DIOXETANE COMPOUND, CATIONICALLY POLYMERIZABLE COMPOSITION, OPTICAL FILM AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY UNIT

摘要

The present invention provides a novel dioxetane compound having a cationically polymerizable oxetane group, which compound is excellent in compatibility with a liquid crystalline compound and a non-liquid crystalline compound. The present invention also provides an optical film with excellent liquid crystal orientation retention properties and mechanical strength, produced by aligning a composition of the dioxetane compound and a cationically polymerizable compound in a liquid crystal orientation and fixing the liquid crystal orientation by polymerization, and a liquid crystal display device with the optical film.
