Abstract:
Disclosed therein are a photoalignment polyimide copolymer making it easier to form a liquid crystal alignment layer with excellences in alignment properties, thermal and structural stabilities, and adhesiveness to a substrate, and a liquid crystal alignment layer using the same. The photoalignment polyimide copolymer includes all the three types of repeating units each having a defined structure.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a photo-curable composition that can provide a film, etc. showing excellent optical anisotropy even without need for separately forming a liquid crystal layer and an alignment layer, an optical anisotropic film using the same, and its preparation method. The photo-curable composition comprises a photo-alignable polymer, a noncrosslinkable liquid crystal compound and a photo-curable binder.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a norbornene monomer, a polynorbornene derivative, a liquid crystal alignment film including the same, and a liquid crystal display device including the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a norbornene monomer, a polynorbornene derivative, a liquid crystal alignment film including the same, and a liquid crystal display device including the same, which have an alignment property by photoreaction, excellent thermal stability and photoreactivity, the increased photo-reaction rate and reliability of the alignment film, thereby showing high manufacturing process efficiency.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a photoalignment layer, for example, a liquid crystal alignment layer, which is able to realize the wide viewing angle and contrast ratio characteristics of a photopolymerizable alignment layer, and to facilitate interaction with the liquid crystal layer, thereby improving alignment stability and reducing image sticking, and a liquid crystal cell including the same. The liquid crystal alignment layer includes a photo-alignment layer including a photo-alignment polymer having at least partially photo-aligned photoreactive groups; and a mesogen layer including a cured product of a reactive mesogen that is liquid crystal-aligned by the photo-aligned photoreactive group, in which the photo-alignment polymer include a norbornene-based polymer having a particular structure.
