Method for regenerating liquid crystal alignment materials

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for regenerating a liquid crystal alignment material, wherein a regenerated liquid crystal alignment layer that displays equal effects as an original liquid crystal alignment material in a LCD liquid crystal process can be regenerated by collecting a waste solution of an alignment material which is generated in mass during LCD manufacturing processes using liquid crystal alignment material. This is done by solidifying polyamic acids and soluble polyimides by putting a waste solution of alignment material into an organic solution or ultra purified water in which the alignment material constituents of polyamic acids and soluble polyimides are insoluble, separating polyamic acids and soluble polyimides from the organic solvent or ultra purified water, and dissolving the separated solid polyamic acids and soluble polyimides into a solvent. The regeneration of a liquid crystal alignment layer material using this method can greatly contribute to manufacturing costs reductions. <IMAGE>
