the coupling agent: 0.1 to 5%;
the solvent: 72.5 to 95%; and
the inorganic powder in the functional material: 0.1 to 2.5%;
the above percentages are based on the sum of the mass of the polyimide, the coupling agent, the solvent, and the inorganic powder except the modified layer in the functional material.

2. The alignment material according to claim 1 , wherein without calculating the mass of the modified layer in the functional material, the mass percentage of the inorganic powder in the functional material is 0.1 to 2.0% based on the alignment material.

3. The alignment material according to claim 2 , wherein without calculating the mass of the modified layer in the functional material, the mass percentage of the inorganic powder in the functional material is 0.1 to 1.8% based on the alignment material.

4. A liquid crystal display substrate comprising an alignment layer, wherein the alignment layer is obtained by curing the alignment material according to claim 1 .

5. The alignment material according to claim 1 , wherein
the molar ratio of the dianhydride to the diamine for generating the modified layer is between 0.85:1 and 1.05:1.

6. The alignment material according to claim 5 , wherein
the molar ratio of the dianhydride to the diamine for generating the modified layer is between 0.92:1 and 1.05:1.

7. The alignment material according to claim 1 , wherein
the dianhydride for generating the modified layer comprises at least one phenyl; and
the diamine for generating the modified layer comprises at least one phenyl ring or at least one non-phenyl six-membered carbocyclic ring.

8. The alignment material according to claim 7 , wherein
