An object of the present invention is to provide a photo-alignable polymer which has excellent coating properties, is capable of suppressing film thickness unevenness, and has excellent upper layer coating properties and good liquid crystal alignment properties after being formed as a layer; a binder composition; a binder layer; an optical laminate; a method for producing an optical laminate; and an image display device. The photo-alignable polymer of an embodiment of the present invention is a photo-alignable polymer having a repeating unit A including a cleavage group capable of decomposing by an action of at least one selected from the group consisting of light, heat, an acid, and a base to generate a polar group, in which the repeating unit A has the cleavage group in a side chain, has a fluorine atom or a silicon atom on a side closer to a terminal than the cleavage group in the side chain, and the photo-alignable polymer satisfies Condition 1 or Condition 2 shown below.
Condition 1: The photo-alignable polymer further has a repeating unit B including a photo-alignable group, in addition to the repeating unit A.
Condition 2: The repeating unit A includes a photo-alignable group on a side closer to the main chain than the cleavage group in the side chain.
本发明的目的是提供一种光致可对准聚合物,它具有优异的涂布性能,能够抑制膜厚不均匀,并且在形成层后具有优异的上层涂布性能和良好的液晶对准性能;一种粘结剂组合物;一种粘结剂层;一种光学层压材料;一种生产光学层压材料的方法;以及一种图像显示装置。本发明一个实施例中的光对准聚合物是一种具有重复单元 A 的光对准聚合物,该重复单元 A 包括一个裂解基团,该裂解基团能够在至少一种选自光、热、酸和碱组成的组的作用下分解,从而生成一个极性基团、其中重复单元 A 在侧链中具有裂解基团,在比侧链中的裂解基团更靠近末端的一侧具有氟原子或硅原子,并且该光可对准聚合物满足下述条件 1 或条件 2。
条件 1:除重复单元 A 外,光致可对准聚合物还具有包括光致可对准基团的重复单元 B。
条件 2:重复单元 A 包括一个光致变性基团,位于比侧链中的裂解基团更靠近主链的一侧。
