Abstract

Abstract This invention is concerned with a composition to be used as an agent for aligning liquid crystals in a liquid crystal cell, wherein liquid crystal molecules are aligned with an increased pretilt angle with respect to the substrate, such composition consists essentially of a polyimide resin precursor having repeating units represented by the formula (I) wherein R₁ denotes an organic group constituting a tetracarboxylic acid or its derivative; and R₂ represents a divalent organic group constituting a diamine; and a precursor of a diimide compound represented by the formula (II) or (III): wherein R₃ denotes a divalent organic group constituting a diamine; each of R₄ and R₅ represents an organic groups constituting a dicarboxylic acid containing an alkyl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, or its derivative, wherein R₆ denotes an organic group constituting a tetracarboxylic acid or its derivative, and each of R₇ and R₈ represents an organic group constituting a monoamine containing an alkyl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms.
