Abstract

A photo alignment material includes a photo alignment polymer and an organic solvent. The photo alignment polymer is prepared by polymerizing a diamine monomer including at least two photo reactive parts represented by the following Chemical Formula 1. In Chemical Formula 1, R 1 represents —(CH 2 ) n —, —O(CH 2 ) n — or R 2 , R 3 and R 4 each independently represent —H, —O(CH 2 ) m—1 —CH 3 or and n and m independently represent an integer of from 1 to 8. Thus, change of the orientation of the alignment layer due to the action of an electric stress may be prevented and/or reduced. Therefore, an after—image may be reduced, and display quality is improved.
