本発明において、(A)成分である特定ポリイミドは、式[1]で表される繰り返し単位の構造式を有するポリアミド酸をイミド化させた重合体であり、該重合体の分子内にカルボキシル基を有するポリイミドであればその構造は特に限定されない。このポリイミドは、テトラカルボン酸二無水物とジアミンとを原料とすることで比較的簡便に得られるために、式[1]で表される繰り返し単位の構造式を有するポリアミド酸をイミド化させた重合体が好ましい。
液晶のプレチルト角を大きくするという目的では、式[2]の構造を1モル%以上用いることが好ましい。液晶を垂直に配向させるという目的では、10モル%以上用いることが好ましく、より好ましくは、15モル%以上である。式[3]、[4]、及び[9]~[12]の構造を含む特定ポリイミドも同様である。
特定ポリイミドは、上記ポリアミド酸をイミド化させる際のイミド化率を通常は100%未満に制御することで得ることができる。
また、特定ポリイミドは、式[1]で表される繰り返し単位の構造式中に、繰り返し単位に下記の式[5]で表される構造単位を含むポリアミド酸をイミド化したものを含んでもよい。
特定ポリイミド中のカルボキシル基の量は、本発明の効果が効率よく得られるという理由から、ポリイミドとしての構造式の繰り返し単位に対する平均値で0.1~4個であることが好ましく、より好ましくは0.3~3個であり、特に好ましくは0.5~2.5個である。この時の繰り返し単位とは、イミド化されていないアミド酸基を含んでいる単位も合わせたものである。例えば、式[1]表される繰り返し単位からなるポリアミド酸をイミド化して得られるポリイミドの場合、イミド化率が100%未満では下記の式[16a]~[16d]の構造の組合せから構成されることが考えられるが、上記でカルボキシル基の量を算出する場合の繰り返し単位には式[16a]~[16d]の全てが含まれる。
(i)イミド化していないアミド酸由来のカルボキシル基の、ポリイミドとしての構造式の繰り返し単位に対する平均値:P
(ii)前記式[5]のR3、R4に含まれるカルボキシル基の、ポリイミドとしての構造式の繰り返し単位に対する平均値:Q
そして、上記(i)のPは、イミド化率(z)を用いて下記の式(1)から算出できる。なお、イミド化率(z)は、例えば、後記する<イミド化率の測定>から求められる。
P=2×(1-z/100) (1)
一方、上記(ii)のQは、式[5]のR3に含まれるカルボキシル基の、ポリイミドとしての構造式の繰り返し単位に対する平均値:Q1とR4に含まれるカルボキシル基の、ポリイミドとしての構造式の繰り返し単位に対する平均値:Q2との和で求められる。
上記のR3、R4は、それぞれ、特定ポリイミドを得るために用いる原料の1部又は全部であるテトラカルボン酸二無水物残基(R3)、ジアミン残基(R4)である。
そのため、上記Q1は、特定ポリイミドを得るために用いるテトラカルボン酸二無水物の合計モル量中における下記の式[V1]で表されるテトラカルボン酸二無水物のモル分率を用いて、下記の式(3)から算出される。
Q2=β2×W3/W4 (4)
ここで、β2はR4に含有されるカルボキシル基の個数を表し、W3は式[V2]で表されるジアミンのモル量であり、W4はジアミンの合計モル量を表す。
かくして、カルボキシル基の量は下記の式(5)で求められる。
特定ポリイミド中のカルボキシル基の量
=P+Q1+Q2
=2×(1-z/100)+β1×W1/W2+β2×W3/W4 (5)
(1)イミド化率を制御することで調整する手段、
(2)式[5]のR3又はR4に含まれるカルボキシル基の数、及び式[1]で表される繰り返し単位の構造式中における式[5]の比率によって調整する手段、
のいずれであってもよい。更に、(1)と(2)の手段を併用することもできる。
式[1]におけるR1の具体例を挙げるとすれば以下の通りである。
式[1]において、R2は、式[2]で示される構造以外の有機基を含んでいてもよい。その具体例を挙げるとすれば以下の通りである。
前記(2)の手段によって特定ポリイミド中のカルボキシル基の量を調整する場合、R3又はR4のいずれかにカルボキシル基を有していればその構造は特に限定されない。また、カルボキシル基の数は、R3及びR4にそれぞれ0~2個(ただし、R3又はR4のいずれか一方には少なくとも1個のカルボキシル基を有する。)が好ましい。
