Abstract
A problem is, in a liquid crystal film in which an alignment layer and a liquid crystal composition layer having homogeneous alignment are formed on a support substrate, to improve adhesion between the alignment layer and the liquid crystal composition layer, and durability under a severe environment such as high temperature and high humidity. A solution is a non-liquid crystalline polymerizable compound having a radically polymerizable group and a cationically polymerizable group in a molecule is simultaneously used as an antistripping additive in a polymerizable liquid crystal composition layer having homogeneous alignment.
Claims17
A film comprising at least an alignment layer and a liquid crystal composition layer in order on a support substrate,
- wherein the liquid crystal composition layer is obtained by immobilizing alignment of a polymerizable liquid crystal compound contained in a polymerizable liquid crystal composition, an alignment state thereof includes homogeneous alignment, and the polymerizable liquid crystal composition contains one kind or two or more kinds of antistripping additives having a radically polymerizable group and a cationically polymerizable group in a molecule, the polymerizable liquid crystal compound consisting essentially of one or more compounds selected from the formula
- R1—X1A1-Z1sA1-X1—P1 (M1)
- P1—X1A1-Z1sA1-X1—P1 (M2)
- wherein P1 is independently a polymerizable group;
- R1 is independently hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, —CN or alkyl having 1 to 20 carbons, and in the alkyl, arbitrary —CH2— may be replaced by —O—, —COO— or —OCO—, and arbitrary hydrogen may be replaced by halogen;
- A1 is independently 1,4-cyclohexylene, 1,4-phenylene, pyridine-2,5-diyl, pyrimidine-2,5-diyl, naphthalene-2,6-diyl or fluorene-2,7-diyl, but arbitrary hydrogen may be replaced by halogen, alkyl having 1 to 5 carbons or alkyl halide having 1 to 5 carbons;
- X1 is independently a single bond or alkylene having 1 to 20 carbons, and arbitrary —CH2— in the alkylene may be replaced by —O—,—COO— or —OCO—;
- Z1 is independently a single bond, —COO—, —OCO—, —CH2CH2—, —CH═CH—, —C≡C—, —CH2O—, —OCH2—, —CF2O—, —OCF2—, —CH2CH2COO—, —OCOCH2CH2—, —CH═CHCOO— or —OCOCH═CH—;
- and s is independently an integer from 1 to 5.
