ALIGNMENT LAYER, PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ALIGNMENT LAYER, SUBSTRATE WITH ALIGNMENT LAYER AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY

摘要

The present invention has a main object to provide an orientation film that enables appropriately orienting the liquid crystal without forming a structural member such as a projecting portion, etc. or without performing rubbing processing. To attain the object, the present invention provides an orientation film that has on its surface on a side where the liquid crystal layer is contacted therewith a pattern including a water-repellent region and a hydrophilic region that is a region where the angle of contact with water is smaller than that in the water-repellent region.
