Problems solved by technology

A disadvantage of known alignment materials that induce very high pretilt angles is that they have high surface tension, which causes wetting problems
It is therefore not possible to apply a uniform layer of LCP prepolymer on top of such an alignment layer

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to new photoactive polymers and their use in the construction of alignment layers for liquid crystals and structured and unstructured optical elements and multilayer systems. Background technique [0002] The different optoelectronic effects used in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) require alignment layers with very high pretilt angles. For example, a vertically oriented nematic (VAN) LCD requires a pretilt angle of 85-90° measured from the surface plane. In the case of a mixed-positioned nematic (HAN)-LCD, the pretilt angle must be within the above range on one substrate, while the tilt angle on the other substrate is lower (typically 0-10°) . Brush-coated polyimides, which induce high pretilt angles, suffer from the well-known disadvantages associated with the brush-coating process. For VAN-LCDs, especially scratches caused by brushing and insufficient uniformity of the pretilt angle are well-known problems of the brush...
