Abstract

There is disclosed a liquid crystal display panel and the fabricating method thereof that is adaptive for preventing the deterioration of display quality in a high temperature environment. A liquid crystal display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a lower array substrate and an upper array substrate which face each other with a liquid crystal therebetween; and an alignment film formed in each of the upper array substrate and the lower array substrate for aligning the liquid crystal, wherein the alignment film is formed of polymers where an optically active radical as a functional group is combined into any one of a polybenzoxazole group compound, a polybenzthiazole group compound or a polybenzimidazole group compound.

Claims (35)

1 . A liquid crystal display panel, comprising:

a lower array substrate and an upper array substrate which face each other with a liquid crystal therebetween; and

an alignment film formed in at least one of the upper array substrate and the lower array substrate for aligning the liquid crystal,

wherein the alignment film is formed of a polymer having an optically active radical as a functional group, wherein said polymer is formed from any one of a polybenzoxazole group compound, a polybenzthiazole group compound or a polybenzimidazole group compound.

2 . The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the polybenzoxazole group compound is made by a step polymerization of phenylene dicarboxylic acid and diaminobenzendiol dihydrochloride.

3 . The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the polybenzthiazole group compound is made by a step polymerization of phenylene dicarboxylic acid and diaminobenzendithiol dihydrochloride.

4 . The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the polybenzimidazole group compound is made by a step polymerization of phenylene dicarboxylic acid and tetra amine.

5 . The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the optically active radical is a material which can undergo a reaction selected from the group consisting of photopolymerization, photoisomerization, photolysis and photo-realignment.

6 . The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 5 , wherein

said photopolymerization reaction material is any one of a cinnamic acid derivative, a chalcone derivative, a cumarine derivative and a maleimide derivative;
