Definitions
- the present invention relates to a transmission / scattering type liquid crystal display element that is in a transparent state when no voltage is applied and is in a scattering state when a voltage is applied.
- a TN mode As a liquid crystal display element using a liquid crystal material, a TN mode has been put into practical use. In this mode, light is switched by utilizing the optical rotation characteristics of the liquid crystal, and it is necessary to use a polarizing plate when used as a liquid crystal display element. However, the use efficiency of light becomes low by using a polarizing plate.
- a liquid crystal display element having a high light utilization efficiency without using a polarizing plate there is a liquid crystal display element that switches between a liquid crystal transmission state (also referred to as a transparent state) and a scattering state.
- a liquid crystal using a dispersion type liquid crystal (also referred to as PDLC) or a polymer network type liquid crystal (also referred to as PNLC) is known.
- a liquid crystal composition containing a polymerizable compound that is polymerized by ultraviolet rays is disposed between a pair of substrates provided with electrodes, and the liquid crystal composition is cured by irradiation with ultraviolet rays, whereby a liquid crystal layer That is, a cured product composite (for example, a polymer network) of a liquid crystal and a polymerizable compound is formed.
- This liquid crystal display element controls the transmission state and the scattering state of the liquid crystal by applying a voltage.
- liquid crystal display elements using PDLC and PNLC are in a cloudy (scattering) state because the liquid crystal molecules are in a random direction when no voltage is applied, and the liquid crystal is aligned in the direction of the electric field and transmits light when voltage is applied.
- the liquid crystal display element also referred to as a normal type element
- the liquid crystal display element is in a transmissive state.
- liquid crystal display element using PDLC also referred to as a reverse type element
- PDLC also referred to as a reverse type element
- the polymerizable compound in the liquid crystal composition in the reverse type element has a role of forming a polymer network to obtain desired optical characteristics and a role of a curing agent for improving the adhesion between the liquid crystal layer and the liquid crystal alignment film.
- a polymer network In order to increase the adhesion with the liquid crystal alignment film, it is necessary to make the polymer network denser.
- the polymer network is made dense, the vertical alignment property of the liquid crystal is inhibited, and the optical characteristics of the reverse type element, that is, There is a problem that the transparency when no voltage is applied and the scattering characteristics when a voltage is applied are deteriorated. Therefore, the liquid crystal composition used for the reverse type element needs to have a high vertical alignment property of the liquid crystal when the liquid crystal layer is formed.
- the liquid crystal alignment film used for the reverse type element is a highly hydrophobic film for aligning the liquid crystal vertically, the adhesion between the liquid crystal layer and the liquid crystal alignment film is lowered. Therefore, a large amount of a polymerizable compound that functions as a curing agent must be introduced into the liquid crystal composition used for the reverse type device. However, when a large amount of the polymerizable compound is introduced, the vertical alignment property of the liquid crystal is hindered, and there is a problem that the transparency when no voltage is applied and the scattering characteristics when a voltage is applied are greatly deteriorated.
- the device when a reverse type device is used by being attached to a window glass of an automobile or a building, the device may be used for a long time in a high temperature and high humidity environment or an environment exposed to light irradiation. Therefore, even in a harsh environment, it is necessary that the vertical alignment property of the liquid crystal does not deteriorate and the adhesion between the liquid crystal layer and the liquid crystal alignment film is high.
- the present invention has high liquid crystal vertical alignment, good optical properties, that is, good transparency when no voltage is applied and good scattering properties when no voltage is applied, and adhesion between the liquid crystal layer and the liquid crystal alignment film. Furthermore, an object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal display element that can maintain these characteristics even in an environment exposed to high temperature and high humidity or light irradiation for a long time.
- a liquid crystal composition including a liquid crystal and a polymerizable compound disposed between a pair of substrates provided with electrodes has a liquid crystal layer cured by irradiating ultraviolet rays, and at least one of the substrates vertically aligns the liquid crystal
- a liquid crystal display device comprising a liquid crystal alignment film as described above, wherein the liquid crystal alignment film is obtained from a liquid crystal alignment treatment agent containing the following components.

