PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a siloxane polymer, an alignment layer containing the siloxane polymer, and a method of using the alignment layer for photo-orientation of liquid crystal, that is, for planar orientation of liquid crystal or vertical orientation of liquid crystal. A formula (I) for photo-alignment of a liquid crystal, specifically, planar orientation of a liquid crystal. With respect to siloxane polymers containing at least the structural units indicated by, and their use in optical and electro-optical devices such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs).