本発明に用いる(A)成分である特定ポリイミドの製造方法は特に限定されないが、一般的には、テトラカルボン酸及びその誘導体から選ばれる1種又は複数種からなるテトラカルボン酸成分と、1種又は複数種のジアミン化合物からなるジアミン成分とを反応して、式[1]で表される繰り返し単位の構造式を有するポリアミド酸を合成し、該ポリアミド酸をイミド化してポリイミドとする方法が用いられる。
ここで言うところのテトラカルボン酸及びその誘導体とは、テトラカルボン酸、テトラカルボン酸ジハライド又はテトラカルボン酸二無水物である。なかでも、テトラカルボン酸二無水物はジアミン化合物との反応性が高いので好ましい。
例えば、式[17]で表されるテトラカルボン酸二無水物から選ばれる少なくとも一種を含むテトラカルボン酸成分と、式[18]で表されるジアミン化合物から選ばれる少なくとも一種を含むジアミン成分とを、N-メチルピロリドン、N,N’-ジメチルアセトアミド、N,N’-ジメチルホルムアミド、γ-ブチロラクトンなどの有機溶媒中で重縮合反応させてポリアミド酸を得ることができる。
本発明に用いる(B)成分である特定アミン化合物は、分子内にアミノ基を1個と窒素含有芳香族複素環とを有し、かつ前記アミノ基が2価の脂肪族炭化水素基又は非芳香族環式炭化水素基に結合しているアミン化合物である。
この特定アミン化合物は、分子内に含まれるアミノ基が1個のみであるので、液晶配向処理剤を調製する際や液晶配向剤の保管中に、ポリマーの析出やゲル化といった問題が起こる可能性を回避できる。
特定アミン化合物に含まれる窒素含有芳香族複素環は、下記の式[20a]、式[20b]及び式[20c]から選ばれる構造を少なくとも1個、好ましくは1個~4個を有する芳香族環式炭化水素であり、より好ましくは1個~4個である。
より好ましい特定アミン化合物としては、下記の式[6]で表されるアミン化合物である。
式[6]において、Y1は脂肪族炭化水素基又は非芳香族環式炭化水素基を有する2価の有機基であれば特に限定されない。
さらに、式[6]のY2である窒素含有芳香族複素環の炭素原子は、ハロゲン原子及び/又は有機基の置換基を有していてもよく、該有機基は酸素原子、硫黄原子、窒素原子等のヘテロ原子を含有してもよい。
さらに好ましい特定アミン化合物としては、下記の式[7]で表されるアミン化合物である。

本発明の液晶配向処理剤は、通常、上記した(A)成分である特定ポリイミドと(B)成分である特定アミン化合物とを有機溶媒中で混合して得られる。混合する特定ポリイミド及び特定アミン化合物は、それぞれ、1種類でもよく、複数種類を併用してもよい。
特定ポリイミドと特定アミン化合物とを有機溶媒中で混合した後に加熱することは好ましい。加熱することで、液晶配向処理剤の状態で既に結合している特定アミン化合物と特定ポリイミドの比率が増加し、液晶配向膜としたときにより効率的に電荷の移動が可能となる。混合後に加熱する場合の温度は10~100℃が好ましく、より好ましくは20~80℃である。
特定アミン化合物の使用量は、本発明の効果が効率よく得られ、かつ液晶配向処理剤の安定性を損なわないという理由から、特定ポリイミドに含まれるカルボキシル基の1モル量に対して0.01~2モル倍が好ましく、より好ましくは0.05~1モル倍であり、特に好ましくは0.08~0.8モル倍である。

液晶配向膜と基板との密着性を向上させる化合物の具体例としては、次に示す官能性シラン含有化合物やエポキシ基含有化合物であるものが挙げられる。
本発明の液晶配向処理剤は、基板上に塗布、焼成した後、ラビング処理や光照射などで配向処理をして、又は垂直配向用途などでは配向処理無しで液晶配向膜として用いることができる。この際、用いる基板としては透明性の高い基板であれば特に限定されず、ガラス基板、アクリル基板やポリカーボネート基板などのプラスチック基板などを用いることができる。また、液晶駆動のためのITO電極などが形成された基板を用いることがプロセスの簡素化の観点から好ましい。また、反射型の液晶表示素子では片側の基板のみにならばシリコンウエハー等の不透明な物でも使用でき、この場合の電極はアルミ等の光を反射する材料も使用できる。
本発明の液晶表示素子は、上記した手法により本発明の液晶配向剤から液晶配向膜付き基板を得た後、公知の方法で液晶セルを作成し、液晶表示素子としたものである。
以上のようにして、本発明の液晶配向処理剤を用いて作製された液晶表示素子は、信頼性に優れたものとなり、大画面で高精細の液晶テレビなどに好適に利用できる。