これら溶媒B類は、液晶配向処理剤を塗布する際の液晶配向膜の塗膜性や表面平滑性を高めることができるため、特定重合体にポリイミド前駆体、ポリイミド、ポリアミド又はポリエステルを用いた場合、前記溶媒A類と併用して用いることが好ましい。、溶媒B類は、液晶配向処理剤に含まれる溶媒全体の1~99質量%が好ましい。中でも、10~99質量%が好ましい。より好ましいのは、20~95質量%である。
液晶配向処理剤には、液晶層と液晶配向膜との密着性を高める目的で、下記式[7a-1]~式[7a-5]の化合物(密着性化合物ともいう)を使用できる。
液晶配向処理剤における密着性化合物の含有量は、全ての重合体成分100質量部に対して、0.1~150質量部が好ましい。架橋反応が進行し目的の効果を発現させるためには、全ての重合体成分100質量部に対して0.1~100質量部がより好ましく、特に、1~50質量部が最も好ましい。また、密着性化合物は、各特性に応じ、1種又は2種以上を混合して使用できる。
エポキシ基又はイソシアネート基を有する架橋性化合物として、具体的には、国際公開公報2014/171493(2014.10.23公開)の63頁~64頁に記載される化合物が挙げられる。

液晶配向処理剤には、上記以外の化合物の他に、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で誘電体や導電物質を添加してもよい。
液晶組成物は、液晶と紫外線により重合する重合性化合物を含有し、この重合性化合物が、ポリマーネットワーク(硬化性樹脂)を形成する役割を担う。また、前記の液晶層は、液晶と重合性化合物の硬化物複合体であり、ここでの硬化物複合体とは、上述した通り、例えば、重合性化合物により形成されたポリマーネットワーク中に液晶が存在しているような状態を意味する。
液晶には、ネマチック液晶、スメクチック液晶又はコレステリック液晶を使用できる。中でも、負の誘電異方性を有するものが好ましい。また、低電圧駆動及び散乱特性の点からは、誘電率の異方性が大きく、屈折率の異方性が大きいものが好ましい。また、前記の相転移温度、誘電率異方性及び屈折率異方性の各物性値に応じて、2種類以上の液晶を混合して使用できる。
更に、液晶表示素子には、液晶組成物中に二色性染料を溶解させてゲストホスト型の素子とすることもできる。この場合には、電圧無印加時は透明で、電圧印加時に吸収(散乱)となる素子が得られる。また、この液晶表示素子では、液晶のダイレクターの方向(配向の方向)は、電圧印加の有無により90度変化する。そのため、この液晶表示素子は、二色性染料の吸光特性の違いを利用することで、ランダム配向と垂直配向でスイッチングを行う従来のゲストホスト型の素子に比べて、高いコントラストが得られる。また、二色性染料を溶解させたゲストホスト型の素子では、液晶が水平方向に配向した場合に有色になり、散乱状態においてのみ不透明となる。そのため、電圧を印加するにつれ、電圧無印加時の無色透明から有色不透明、有色透明の状態に切り替わる素子を得ることもできる。
重合性化合物は、紫外線により重合反応が起こる化合物であれば良く、その際、どのような反応形式で重合が進み、液晶組成物の硬化物を形成させても良い。具体的な反応形式としては、ラジカル重合、カチオン重合、アニオン重合又は重付加反応が挙げられる。中でも、重合性化合物の反応形式は、ラジカル重合が好ましい。重合性化合物としては、ラジカル型の重合性化合物(モノマー)及びそのオリゴマーを用いることが好ましい。また、前記の通り、これらのモノマーを重合反応させたポリマーを用いることもできる。
更に、液晶組成物の硬化物の形成を促進させるため、液晶組成物中には重合性化合物のラジカル重合を促進させる目的で、紫外線によりラジカルを発生するラジカル開始剤(重合開始剤ともいう)を導入することが好ましい。具体的には、国際公開公報2014/171493(2014.10.23公開)の13~14頁に記載されるラジカル開始剤が挙げられる。また、ラジカル開始剤は、各特性に応じて、1種類又は2種類以上を混合して使用することもできる。

