Patent ID: 8867002

Claim:
A photoalignable polymer composition, containing as a first component a polymer having a silicone group and a photoalignable group, and as a second component a non-photoalignable polymer obtained by polymerizing a monomer containing at least one selected from the group of methacrylic acid and methacrylate, wherein the photoalignable group in the first component has at least one structure represented by formulas (I-1) and (I-2) as described below, wherein m represents an integer from 0 to 6, and arbitrary hydrogen of a phenylene group may be replaced by fluorine, a methyl group or a methoxy group, and wherein the polymer of the first component has a silicone group and the silicone group is represented by formula (I-4) as described below, wherein R 2 represents hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbons in which arbitrary hydrogen may be replaced by fluorine, r represents an integer from 0 to 6 and n represents an integer from 1 to 200.
