Definitions
- the present invention concerns functionalized photoreactive compounds that are particularly useful in materials for the alignment of liquid crystals.
- Liquid crystal devices are more and more used in many different applications. Examples are liquid crystal displays (LCD) and optical films, in particular polarizing films and retardation films, as well as security devices for preventing forgery, counterfeiting and copying.
- LCD liquid crystal displays
- optical films in particular polarizing films and retardation films, as well as security devices for preventing forgery, counterfeiting and copying.
- the successful functioning and performance of a liquid crystal device relies on the ability of the liquid crystal molecules within that device to adopt and maintain an alignment imposed upon them. Alignment of the liquid crystal molecules is achieved by use of an alignment layer which defines a direction of orientation for the liquid crystal molecules with the result that the longitudinal axes of the molecules become aligned with the direction of orientation defined by the alignment layer. In addition to this directional alignment, for some applications the alignment layer should also be able to impart to the liquid crystal molecules an angle of tilt so that the molecules align themselves at an angle out of the surface of the alignment layer.
- a well known method for preparing alignment layers is a rubbing treatment wherein a high molecular resin film such as polyimide is rubbed in a single direction with a cloth.
- the liquid crystal molecules adjacent to the rubbed surface are aligned in the rubbing direction.
- alignment films formed by rubbing have some disadvantages like dust generation and scratches, which occur during the rubbing process.
- rubbing methods are not adequate for the production of structured layers, i.e layers having small areas with different alignment directions.
- liquid-crystal alignment control processes other than rubbing such as oblique deposition, photolithographic, Langmuir Blodgett film, ion irradiation, high velocity fluid jet and other processes.
- oblique deposition photolithographic
- Langmuir Blodgett film ion irradiation
- high velocity fluid jet high velocity fluid jet
- LPP linearly photo-polymerized alignment layers
- PPN photo-oriented polymer networks
- photoalignment materials advantageously should have a high photosensitivity and a broad processing window.
- Especially interesting materials would develop similar alignment properties for a relatively large range of irradiation energy (i.e. a broad processing window with respect to the irradiation method) and irradiation frequencies (i.e. usable with different radiation sources).
- the inventors have found that by the adjunction of an electron withdrawing group to specific molecular systems bearing an unsaturation directly attached to two unsaturated ring systems, exceptionally high photosensitivities could be achieved.
- the photoreactivity versus exposure energy of a specific compound according to the invention is given in Figure 1. It can be seen that already with an exposure energy of 20 mJ/cm 2 a very high photoreaction yield of 20 % can be reached. Additionally indicated is the contrast of a liquid crystalline polymer layer oriented by the correspondingly exposed compound. The contrast is measured between polarizers and already with very low exposure energies reaches values of more than 2000 and thus illustrates the good alignment quality.
- the substitution pattern has a marked effect on the alignment properties of the material and selected substituents have been identified that are able to provide excellent alignment properties Furthermore, the high photoreaction yield also supports the formation of a good mechanical robustness in materials comprising functionalized photoreactive compounds according to the invention.
- the inventors were able to synthesize materials having various absorption properties which offer the possibility to better fit the absorption characteristics of these materials to the emission spectrum of the applied polarized light.
- a and B each independently are a ring system of 5 to 40 atoms, wherein each ring system includes at least one unsaturation directly connected via electron conjugation ( ⁇ - ⁇ bonding) to the double bond shown in formula (I),
- S 1 is a single covalent bond or a spacer unit
- n 1 , 2 or 3;
- G is a hydrogen atom, optionally substituted alkyl, or a polymerizable group
- ring system A is 1 ,4-phenylene, which is unsubstituted or substituted with halogen, cyano and/or nitro
- ring system B is 1 ,4-phenylene, which is unsubstituted or substituted with halogen, cyano and/or nitro
- X is different from -CN and -COO-alkyl having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms.
- the functionalized photoreactive compounds are part of an oligomer, dendrimer or polymer, which may be a homopolymer or a copolymer.
