Definitions
- the present invention relates to a liquid crystal alignment treatment agent used in the production of a liquid crystal display element, a liquid crystal alignment film obtained from the liquid crystal alignment treatment agent, and a liquid crystal display element using the liquid crystal alignment film.
- Liquid crystal display elements are now widely used as display devices that are thin and light.
- a liquid crystal alignment film is used to determine the alignment state of the liquid crystal.
- the pretilt angle of the liquid crystal As one of the characteristics required for the liquid crystal alignment film, there is control of the so-called pretilt angle of the liquid crystal, which maintains the alignment tilt angle of the liquid crystal molecules with respect to the substrate surface at an arbitrary value. It is known that the magnitude of the pretilt angle can be changed by selecting the structure of the polyimide constituting the liquid crystal alignment film.
- the method using a diamine having a side chain as a part of the polyimide raw material can control the pretilt angle in accordance with the proportion of the diamine used, so that the desired pretilt angle is obtained. This is relatively easy and is useful as a means for increasing the pretilt angle (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
- the diamine component for increasing the pretilt angle of the liquid crystal has been studied for improving the stability and process dependency of the pretilt angle
- the side chain structure used here is phenyl. Those containing a ring structure such as a group or a cyclohexyl group have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
- liquid crystal alignment films used in the liquid crystal alignment films used in the liquid crystal display elements have a high voltage holding ratio and a direct current voltage from the viewpoint of suppressing contrast reduction and afterimage phenomenon.
- the characteristic that the accumulated charge when applied is small or the charge accumulated by the DC voltage is quickly relaxed has become increasingly important.
- a liquid crystal alignment treatment agent containing a tertiary amine with a specific structure in addition to polyamic acid or imide group-containing polyamic acid is used as a short time until the afterimage generated by direct current voltage disappears.
- a liquid crystal alignment treatment agent containing a soluble polyimide using a specific diamine having a pyridine skeleton or the like as a raw material for example, see Patent Document 4.
- a compound containing one carboxylic acid group in the molecule In addition to polyamic acid and its imidized polymer, a compound containing one carboxylic acid group in the molecule, assuming that the voltage holding ratio is high and the time until the afterimage generated by direct current voltage disappears is short , Using a liquid crystal aligning agent containing a very small amount of a compound selected from a compound containing one carboxylic anhydride group in the molecule and a compound containing one tertiary amino group in the molecule (for example, Patent Document 5) is known.
- the liquid crystal alignment film is also used for controlling the angle of the liquid crystal with respect to the substrate, that is, the pretilt angle of the liquid crystal.
- the liquid crystal needs to be aligned vertically, so the liquid crystal alignment film has the ability to align the liquid crystal vertically (vertical alignment and high pretilt). Called corners).
- the liquid crystal alignment film has become important not only for high vertical alignment but also for its stability.
- liquid crystal display elements that use a backlight that generates a large amount of heat and has a large amount of light to obtain high brightness, such as car navigation systems and large televisions, are exposed to high temperatures and light for a long time. There are cases where it is used or left in a dark environment. Under such severe conditions, when the vertical alignment property is deteriorated, problems such as inability to obtain initial display characteristics or occurrence of unevenness in display occur.
- the voltage holding ratio which is one of the electrical characteristics of the liquid crystal display element
- high stability under the above severe conditions is also required. That is, if the voltage holding ratio is reduced by light irradiation from the backlight, a burn-in defect (also referred to as line burn-in), which is one of display defects of the liquid crystal display element, is likely to occur. A high liquid crystal display element cannot be obtained. Therefore, in the liquid crystal alignment film, in addition to good initial characteristics, for example, it is required that the voltage holding ratio does not easily decrease even after being exposed to light irradiation for a long time. Furthermore, there is a need for a liquid crystal alignment film that can quickly relieve residual charges accumulated by a direct current voltage by light irradiation from a backlight, even for another surface burn-in that is a poor image burn-in.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal aligning agent having the above characteristics. That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal alignment film that can exhibit a stable pretilt angle even after being exposed to high temperature and light irradiation for a long time. In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal alignment film that suppresses a decrease in the voltage holding ratio even after being exposed to light irradiation for a long time and quickly relaxes residual charges accumulated by a DC voltage.
- another object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal display element having the above liquid crystal alignment film and a liquid crystal alignment treatment agent that can provide the above liquid crystal alignment film.
