摘要:
Orientation control films (4) are coated and rubbed on a pair of transparent substrates (2) on the side contiguous to the terroelectric liquid crystal layer (1) for aligning molecules threof. The film (4) is made of a polyimide Polymer prepared by ring closure by heating and dehydrating of a polyamic acid which is synthetized by condensing pyromelli- tie dianhydride with 4,4-diaminoterphenyl. A contrast ratio of the ferroelectric liquid crystal element is improved while keeping a high responsibility charactéristics of the férroelec- tric liquid crystal materials.

摘要:
A liquid crystal display element comprising a pair of substrates, a pair of electrodes provided on the respective substrates, at least one of which is transparent and a liquid crystal layer disposed between said substrates, the liquid crystal layer comprising a nematic liquid crystal, which exhibits a positive dielectric constant anisotropy and contains an optically active substance, the liquid crystal molecule orientation direction in the liquid crystal layer is twisted in the range of 200° to 250° from the one substrate surface toward the other substrate surface so as to form a helical structure therein. A polyimide orientation film is provided between the electrodes and the liquid crystal layer. The polyimide orientation film is one made of polyimide prepared by reacting a diamine compound having a long-chain hydrocarbon group or a diamine compound having a trifluoromethyl group with a tetracarboxylic dianhydride and causes a pretilt angle of at least 3° relative to the nematic liquid crystal molecules. The liquid crystal display element of the present invention is free from a scattering domain.