- Said oligomer, dendrimer or polymer may be obtained by polymerization of the monomer of general formula (I) and may be in form of a gel or a network.
- the invention relates in a further aspect to alignment layer materials comprising said functionalized.
- photoreactive compounds according to the general formula (I) in monomeric, oligomeric, dendrimeric or polymeric form.
- alignment layer materials are particularly useful for the alignment of liquid crystals and polymerizable or crosslinkable liquid crystalline materials.
- optical elements e.g. polymerized or crosslinked films having a nematic, smectic or cholesteric order
- electro-optical elements e.g. liquid crystal display cells
- an alignment layer made of a material comprising functionalized photoreactive compounds according to the general formula (I) in monomeric, oligomeric, dendrimeric or polymeric form.
- the alignment layer has a pattern of different alignment directions, which pattern advantageously can be formed by photoalignment methods.
- the invention also relates to the use of materials containing functionalized photoreactive compounds according to the general formula (I) for the preparation of alignment layers.
- a and B each independently are a ring system of 5 to 40 atoms, wherein each ring system includes at least one unsaturation directly connected via electron conjugation ( ⁇ - ⁇ bonding) to the double bond shown in formula (I),

- G is a hydrogen atom, optionally substituted alkyl, or a polymerizable group

- ring system B is 1 ,4-phenylene, which is unsubstituted or substituted with halogen, cyano and/or nitro
- X is different from -CN and -COO-alkyl having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms.

- the compounds defined hereinabove distinguish themselves from compounds in the prior art, such as EPO 611 786 B1 , in that they show superior photosensitivity in combination with good alignment properties und good mechanical robustness. These properties are due to the very specific molecular arrangement of these compounds, which is characterized by a unique selection of specific substituents of electronwithdrawing nature in combination with a specific extended conjugation system comprising two (at least partially) unsaturated ring systems linked by a double bond bearing said substituents. There has not been any report on compounds with such structural characteristics showing the above stipulated outstanding properties in the prior art.

- aromatic tetracarboxylic acid dianhydrides are:
- tetracarboxylic acid dianhydrides used to form the tetravalent organic radical T are selected from:
- diamine or "diamine compound” is to be understood as designating a chemical structure which has at least two amino groups, i.e. which may also have 3 or more amino groups.
- the diamine represents an optionally substituted aliphatic, aromatic or alicyclic diamino group having from 1 to 40 carbon atoms and preferably made from or selected from the following group of structures: aniline, p-phenylenediamine, m-phenylenediamine, benzidine, diaminofluorene, or their derivatives, with the proviso that compounds listed which do not carry two amino groups are taken as derivatives with at least one additional amino group, and more preferably made from or selected from the following commercially available amino compounds (example of suppliers: Aldrich, ABCR, ACROS, Fluka) which can also be used as comonomers:
- Preferred examples of additional other diamines are:
- the polymers of the present invention have a molecular weight Mw between 1 000 and 5 000 000, preferably however between 5 000 and 2 000 000, especially advantageously however between 10000 and 1 000 000.
- the number of monomer building blocks from which the polymer chains according to the invention are synthesised can vary within a wide range. It is generally from 2 to 2000, but especially from 3 to 200.
- the polymers according to the invention may further contain additives such as silane-containing compounds and epoxy-containing crosslinking agents for further improving the adhesion of the polymer to a substrate.
- additives such as silane-containing compounds and epoxy-containing crosslinking agents for further improving the adhesion of the polymer to a substrate.
- silane adhesion promoters were described in the literature, for example Plast. Eng. 36 (1996) (Polyimides, fundamentals and applications).
- the above epoxy-containing crosslinking agent preferably includes 4,4'-methylenebis( ⁇ /, ⁇ /-diglycidylaniline), trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether, benzene-1 ,2,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid 1 ,2:4,5- ⁇ /, ⁇ /'-diglycidyldiimide, polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, ⁇ /, ⁇ /-diglycidylcyclohexylamine and the like.
- the polymers according to the invention may contain additives such a photosensitiser, a photoradical generator and/or a cationic photoinitiator.
