えば、温度40℃~150℃、好ましくは60℃~100℃のホットプレート上で、0.5分~30分、好ましくは1分~5分乾燥させる方法が挙げられる。
また、焼成して得られる液晶配向膜の厚みは特に限定されないが、好ましくは5~300nm、より好ましくは10~100nmである。
本発明の液晶表示素子は、上記の方法により、基板に液晶配向膜を形成した後、公知の方法で液晶セルを作製できる。液晶表示素子の具体例としては、対向するように配置された2枚の基板と、基板間に設けられた液晶層と、基板と液晶層との間に設けられ本発明の液晶配向剤により形成された上記液晶配向膜とを有する液晶セルを具備する垂直配向方式の液晶表示素子である。具体的には、本発明の液晶配向剤を2枚の基板上に塗布して焼成することにより液晶配向膜を形成し、この液晶配向膜が対向するように2枚の基板を配置し、この2枚の基板の間に液晶で構成された液晶層を挟持し、すなわち、液晶配向膜に接触させて液晶層を設け、液晶配向膜及び液晶層に電圧を印加しながら紫外線を照射することで作製される液晶セルを具備する垂直配向方式の液晶表示素子である。
透過型の液晶表示素子の場合は、上記の如き基板を用いることが一般的であるが、反射型の液晶表示素子では、片側の基板のみにならばシリコンウエハー等の不透明な基板も用いることが可能である。その際、基板に形成された電極には、光を反射するアルミニウムの如き材料を用いることもできる。

(実施例7)
実施例1で得られた液晶配向剤(A1)を用いて下記に示すような手順で液晶セルの作製を行った。実施例1で得られた液晶配向剤(A1)を、画素サイズが100μm×300μmでライン/スペースがそれぞれ5μmのITO電極パターンが形成されているITO電極基板のITO面にスピンコートし、80℃のホットプレートで90秒間乾燥した後、200℃の熱風循環式オーブンで30分間焼成を行い、膜厚100nmの液晶配向膜を形成した。
また、液晶配向剤(A1)を電極パターンが形成されていないITO面にスピンコートし、80℃のホットプレートで90秒乾燥させた後、200℃の熱風循環式オーブンで30分間焼成を行い、膜厚100nmの液晶配向膜を形成した。
得られた液晶セルの応答速度を、下記方法により測定した。その後、この液晶セルに20VのDC電圧を印加した状態で、この液晶セルの外側から365nmのバンドパスフィルターを通したUVを10J照射した。その後、再び応答速度を測定し、UV照射前後での応答速度を比較した。また、UV照射後のセルについて画素部分のプレチルト角を測定した。結果を表1に示す。
まず、バックライト、クロスニコルの状態にした一組の偏光版、光量検出器の順で構成される測定装置において、一組の偏光版の間に液晶セルを配置した。このときライン/スペースが形成されているITO電極のパターンがクロスニコルに対して45°の角度になるようにした。そして、上記の液晶セルに電圧±6V、周波数1kHzの矩形波を印加し、光量検出器によって観測される輝度が飽和するまでの変化をオシロスコープにて取り込み、電圧を印加していない時の輝度を0%、±4Vの電圧を印加し、飽和した輝度の値を100%として、輝度が10%から90%まで変化するのにかかる時間を応答速度とした。
<プレチルト角の測定>

これは、比較例の液晶配向剤では、重合性化合物自体が365nmの紫外線をほとんど吸収しないため、ラジカル発生部位を有さない液晶配向膜では重合反応を開始するための充分なラジカルが発生しなかったためであると考えられる。一方、実施例の液晶配向剤では、長波長側の紫外線照射でも充分なラジカルが発生するため、液晶配向膜界面で重合性化合物が重合し、チルト角を形成したためと考えられる。
液晶配向剤(A1)のかわりに液晶配向剤(D1)を用いて重合性化合物含有の液晶を使用した以外は実施例7と同様の操作を行って、液晶セルを作製した。この液晶セルに20VのDC電圧を印加した状態で、液晶セルの外側から365nmのバンドパスフィルターを通したUVを7J、15Jと照射し各液晶セルの応答速度を比較した。またプレチルト角の測定を行なった。結果を表2に示す。

(実施例20)

液晶配向剤(A1)のかわりに液晶配向剤(K2)を用いた以外は実施例7と同様の操作を行って、UV照射前後での応答速度を比較した。またプレチルト角の測定を行なった。
(比較例7)
液晶配向剤(A1)のかわりに液晶配向剤(L2)を用いた以外は実施例7と同様の操作を行って、UV照射前後での応答速度を比較した。またプレチルト角の測定を行なった。
一方で、比較例7に示すようにラジカル開始部位をポリマーの主鎖骨格中に導入するとプレチルト角の発現能が、側鎖部位に導入する場合に比べ、弱くなる傾向にあることが分かった。
一般的に紫外線照射によって重合性化合物が反応しチルト角を形成する重合反応は、液晶配向膜とそれに接触している液晶との界面で効率的に起こることでプレチルト角が形成されると考えられる。しかし、比較例7のようにラジカル部位が主鎖骨格中にあると、紫外線照射によって発生したラジカルはポリマー中に存在しており、液晶との界面での反応に効率的に関与できていないためではないかと考えられる。
