Provided is a liquid crystal aligning agent that can increase adhesiveness between a sealing agent and a liquid crystal alignment film, and can suppress display anomalies that may occur under high temperature and high humidity conditions in liquid crystal display elements near the frame. The liquid crystal alignment agent contains a component (A), a component (B), and an organic solvent. Component (A): at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of a polyimide precursor having a structural unit represented by formula (1), and an imidized polymer of said polyimide precursor. Component (B): a compound having a hydroxyalkylamide group. (X 1 independently represents a tetravalent organic group; Y 1 represents a divalent organic group; R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or a C1-5 alkyl group; and A 1 and A 2 independently represent a hydrogen atom, a C1-10 alkyl group, a C2-10 alkenyl group, or a C2-10 alkynyl group, and said groups may have a substituent.) |
