Description

Liquid crystal aligning agent, liquid crystal alignment film, and liquid crystal display element using same
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a liquid crystal aligning agent, a liquid crystal alignment film, and a liquid crystal display element using the liquid crystal alignment film.
Background
In a liquid crystal display element, a liquid crystal alignment film plays a role of aligning liquid crystals in a certain direction. As the liquid crystal alignment film, a polyimide-based liquid crystal alignment film has been mainly used, which is obtained by applying a liquid crystal alignment agent containing a polyimide precursor such as polyamic acid and a solution of a soluble polyimide as main components onto a glass substrate or the like and firing the applied liquid crystal alignment agent.
As the liquid crystal display device has been highly functionalized, the liquid crystal alignment film is required to have not only excellent liquid crystal alignment properties and a stable pretilt angle but also high voltage holding ratio, low residual charge when a dc voltage is applied, and/or characteristics such that the residual charge accumulated by the dc voltage is quickly relaxed.
In order to meet the above requirements, various proposals have been made. For example, patent document 1 proposes a liquid crystal aligning agent composed of an imidized polymer satisfying the following formula (1).

Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
With the recent enhancement of the performance of liquid crystal display elements, liquid crystal display elements are used for liquid crystal television vehicle-mounted applications with a large screen and high definition, for example, vehicle navigation systems, instrument panels, and the like. In such applications, in addition to the requirement for good initial characteristics, it is also required that the voltage holding ratio is not easily lowered even after a long-term exposure to high temperature and high humidity.
In addition, in general, when a liquid crystal aligning agent having a high imidization rate is used, a high voltage holding ratio is easily obtained, but there is a problem that when the solubility in a solvent is lowered and when printing is performed on a substrate, polyimide is precipitated due to moisture absorption, and a phenomenon that varnish is easily whitened occurs. Therefore, even when a liquid crystal aligning agent having a low imidization rate is used, it is required that the voltage holding ratio of the liquid crystal alignment film is not easily lowered.
However, patent document 1 does not disclose the voltage holding ratio after exposure to high temperature and high humidity. In addition, the examples of patent document 1 only disclose the case of using a liquid crystal aligning agent having a high imidization rate.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a liquid crystal aligning agent capable of providing a liquid crystal alignment film which maintains a voltage holding ratio even after exposure to high temperature and high humidity. Further, another object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal aligning agent which can provide a liquid crystal alignment film maintaining a voltage holding ratio even when the imidization ratio is low.
Means for solving the problems
The present inventors have conducted extensive studies to solve the above problems, and as a result, have found that a liquid crystal aligning agent containing a specific polymer satisfies the above problems.
The present invention has been completed based on the above-described findings, and the following contents are the gist.
A liquid crystal aligning agent comprising at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of a polyimide precursor obtained by polymerizing a tetracarboxylic acid component with either of a diamine component (1) and a diamine component (2) described below and a polyimide obtained by imidizing the polyimide precursor.
Diamine component (1): a diamine component containing a diamine having a protecting group substituted with a hydrogen atom by heat and a diamine having a siloxane skeleton.
Diamine component (2): a diamine component containing a diamine having a protecting group substituted with a hydrogen atom by heat and a siloxane skeleton.
Effects of the invention
According to the liquid crystal aligning agent of the present invention, a liquid crystal alignment film maintaining a voltage holding ratio even after exposure to high temperature and high humidity can be obtained. Further, according to the liquid crystal aligning agent of the present invention, a liquid crystal alignment film maintaining a voltage holding ratio can be obtained even when the imidization rate is low. In addition, the liquid crystal aligning agent of the present invention is excellent in solubility and seal adhesion.

