1. Polyimides for producing low-energy anchoring layers in nematic liquid-crystal cells, according to the following types:
- polyimide derived from 2,2′
-bis (3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6FDA) and from 3,3′
-dihydroxy-4, 4′
diaminobiphenyl of formula I;
in which the radicals R1 and R2, which are identical or different, represent an alkyl, arylalkyl, heteroarylalkyl, (cycloalkyl)alkyl, fluoroalkyl or siloxane radical and n is between 1 and 20;
polyimide derived from pyromellitic anhydride (PMDA) and from 2,2-bis (3-amino-4-hydroxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane (Bis-AP-AF) of formula II. in which the radicals R3 and R4, which are identical or different, have the same meaning as R1 and R2 and n is between 1 and 20; and
copolymers of polyimide (I) and of polyimide (II).

Abstract
The present invention relates to novel polyimides derived from 6FDA and from 3,3-dihydroxy-4,4′-diaminobiphenyl and novel polyimides derived from PMDA and from Bis-AP-AF, having alkyl, arylalkyl, heteroarylalkyl, (cycloalkyl)alkyl, fluoroalkyl or siloxane side groups.
The present invention also relates to a method of producing nematic liquid-crystal devices, which comprises the steps consisting in:
- depositing one of the polyimides according to the invention on a substrate;
- annealing the polyimide in one or more steps; and
- defining an azimuthal orientation of the polyimide coating.
