PURPOSE: To prepare an oriented film capable of providing a liquid crystal display with excellent liquid crystal orientation, high contrast and high transmissivity in a bright state by using a modified polysaccharide as a constituent material of the oriented film for the liquid crystal display.
CONSTITUTION: This oriented film for a liquid crystal display contains: (a) an oligomer/polymer consisting of at least one six-membered cyclic monosaccharide unit in which all or some of the free OH radicals are optinonally converted into their derivative radicals and which has equatorial substituents at the 2-, 3- and 6-positions of the ring; and (b) at least one compound selected from macrocyclic compounds, cryptands, coronands, oidands, mercapto compounds and ionophores.
