LIQUID CRYSTAL ALIGNING AGENT AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE MANUFACTURED BY USING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention provides an inducer to vertically align liquid crystals, comprising at least one affinitive liquid crystal non-affinitive liquid crystal compound which contains an affinitive liquid crystal region including an affinitive liquid crystal group having high chemical affinity to a liquid crystal host, and a non-affinitive liquid crystal region including a non-affinitive liquid crystal group having low chemical affinity to the liquid crystal host. At least one of the affinitive liquid crystal non-affinitive liquid crystal compounds includes at least one liquid crystal having an affinity group with at least eight carbon atoms in the affinitive liquid crystal region. The ratio of non-affinity liquid crystal, (X′), of the inducer for vertically aligning liquid crystals, calculated by the following mathematical equation 1, is 0.5 to 6. The present invention also provides a liquid crystal display device manufactured using the inducer. ′Mathematical Equation 1′ n, X, and Y in the equation are the same as defined in the specification.
