A liquid crystal alignment agent allowing formation of an LCD element having good reliability and less residual image, a liquid crystal alignment film, and an LCD element having the liquid crystal alignment film are shown. The liquid crystal alignment agent includes a polymer (A), a photosensitive polysiloxane (B), and a solvent (C). The polymer (A) is obtained by reacting a mixture that includes a tetracarboxylic dianhydride component (a-1) and a diamine component (a-2). The photosensitive polysiloxane (B) is obtained by reacting a polysiloxane (b-1) having an epoxy group with a cinnamic acid derivative (b-2) and an aromatic heterocyclic derivative (b-3) containing nitride, oxide or sulfide.
图中展示了一种可形成可靠性高且残像少的液晶元件的液晶配向剂、一种液晶配向膜和一种具有该液晶配向膜的液晶元件。液晶配向剂包括聚合物(A)、光敏聚
硅氧烷(B)和溶剂(C)。聚合物 (A) 是通过对包括四
羧酸二酐成分 (a-1) 和二胺成分 (a-2) 的混合物进行反应而得到的。光敏聚
硅氧烷(B)是由具有环氧基团的聚
硅氧烷(b-1)与
肉桂酸衍
生物(b-2)和含有
氮化物、氧化物或
硫化物的芳香杂环衍
生物(b-3)反应而得。
