Abstract
The present invention relates to a liquid crystal aligning agent composition capable of securing a high imidization rate under relatively mild curing conditions, minimizing side reactions and thus having excellent stability, a method for producing a liquid crystal alignment film using the same, and a liquid crystal alignment film and a liquid crystal display device using the same.
Claims19
A liquid crystal aligning agent composition comprising:
- i) a first polymer for a liquid crystal aligning agent including two or more repeating units selected from the group consisting of a repeating unit represented by Chemical Formula 1, a repeating unit represented by Chemical Formula 2, and a repeating unit represented by Chemical Formula 3, wherein the first polymer includes the repeating unit represented by Chemical Formula 1 in an amount of 5 mol % to 74 mol % with respect to a total of the repeating units represented by the Chemical Formulae 1 to 3,
- ii) a second polymer for a liquid crystal aligning agent including a repeating unit represented by Chemical Formula 4,
- iii) a compound having two or more epoxy groups in a molecule, and
- iv) a catalyst including at least one selected from the group consisting of a cyclic tertiary amine compound having 1 to 10 hydroxy groups, and a linear tertiary amine compound having 2 to 10 hydroxy groups,
- wherein the cyclic tertiary amine compound having 1 to 10 hydroxy groups introduced therein includes a nitrogen-containing heteroalicyclic compound containing one or more nitrogen atoms and wherein the heteroalicyclic compound contains 1 to 10 hydroxyalkyl groups each bonded to a nitrogen:
- [Chemical Formula 1]
- wherein, in Chemical Formulae 1 to 4,
- at least one of R1 and R2 is a C1-10 alkyl, and the rest is hydrogen,
- R3 and R4 are each independently hydrogen or C1-10 alkyl,

- X2, X3, and X4 are each independently a tetravalent organic group derived from a hydrocarbon having 4 to 20 carbon atoms, or a tetravalent organic group in which at least one H in the tetravalent organic group is substituted with a halogen, or at least one —CH2—is replaced by —O—, —CO—, —S—, —SO—, —SO2—, or —CONH— such that oxygen or sulfur atoms are not directly linked, and
- wherein, in Chemical Formula 5,
- R5 to R8 are each independently hydrogen or a C1-6 alkyl,
- Y1, Y2, Y3 and Y4 are each independently a divalent organic group represented by Chemical Formula 6,
- wherein, in Chemical Formula 6,
- R9 and R10 are each independently a halogen, a cyano, a C1-10 alkyl, a C2-10 alkenyl, a C1-10 alkoxy, a C1-10 fluoroalkyl, or a C1-10 fluoroalkoxy,
- p and q are each independently an integer between 0 and 4, and
- L1 is a single bond, —O—, —CO—, —S—, —SO2—, —C(CH3)2—, —C(CF3)2—, —CONH—, —COO—, —(CH2)z—, —O(CH2)zO—, —O(CH2)z—, —OCH2—C(CH3)2—CH2O—, —COO(—CH2)z—OCO—, or —OCO—(CH2)z—COO—,
- wherein z is an integer between 1 and 10, and
- m is an integer between 0 and 3.
