Method for producing liquid crystal display, liquid crystal aligning agent, liquid crystal alignment film, and liquid crystal device

A method for producing a liquid crystal display, comprising:

• providing a first substrate having a first electrode and a second electrode on a surface of the first substrate, the first electrode and the second electrode being made of conductive films;
• applying a liquid crystal aligning agent to the surface of the first substrate to form an alignment film on the first substrate, the liquid crystal aligning agent including at least one of:
• a polymer that includes a photoalignment structure and a polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond;
• a polymer that includes a photoalignment structure, and a component that includes a polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond;
• or
• a polymer that includes a photoalignment structure and a polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond, and a component that includes a polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond;
• providing a second substrate to sandwich a liquid crystal layer between the alignment film on the first substrate and the second substrate to form a liquid crystal cell, the liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal molecules;
• and
• applying light to the liquid crystal cell in a state in which a voltage that does not drive the liquid crystal molecules included in the liquid crystal layer is applied between the first electrode and the second electrode, or in a state in which a voltage is not applied between the first electrode and the second electrode.
