The present invention provides novel polyimide, polyamic acids and esters thereof, and optical alignment layers derived therefrom, for inducing alignment of liquid crystals and liquid crystal displays. The novel compositions comprise side chain polymers of the general formula I
—L1—D—L2—Cf I
wherein D comprises 1 to 4 carbon-carbon double bonds, Cf is a monovalent C4 to C20 fluorocarbon radical and L1 and L2 are linking groups. The invention further describes liquid crystal displays and other liquid crystal devices.
本发明提供了新型聚
酰亚胺、聚酰胺酸及其
酯类,以及从中衍生出的光学对准层,用于诱导液晶和液晶显示器的对准。新型组合物包括通式I-L1-D-
L2-Cf的侧链聚合物,其中D包括1至4个碳-碳双键,Cf是一价的C4至C20
氟碳基,而L1和
L2是连接基团。本发明还描述了液晶显示器和其他液晶器件。