< method for producing specific Polymer >
The specific polymer is at least one selected from the group consisting of a polyimide precursor obtained by polymerizing a diamine component and a tetracarboxylic acid component, and a polyimide obtained by imidizing the polyimide precursor.
The reaction of the diamine component with the tetracarboxylic acid component is usually carried out in a solvent. The solvent used in this case is not particularly limited as long as the polyimide precursor formed by dissolution is obtained. Specific examples of the solvent used in the reaction are given below, but the solvent is not limited to these examples.
For example, there may be mentioned: n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone, γ -butyrolactone, N-dimethylformamide, N-dimethylacetamide, 3-methoxy-N, N-dimethylpropane amide, 3-butoxy-N, N-dimethylpropane amide, dimethyl sulfoxide or 1, 3-dimethyl-imidazolidinone. When the polyimide precursor has high solubility in a solvent, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, cyclopentanone, 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol monopropyl ether, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol monopropyl ether, and the like can be used.
These solvents may be used alone or in combination. Further, even if the solvent is a solvent that does not dissolve the polyimide precursor, the solvent may be used in a mixture with the polyimide precursor within a range where the polyimide precursor to be produced does not precipitate. Further, the solvent is preferably dehydrated and dried because moisture in the solvent inhibits the polymerization reaction and causes hydrolysis of the polyimide precursor to be produced.
When the diamine component and the tetracarboxylic acid component are reacted in a solvent, the following methods may be mentioned: a method of adding the tetracarboxylic acid component directly or by dispersing or dissolving the tetracarboxylic acid component in a solvent by stirring a solution obtained by dispersing or dissolving the diamine component in the solvent; on the contrary, any of a method of adding a diamine component to a solution in which a tetracarboxylic acid component is dispersed or dissolved in a solvent, a method of alternately adding a diamine component and a tetracarboxylic acid component to a reaction system, and the like can be used. In addition, in the case of using a plurality of diamine components or tetracarboxylic acid components and reacting them, they may be reacted in a state of being mixed in advance, or may be reacted in sequence individually, or may be reacted by mixing low molecular weight substances obtained by reacting individually to produce a polymer.
The temperature for polycondensation of the diamine component and the tetracarboxylic acid component can be selected from any temperature of-20 to 150 ℃, preferably from-5 to 100 ℃. The reaction may be carried out at any concentration, but if the concentration is too low, it becomes difficult to obtain a polymer having a high molecular weight, and if the concentration is too high, the viscosity of the reaction solution becomes too high, and uniform stirring becomes difficult. Therefore, the concentration of the polymer is preferably 1 to 50% by mass, more preferably 5 to 30% by mass. The reaction is carried out at a high concentration in the initial stage, and then a solvent may be added.
In the polymerization reaction for obtaining the polyimide precursor, the ratio of the total mole number of the tetracarboxylic acid component to the total mole number of the diamine component is preferably 0.8 to 1.2. Similarly to the ordinary polycondensation reaction, the molecular weight of the polyimide precursor to be produced is increased as the molar ratio is closer to 1.0.
The imidized polymer is a polyimide obtained by ring-closing a polyimide precursor, and in this polyimide, the ring-closing ratio (also referred to as imidization ratio) of an amic acid (amic acid) group) does not need to be always 100%, and can be arbitrarily adjusted depending on the application and purpose.
Examples of the method for imidizing the polyimide precursor include: thermal imidization in which a solution of a polyimide precursor is directly heated, or imidization in which a catalyst is added to a solution of a polyimide precursor.
The temperature for thermal imidization of the polyimide precursor in the solution is preferably 100 to 400 ℃, more preferably 120 to 250 ℃, and a method of performing imidization while removing water generated by imidization reaction from the system is preferable. The catalyst imidization of the polyimide precursor can be carried out by: a basic catalyst and an acid anhydride are added to a solution of a polyimide precursor, and the mixture is stirred at-20 to 250 ℃, preferably at 0 to 180 ℃.
The amount of the basic catalyst is preferably 0.5 to 30 times, more preferably 2 to 20 times, the amount of the acid anhydride is preferably 1 to 50 times, more preferably 3 to 30 times, the amount of the acid amide group.
Examples of the basic catalyst include: pyridine, triethylamine, trimethylamine, tributylamine, trioctylamine, and the like. Among them, pyridine is preferable because it has a moderate basicity for proceeding the reaction.
Examples of the acid anhydride include: acetic anhydride, trimellitic anhydride, pyromellitic anhydride (pyromellitic anhydride), and the like. In particular, the use of acetic anhydride is preferable because purification after completion of the reaction is easy. The imidization rate obtained by the imidization of the catalyst can be controlled by adjusting the amount of the catalyst, the reaction temperature, and the reaction time.
The polyimide precursor or the imidized polymer thereof of the present invention has an imidization ratio of preferably 1 to 95%, more preferably 20% or more and 80% or less, and still more preferably 40% or more and 70% or less.
When the polyimide precursor or the imidized polymer thereof formed from the reaction solution is recovered, the reaction solution may be put into a solvent to precipitate the polyimide precursor or the imidized polymer thereof. As the solvent for precipitation, there may be mentioned: methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetone, hexane, butyl cellosolve, heptane, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, toluene, benzene, water, etc. The polymer precipitated by charging the solvent may be recovered by filtration, and then dried at normal temperature or under reduced pressure or by heating. Further, the operation of dissolving the polymer recovered by precipitation in the solvent again and recovering the polymer by reprecipitation is repeated 2 to 10 times, whereby impurities in the polymer can be reduced. Examples of the solvent in this case include: alcohols, ketones, hydrocarbons, and the like. If three or more solvents selected from them are used, the purification efficiency is further improved, and therefore, it is preferable.
In the present invention, when the polyimide precursor is a polyamic acid alkyl ester, specific examples of a method for producing the polyimide precursor include methods described in paragraphs [0054] to [0062] of International publication No. WO 2011-115077.

