次に、この液晶セルに15VのDC電圧を印加した状態で、この液晶セルの外側から325nmカットフィルターを通したUVを10J/cm2照射(1次PSA処理とも称する)した。なお、UVの照度は、ORC社製UV-MO3Aを用いて測定した。
その後、液晶セル中に残存している未反応の重合性化合物を失活させる目的で、電圧を印加していない状態で東芝ライテック社製UV-FL照射装置を用いてUV(UVランプ:FLR40SUV32/A-1)を30分間照射(2次PSA処理と称する)した。その後、プレチルト角の測定を行った。
LCDアナライザー(名菱テクニカ社製LCA-LUV42A)を使用して、上記で作製したプレチルト角評価液晶セルのプレチルト角測定を行った。ここで測定した230℃の赤外線加熱炉で20分間焼成したポリイミド塗布基板を用いたプレチルト角から60分間焼成したポリイミド塗布基板を用いたプレチルト角を引いた値をプレチルト角差とした。評価結果を、表4に示す。
実施例1~5および比較例1、2の液晶配向剤10g攪拌している中にそれぞれBCSを滴下し、白濁する重量から、下記式で溶解性を算出した。評価結果を、表5に示す。
溶解性(%)=(液晶配向剤中のBCS量+滴下BCS量)/
(液晶配向剤量+滴下BCS量)×100
実施例1~5および比較例1、2の液晶配向剤を、それぞれ、純水及びIPA(イソプロピルアルコール)で洗浄したITO付きガラス基板(縦30mm、横40mm、厚み0.7mm)のITO面にスピンコートし、70℃で90秒間ホットプレートにて焼成した後、230℃の赤外線加熱炉で20分間焼成を行い、膜厚100nmのポリイミド塗布基板を作製した。
上記方法でポリイミド塗布基板を二枚作製し、一方の基板の液晶配向膜面上に4μmbビーズスペーサーを塗布した後、シール剤(協立化学社製、XN-1500T)を滴下した。次いで、もう一方の基板の液晶配向膜面を内側にし、基板の重なり幅が1cm、シール剤の直径が3mmに近い円形になるように、貼り合わせた。貼り合わせた2枚のポリイミド塗布基板を固定した後、150℃の熱風循環オーブンにて1時間焼成を行い、密着性評価用サンプルを作製した。
上記密着性評価用サンプルを卓上形精密万能試験機(島津製作所社製、AGS-X 500N)の三点曲げ治具の下部(間隔64cm)に密着性評価用基板を固定した後、基板中央部の上部から5mm/分の速度で押し込みを行い、剥離する際の力(N)を測定した。上記方法で測定した剥離する際の力(N)をシール剤の直径で割った値をシール密着性として評価した。シール評価結果を、表5に示す。
