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 (IX). It 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 polyamide acid having as a main component at least one recurring unit selected from the recurring units of the formulae (V) to (VIII) in an amide-type organic polar solvent, forming a shaped article of the polyamide acid from the solution, and imidizing the resulting shaped article of the polyamide acid.