The liquid crystal aligning agent of the present invention may contain other polymers than the specific polymer. Examples of the polymer other than the specific polymer include: cellulosic polymers, acrylic polymers, methacrylic polymers, polystyrene, polyamides, polysiloxanes, and the like. The content of the polymer other than the specific polymer is preferably 0.5 to 15 parts by mass, more preferably 1 to 10 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the specific polymer.
The liquid crystal aligning agent usually contains an organic solvent, but the content of the organic solvent is preferably 70 to 99.9 mass% with respect to the liquid crystal aligning agent. The content may be appropriately changed depending on the method of applying the liquid crystal aligning agent and the target film thickness of the liquid crystal alignment film.
The organic solvent used in the liquid crystal aligning agent is preferably a solvent (also referred to as a good solvent) that dissolves the specific polymer. For example, there may be mentioned: n, N-dimethylformamide, N-dimethylacetamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, γ -butyrolactone, 1, 3-dimethyl-imidazolidinone, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, cyclopentanone, 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone, 3-methoxy-N, N-dimethylpropane amide, 3-butoxy-N, N-dimethylpropane amide, and the like.

< method for producing liquid crystal alignment film >
The liquid crystal alignment film is obtained by coating the liquid crystal alignment agent on a substrate to form a coating film, preferably drying the coating film, and then baking the coating film. As the substrate, a substrate having high transparency is preferable, and as the material thereof, ceramics such as glass and silicon nitride; and plastics such as acrylic and polycarbonate. As the substrate, a substrate formed with an ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) electrode or the like for driving a liquid crystal is preferably used in view of simplification of the process. In the reflective liquid crystal display element, an opaque substrate such as a silicon wafer may be used as a single-sided substrate, and a material that reflects light such as aluminum may be used as an electrode.
The method of forming a coating film on a substrate with a liquid crystal aligning agent may be industrially used, for example, screen printing, offset printing, flexographic printing, and inkjet printing, and may also be used, depending on the purpose, immersion, roll coating, slit coating, spin coating, and spray coating.
After the coating of the liquid crystal aligning agent is formed on the substrate, the coating is preferably dried by a heating means such as a hot plate, a thermal cycle oven, or an IR (infrared ray) oven, preferably at 30 to 120 ℃, more preferably at 50 to 120 ℃, for preferably 1 to 10 minutes, and more preferably for 1 to 5 minutes, to evaporate the solvent.
When the imide precursor in the polymer is thermally imidized, the coating film obtained from the liquid crystal aligning agent is then subjected to a firing treatment by the same heating means as the above-mentioned drying treatment, preferably at 120 to 250 ℃, more preferably at 150 to 230 ℃. The time of the firing treatment varies depending on the firing temperature, and is preferably 5 minutes to 1 hour, and more preferably 5 minutes to 40 minutes.
The thickness of the film after the baking treatment is not particularly limited, but if it is too thin, the reliability of the liquid crystal display element may be lowered, and if it is too thick, the resistance of the obtained liquid crystal alignment film may be increased, and therefore, it is preferably 5 to 300nm, and more preferably 10 to 200 nm.
After the above-described firing treatment, the obtained coating film is subjected to an orientation treatment. Examples of the orientation treatment include: brushing treatment, photo-alignment treatment, and the like.
As a specific example of the photo-alignment treatment, the surface of the coating film is irradiated with radiation deflected in a certain direction. As the radiation, ultraviolet rays or visible rays having a wavelength of 100 to 800nm can be used. Among them, ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of 100 to 400nm are preferable, and ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of 200 to 400nm are more preferable. In order to improve the liquid crystal alignment properties, the substrate coated with the liquid crystal alignment film may be irradiated with ultraviolet rays while being heated at 50 to 250 ℃. The irradiation amount of the radiation is preferably 1 to 10000mJ/cm2. Among them, preferred is100~5000mJ/cm2. The liquid crystal alignment film thus produced can stably align liquid crystal molecules in a certain direction.
The higher the extinction ratio of the polarized ultraviolet ray, the higher the anisotropy can be imparted, and therefore, the higher the extinction ratio is preferable. Specifically, the extinction ratio of ultraviolet rays polarized in a straight line is preferably 10: 1 or more, and more preferably 20: 1 or more.
The film subjected to the alignment treatment may be further subjected to at least one treatment selected from the group consisting of a heating treatment and a contact treatment with a solvent.
The heat treatment after the orientation treatment may be performed by the same heating means as the above-mentioned drying treatment and firing treatment, and is preferably performed at 180 to 250 ℃, and more preferably at 180 to 230 ℃. When the temperature of the heat treatment is in the above range, the contrast of the liquid crystal display element obtained from the liquid crystal alignment film obtained can be improved.
The time of the heat treatment varies depending on the heating temperature, but is preferably 5 minutes to 1 hour, and more preferably 5 to 40 minutes.
The solvent used for the contact treatment with the solvent is not particularly limited as long as it dissolves impurities and the like adhering to the liquid crystal alignment film.
Specific examples thereof include: water, methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, 1-methoxy-2-propanol acetate, butyl cellosolve, ethyl lactate, methyl lactate, diacetone alcohol, methyl 3-methoxypropionate, ethyl 3-ethoxypropionate, propyl acetate, butyl acetate, cyclohexyl acetate, and the like. Among them, water, 2-propanol, 1-methoxy-2-propanol, or ethyl lactate is preferable from the viewpoint of versatility and safety of the solvent. More preferably water, 1-methoxy-2-propanol or ethyl lactate. One or two or more of these solvents may be used.
Examples of the contact treatment include: dipping treatment, and spraying treatment (also referred to as spray treatment). The treatment time in these treatments is preferably 10 seconds to 1 hour, and particularly, the immersion treatment may be performed for 1 to 30 minutes. The temperature during the contact treatment may be normal temperature or heating, and is preferably 10 to 80 ℃ and 20 to 50 ℃ may be mentioned. In the contact treatment, ultrasonic treatment or the like may be performed as necessary.
After the contact treatment, washing (also referred to as rinsing) with a low boiling point solvent such as water, methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, acetone, or methyl ethyl ketone, and drying may be performed. In this case, either rinsing or drying may be performed, or both may be performed. The drying temperature is preferably 50 to 150 ℃, and 80 to 120 ℃ can be mentioned. The drying time is preferably 10 seconds to 30 minutes, and preferably 1 to 10 minutes.
After the contact treatment with the solvent, the heat treatment after the alignment treatment may be performed. By adopting such a constitution, a liquid crystal alignment film having excellent liquid crystal alignment properties can be obtained.

