Abstract

La présente invention concerne : un agent d'alignement de cristaux liquides pour obtenir un film d'alignement de cristaux liquides qui a obtenu un bon équilibre entre des propriétés d'alignement de cristaux liquides et la résistance mécanique du film ; un film d'alignement de cristaux liquides qui est obtenu à l'aide de cet agent d'alignement de cristaux liquides ; et un élément d'affichage à cristaux liquides qui comprend ce film d'alignement de cristaux liquides. La présente invention concerne un agent d'alignement de cristaux liquides qui contient : un polymère qui contient au moins un polymère choisi parmi le groupe constitué de précurseurs de polyimide, ayant une unité structurelle représentée par la formule (1), et de polymères imidisés des précurseurs de polyimide ; un composé représenté par la formule (3) ; et un solvant organique. (Dans les formules (1)-(3), les symboles sont tels que définis dans la description.)
