以下に、実施例及び比較例で実施した評価試験の詳細を説明する。
重合性液晶組成物をメンブレンフィルター(Agilent Technologies社製、PTFE 13mm-0.2μm)にてろ過を行い、真空減圧条件にて15分間静置し溶存空気の除去を行った。これをアセトンにて洗浄し十分に乾燥させたバイアル瓶に0.5g秤量し、-25℃の低温環境下に静置した。その後、目視にて析出の有無を観察し、以下の4段階で判定した。
透明な共通電極からなる透明電極層及びカラーフィルタ層を具備した配向膜を有さない4cm四方の第一の基板(共通電極基板)と、これに対応するアクティブ素子により駆動される透明画素電極を有する画素電極層を有する配向膜を有さない第二の基板(画素電極基板)とを作製した。
A:端部なども含め、全面に滴下痕や配向ムラがなく、全面にわたり均一に垂直配向が確認される
B:ごく僅かに滴下痕や配向ムラが有るも、許容できるレベル
C:端部なども含め、滴下痕や配向ムラが多く、許容できないレベル
D:滴下痕や配向ムラが評価以前に配向不良がかなり劣悪
上記「(2)垂直配向性の評価試験)」で使用した液晶セルに、10V、100Hzの矩形交流波を印加しながら、高圧水銀ランプを用いて、365nmにおける照度が100m/cm2であるUV光を200秒間照射した。その後、白表示の安定性を、10V、100Hzの矩形交流波を印加しながらセルに物理的な外力を加え、数分静置した後にクロスニコルの状態で観察を行い、以下の4段階で評価した。
B:ごく僅かに配向欠陥が有るも、許容できるレベル
C:端部なども含め、配向欠陥が多く許容できないレベル
D:配向不良がかなり劣悪
上記(プレチルト角形成の評価試験)にて使用したセルに、さらに、東芝ライテック社製のUV蛍光ランプを60分間照射した(313nmにおける照度1.7mW/cm2)後の、モノマーの残存量をHPLCにて定量し、残存モノマー量を決定した。モノマーの残存量に応じて、以下の4段階で評価した。
B:300ppm以上500ppm未満
C:500ppm以上1500ppm未満
D:1500ppm以上
得られた液晶セルについて、液晶分子のプレチルト角を、プレチルト角測定システム(シンテック社製、「OPTIPRO」)を用いて測定した。このプレチルト角を初期値とした。次に、液晶セルに対して、周波数100Hzで30Vの矩形電圧を印加しつつ、バックライトから10時間連続して光を照射した。その後、プレチルト角を再度測定し、プレチルト角(試験後値)とした。なお、30Vの電圧の大きさは通常の駆動電圧の数倍大きく、加速試験となっている。測定されたプレチルト角(初期値)からプレチルト角(試験後値)を減算した値を、プレチルト角変化量(=プレチルト角変化の絶対値)[°]として、以下の基準に従って評価した。なお、プレチルト角変化量は、0[°]に近い程、プレチルト角の変化による表示不良が発生する可能性がより低くなる。
A:0.05°超0.1以内の変化(表示不良が生じにくい)
B:0.1°超0.3°以内の変化(かなり表示不良が生じる)
C:0.3°超の変化(表示不良が生じ許容できないレベル)
D:0.5°超の変化(表示不良がひどく全く許容できないレベル)
