Provided is a spontaneous orientation aid for a liquid crystal composition capable of securing storage stability when added to a liquid crystal composition and enabling vertical alignment of liquid crystal molecules without forming a PI layer. Spontaneous alignment aid for the liquid crystal composition of the present embodiment, the equation as K i1 of the partial structures, in particular formula (i) represented by the following (i), formula (K-1) ~ expression represented by any one of (K-11) (Liquid crystal layer) is adsorbed on the substrate holding the liquid crystal composition (liquid crystal layer), and the liquid crystal molecules can be maintained in a state in which they are oriented in the vertical direction. Therefore, according to the spontaneous alignment assistant composition for a liquid crystal composition of the present embodiment, it is possible to orient liquid crystal molecules without forming a PI layer (causing vertical alignment of liquid crystal molecules when no voltage is applied and controlling the horizontal alignment of liquid crystal molecules ). |
