Abstract

The present invention relates to a liquid crystal alignment layer of a liquid crystal display that can minimize drop blemishes of liquid crystal in the ODF process. The present invention provides a composition of a liquid crystal alignment layer comprising a diamine compound represented by Formula 1 below, an acid anhydride, and a solvent, in which the diamine compound represented by Formula 1 has a concentration of 15-40 mol %: where R is a C 10 -C 30 saturated or unsaturated alkyl, allyl, or aromatic hydrocarbon that is substituted by a heteroatom or is unsubstituted. The invention also provides a liquid crystal alignment layer and a liquid crystal display that comprises the liquid crystal alignment layer.

Claims (20)

1. A composition of a liquid crystal alignment layer, comprising:

a diamine compound represented by Formula 1 below;

an acid anhydride; and

a solvent:

wherein R is a C 10 -C 30 saturated or unsaturated alkyl, allyl, or aromatic hydrocarbon that is substituted by a heteroatom or is unsubstituted, and

wherein the diamine compound represented by Formula 1 has a concentration of 15-40 mol %.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by Formula 1 has a concentration of 20-35 mol %.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the solvent is at least one selected from the group consisting of a polar solvent and a nonpolar solvent.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the solvent is at least one selected from the group consisting of γ-butyrolactone, N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), N-ethylpyrrolidone, N-vinylpyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, ethylcellosolve, butylcellosolve, ethylcarbitol, butylcarbitol (BC), ethylcarbitol acetate, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol monoacetate, propylene glycol diacetate, dipropylene glycol, and dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether.

5. A liquid crystal alignment layer formed by coating the following composition on a substrate on which a transparent electrode has been formed, and curing the same,

wherein the composition comprises:

a diamine compound represented by Formula 1 below;

an acid anhydride; and

a solvent:

wherein R is a C 10 -C 30 saturated or unsaturated alkyl, allyl, or aromatic hydrocarbon that is substituted by a heteroatom or is unsubstituted, and

wherein the diamine compound represented by Formula 1 has a concentration of 15-40 mol %.

6. The liquid crystal alignment layer of claim 5 , wherein the compound represented by Formula 1 has a concentration of 20-35 mol %.

7. The liquid crystal alignment layer of claim 5 , wherein the solvent is at least one selected from the group consisting of a polar solvent and a nonpolar solvent.

8. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the solvent is at least one selected from the group consisting of γ-butyrolactone, N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), N-ethylpyrrolidone, N-vinylpyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, ethylcellosolve, butylcellosolve, ethylcarbitol, butylcarbitol (BC), ethylcarbitol acetate, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol monoacetate, propylene glycol diacetate, dipropylene glycol, and dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether.

9. A liquid crystal display comprising the liquid crystal alignment layer of claim 5 .
