Abstract
Abstract A colorless transparent polyimide shaped article having as a main component at least one recurring unit selected from the recurring units of the formulae (I) to (III), which is useful, for example, as an oriented film in liquid crystal display devices. The polyimide shaped article is produced by a process which comprises preparing a solution of (A) a polyimide precursor obtained by reacting a diamino compound comprising as a main component at least one aromatic diamine having amino groups at the m-position selected from diamines of formulae (IV) to (VI) with a tetracarboxylic acid compound comprising as a main component a tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride of formula (VII) dissolved in (B) at least one organic polar solvent selected from N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, bis(2-methoxyethyl)ether, cresol and halogenated phenols; forming a shaped article of the polyimide precursor from the solution; and imidizing the resulting shaped article.