本発明の液晶組成物には、前記した式[1-2]の化合物を含有することが好ましい。式[1-2]中、S1、S2、S3、S4、S5、S6及びsAは、上記に定義した通りであるが、中でも、それぞれ、下記のものが好ましい。S1は、液晶表示素子の光学特性の点から、前記式[1-a]~式[1-f]、及び式[1-h]~式[1-j]が好ましい。より好ましいのは、式[1-a]、式[1-b]、式[1-d]、式[1-i]又は式[1-j]である。S2は、単結合又は炭素数1~18のアルキレン基が好ましい。中でも、単結合又は炭素数1~12のアルキレン基が好ましい。前記アルキレン基の任意の-CH2-は、-O-、-CO-、-COO-、-OCO-、-CONH-、-NHCO-、-NH-、-CON(CH3)-、-S-又は-SO2-で置き換えられても良い。
液晶組成物における液晶添加化合物の使用量は、素子の光学特性の点から、液晶添加化合物を除く液晶組成物100質量部に対して、0.1~30質量部が好ましく、より好ましくは、0.5~30質量部であり、特に好ましくは、1~20質量部である。液晶添加化合物は、2種以上を混合して使用できる。
液晶表示素子に用いる基板としては、透明性の高い基板であれば特に限定されず、ガラス基板の他、アクリル基板、ポリカーボネート基板、PET(ポリエチレンテレフタレート)基板などのプラスチック基板、更にはそれらのフィルムを使用できる。液晶表示素子をリバース型素子として、調光窓などに用いる場合には、プラスチック基板やフィルムが好ましい。また、プロセスの簡素化の観点からは、液晶駆動のためのITO(Indium Tin Oxide)電極、IZO(Indium Zinc Oxide)電極、IGZO(Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide)電極、有機導電膜などが形成された基板を用いることが好ましい。また、反射型のリバース型素子とする場合には、片側の基板のみにならば、シリコンウエハやアルミニウムなどの金属や誘電体多層膜が形成された基板を使用できる。
液晶配向処理剤の塗布方法は、特に限定されないが、工業的には、スクリーン印刷、オフセット印刷、フレキソ印刷、インクジェット法、ディップ法、ロールコータ法、スリットコータ法、スピンナー法、スプレー法などがあり、基板の種類や目的とする液晶配向膜の膜厚に応じて、適宜選択することができる。
液晶配向処理剤を基板上に塗布した後は、ホットプレート、熱循環型オーブン、IR(赤外線)型オーブンなどの加熱手段により、基板の種類や液晶配向処理剤に用いる溶媒に応じて、30~300℃、好ましくは30~250℃の温度で溶媒を蒸発させて液晶配向膜とすることができる。特に、基板にプラスチック基板を用いる場合には、30~150℃の温度で処理することが好ましい。
液晶表示素子に用いる液晶組成物は、そのなかに、液晶表示素子の電極間隙(ギャップともいう)を制御するためのスペーサーを導入することもできる。
液晶組成物の注入方法は、例えば、次の方法が挙げられる。即ち、基板にガラス基板を用いる場合、液晶配向膜が形成された一対の基板を用意し、片側の基板の4片を、一部分を除いてシール剤を塗布し、その後、液晶配向膜の面が内側になるようにして、もう片側の基板を貼り合わせた空セルを作製する。そして、シール剤が塗布されていない場所から、液晶組成物を減圧注入して、液晶組成物注入セルを得る方法が挙げられる。更に、基板にプラスチック基板やフィルムを用いる場合には、液晶配向膜が形成された一対の基板を用意し、片側の基板の上にODF(One Drop Filling)法やインクジェット法などで、液晶組成物を滴下し、その後、もう片側の基板を貼り合わせて、液晶組成物注入セルを得る方法が挙げられる。本発明では、液晶層と液晶配向膜との密着性が高いため、基板の4片にシール剤を塗布しなくても良い。
ギャップの大きさは、1~100μmが好ましく、2~50μmがより好ましく、5~20μmが特に好ましい。ギャップが小さすぎると、液晶表示素子のコントラストが低下し、大きすぎると駆動電圧が高くなる。
