Definitions
- the present invention relates to a polyimide composition containing a polyimide having a specific structure and used for an alignment film for an anisotropic dye film.
- the present invention also relates to an alignment film and an optical element formed using the polyimide composition.
- the conventional liquid crystal display uses a polarizing film obtained by dyeing and stretching a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film or the like with a solution containing a dye, and orienting the dye in the drawing process, and therefore has low durability against humidity. . Therefore, establishment of a technique for an anisotropic dye film (polarizing film) using a dye that improves wet resistance and heat resistance is expected.
- PVA polyvinyl alcohol
- membrane is provided on a coating substrate and the pigment
- an alignment film is obtained by applying a polyamic acid solution (polyimide precursor) to a substrate and heating (Patent Document 2).
- a polyamic acid solution polyimide precursor
- Patent Document 3 As the alignment film, an alignment film for liquid crystal has been conventionally studied, and it is disclosed that a liquid crystal alignment film is obtained by applying a polyamic acid solution to a substrate and heating.
- polyimide has been studied as an optical film application.
- Patent Documents 4 and 6 For example, in order to obtain a film having excellent heat resistance, transmittance, mechanical properties, and heat resistance, it is disclosed that a polyamic acid solution is heated after coating (Patent Documents 4 and 6). In addition, it is disclosed that a film is obtained by applying a polyimide solution having excellent solubility in organic solvents, heat resistance, dimensional stability, and transparency (Patent Document 5).

- Patent Document 1 discloses that an anisotropic dye film is produced by applying a dichroic dye to a polymer surface, but no consideration is given to providing an alignment film.
- Patent Documents 2 and 3 disclose that a polyimide film is obtained by applying a polyamic acid solution on a substrate and performing a heat treatment at a high temperature of 200 ° C. or higher. Therefore, an alignment film for an anisotropic dye film cannot be formed on a material having a heat resistance of 200 ° C. or less. For example, a high-intensity color filter using a dye that has been developed in recent years has a problem that the luminance is lowered when processed at a high temperature of 200 ° C. or higher.
- the alignment film using the polyamic acid as described above cannot be used as an alignment film for an anisotropic dye film.
- the imidization reaction of the alignment film proceeds, and this water generated by water breaks the association of the anisotropic dye, resulting in deterioration of the anisotropic dye film.
- the remaining amic acid site is hydrolyzed and the molecular weight of the polyimide is lowered, whereby the physical properties of the alignment film are changed and the alignment characteristics are deteriorated.
- the remaining amic acid site is hydrolyzed to generate a highly reactive carboxylic acid end or amine end, thereby accelerating the deterioration and coloring of the dye and peripheral members in the anisotropic dye film.
- Solvent molecules trapped in the amic acid moiety having a high affinity with the solvent are difficult to remove even during the drying process, and are volatilized as outgas during the subsequent process and storage, thereby degrading the device and peripheral members.
- the remaining amic acid site absorbs the solvent or the like in the anisotropic dye film composition, and the alignment film swells. Further, by releasing the absorbed water, the association of the anisotropic dye is broken and the anisotropic dye film is deteriorated.
- Patent Document 3 discloses that polyimide is used for the alignment film for liquid crystal, but no investigation is made as an alignment film for an anisotropic dye film.
- the alignment film for liquid crystal aligns liquid crystal molecules of which one molecule is about several tens of thousands.
- an alignment film for an anisotropic dye film needs to align about several hundreds of columns in which anisotropic dyes are associated. Due to the difference in size of the alignment material, the characteristics required for each alignment film are different, and the alignment film for liquid crystal cannot be diverted to the alignment film for anisotropic dye film.
- Patent Documents 4 to 6 are optical film applications, and it is difficult to divert them to alignment films for anisotropic dye films.
- Patent Documents 4 and 6 as in Patent Documents 2 and 3, in order to obtain a film, it is necessary to perform a heat treatment at a high temperature of 200 ° C. or higher after applying the polyamic acid solution. Further, according to the study by the present inventors, the polyimide used in Patent Document 5 has a high hydrophobicity, and there is a problem that the applicability to the anisotropic dye film composition is lowered.
- An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art and to provide a polyimide composition containing polyimide having excellent solubility in a solvent. Moreover, when a polyimide composition is excellent in applicability
- the inventors of the present invention have excellent solubility in a solvent of a specific structure.
- the polyimide composition can be applied. I found it excellent.
- a polyimide composition containing a highly soluble polyimide it is not necessary to perform an imidization reaction at a high temperature after coating. That is, when forming the alignment film, it is only necessary to remove the solvent of the applied alignment film, and since it can be performed at a temperature lower than 200 ° C., the alignment film can be formed on a material such as a color filter. I found it. Further, it has been found that the alignment film obtained from the polyimide composition is excellent in surface treatment resistance such as rubbing and has high alignment characteristics of the anisotropic dye film. The present invention has been accomplished based on these findings.

Improve the solubility of the polyimide in the solvent by X of the polyimide represented by the general formula (1) contained in the polyimide composition of the present invention being a tetravalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 5 or more carbon atoms. Can do. Since the polyimide in the polyimide composition is difficult to deposit, the applicability of the polyimide composition is improved. In addition, since the polyimide composition of the present invention has high solubility in a solvent even when the imidization ratio of polyimide is high, it is not necessary to carry out an imidation reaction by heating after coating, and the solvent is used at a temperature of 200 ° C. or lower. It is possible to form an alignment film by removing.

Since the polyimide has linearity, the effect of surface treatment such as rubbing on the alignment film is more easily obtained. Due to the effect of the surface treatment such as rubbing, the linearity of the polyimide in the alignment film increases, and the alignment characteristics of the anisotropic dye film formed on the surface can be enhanced. Since R 1 is a divalent organic group having an aromatic ring, the R 1 moiety exhibits an electron donating property (donor).
- the imide ring structure portion of polyimide exhibits an electron accepting property (acceptor)

Therefore, it is possible to perform a strong surface treatment on the alignment film, and further improve the alignment characteristics of the polyimide.
- the electron donating property refers to a state where the electron density of the ⁇ electron cloud on the aromatic ring is high
- the electron accepting property refers to a state where the electron density is low.
- the polyimide of the present invention is a combination of the above X and R 1 , the association of the polyimide in the polyimide composition by the donor-acceptor interaction can be improved while maintaining the solubility in a solvent. Therefore, the alignment characteristic of the obtained alignment film is improved, and the alignment characteristic of the anisotropic dye film can be enhanced.
- the alignment film of the present invention has an aromatic ring and is excellent in interaction with an anisotropic dye having an aromatic ring, the alignment characteristics of the anisotropic dye film tend to be further improved.
- the anisotropic dye has a relatively large association (column) structure of about several hundreds of pieces with which the anisotropic dye is associated.
- the anisotropic dye hardly aligns following the alignment film. Therefore, in order to align the anisotropic dye, an alignment film having high alignment characteristics is required.
- the polyimide having a specific structure according to the present invention has high alignment characteristics of the alignment film due to the above-described reasons. It is suitable for orienting the dye.
