In addition, it is considered that the above effect was obtained because the same trapping phenomenon for impurities also occurs in the ester bond of the specific diamine. Furthermore, since the specific diamine has an ester bond or an alkylene chain, the stretchability of the polymer during alignment treatment is increased, and high liquid crystal alignment is obtained, so the occurrence of AC afterimage is suppressed.