- Example for such additives were 2,2-dimethoxyphenylethanone, mixture of diphenylmethanone and ⁇ /, ⁇ /-dimethylbenzenamine or ethyl 4-(dimethylamino)benzoate, xanthone, thioxanthone, IRGACURETM 184, 369, 500, 651 and 907 (Ciba), Michler's ketone, triaryl sulfonium salt and the like.
- the polymers according to the invention may be used as a single polymer or as mixture with other polymers, oligomers, monomers, photoactive polymers, photoactive oligomers and/or photoactive monomers.
- the properties of the layer may be modified to give what is sought. For example, an induced pretilt angles, good surface wetting, high voltage holding ratio, a specific anchoring energy etc. may be obtained.
- the polymers according to the invention can then be applied to a support and, after any imidisation step which may be necessary, crosslinked by irradiation with linearly polarised light, that is to say by cycloaddition of their side-chains containing the photoreactive group, there being obtained, depending upon the direction of polarisation of the light radiated in, a preferred direction of orientation and of the angle of tilt for liquid crystals that are bought into contact with the alignment layer.
- By spatially selective irradiation of the molecular units according to the invention it is hence possible for very specific regions of a surface to be aligned and provided with a defined angle of tilt. At the same time the alignment layer so produced is also stabilised by the cycloaddition.
- Such alignment layers can be produced, for example, by first preparing a solution of the resulting polymer material, which is applied to a support, which is optionally coated with an electrode (for example a glass plate coated with indium-tin oxide (ITO)), in a spin-coating apparatus, so that homogeneous layers of 5 nanometer to 2 micrometer thickness are produced. Then, or optionally after prior imidisation, the regions to be oriented can be irradiated, for example, with a high-pressure mercury vapour lamp, a xenon lamp or a pulsed UV laser, using a polariser and optionally a mask for creating images of structures. The irradiation time is dependent upon the output of the individual lamps and can vary from a few seconds to several hours. The photoreaction can also be carried out, however, by irradiation of the homogeneous layer using filters that, for example, allow only the radiation suitable for the crosslinking reaction to pass through.
- ITO indium-tin oxide
- Such alignment layers of the invention may be used in the production of optical or electro-optical devices having at least one orientation layer as well as unstructured and structured optical elements and multi-layer systems.
- the invention further relates to an optical or electro-optical device comprising one or more oligomers, dendrimers or polymers according to the present invention in cross-linked form.
- This example was prepared in a manner analogous to Example A21.
- This example illustrates how an alignment layer can be made of a material comprising functionalized photoreactive compounds according to the invention.
- a two percent by weight solution S of the photoreactive polymer formulation of Example A1 was prepared using cyclopentanone as a solvent. The solution was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. Solution S was spin-coated at 3000 rpm onto a glass substrate, which was then dried for 10 minutes at 180 0 C.
- the substrates were subsequently irradiated with polarized UVA light from a mercury high-pressure lamp, the direction of incidence being perpendicular to the substrate surface.
- polarized UVA light from a mercury high-pressure lamp
- a Moxtec polarizer was used for the polarization.
- different irradiation energies of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 mJ/cm 2 were applied.
- Example B2 The layers thus prepared showed the desired alignment properties for liquid crystals; an illustrative example is given in Example B2 below. Analogous experiments were made for the polymers and monomers of all Examples A2 ff. described above. Also in these cases the layers showed the desired alignment properties.
- This example illustrates the use of an alignment layer comprising functionalized photoreactive compounds according to the invention to orient cross-linkable monomers during the making of a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP).
- LCP liquid crystalline polymer
- _CP was prepared comprising the following liquid crystalline diacrylate monomers:
- the solution S was spincoated on a glass plate, dried and subsequently exposed to polarized UV-light, having an incidence angle of 70°. Then diacrylate solution S(LCP) was spin-coated at 800 rpm for 2 minutes on top of the alignment layer. To cross-link the diacrylates the plate was then exposed to isotropic UV-light under nitrogen atmosphere for 5 minutes.
