<p>Disclosed is a liquid crystal aligning agent containing at least one substance selected from the group consisting of polysiloxanes, which are synthesized through a step wherein a silane compound is subjected to hydrolysis or hydrolysis-condensation in the presence of an alkali metal compound or an organic salt group and have a structure represented by the formula (S-0) below, hydrolysis products of such polysiloxanes and condensates of such hydrolysis products. (S-0) (In the formula (S-0), R represents an alkyl group having 4-20 carbon atoms, a group having a fluoroalkyl group having 1-20 carbon atoms or a cyclohexyl group, or a group having 17-51 carbon atoms and a steroid structure; and Yrepresents a hydroxy group, an alkoxyl group having 1-10 carbon atoms, an alkyl group having 1-6 carbon atoms or an aryl group having 6-10 carbon atoms.)</p> |
