Abstract

Abstract A polyamide acid solution comprises a polyamide acid comprising as main components at least one recurring unit selected from the recurring units shown of the formulae (I) to (IV) and a recurring unit of formula (V) and optionally up to 10 wt% of an epoxy resin, dissolved in an organic solvent comprising at least 50 wt%, preferably at least 70%, of an amide type polar solvent having a boiling point of 170°C or less, e.g. N,N-dimethylacetamide or N,N-dimethylformamide, the balance if any of solvent being a poor solvent of low boiling point. A layer of the viscous solution is coated on a glass plate and heated to cause dehydrocyclisation so as to form a polyimide film which has colorless transparency free from coloration, 1 and strong adhesion to the substrate to prevent penetration of water into interface between the substrate and film. The solution is particularly useful for forming an oriented film in a liquid crystal cell.