The liquid crystal display element of the present invention is an element produced by obtaining a substrate with a liquid crystal alignment film from the liquid crystal alignment agent, then producing a liquid crystal cell (cell) by a known method, and using the liquid crystal cell.
As an example of a method for manufacturing a liquid crystal cell, a liquid crystal display element having a passive matrix structure will be described. Note that each pixel portion constituting image display may be a liquid crystal display element having an active matrix (active matrix) structure in which a conversion element such as a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) is provided.
Specifically, a transparent glass substrate is prepared, a common electrode is provided on one substrate, and a segment electrode is provided on the other substrate. These electrodes may be, for example, ITO electrodes, and may be patterned so as to display a desired image. Next, an insulating film is provided on each substrate so as to cover the common electrode and the segment electrode. The insulating film may be formed of, for example, SiO formed by a sol-gel method2-TiO2And (3) a film of the composition. Next, under the above conditions, liquid crystal alignment films were formed on the respective substrates, one substrate and the other substrate were stacked so that the liquid crystal alignment films faced each other, and the peripheries thereof were bonded with a sealant. In the sealant, it is generally preferable to mix a spacer in order to control the substrate gap. Further, it is preferable that spacers for controlling the substrate gap are scattered also in the surface portion where the sealing agent is not provided. An opening capable of being filled with liquid crystal from the outside is provided in advance in a part of the sealant.
Then, a liquid crystal material is injected into a space surrounded by the two substrates and the sealant through an opening provided in the sealant. Next, the opening is sealed with an adhesive. For the injection, there may be mentioned: the vacuum infusion method, a method utilizing the capillary phenomenon in the atmosphere, or an ODF (One Drop Fill: liquid crystal Drop) method may be used. As the liquid crystal material, either positive or negative dielectric anisotropy may be used. In the present invention, from the viewpoint of liquid crystal alignment properties, one having negative dielectric anisotropy is preferable, and can be used depending on the application.
After the liquid crystal material is injected into the liquid crystal cell, the polarizing plate is disposed. Specifically, a pair of polarizing plates is preferably attached to the surfaces of the two substrates opposite to the liquid crystal layer.

Two polyimide-coated substrates were prepared by the above method, and after spreading 4 μm bead spacers on the liquid crystal alignment film surface of one substrate, a thermosetting sealing material (XN-1500T, Co., Ltd.) was printed thereon. Next, the other substrate was bonded to the previous substrate with the surface on which the liquid crystal alignment film was formed being the inside, and the sealing material was cured to produce an empty cell. The empty cell was filled with liquid crystal MLC-3023 (trade name, manufactured by MERCK) containing a polymerizable compound for PSA by a reduced pressure injection method to prepare a liquid crystal cell.
